Candle Creeps

I used the Arched Window Die to create my card shape by tracing around the outside edge of the die and hand cutting from the pencil line.  I added some digital paper behind the arched frame to create a spooky effect.

All of the pieces for the candelabra were fussy cut before attaching with foam tape.  The bats are from the Dracula Going Batty Die Set.

Good morning everyone!

Oh my goodness…I was SO excited to work with ‘Rosie Riveter‘ from the September New Release from C.C. Designs.   I immediately thought of war planes and was on a mad hunt for paper to make my idea work.

Rosie is such an iconic part of World War II.  The women had to help out and work in a variety of positions that were previously closed to them.  The aviation industry saw the greatest increase in female workers during our country’s time of need.

Rosie the Riveter2

I printed Rosie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following copic markers:

~Copics~
Skin:  E11/00/000/0000-R20/30  Eyes:  BG72/70  Lips:  E04-R32/30
Pants:  B97/95/93/91-YR23/Y15/Y11
Bandana:  R46/27/24 – white gel pen
Shirt, Socks, and Rag:  N2/1/0
Shoes:  N8/5/4/3

Rosie the Riveter1

I wasn’t originally going to fussy cut her out, but one of my markers wasn’t playing nice and blobbed on my image.  I had to take a deep breath and figure out how to save her as I only had her shoes left to color.  So…my plans changed and I am so pleased with how she turned out.  I call that a happy accident.  The airplanes are all fussy cut.

The paper is from a digi file I purchased on Etsy found here.  The dies are from Momma Elephant and La-La Land Crafts.

As always, there is an abundance of inspiration to be found in the store here.

Good morning everyone!

Who says Zebra’s have to be black and white?  I couldn’t resist turning ‘Z is for Zebra‘ from All Dressed Up Stamps into this adorable little gift tag.

Welcome Little One

This super sweet Zebra was printed on X-Press It Blending Card and was colored with Copic Markers.

~Copics~
R00/000/0000-RV00/000/0000-BV20

Welcome Little One1

I pleated some pretty pink ribbon with a needle before
tucking it behind the sentiment strip.

Welcome Little One2

The patterned paper was a small scrap I had in my stash.  It kind of looks like faint gray Zebra stripes, and it has pink flowers which is always a bonus in my book…lol!

Welcome Little One3

The dies are from Marianne Designs (Tag set-CR1352), La-La Land Crafts, Magnolia, and Rox Stamps.  I die cut the smaller tag twice, once on the patterned paper and once out of a white scrap.  I then glued them together to make it appear like it was thicker.

I finished it off with a few adorable flowers and a little bling.

The gorgeous flowers are from I Am Roses, the links are below:
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R2-2 – Mini Soft Pink Paper Flowers
R2-518 – Mini Variegated White – Soft Pink Paper Flowers

As always, you can find an abundance of gorgeous inspiration images for sale here.

Tidings of Joy

Hello everyone!

Can we say ADORABLE??…it’s new release time again at Whimsy Stamps.  My inspiration today came from the super adorable Ellie’s Bauble rubber stamp.  I completely fell in love with this little sweetie!!

Tidings of Joy

As always, I stamped this little sweetie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following copic markers.

~Copics~
Grays:  W3/2/1/0/00/BV23
Pinks:  RV00/000/0000
Purples:  BV04/02/01/000/0000/RV000

Tidings of Joy1

I created a shaker element with the Pierced and Stitched Circle Die Set and lots of clear sparkly shaker bits from my stash.  I fussy cut out Ellie and attached her to the front of the completed element.  I die cut two leaf sets from the Peony Flower Die.  The one on the left side of the card was cut apart (right leaf only).  The set of two leaves was attached to the main card and the right leaf was attached on top of the shaker element before attaching the thread and flowers.

I heat embossed the Lots of Dots Background stamp to the white border at the bottom with white embossing powder.  It is hard to see in photographs, but it is really pretty in person.  I also added white flower soft to the fuzzy parts of her hat, and sparkly bling to the centers of the snowflakes.

The sentiment is from the Holiday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set.

Tidings of Joy2

I added the following flowers from I Am Roses:
R2-518 – Mini Variegated White – Soft Pink Paper Flowers
T1-2 – Soft Pink Mini Artificial Paper Crafts Rosebuds
R2-426 – Mini Mixed Rainbow Pastel color Paper Flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers

Pumpkin Kitty

2 Comments

Hello everyone!

Squeeeeee…it’s new release time again at Whimsy Stamps.  My inspiration today came from the Build-a-Pumpkin Die Set, the Falling Leaves Background stamp, and the Dracula Going Batty Die Set.

I had so much fun being a little creative with this die cut.  I tried my hand at a little cat face drawing and turned this pumpkin into a pumpkin kitty….I LOVE how it turned out!!

Pumpkin Kitty

I die cut this pumpkin shape on X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the following Copic Markers.

Oranges:  E19/YR18/YR15/Y38/Y17/Y18/YR12

Nose:  W8/7/6/5
Stem:  E27/57/55/53/31, G94/YG03/YG01

Pumpkin Kitty2

I stamped the background with the Falling Leaves Background stamp.  I chose to keep it black and white as the pumpkin is pretty bright.  I added a little black and white stripe paper from My Favorite Things to the bottom, and a few bats from the Dracula Going Batty Die Set.

Pumpkin Kitty1

The sentiment was created with stamps from the Going Batty Stamp Set.  Once I had it stamped, I die cut it out with the Quick Strips Die Set.
