Snowman’s Birdie Friend For Whimsy Stamps

Hello friends! I really can’t believe how COLD it’s been our way especially for October! We even have SNOW in the forecast! Eeek! Now that’s scary for Halloween!

So since Christmas is on the way, I suppose it’s a good time to get into the spirit of the cold with a cute little snowman and his friend from Whimsy Stamps:

Vicki-WSSnowmanBirdie-Oct29

This guy looks so happy that his bird friend found a place to rest on his hat! 🙂 This image is called Snowman’s Birdie Friend by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.

I wanted to make a nice little “snowy scene” for the image, so I took out the Whimsy Stamps Snow Flurry clear stamp set and stamped some of the snowflakes from the set around the top of the image panel. I then die cut the image out along with creating a red “frame” with the Whimsy Stamps Notched Rectangles die set. (To do this, I just glued the red frame made with the die onto a piece of white cardstock and then glued the image panel inside the red frame. It’s the same size, so it fit into each other.) At this point, I added some glue to the bottom area under the snowman and sprinkled on some chunky white glitter for the snow-covered ground.

Since I was following a card sketch (see challenges below), I took out some papers from my stash and cut them on a diagonal and attached them over a piece of white cardstock and then wrapped some white organdy ribbon around it before attaching it to the top folding red 5″ square card base.

I took the Whimsy Stamps Holiday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set and white heat embossed the sentiment over the red cardstock and cut it out with a banner die from my stash. I popped this up with foam tape over the image panel. I also had a snowflake die and a border snowflake die that I cut with some glitter cardstock and attached around the card design and added some rhinestones in different areas. (I thought this helped add to the wintry scene of the image too.)

Lastly, I’ve added a brown button and natural twine over top of my white organdy bow.

Here’s a closer view of how I’ve colored in the image. As you can see, I’ve done a bit of paper piecing on the image by taking the same paper from the right edge of the card design and using it for the scarf, mittens and hat band. (I’ve used Copics to give it a bit of shading too, which you can see details below.)

Maybe a bit hard to tell in the photo, but I’ve added just a small dot of Glossy Accents to his blue nose. There are also highlights with a white gel pen on his nose, cheeks and the bird’s cheeks.

Here’s the Copic markers I’ve used to color the image with:

Snowman’s Hat – E89, E87, E84
Bird & Buttons – E39, E37, E35, E32 (Y17 for beak)
Snowman’s nose – B26, B24 (R00, R000 for cheeks)
Snowman’s Shadows – B00, B000, B0000
Scarf and Mittens Shadows – W3, W1

Oak Tree Boy Hanging Onto Fall

Hello friends! I hope that you’ve enjoyed the weekend and having a great start to your week so far! Right now the weather guy is saying that we could reach freezing temps on Halloween night! About 3 weeks ago we were still in hot temps and then ran right into this cold weather! I wish I could’ve had a couple of days to open windows and it doesn’t look like I’m going to get that! I’m trying to hang onto the Fall Season for as long as I possibly can!

Speaking of Fall, I have this really sweet image from Whimsy Stamps to share with you today! He’s literally hanging on a tree limb for Fall!

Vicki-WSOakTreeBoy

This adorable image is one from Syliva Zet for Whimsy Stamps called Oak Tree Boy and I have him and his little bird friend all colored up in Autumn colors!

I knew I wanted to grab the papers from the Whimsy Stamps Rustic Wood and Brick digital paper collection, so I grabbed some more plaid papers from my stash and layered it with some gold mirror cardstock that I’ve also used for the scalloped circle layer behind the image. I attached some seam binding ribbon around these layers and added them to a 5″ square kraft card base.

I took some sparkly Prima leaves from my stash and glued them on before adding the circle image panel with some craft foam behind it. I glued on the seam binding bow and then I took the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Sentiments and white heat embossed it over a piece of grey cardstock. I then cut it out with the Whimsy Stamps Quick Strips die set and attached it over top of the image panel.

Lastly, I added a few sequins and filled the centers with some Nuvo Glitter Drops.

Here’s a closer view of the image and how I’ve colored him in! For the “bells” on his hat and the little bird’s hat, I colored them, but then they were covered with a glue pen and some clear loose glitter. I took my Copic colors and did little “dots” (pointillism technique) around the image. I did this with a gold gel pen as well.

