31 Nights of Halloween - Night 21 - Special Guest Rachel Alvarado

Good evening, Whimsy friends!  Tonight we welcome the lovely and talented Rachel Alvarado back to the blog!

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to night 21 of the Whimsy Stamps Annual 31 Nights of Halloween! I'm Rachel and I'm so happy to be guest designing tonight. I created a non-spooky, Halloween-themed box card tonight featuring some of the cute little candy corn critters from the "Candy Corn Dress Up Stamp Set". These fun little images are all decked out for a night of trick or treating!

To start my card, I first stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I then used Copic Markers to color them and used my Brother ScanNCut to quickly cut them out. Next, I used a paper trimmer to cut some black card stock and make a box card base with the help of a scoring board as well as some adhesive. I added some grassy strips into the center of my box card by diecutting some black card stock with the grass dies from the Grass and Cloud Edger Die Set.

Copic Colors Used:

• Oranges: YR00, YR02, YR04, YR09, YR19
• Whites: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W5, W7, W9
• Grays: W2, W4, W6
• Purple: V01, V15, V17, V09
• Yellows: Y13, YR20, YR21, V12

For my ink blended pieces, I blended a mix of Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, and Black Ink Distress Inks. Lastly, I adhered my images with some liquid adhesive as well as some trees that I had die cut using the Tree Assortment Die Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you liked this card and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed!

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 25

Good Evening Whimsy Friends - Iris here today with another frightful post for our 31 Nights of Halloween Celebrations! 

There are LOTS of boo-tiful prizes to win. Please click the banner above to enter the giveaway!

 

Now onto my spooky birthday card I've created especially for this frightfully fun event:

I am using some older and newer products on my card but the main focus is on 'Dracula I compel you' together with 'Dracula's Coffin' die set. For the background I cut out a window from a 4" x 5 1/4" white cardstock panel using the 'Wavy Stitched Squares' die set. Then I added a piece of designer paper from the 'Vampire' 6x6 paper pack. I adhered this panel to a red 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.

I stamped the Dracula image with Versafine Clair ink onto mixed media paper, colored it using my Karin markers and fussy cut it. Then I die cut the tombstones from the  'Dracula's Coffin' die set from scrap pieces of the same Vampire 6x6 paper pack. The trees are die cut from black glitter paper using the 'Tree Assortment' dies. The bats are created with dies from both the 'Dracula I compel you' and
'Dracula's Coffin' die set and cut from black cardstock. The scull was die cut from white cardstock and slightly inked with Antique Linen  Distress ink. The sentiment is included with the 'Dracula I compel you' clear stamp set. The RIP sign is from the 'Build-A-Graveyard' die set. 
I arranged my items the way I wanted them on my background panel and then adhered them with liquid glue and foam tape/squares. At last I added tiny red rhinestones to Dracula's eyes and also eyes to some of the bats with a white gel pen. 

I wanted the inside to have a matching sentiment too and stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and embellished with a few stamped bats. All stamps I used on the inside are included with the 'Dracula I compel you' clear stamp set as well.

All Whimsy products I've used to create my project are listed and linked below.

31 Nights of Halloween- Night 12

 

Hello there! Michelle here for the 12th Night of Halloween Extravaganza, Whimsy-Style!!! 

In celebration of our annual 31 Nights of Halloween event, we will be giving away $300 in Whimsy Stamps gift cards throughout the month of October! 

Check out the first post for all challenge details.

Today I am sharing one of my favorite Whimsy Stamps Set, Going Batty!! These bat images just crack me up!! They look goofy, like me, after I've had some homemade Limoncello😜😏

I stamped the bats with Memento black ink on X-Press Blending Paper and colored them with Copic Markers. For the teal bat I used shades BG11, BG13, BG18 and BG78. For the green bat I used shades YG21, YG25, YG17 and YG97. For the purple bat I used shades V12, V15, V17 and BV08. For their eyes and mouth I used shades C1, C3, C6, C8, C10. 

I fussy cut the bats and added some white gel accents.

Next, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth Cardstock slightly smaller than an A2 card base. I masked off a crescent shape for the moon and inked up the background with distress oxide inks in shades tumbled glass, peacock feathers, blueprint sketch and black soot. I colored the moon with Copic Markers in shades N0, N1, N2, N3.

I created the cemetery scene using some of the most fun dies, Tree Assortment Die Set and Build A Graveyard Die Set. The tree, gates, tombstones, skulls and tiny bats were cut with X-Press Blending Paper and colored with Copic Markers. I used shades C2, C4, C6, C8, C10. I used the stamp set Grave Epitaphs  and embossed the tombstones. I also embossed the sentiment, 'Happy Halloween'. 

I added a few finishing touches, stickles clear glitter glue for shimmer and iridescent gems. 

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

Check back with us again tomorrow night @6pm, EST for more inspiration!
