Big Balloon Celebrations

Hi Whimsy fans. It's my turn to post on the blog today and I have a fun birthday card to share with you. I absolutely love the Big Balloon Celebrations stamp set and use it for my card today. 

I started by stamping several of the balloons in varying colors of inks. I love that they overlap each other, mimicking the look of real balloons and the transparency that they have.

I then stamped the sentiment, which is from the same stamp set. I popped this panel up on some foam tape and added some black and white striped paper to the side for added interest.

I hope you've enjoyed this card today. Crafty hugs!

I Compel You....

Hello Whimsy Friends, it's Iris here today. I have some more from the new release to share.  Dracula I compel you is the name of the Stamp set I feature on my card today. I love this little guy and who can resist those eyes?

To make the star shaker I used the Pierced Stars Die Set. I cut out a star frame from double sided tape using two of the star dies (the second and the third largest). I used the same two dies to cut out a matching frame from designer paper. The larger of the two star dies was used to die cut a star shape from an acetate sheet. I then adhered one side of the star frame to my card stock. Filled it with sequins, stars etc., and attached the acetate star shape. Using Rangers Multi Medium Matte I glued the designer paper star frame on top of the acetate sheet.
I then stamped the Dracula image and cut it out with the matching die from the Dracula I Compel You Die Set.

I colored the little Dracula with Copics. The sentiment is part of the Dracula I compel you stamp set The word die 'Sparkle' as well as the cute little bats are all included in the Dracula I Compel You Die Set.

Product Spotlight with Special Guest Barbara

Hello Friends!

Today we are excited to bring you another fabulous card by special guest Barbara Anders. This time she has used our Lovely Lavender clear stamp set and created this stunning watercolor creation!

To create this card, Barbara started by watercoloring on a piece of watercolor paper and then once dry, she cut the oval frame with some dies. She stamped the images and sentiments with waterproof ink and popped the "framed" piece up with foam tape to give some dimension. Final touches are some sequins randomly placed around the card.

Be sure to visit Barbara's blog, Paper Pursuits, to see more of her gorgeous work! Huge thanks to Barbara for joining us as a special guest this month!