You can view the Copic markers that I’ve used on my creation below:

Boy’s Outfit – YG97, YG95, W5, W3, W1, E43, E40, / Shoes & buttons: E87, E84
Boy’s Hair – E47, E44, E42 / Skin: E21, E11, E02, E00, E000, R20, R00
Bird – E77, E74, E70, R20 / hat: YG97, YG95, W3, W1
Ladybugs – R29 and black pen
Bells on hats – Y28, Y26
Leaves – YR27, YR24, YR21, Y38, Y35
Acorns – E35, E33, E31
Tree Limb – E27, E25, E23
Pointillism and shading – E43, E41 and gold gel pen

Merry and Bright for Whimsy Stamps

Hello friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had another great weekend out with hubby, but this time we visited Starved Rock National Park. Really amazing nature hike we took and I’m wore out! I sure wish I was able to do more hiking than what we did, but what we did do was amazing. I will share some photos soon of our last two weekends out.

For today I have a sweet image from Whimsy Stamps to share with you and another Christmas card that I was able to add to my pile which is always nice to have!

Vicki-WSPolarBearXmasTree

This little guy is so sweet trying to decorate his poor “Charlie Brown” Christmas tree here! LOL!! This is another adorable Crissy Armstrong image called Polar Bear’s Christmas Tree.

I’ve cut out the image the whole length of the card front panel and layered it over a piece of black cardstock and then some red cardstock. I was placed over a piece of digital paper that I printed out from the Whimsy Stamps Rustic Wood and Brick Digital Paper Collection. I ran the edge of some scissors along the edges of it and then added some of the plaid ribbon along the left side. I then mounted this over a 5.25″ square top folding black card base.

I die cut some pine boughs from green cardstock and arranged and glued it down over the strip of plaid ribbon. I then added a plaid ribbon bow over top and then attached a black button with a twine bow in the center of that.

I’ve put a lot of detail into this image which is why I wanted this to be the main focus of the card. I actually didn’t use too many different colors of Copic markers, but it took a while to get the “fur” looking the way I wanted. (See list below.)

I started the scene by ink blending around the top edges and a bit around the sides with Weathered Wood distress ink. After the ink blending, I took the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Holiday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set and white heat embossed it over the top right edge of the image panel.

For finishing details, I took some yellow chalk for around the star at the top of the tree for a glow look and then covered the star with some gold Stickles. I brushed the red ornament with a glitter brush pen and then the “hook” was colored with a gel pen.

I covered the entire bottom of the image panel with a glue pen and then sprinkled on some clear glitter for the snow. Lastly I’ve added some red “berries” to the garland that the polar bear is holding with some Red Nuvo Drops.

Here’s the list of Copic markers that I’ve used to color in the image with:

Polar Bear – W9, W7, W5, W3, W1, W0, blender 0, R00 and white gel pen
Tree and Garland – E25, E23, YG67, YG63, YG61, R39, R37, R35
Snow Ground and Shadows – BG000

I love the “woodsy” look to this image and I was trying to capture it in my design too. I hope that you’ve enjoyed my Christmas card today and were inspired or helped bring you a smile!

It’s Halloween at Cute Card Thurday!

Hello friends! Has the weather been cooling down for you yet? We are supposed to get much cooler than normal over my way this weekend! Night time low around 36 degrees is a bit too chilly this time of year! I need Fall to last! 🙂

Today starts up a new challenge this week for Cute Card Thursday! The theme for this one is “Halloween“!! So if you still have some more Halloween cards or treat projects, etc that you need to make, please share it with us! We look forward to seeing what you make!

For my card, I thought it would be fun to use another Whimsy Stamps October digital stamp with a Halloween theme:

Vicki-CCT603-Witch Cinnamon-Oct10

This cute little witch is called Witch Cinnamon and I’ve used her in a little different way from the original version for my card.

First thing I did was take some black cardstock and used an embossing folder for the trees in the background. I took a white ink pad over it so the embossing stands out a bit better over it. I layered this onto a piece of purple cardstock and then added it over an A2 sized top folding black card base.

