Tuesday Tutorial with Cathy

 

 Oh, hi! Cathy here and I'm super excited about the new Slimline Cloud Die from the new March Release. The minute I saw it, I knew that I had to have rainbow clouds, and what goes better with rainbow clouds than super sweet unicorns?

I started out by cutting a piece of white card stock to 3.75" x 8.5" and then I did some ink blending with a rainbow of colors. I did want the clouds to be more pastel, so I used pink, peach, yellow, mint green, and a light aqua ink to do my blending.

After I was done with the ink blending, I ran that panel through my die-cutting machine with the fabulous Slimline Cloud Die. I also die cut a few clouds using the smaller dies that come with the Slimline Cloud Die from white card stock.

Next, I used a glitter pen to add a whole bunch of shimmer to the die-cut frame and clouds. I adhered the small white clouds to the back side of the slimline die-cut and then adhered that to a light blue card base that measures 3.5" x 8.5".

I stamped the super sweet unicorns from the Unicorn Wishes stamp set onto super smooth card stock and did some very simple coloring with my Copic markers. I cut out each of the unicorns and adhered them on the front of the card. To finish it up, I had to add even more sparkle, so I used my glitter pen on their horns and wings and Viola! All done!

Thanks for visiting today!

Copics used: R83, R81, Y26, Y28, BG11, BG10, BG0000, C3, C1, C7, BV25, BV23

Tuesday Tutorial With Michelle

 Hello there! Michelle here today, sharing a couple of quick cards using 

Whimsy's newest Slimline Paper Pack, Frozen.

If you are like me, coloring your own background is very intimidating! The new Slimline Papers are the best thing ever!!!

There are several different scenes in a pack and they coordinate very well with so many Whimsy Stamps.

I chose Bearing Gifts, Frosty Wishes and Fairy Sweet stamps. 

I colored the images up with Copic Markers.

Polar Bears and Seal: YR30, E50, E51, C3, C6, C9.

Penguin: C1, C3, C6, C9, YR02, YR04, YR07, YR30, BG000 .

Fairy: BV0000, BV00, BV01, B63, B66, BG11, BG13, BG34, 

C1, C3, C6, C9, E000, E00, E11, RV00, RV02.

I wanted to add my own spin to the papers so I used the stencil Twinkle Cluster, and added some snowflakes to the fairy scene and glistening accents to the polar bear scene. I used distress oxide inks in shaded lilac and salty ocean.

I adhered the images to their scenes with foam tape. 

I added Stickles clear glitter glue to the ice caps, tree and snow field, and all images.

I embossed the sentiments with white embossing powder.

I added some Sparkletz, All is Calm gems.

Thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Supplies Used:

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 19

A haunting we will go, a haunting we will go, hi ho the merry-o, a haunting we will go!

Is everyone having fun and enjoying all the 31 Nights of Halloween festivities?! It looks like these monsters are on their way to party with us!

This Monster Parade of characters just cracks me up and this die set is definitely on my all-time favs list for sure. There's one other creature (a wolf) in the Monster Parade die set that isn't seen on this card but all the other monsters are accounted for and ready to go a-haunting :)!

To start off I used the Slimline Pillows die and cut that out from white card stock. I also cut a white rectangle slightly smaller than the die frame and sponged green and purple ink on to it.

When sponging on the distress inks (twisted citron, and wilted violet), I wasn't careful at all because I wanted some green and some purple to show in each of the openings.

I die cut all of the Monster Parade characters (except for the wolf), from black card stock, and put lime green cardstock behind all of their eye and mouth openings.

I stamped the Spirited Sentiments with black ink, and just used my scissors to cut the V on the end.

Once I had all of my pieces completed I assembled everything onto a black slimline card base and arranged the monsters the way I wanted them.

 The Monster Parade die set is so much fun and goes perfectly with the Slimline Pillows die, but it can work on it's own, or with any number of other Whimsy Stamps products too. 

Happy Hauntings my little monsters - Mwaaahaaahaha!

Be sure to check back every night this month at 6pm ET for more 31 Nights of Halloween FUN!

31 Nights of Halloween- Night 13

 

Hey there!  Katie here today with lucky #13 for the 31 day countdown to Halloween. Here is my card for today: 

For my card, I started by stamping Going Batty stamps on Copic friendly paper.  I colored them and cut them out and set them aside.  Next, I die cut the Slimline Stars die in black and mounted it on a bright green paper.  I had a basic circle in white and I used Persimmon and Mustard Distress to create a moon.  In front of that I added clouds from the Up in the Clouds Die set that I added Soot Distress too.  Next, I added in the bits of sentiment and popped up my colored images using foam tape.  Pretty easy peasy. 

I love these cut images and this fun scene.  Anything slimline is just fun too!  Here are a few different close up shots for you. 

Well I hope you like it and thank you for visiting.  Before you go, did you know there are prizes being offered up for this event?  Yep...
