Merry - Tim Holtz Holiday Classics

 I had some fun creating with the Tim Holtz Classic Holiday release. Tim and Sizzix have brought back some beloved classic holiday dies and I couldn't be happier. There were several that I didn't have in my collection and I was beyond pleased to get them. Others I have create with before and enjoyed looking at them a little differently this time, and that included this handsome, confident moose!

I began by embozzing a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock that had been sprayed with water and a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Stain, then embossed it with the Large 3D Kaleidoscope Texture Fade. I used the debossed or back side as I thought they looked kinds of like icy crystal shapes. 

 

The drops are called Metallic Droplets and were part of the Idea-ology Halloween line a few times.  

Look at that tree. It's such a great tree! I do messy stitching on my machine and I love the texture it adds.

t

 Look at how stately that moose is! I just love his jaunty air!

 

The metallic stamped background is a technique I have done many times over the years. You can see a tutorial here:  Special Delivery and see the one I used on this card that I made back in 2018 Dapper Gents.

 

I kept the sentimentsimple cutting the word Merry from the Merry and Bright die set, out of Distress Black Heavystock.

 The back side of Kaleidoscope is just a scool as the front!

 

Behind the stamped piece I added some woodgrain paper I had from an older Idea-ology Christmas release. You just need a little bit. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! I hope you found something to inspire an idea for your own projects.

I'm wishing you a very creative day!

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.

You're What Legends are Made of - Whimsy Stamps

Today I'm sharing another card made with a Whimsy stamps Digital Stamp. I'm really enjoying making with these! Today I shared the Digital Stamp called Pumpkin Pile with Whimsy's Treasure Map die, Haunted Houses Paper and Sleepy Hollow Stamp Set. This was another fun, quick card to make. 

Here is the short video tutorial on this card. I hope you enjoy it! 

I stamped and embossed the sentiments in Black Super Fine Detail Embossing Powder on heavy vellum from Cardstock Warehouse. Then I ran them through a Xyron and hand-cut a mat around them.

Look at these pumokins. They're so funny!

The Pumpkin Pile covered up the Haunted House really well. so the perspective of the background in the paper, works really well. The background was cut with the Treasure Map die and backed with an olive green cardstock mat.

The second sentiment was made the same as the first, and before I attached the background I tied some orange and black trendy twine around the bottom.

All the Whimsy products are linked below. Thanks so much for dropping by to check out this card.

Have a creative day, 

Tami

Get Fired Up for Halloween - Whimsy Stamps

Get fired up for Halloween! This cute little Halloween card features one of the Whimsy Stamps digital stamp images. That's right. Alongside of their dies, stamps and papers, Whimsy also has a large library of digital stamps available to purchase and download. It's very simple to do. My first card using the digital stamps with Whimsy dies, and paper, also includes a few additional supplies including the card base from Cardstock Warehouse, and some twine from Trendy Twine. 

Here is the quick tutorial showing how I paired this digital image with other products. 

I used this Drippy Frame to kind of be like drippy wax around the drippy candle. You know I love drippy candles in any form!

The sentiment is from a stamp set I will be using again soon called Candle Creeps.

This little match in the bat's paw is also from the Candle Creeps stamp set.

I did make the match and the flame shimmer a little bit with a Wink of Stella pen.

I finished the card by popping up the framed piece on the Cardstock Warehouse purple card base, I also tied some purple Trendy Twine around the front panel.

I just love how easily the digital stamp paired with the other Whimsy Supplies. That was a lot of fun! I have three more digital cards to share this month. 

Now let’s go have a creative day! 😃

My project for today is an Etcetera Mini Tombstone with the Sketch Manor Stamps from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous, and Coordinating Dies from Simon Says Stamp. I wanted to try and light up the manor, so I made a video tutorial showing how I made this project. 

Here is the video link. I hope you enjoy it, but be sure to come back here to get to the next stop on the blog hop.  

I stamped the images on Mixed Media Heavystock and attached that to the top and main portion of the Mini Etcetera Tombstone. 

I love having part of the imagery in the top section as it makes it seem like the scene extends up tot the top of the tomb. 

If you look closely you can see the Crypt Grit Paste adds such a cool corroded stone texture as well as bits of moss if you add some Peeled Paint Distress Crayon. 

Simon Says Stamp has a fabulous Assembly Guide on their website to help with not only how to cut the parts out, but also how to assemble it. You can download it here. 

You have two options with the die layers for the Manor. You can do like I did, and attach them directly on top of the layer below. This still adds agreat dimension! Or you can put foam squares and strips between some or all of the layers to add even more dimension. Either way, you can't go wrong with this die set!

To light up the the windows, you simply need to cut the darkened panes out of the center window frames and the doors from the first layer, and back with vellum. Then add the rest of the layers as shown in the assembly guide or in my video tutorial. 

The Beware! sentiment is from another Stampers Anonymous set called Mr Bones CMS345

Thank you so much for sticking through to the very end of the tutorial! I hope you found something inspiring in this make. 

If you would like any of the products from this make, they are listed below. 

Have a creative day!