I took a circle die and cut it out with some yellow glitter cardstock which I then popped up with some black craft foam that I also cut out with a circle die. I took the bat die and also die cut some bats from black glitter card stock and attached them over the design along with the witch image that is “flying” in front of the moon. I black heat embossed (sparkly black EP) the sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp Frightful Fun set over purple card stock that I cut into a banner over the design. I then added a thin strip of green glitter card stock at the bottom of the card.

Vicki-CCT603-Witch Cinnamon-Oct10-dark

For this photo, I tried shutting the lights off so that you can see the “green dots” in the sky that glow in the dark! These are Nuvo Glow Drops Neon – Apple Sour that I added for the dots in the sky area. I’ve also taken a Stampin’ Up! punch from my stash and added some purple colored stars around the area too. If you compare this photo to the one above, you can see that with the light on, the drops are a bit more translucent. When the lights are dimmed, you can see the glow-in-the-dark effect!

I’ve zoomed in on how I’ve colored up this cutie for my card. She’s colored with Copic markers and colored pencils. If you take a look at the original image, you can see that I have decided to fussy cut out just the witch as I wanted her flying in front of a full bright glittery moon! She still looks pretty cool if you were to cut her out entirely with a circle die too! 🙂

I’ve used a colored pencil to create a nice little “moon glow” on one side of her and in some areas along the top of her where I thought the moon would be glowing some light on her.

I’ve also used a white gel pen for her checks and for highlighting on her stockings. I also used a silver gel pen to color in the buckle on her hat. Hard to see in the photo, but behind her broom, I took a glitter pen to add a bit of shimmer where she was flying.

World Card Making Day with Whimsy Stamps-Halloween Style!

Hello friends! Happy World Card Making Day! Woo hoo!! What a perfect day to celebrate for us card makers, right?! I’m so excited to celebrate a part of this special day with you using Whimsy Stamps products… especially in a Halloween style fashion!

World Cardmaking Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the art of handmade cards – whether made with construction paper and crayons or with more sophisticated supplies. As we crafters can all agree, a store-bought card, while nice, just can’t replace the personal and thoughtful nature of one made by hand.

Anything Goes for Cute Card Thursday!

Hello friends! And here we are almost the first week in October coming to a close! Wow, time goes so quickly I can’t keep up with it! LOL!

It’s Thursday and time for a brand new challenge over at the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog! The challenge for this week is our monthly “Anything Goes” theme with our sponsor Whimsy Stamps!

Vicki-CCT602-Oct3

Now how cute is this little Frankenstein girl?! She could be a trick-or-treater coming around the tree with her arms out trying to walk like a Frankenstein to scare you, but I’m giggling! 🙂 This digital cutie is called, of course, Frankie by CC Designs for Whimsy Stamps.

I wanted to create a spooky scene for her (you know, to help with her trying to be scary and all!) So I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and made a circle mask for the glowing moon and placed it where I wanted it go and began ink blending around it with some Carved Pumpkin distress ink. I then went over that a bit with some Twisted Citron and then worked my way with Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord and Black Soot for the bottom portion. I removed the mask and went over circle with some Squeezed Lemonade. I wanted lots of stars in the sky, so I first sprayed the background with water and picked up the colors, then I added some “dots” with a white gel pen. I know it won’t show up in the photos, but I sprayed the background with some shimmer spray which really makes the background so sparkly.

To finish the scene I took the Whimsy Stamps No-See All Seasons Tree die set and cut the tree out from the Whimsy stamps Rustic Wood and Brick digital papers and then sponged around the edges of it with some Black Soot distress ink. I also took the grass die from that set and cut out 3 pieces of it with black cardstock for the ground. I took the sentiment and spider image from the Simon Says Stamp Spook Up Some Fun stamp set and added it to the scene. I had an older Whimsy Stamps Halloween die cut set that I cut the bat from black cardstock and added to the scene too.

Here’s a closer look at the image and how I’ve colored it in. I tried to capture the sparkle in the background, but it just doesn’t show up like it does in person. You can see for the “streaks” in her hair that I’ve used a purple gel pen so it’s glittery. I’ve also used that same gel pen for the trim on her outfit. I used a silver gel pen for the “bolts” from her neck/face area. She was fussy cut out and attached to the scene. I took a glitter pen and went over her skirt too.

