Snow Couple

Hi, Ute here...

Today I want share a wonderful image... two lovely snowmen...  

At first I cut out my card base 11x4 Inch, after than I scored at 5,5 Inch. Now I made a fast watercolor background with a light blue. I decide me, to made a circle with Hologram paper. I colored my snowmen with my Inktense Pencils from Derwent. For the snow effect I use glossy accent and a white puff embossing powder... It works really good... I haven't no glue where is my snow marker... 

At last I found a sentiment who will fit and finished my card.

I wish you all a wonderful, peaceful and lovely Christmas. 

Hugs Ute

Hope you like this inspiration.

Thanks so much for visit the blog and for your lovely comment.

Kitty'n Pumpkin

Hello... 

What for an inspiration month... especially for Halloween, every day you can found an extra entry, fulfilled with prizes, projects and a lot of fun... 

My idea was to show on of the image, which will be fit to this theme.. and found this wonderful kitty...  

(Kitty 'n Pumpkin Rubber Cling Stamp)

So I made this card and hope you like it. 

How I made this card? I stamped the image on the paper. Than I mask it, because I made a Distressed Oxide background with different colors. After than I colored the image with my ZIG Clean Color real brushes and a few details with my Prismapencils. In the sky I like to see stars... so I use a white Gouache.  At last I search a sentiment. I haven't a lot of Halloween stamps at home, so I think there will be sentiments where fit perfectly... Why not this one?

I wish you all a great crafty month with a lot of inspirations... 

See you to the next month, with a new idea from me.

Happy Crafting :)

Hugs Ute DT 

Christmas Mermaid

What for a great New Release this month. This time I use the digital stamp from Crissy, called Christmas Mermaid. 

Do you know Kit and Clowder? There you can learn a lot of techniques for coloring. I learned a much. 

This month theme is underwater world.  I fall in love with this theme. Look at this wonderful scene. Instead of the turtle I try it with the  Christmas Mermaid from Whimsy stamps. I think this will be a perfect combination.

I used the pencil course and my Prismacolor Pencils to made this picture. I will frame it and bring it to my wall in my craft room.

This was my inspiration for this monthly post. Hope you like it :)

Thanks for visit the blog and see you soon.

Hugs Ute

Western Highland Terrier

A warm welcome to the blog from Whimsy Stamps, Ute here. Today I will show you a CAS card with the Western Highland Terrier digital stampdesigned by Crissy Armstrong.

How I made this card?

I printed the image on alcohol Marker friendly paper and color the dog. Mostly I pick the colors like my choice... After coloring I use Prisma Pencils to bring more deep into the image, also strokes/ dots with a white gel pen. As I finished the coloring a cut out the image with my scissor. As card base I use an standard A2 card. I use a die cut for embossing the background, also scrap papers and and sentiment who fits perfectly.pop up the Terrier with foam tape and finished the card with embellishment.

Tipps and Tricks

You can use die cuts from every company for embossing with your die cut machine. It makes wonderful effects...

Mazarine the Fairy

A warm welcome to the blog from Whimsy Stamps, Ute here. Today I will show you a rainbow color card with the amazing Mazarine Fairy stamp from the monthly New Release.

What is the idea behind the card?

I love colorful cards and one of my favorite colors are the rainbow one :) Do you played with the Distress inks from Tim Holtz? Oh, what a fun... Try it out, please... and you will play a lot with them... You do not need a lot for a rainbow color... I think I made one with only three colors, because the blend fantastic... and made new colors...

How I made this card?

I stamped the image with a watercolor ink, because this time I work with my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush and add later a few Prismapencils. I use a A2 format card for my card base and use the Distress ink directly on the card base, also I splatter my card with the ink.... So it is really messy... After drying I secure the color with Distress Glaze... It is a great tool, like a cream and you put it directly to the image/ background... It secure it, if come water again to the picture, don't happened... and it don't smear... I searched an sentiment for this wonderful lady... and found one from W Plus 9 (Curious Forest Friends), which I hot embossed with a silver glitter powder from Hero Arts. 

Tipps and Tricks

You can use distress backgrounds to many occasions and it looks really great. If you play with Distress Ink, it will be great if you have a paper towel for hold the card, so you haven't fingerprints on the project... 

Don't forget...

Our next Challenge will open on the June15th... I can't wait to see your idea...

Feliz Cumpleaños! ... Llama Birthday :)

A warm welcome to the blog from Whimsy Stamps, Ute here. This time I made a funny birthday card, maybe for my Spanish speaking friends...

What is the idea behind the card?

I made this card, because I love the Lama stamp set... Looks amazing... Why not made a birthday card with a Spanish sentiment?

How I made this card?

First I stamped the image with a Copicfriendly ink. After than I color this cute critter with Alcoholmarker and Prismacolor Premium Pencils. I use a black card base A2 format and cut a smaller white cardstock, because I want to made a background, who will fit...The background was made with different stencils and dry embossing. I also use my pencils to bring a little accent into the picture. I cut out the Lama and glue it to the card. For my sentiment I use an Spanish stamp, mean the same like happy birthday...

Tipps and Tricks

You can use distress backgrounds to many occasions and it looks really great. If you haven't the right stencils? You can made DIY. I use a laminated foil to made my own pattern...

Coffee Friend

I am very pleased, that I have the opportunity to show my cards here.  

Today I show a card for all Coffee Friends :) I am Ute and I show you this inspiration:

How I made this card?

I work with Pixelmator to cut the Digital Stamps, because I will only work with the word FRIEND. After the cut, I copy past the word in my program Pages. I adjust the sentiment on the page... I will work with a regular stamp set and use the coffee theme. I need also a second sentiment, but I haven't one how fit. So I write Coffee in a font, that I like. After finish I print the paper out with my Laserprinter. Now I cut the card in 4x11Inch and score it by 5.5 Inch. I foil the sentiment with a foil from my stuff. After than I stamp one cup, masking and stamp the second too. Now I color the cups with my Prismacolor pencils.  I like to have a face in the cups and use a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp for the smilie. At least I use a strip of paper on my card. 

Which Whimsy products I used?

I used the wonderful Sentiment "Say it big"  and I also use an older stamp set "Coffee Break" for my card.
