31 Nights of Halloween - Night 24 - Special Guest Kelly Wauters

 

Good evening, Whimsy friends!  

Tonight we welcome Kelly Wauters back to the blog for some fun inspiration.

Hi Whimsy fans

It's me again, Kelly W, with a second card for the 31 nights of Halloween. Halloween is right up the corner. Are you guys as excited as I am? 

This second card turned out so cool if you ask me! 

First I stamped Zombie Boy ,colored him with Copic Markers and I added his crazy eyes.

I always start with the main feature first, because I always make the colors from the main return in the background.

Then I created the background using texture paste and a bubble stencil. I painted that with green acrylic paint, and sprayed metallic paint over it to give it a cool shine.

I used the Atlas Mason Jar Die Set to create the Mason Jar and I filled it with some printed Brains. And overlapped it with Vellum paper for the glass effect.

Then I glued the Jar on the card, the Zombie on the Jar, the sentiments on the Zombie and Jar, and Zombie Boy comes to life. 

I really hope you guys love this card as much as I do, and I really hope I could inspire you.

Being a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps is a dream that came true, and I really enjoyed making these Halloween cards. 

Happy Halloween and stay creepy!

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 18 - Special Guest Vyvie Nguyen

 

Good evening, Whimsy friends!

Tonight we welcome the lovely Vyvie Nguyen to the blog!

Vyvie created a fun, brain-shaped shaker card featuring the adorable Zombie Boy stamp set.  

She found a brain clipart image and cut it out with her Cricut.  Next, she stamped the word "brains" repeatedly to create a colorful background.  She added sequins and used her Fuse tool to seal the shaker.

She stamped one of the Zombie Boy images and colored and fussy-cut it.  She also stamped a sentiment from Zombie Boy and added it and the colored image with dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for the adorable inspiration, Vyvie!

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 6 - Special Guest Toni Maddox

 

Hello, Whimsy friends! Today we welcome back the amazing Toni Maddox to the blog!

Hi, everyone!  How could I say no to guesting for the Whimsy Annual 31 Nights of Halloween event?  Whimy Halloween products are among my absolute favs!

I decided to use the "failed" background from my Halloween Caveman Zog post. I thought it turned out too dark plus my cat spilled water on part of it (thanks, cat--argh!) but it's perfect for a graveyard scene. 

I had sponged the card front with Distress Oxide Distress Oxide Vintage Photo, Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, and Mustard Seed. I then stamped the Goth Skulls randomly on the background using Candied Apple and Salvaged Patina. To use the background for this card, I stamped the WTF?! Background Stamp with Versafine Onyx Black.

Once I had the background done, I started on building the scene using the Build a Graveyard and Spiders & Webs dies. I printed the "Rest In Pieces" sentiment and airbrushed both the gravestone and Ranger Grit Paste graveyard dirt with my Copic Airbrush.

I added the fence, bats, hissing cat and skull from the Build a Graveyard set so my little Zombie Boy would have the perfect backdrop to tell us about his mother. LOL.  I used the sentiment from the Cute But Psycho set cut out with a Comic Speech Bubble, distressing the latter with a bit of Distress Oxide Black Soot remaining on my brush.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great rest of your week!  If you'd like to check out my other creations, you can visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft, my Instagram, or my Pinterest Board.

Thank you, Toni, for this fun inspiration!

31 Nights of Halloween - Night 20

Woo hoo!  This is my favorite Whimsy event of the year.  Halloween?  Yes, please! 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 the link above for full details on how to win.

For my card, I'm mixing up some new products with my favorite Halloween set, Zombie Boy. These are so cute, especially when you add googly eyes!

I placed him on top of a graveyard scene created using Haunted 6x6 Paper and diecuts from the Build a Graveyard and Dracula Going Batty die sets.

The Halloween Scream sentiment is stamped on a Comic Speech Bubbles Die that I cut down to size.

I colored him up with Copics and added white pigment pen highlights.  Such a fun scene!