I’ve used Copic markers to color her in with and they’re listed below:

Frankie’s Hair and Shoes – C8, C7, C5, C3, C1
Frankie’s Skin – YG67, YG63, YG61
Frankie’s Outfit – V20, V17, V15, V12, YG11, C3, C1

Vicki-CCT602-Oct3-flat

Of course, I needed to make it even more spooky by adding some plastic spiders to the scene! And yeah…. if I see a real spider…you’d be hearing a very high-pitched scream coming from me!! LOL!! Not a fan…but pretend is just fine! Let’s just hope I don’t drop one on the floor and see it later and scream! LOL!

I hope you’ve enjoyed my spooky Halloween card today!

Whimsy Stamps New Release with 2 Christmas Tails

Hello friends! It’s October 1st which also means it’s time for a brand-new release for Whimsy Stamps…I’m back to share a card I’ve made for the brand-new digital release at Whimsy Stamps.

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card I’ve made using an adorable image:

Vicki-WS2XmasTails-Oct1

These adorable critters are having some festive fun! This image is by Crissy Armstrong called “2 Christmas Tails“.

This is an unusual size and card opening for me on this card, but I wanted to be sure that the image fit completely on the design I was creating.

So I started with a 4.5″ x 5.75” side folding white card base. I took a piece of red foil paper and clear heat embossed the snowflakes over it from the Whimsy Stamps Basic Christmas Backgrounds clear stamp set. I mounted this over a piece of gold foil paper, added the striped paper in the bottom corner, the oval cut image panel and tied a glitter ribbon around the layers and mounted it to the white card base.

I took the Whimsy Stamps Christmas Large Word die and cut it from some of the gold foil paper and layered it over top of the gold foil banner I created by black heat embossing the sentiment. I finished it off with some snowflake rhinestones above the critters.

Here’s a closer look at how I’ve colored in these adorable critters. The photos never show everything about the details of the card, but it’s so cool in person! 🙂

I’ve used Copic markers to color this in. Here are the colors that I’ve used:

Santa Hats & Candy Cane – R39, R37, R35, R32, BG000
Bunny – E35, E33, E31, E30, R20, R00, C3, C1, C0
Mouse – W7, W5, W3, W1, R20, R00
Bell – Y28, Y26, Y21, YG13, YG11
Ground/Shadows – E84, E81, C1, E0000

I used a white gel pen for highlights on the candy cane and parts of the bunny’s tail. I also covered the bell with a glitter brush pen. I took a glue pen and added some clear glitter over the hat trimmings. To get the blue faded color around the image, I used the oval die I cut it out with as a “mask” to blend some blue distress ink softly over it.

Sending Snail Mail Hugs

Hello friends! Yippee! It’s finally “officially” Fall now! (According to the calendar anyway.) We are very slowly starting to get lower temps at least in the evening time anyway. I’ve gotten out my Fall decorations and I’m ready! How about you?

Today I have a very sweet image from Whimsy Stamps to share with you:

Vicki-WSLoveSlowMuch-Sept24

Awe! I wouldn’t normally hug a snail, but I must say, this one is SUCH a cutie don’t you think? This digital image is called “Love You Slow Much” from Whimsy Stamps-Sylvia Zet’s Wee Stamps Collection which was previously released as a rubber cling stamp. So now you can have the option of choosing the digital or the rubber versions!

Of course, with Fall having started, I was really inspired to create with this cutie in some orange, yellow and tan toned colors! With the exception of that blue bow tie on the snail, I’ve colored it differently as I think that makes him really stand out especially for dispensing hugs…or perhaps receiving them! 🙂

I’ve cut out the image with a stitched circle die and then die cut another larger circle in the orange color to mat behind that. I’ve taken a piece of decorative paper from my stash with the wording and added some stitch marks along the edge of it with a black marker and then mounted it to a piece of white cardstock. I wrapped some white organdy ribbon around these two pieces and mounted it onto an orange 5″ square top folding card base.

I took another piece of orange cardstock and die cut a tag out from an older Whimsy Stamps die that I have and then I stamped the “hugs” sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set towards the bottom of the tag and added it to the bow on the ribbon. Lastly, I took some flowers and attached them around the card design.

