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! ๐Ÿ˜‚*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. ๐Ÿ˜   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.

Spellbinders - More Bibi’s Musical Notes

Hello everyone.  I’m back to share more cards featuring the Bibi’s Musical Notes collection by Bibi Cameron from Spellbinders (SB).  First up is a pink Christmas card in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month. 


The snow-woman from North Pole Sentiments was in my stash.  The sentiment, also from North Pole Sentiments, was die cut from X-Press It paper and coloured with a RV55 Copic Sketch marker. 


For the background, a snowy slope was fussy cut from white cardstock then flipped over to be used as a mask on a light pink panel before ink blending Picked Raspberry distress ink.  Glued the snow-woman to the scene then splattered with white gouache paint.  The music notes and stave were die cut from gold foil paper.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.


My second card is a birthday card.  


The Musical Notes 3D embossing folder.was used to dry emboss a piece of Bristol paper.  Brown ink left on a blending tool was then lightly applied to the raised music notes.  


Die cut the Mini Musical Instruments from gold foil, Kraft and chocolate paper.  Added dimension to the violin by ink blending chocolate dye ink to it.  Die cut a few music notes from black cards rock.  Assembled the card onto a white card base then finished with a gold foiled sentiment in my stash from the Birthday Sentiments sแบปt (currently on sale at 50% off).
