Cute Cupid meets Holiday Occasions

It was a perfect match pairing up the LOVE sentiment from the new Holiday Occasions set (which was November's CAS set and is now for general sale) and the Cute Cupid set which is, well, cute;).  Hope you enjoy today's post using both of these newly released sets from Whimsy Stamps.

To start off with I used a Sizzix brick embossing folder for the background.  The hearts are a really old sizzix die too but the Whimsy Stamps Stitched Hearts Dies match even better and they are on sale right now too! 

I stamped the LOVE sentiment from the Holiday Occasions set with SU! real red ink, the wings and halo were stamped with Memento black ink and colored using Copic markers.

The bottom sentiment is stamped on a plain white strip of cardstock with Versafine black ink which is by far my favorite ink for sentiments.  Did you know Whimsy is now carrying Versafine and Memento inks you can find them HERE.

I used the matching Cute Cupid die set to cut out the wings and halo and popped up the heart and halo with foam tape for dimension.

LAST CHANCE Retiring Whimsy Stamps Products

The New Year is fast approaching and Whimsy Stamps is retiring several products to make room for all the new goodies arriving in 2019. I'm sharing 3 new project in this post using retiring sets and at the bottom of this post I have links for you to peek at some of my favorite cards over the past couple of years of sets that are retiring on 12/31/18. 

There's a 30% off code to use at check out (WhimsyRetire30) that is good until 12/25/18 but the stock of retiring products is limited and once they're gone they're gone for good, so don't wait this is your LAST CHANCE to get them!

Here's a SUPER quick and easy, clean and simple birthday card for the zombie lover(s) in your life. 

I stamped the zombie from the "If I Only Had a Brain" (retiring on 12/31/18) stamp set multiple times across a white strip of card stock.  Then I stamped the ZOMBIES sentiment and matted the image onto a black base leaving a 1/4" edge on the top and bottom.

After I glued that to the front of a white card base I stamped the top and bottom sentiments.   Totally quick and easy AND I used only one stamp set, ink and paper.  Anyone can stamp it's...easy cheesy and FUN!

Here is another card I haven't posted yet with a retiring set called Angel Blessings. This sweet angel image is accompanied by several sentiments for all kinds of different occasions. 

I stamped her onto watercolor paper and used distress inks to water color. Then just hand cut her and the sentiments out and popped the angel up on foam tape for dimension.

For my last card I used the Holiday Occasions set, which is a great multi-occasion set for several holidays combined all into one set.

and for this card I used distress inks to water color my background. Then heat embossed the sentiment and ornament with white embossing powder. After, I just splattered on some plain water spots and used my paint brush with a more blue distress ink and filled in the ornament a little darker. Then cut it out with the Stitched Rectangle die and popped it up on foam tape on a white card base. 

Here are some of my favorite cards I've made using products that are retiring on 12/31/18...

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Top-o-the-mornin' to ya!  I hope your St. Patrick's Day is filled with many blessings.  

Today I have for you an easy card celebrating this fun holiday using the Holiday Occasions stamp set and Flower Flourish stencil.

I used green ink to sponge on the Flower Flourish stenciled background onto white paper.  Then I cut it out with a stitched border die.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Holiday Occasions set with gold embossing powder, this is a really great multi-holiday set for your collection.  

I cut the sentiment out using a spellbinders label die then cut a second label die in black.  I cut out the center portion of the black label and taped each left over piece to the back of of the white label on each side to give it an little extra pop.

The top hat was heat embossed with black embossing powder and I used a gold sharpie to color in the buckle.  I fussy cut it out and attached it directly to the sentiment.

I matted onto a black card base and popped up the sentiment on foam tape for added dimension.

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!

Happy HOWLing Night

This is a really quick and easy card, and all I used was stamps, ink and paper so it's a frugal card as well as frightful card - der, de der!

I stamped the wolf from the Howling Night clear stamp set 

Then I stamped the claw marks around the wolf image as well as on the strip of cardstock on the background using the same red ink for both.

The sentiment is from the Holiday Occasions set, this is a great set if you're looking for big sentiments that cover several holidays all in one set

I added a little bit of pastel chalk under the wolf for a bit of a shadow. This Howling Night set has one of my favorite Halloween sentiments ever. It's a quote from none other than Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi)  himself speaking about werewolves when they howl at the moon...listen to it HERE 

Happy HOWLING!

Paper Door Glitter Globe Acorn

For today's NEW Glitter Globe PAPER DOOR post I have a twist on how to use the globe die. I turned our wintery, snow globe into a big acorn, kinda cool huh?!

The acorn is simply the globe die turned upside down and the top is the globe base turned upside down. After I die cut the globe base I used the Wire Fence embossing folder to give it some texture. Then inked all the edges and just hand cut a scrap for the stem. 

The sentiment is from the Holiday Occasions clear set

And I used the Shiplap Background for, you guessed it, the background ;)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Here's a listing of the Whimsy Stamps products I used for this card...