Here’s a closer look at the coloring I’ve done on this image and used the following Copic markers:

Snail Body: W7, W5, W3, W1, R00
Snail Shell: E35, E33, E31, E30
Snail Bow Tie: B26, B24, B21
Fairy’s Dress, Hair Flowers, Shoes, Wings: YR07, YR04, YR02, BG000, C7, C5, C3
Fairy’s Hair & Skin: E47, E44, E42, E41, E21, E11, E02, E00, E000, R20
I used BG000 and E0000 for around image and shadows
I’ve also used a gold gel pen for the center of the flowers in her hair and over the tiny marks behind her wings. I’ve used a white gel pen for highlights in the Fairy’s cheeks as well as highlights on the snail’s shell. I took a glue pen over her wings and added some clear glitter over them.
I’ve also used a Copic marker (unsure of color) to color a rhinestone for the center of the orange flowers.

Super Girl Starla Flying By!

Hello friends! Happy Tuesday and I hope you’re having a wonderful week so far! I actually can’t believe that September is already flying through this quickly!

Speaking of “flying”, I have this really cute card to share with you using another Whimsy Stamps image:

Vicki-WSStarla-Sept17

This little digital cutie is called Starla from Whimsy Stamps. She has her arms out and so I thought it would be cute to have her appear as if she’s smiling while flying up through the clouds at us! I also thought this would be a really nice encouragement card for a child and I’ll be sending it out to hopefully share some smiles.

I stenciled some clouds in behind her, cut the image out with a stitched square die and layered a piece of purple cardstock behind her. I ran a piece of green colored cardstock through a star embossing folder, wrapped a silver ribbon around it and then attached it to a purple 5″ square top folding card base.

I die cut some stitched cloud borders for the bottom of the card design but sponged them with some Broken China Distress Ink before attaching them with foam tape. I also die cut some stars to add for accents on the design with both silver glitter stock and a piece of purple to paper piece in the center of one of the silver outline stars. I also added a rhinestone star to the center of the bow.

Here’s a closer look at Starla with the coloring I’ve done on her. I’ve colored her up with Copic markers and added some details with gel pens. I’ve also covered her headband with a glitter brush pen and also added some extra glitter over the stars at the top of her head band. You can also see where I’ve added some “strokes” to show that she’s zooming through the clouds. I also covered that area with a bit of shimmer with the glitter brush pen as well. The “little girl” in me had to color some purple!

Vicki-WSStarla-Sept17-flat

The sentiment at the bottom was stamped with a sentiment from my stash with some black ink.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and it’s brought you a smile or inspired you in some way! Thanks so much for stopping in! See you soon!

It’s Anything Goes for Cute Card Thursday!

Hello friends! Here we are with the first week of September already coming to the end! Wow! I think it may be time to start thinking about that “C” word! (Christmas of course!)

Today is a new challenge over at Cute Card Thursday today and we have our first of the month “Anything Goes” challenge this week! We our sponsored again by the lovely Whimsy Stamps, so be sure to enter for a chance to win a fun prize!

Here’s what I’ve made with our sponsor’s product:

Vicki-CCT598-WSPenMistletoe-Sept5

I’ve used this really sweet digital image from Whimsy Stamps called “Penguins Under the Mistletoe” and of course Crissy’s penguins are so fun to color up!

I have followed a sketch for my design using a challenge (see below) and have pulled out some older papers in my stash that I thought looked really festive and went with the colors I have picked out.

I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Holiday Mini Sentiments on the green colored layer and popped the image panel layered in red cardstock over top with some foam tape.

I’ve taken some silver glitter paper and die cut a few snowflakes from the Whimsy Stamps No-See All Season Tree die set along with cutting a strip for the top of the card too.

Here’s a closer view of the image so you can see how I’ve colored it up. I’ve used the following Copic colors below:

penguin bodies: C8, C7, C5, C3, C1, R20, R00, Y38, Y35, Y32
Santa Hat and Candy Cane: R39, R37, R35, R32, BG000
Mistletoe: YG67, YG61 (berries are red Nuvo Drops)
Hat and Scarf: BB26, B24, B21, BG000
Gift: G09, G07, Y17, Y15, Y11
I used BG000 for snow ground shadows

I went around the edges of the image panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and the ink foam blending tool. I ten took my quicky glue pen and added some dots for the snow as well as underneath the penguins and sprinkled on some glitter.
