Scary - Whimsy Stamps

Happy Halloween! Today is my last card for the 2025 Whimsy Stamps Halloweeners Design Team. I've had such a fun time making Halloween cards with some of the fabulous Whimsy Stamps products. Today's card can be made two ways, one simple version using just the Terrific Tickets Halloween Layering stencil with the Terrific Tickets dies, or one that adds a little more dimension with a couple of other Whimsy Stamps products. 

Here is the link to my process video.

 

I love all the detail in Frank's Face.

Having different colors for the small sentiments in the stamp is great! 

 The vellum from Cardstock Warehouse really help make the Scary word die stand out on the busy layered stencil background and it was very quick to fussy cut around the word die.

I covered up the stenciled bats with my large sentiment, but the jack-olantern still shows through.

 The half-pearl embellishments in the corners tie the whole card together with the browns and blacks.

The dark frame really brings out the details in the stenciled areas and adds some fantastic texture. 

Thank you so much for following along with me as I made with the Whimsy Stamps Halloweeners this season. 

Whimsy has some festive Christmas products being released and then they have amazing stamps, dies and papers for every occasion throughout the year. I plan to share some things I have made and will be making for the Christmas season as well as some non seasonal, everyday cards as well, so if you are a fan of Whimsy Stamps products, stay tuned! 

Happy Halloween, Tami

Let's Get Spooky - Whimsy Stamps

I still have Halloween inspiration to share!This was a quick card that focused on fussy cutting. I made it on Satruday October 25th for World Fussy Cutting Day in honor of Sharon Klima (who I did not know but who was a craft store owner and friend to many in the craft industry)  who passed away in Jan of 2025 from a heart attack, and to bring awareness to heart disease in women. Since I have faced heart issues the last few years, I wanted to participate and say that if you don't feel right, there is no shame in seeking out a cardiologist. I put it off for too long because I was afraid of having a cardiologist on my list of doctors. I should have been seen years before I finally met with one. You matter and your health is important, so if you don't feel well, please see a doctor. Any doctor. The world is a better place with you in it! 

Now on with the make! 

Here is my short video tutorial. 

I used the Gothic Glow paper and Let's Get Spooky stamps from Whimsy Stamps.

This little bat is so cute hanging upside down.

I stamped the moon image on the moon on the paper, and the sentiment is colored with Crushed Olive Distress Ink to match the Charteuse Cardstock Warehouse Cardbase.

The bats are popped up on foam squares.

This bat was placed to look like he is flying down the street in front of the houses. 

This bat is standing in the middle of the street with his wings positioned like Dracula holds his cape. I love it!

Now let’s go have a creative day! 😃

Trick Bad - Whimsy Stamps

Today I'm share a very short tutorial for this humorous card using Whimsy Stamps and Cardstock Warehouse Products.  

Here is the link to the short tutorial

 The sentiment banner is stamped on Cardstock Warehouse Onyx shimmery cardstock in Ranger Ink Fine detail white embossing powder. Then I outlined it with a messy line in white gel pen. The messy stiching at the top adds to the Halloween feel of the card. The sentiment and the Frankenstein's monster are from the Abby Normal stamp set from Whimsy Stamps.

 

The little bats I stamped on the Gothic Glow background are from the Halloween Bitty Banners. I thought they added just the right touch.

 My thought for this card was to try and have Frank, taking a selfie in the graveyard with the castle in the background. The tutorial shows how I did it, but I stamped two Franks and cut his arm out to make it look like he is talking the selfie. I did have to color in his hand under the phone so it allowed me to move his arm out just a smidge. 

I put a piece of acetate behind the phone as the screen and then inked the edges with Distress Archival Black Soot. 

The phone is popped up on foam strips and could even be a shaket element if desired. 

The phone is also cut from Cardstock Warehouse Onyx shimmery cardstock. I did some messy outlining of the phone with white gel pen. The button and strip at the top are Cardstock Warehouse Quartz shimmery cardstock. I also put a panel of the quartz inside the card and stamped the Happy Halloween from the Abby Normal set. 

That's pretty much it for this very simple card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a creative day,

Tami

Peekaboo - Whimsy Stamps

 I'm back with another Digital Stamp card for the Whimsy Stamps Halloweeners Design Team. These digital stamps can be downloaded from the Whimsy Stamps website and printed on cardstock to color for a card.

Here is a short process video for making this card. It's less than 10 minutes and I hope you find it helpful.

The outer frame is cut from the Weird O Frame Die. I resized the jar image several times so that I had eyeballs in different sizes to fit the little circles on the frame and then I fussy cut them out.

 

The jar has sting drawn on it for the tag, but I wanted to tie a real tag onto it, so I glued Trendy Twine Spooktacular twine over the lines and then tied it.

I printed a second jar of eyeballs and cut the tag out. The sentiment is from Giraffe's Peeking Clear Stamps and I added an extra eyeball onto the tag. 

I colored the image with Distress Watercolor Pencils. 

 The background paper is Retro Vibes Slimline Paper and the card base and frame are cut from Cardstock Warehouse paper in Amethyst and Rust. 

 

Another fairly quick and easy card thanks to the wonderful products from Whimsy Stamps. 

 

Wishing you a creative day! 😃

Scary and I Gnome It

 I'm back with a really quick and easy card for the Whimsy Stamps Halloweeners Design Team today. 

This might be one of the shortest videos I've ever done. Part of it was because my camera kept quitting as my memory was full, but mainly it's just that when you have great products like Whimsy does that coordinate so well, it makes for fun, quick crafting. 

I stamped the little Frankenstein Gnome on Mixed Media Heavystock and colored it with Distress Watercolor Pencils. 

The GnomeOween stamps come with coordinating dies for all three gnomes, the bats and the sentiments. But I didn't have the dies so I just fussy cut them all. 

The background paper is from the Haunted Houses 6x6 Paper Pack. 

Over it is the Enchanted Forest die that I cut from Cardstock Warehouse Onyx paper. It has a little shimmer to it.  I finished it off by tying a bit of twine around the top that is from Trendy Twine. 

See? Super Quick and fun to make!

I have a list of the products I used below with links and I greatly appreciate whenever you choose to shop through my links. Thank you! Also, if you shop on the Whimsy site, don't forget my code playswellwithpaper for 10% off.

Halloween Screams Boo Bus -Whimsy Stamps

This card from last year for Whimsy Stamps and it still makes me smile! It was inspired by Monsters University and is a different take on a card I made a few years ago with some monsters and a truck. These Monsters and the bus all have dies, so that makes it nice!

Then there are these cuties with all theri teefs

I mean, these monsters are way too cute to scare! 

This guy looks like hes late and trying to get the bus to wait so he can get on.

Oh my, and this little one is way too adorable to spook anyone. It's like the little sibling monster wayving good bye to his monster siblings.
 

Thank you again for following along and I wish you a most creative day!

A Murderous Birthday - Whimsy Stamps

 I made this card using the Attempted Murder Clear Stamps from Whimsy Stamps. I made the shiny flames with Distress Mica Crayons and Distress Mica Stains. The colors are linked below. This was a quick card I made to celebrate Whimsy Stamps Creative Director Deb Davis's birthday. Since she loves Halloween and designed not only this tamps set but many others in the Whimsy product line, I made a Halloween Birthday card. Happy Birthday Deb!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial!
