Whimsy Stamps - Scrooge Keyhole Tunnel Window Card

Hello there.  I have another Christmas card today using more fabulous products from Whimsy Stamps (WS).  Last year Santa was at the door peeking in through the keyhole… and now we know what he saw. 😂LOL


Started by trimming four gradient blue colour cardstock to A2 size (4.25x5.5-inches).  Die cut them with the Keyhole die set then stacked them together for the tunnel.  Adhered it to a white A2 top folding card base where the front was die cut out with the smallest die for the window opening.    


Scrooge was then stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, coloured with Copic Sketch markers then fussy cut out. 

Copic markers used:
skin - E00/11/13 
blues - B00/12, FB2 
greys - W00/1/3 


To create the room scene inside, stamped Scrooge and the Farmhouse Shiplap Background onto a white top folded 4x5.25-inch notecard to provide a place to write messages.  Next, dragged direct-to-paper Gathered Twigs distress ink cube (DI) across the bottom for the floor.  


Ink blended Scattered Straw DI around the candle flame followed with Lost Shadow/Black Soot DIs over a Giraffe stencil for the stone wall. 


Pieced the fussy cut Scrooge on top of the other Scrooge.  Mounted the die cut sentiment on the front and assembled the card to finish.

Whimsy Stamps - Ho Ho No Blitzened

Hello everyone.  I’m popping in to share a fun Christmas card featuring products from Whimsy Stamps (WS).  


The original passed out Santa image has him holding a beer.  What he really needed was coffee! 😂*LOL*  

After the Santa image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper, it was coloured with Copic Sketch markers (R14/27/39, C0/1/2/3//6/8) then fussy cut out to exclude the beer.  The coffee cup was die cut out from white and the sno2flake was stencilled onto the sleeve using Lumberjack Plaid distress ink (DI) and a blending brush.  The sentiment letters were die cut from red and black cardstock ad white glitter paper.  The sentiment strip was heat embossed on black with white embossing powder.  Assembled the card onto a white woodgrain panel to finish.

Whimsy Stamps - Monsters Close

Happy Halloween to all who celebrate.  And on that note, I have a gruesome in a funny kinda way Halloween slimline card to share using products from Whimsy Stamps(WS).  


The Slimline Hourglass component were die cut from black cardstock and X-Press It paper.  The “funnel”-shape cutout was coloured with R17/29/39 Copic Sketch markers (CM) after the bloody meal he just had. 😝   Copic Sketch markers C0/2 were used to define the hourglass glass thickness.  The vampire from Monsters Close Ups was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It paper and coloured with CM R14/27 for the eyes and C00/0/1/2/3 for shading.  Partial die cut him out with the hourglass die him out with the hourglass die. 


The splatters of blood on the bottom part of the hourglass was stencilled in by ink blending Lumberjack Plaid DI through a Puddles stencil, then fussy cut out.  Added highlights to the spldroplets with a white gel pen.  For the background, Lumberjack Plaid and Black Soot distress inks (DI) were ink smooshed onto mixed media paper first followed by ink blending Black Soot DI around the edges.  For some texture, splattered with diluted black gouache paint.  


Die cut the Batty bats from and black and Yummy from X-Press It papers.  White heat embossed “mwahahaha” on the hourglass bottom end piece then assembling the card onto a white 3.5x8.5-inch card base to finish.
