Teen Idol

Hello Heidy here,and today is my turn to share a Whimsy creation with you.
I'm so exceited,because it's the first time here for me!

I used this cool fellow Teen Idol from Kenny K

Number cutout with the "Cricut"
Copics.

To My True Love

Hi Everyone!  Niki here.  It’s my turn to post over here on the Whimsy Inspirations Blog.  I thought I would share a card I made recently that is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, or any time you want to tell someone you love them. :)

I had to use the adorable Heart Hugs image designed by Crissy Armstrong.  I always love Crissy's adorable images!  I stamped the image with tuxedo black memento ink.  Then, I colored the image with these copic markers: R83, R85, R89, R27, R46, T1, T3, E31, E33, E35, E37, E59, colorless blender.  I used some patterned papers from the Lost & Found: Blush paper pad from My Mind's Eye.


I also used the Double Scalloped Border die  and the sentiment is from the Love Letter Seals stamp set.  I finished the card off with some stitching, a red button, and some baker's twine.
Have a great day!
Niki

Fluffy on a lily

Hi there Whimsy fans, stephanne here!!

Just wanted to pop by and share a project I made recently with some of my Whimsy treasures!! It's a planner that I gave a make-over, something pretty to write down my stamping affairs in.


So I started out by painting the adorable Fluffy On A Lily stamp designed by Sylvia Zet and produced by Whimsy Stamps with distress inks, of course, and picking out some chipper papers and punches to lay on top of my planner. I've used several of the dies from our Whimsy Shapeology Collection along with lots of frilly flowers and stamen!! Fluffy doesn't seem to mind being lost in flowers and doilies....

Bring on Spring!!!

hugs, stephanne

Happy Exciting News!!!

Hello Whimsy Friends!

How are you all doing? We hope January has been good to you all and that you are recovered from the festivities of the holidays. We wanted to share some fun news with you today - something exciting is happening at Whimsy. The very talented and super sweet Elisabeth Bell has joined our team of artists!

Some of you may know this already, but Elisabeth and Whimsy teamed up back in 2008 when we commissioned Elisabeth to create the image you see in the Whimsy Stamps logo! The logo represents our children and Elisabeth was able to capture perfectly, the exact design we had in our imagination. We had so much fun working with her then and we know the this year is going to be an awesome adventure too! We are very honored to have Elisabeth joining us and we can't wait for you to see her adorable new images!

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for some sneak peeks at the debut release. Elisabeth's debut release will be available in early March!And if you want to check out more of Elisabeth's work, you can visit her site www.elisabethbell.com.

Have a great Tuesday! See you all tomorrow for our monthly release!!

Love is in the air....

Hello Whimsy Fans it's Iris here and today it's my turn to share some Whimsy inspiration with you! Love is in the air.... Valentine is just a round the corner! Have you started making some Valentines creations yet?

Here is a book card I made with the new Wee image 'Spring Bringer'. Such a cute and versatile image. Perfect for birthdays, Valentine's, anniversaries etc. I also used Ann's  'Love Letter Seals' and 'Everyday Circle Postmarks' as well as the Counry Heart and the Elegant Butterflies Die Set from Whimsy's Shapeology collection.

This is how the inside looks:

You'll find a tutorial on how to make a Book-Card in the newest issue of the Whimsy Inspirational Magazine,  just - click here -  to go there now.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Deep rich colors on candles!

Several followers have requested information as to how I get the colors to stay rich and vibrant on my candles.  Stamp with Stazon Ink onto tissue paper, I color skin tones and basic colors with Copics, however, afterwards I dry brush some of the desired edges and corners of the image with Ranger Distress Ink onto the tissue paper.  


When the copics alone were used I found that the colors when melting with the hot air tool, they turn out very light and get diluted into the candle.  With the Distress ink, the color lays more on the top of the paper and stays strong where you want it.

On the 16 of November Whimsy Stamps  released fabulous new rubber stamps and dies.  I have been showcasing these awesome new goodies, along with the rest of the fabulous DT and special guests.  These candles are perfectly simple and make a delightful gift too!

If you have made something using one of the new release stamps and/or dies, please send Whimsy a link as we would love to see your creation!
