Monochromatic Fall Card

I'm sure most of my blog readers know by now that I recently subscribed to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit.  Today I am pairing the kit with some old and retired stamps.. I love to mix old and new products!

              Hero Arts MMH September Kit  // Distress Ink: Tea Dye // Memento Tuxedo Ink // 

                    Ranger Ink Applicator Kit // May Arts Jute Twine // Neenah Card Stock 

       (Retired Products: Whimsy Stamps Background and Borders, Stampin Up Looks Like Spring)

I created an inky background withTea Dye distress ink (wiped and patted the card stock over an ink puddle on my craft mat). Then I stamped the small branch (part of the Hero Arts MMH September Kit),  argyle type stamp (retired from Stampin Up) and the script stamp (retired from Whimsy Stamps) onto the inked background. The maple leaf branch was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink on white Neenah, cut out with the matching die from the kit and then inked with the same distress ink. It was then adhered onto the background with glue dots. A button and some May Arts Jute Twine finish off the card. The sentiment is also part of the kit, stamped with Memento ink on a piece of card stock inked with tea dye ink.


The September kit is currently still available while supplies last. And there is also still time to subscribe to the My Monthly Hero kits, in order to start your subscription with the October kit (you would not receive the September kit with the subscription). I've had a lot of fun with this kit and looking forward to the next one already! Maybe it'll be Christmas themed? We will see....

Whimsy Stamps - June Rubber Stamp Release

Hi everyone, this month I am taking a break from the Whimsy Stamps new release, but wanted to do a quick post  here anyway, reminding you about the new goodies that are available for purchase at the Whimsy shop right now!

Be sure to visit the Whimsy blog for some fun inspiration and don't forget there are prizes to be won too :-) :-)

Let's Color Linky Party 10

Hello and thanks so much for visiting! Can't believe it's already June. This is going to be a really busy (but fun) month for me - I have family visiting from overseas - and I won't be spending much time online. But I didn't want to close the linky party as I have a paid subscription with inlinkz and wanted to get the most out of it. 

Thank you all that played along last month! There were lots of wonderful entries and it's always fun to see what you all have been coloring. I try to comment on every entry, but just to let you know, I am unable to comment on entries requiring a google plus account. I also haven't commented on instagram entries, because I do my commenting on my laptop and don't remember my instagram password which I would need on my laptop to log in. But I do appreciate all entries and of course they are all being considered for top picks.  

Be sure to scroll down to see if your entry was chosen as a top pick. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is what I created for the Let's Color Linky Party 10.

This funny stamp set "The Odd Couple" is from the May Whimsy Stamps release and includes several sentiments too, like the one I have used. I will be stamping "happily ever after" on the bottom right inside, which is also part of the set, but haven't had time yet to work on the inside of the card.
I colored with Zig clean color brush pens on winsor & newton watercolor marker paper, then matted onto pink card stock and I used some pretty paper to frame the cute image. I just love the looks on the critters faces :-)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now onto the top picks from last month. It was really hard, it always is, with so many amazing entries. But I did manage and here they are in no particular order:

Peggy 

 

Love this technique. Peggy posted a link to the tutorial on her blog, if you'd like to find out how this is done, be sure to visit her blog for the link.

Andrea

Andrea did an amazing job coloring this cute Siamese kitty. It's always challenging for me to color cats anything but one color.

Deonna 

Love how Deonna's ocean background turned out using watercolors. 

Congratulations ladies, below is your top pick badge :-)

Now it's time to get coloring again. Please remember that this month I am really busy and most likely will be very behind with commenting. I am also considering taking a break from the linky party during July, to catch up on commenting and picking top choices, but I will post the top choices with the following linky, which might be the first Saturday in August.

Happy coloring everyone!!
You have until June 28th 10am to link up.

Ice Cream Truck

I have a cute card to share today using the new clear set Ice Cream Truck from Whimsy's recent release. This set was illustrated by Krista Heij-Barber. Love her style and I find her images so easy to color with Zig Clean Color brush pens. 

 

This cute truck was stamped onto Bristol Velum card stock and colored with the Zig brush pens using an aquamarker. This set also includes some cute ice cream cones, the music notes I used over th sentiment and a sentiment, but I used a sentiment from the set Bottle cap greetings. Unfortunately I just realized that it must have retired, as I cannot find it in the Whimsy shop anymore. But I did find the bottle cap die (not used on my card) in the retiring section. Oh, and if you are looking for some fun stamps on clearance, check out the Whimsy Stamps clearance section for some great deals.

I kept the card CAS, simply embellished with sequins and clear Wink of Stella was added to the ice cream. Yes, it's hard to see, but I like the subtle shimmer.

Also, don't forget about my Let's Color Linky Party. I am now running it monthly, so I have just moved the linky over here to this post. You have another week to play along :-) If you'd like to see the original post for Let's Color Linky Party 9 with the top choice winners simply click here.

On Your Special Day

Happy Friday! 

First day of Summer break here, and I woke up as usual at 6:30, although I had plans on sleeping in today. But I was wide awake so I decided to finish a card I started working on a couple days ago. 

The cute stamp I used here is from Whimsy Stamps latest release - Josie Bell Bride from the Elisabeth Bell collection. 

I stamped her with versafine onyx ink on Neenah Solar Crest card stock and coloring was done using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The card has been kept simple. I did add a flourish die cut which was done using Whimsy's Vines Die set, along with some silk ribbon and a little flower. Framed it onto some soft coral polka dotted paper and then onto the Mellow Moss card stock. The sentiment is from the set "Everyday Moments", one of my go-to sentiment sets. 

I am playing along here:

Fussy and Fancy - 2W - No.164 - (W1 of 2) - Dies and/or Punches
 Inky Impressions -M, E1, C10  #284 Die-Cuts & Flowers (Week 2 of 4)
PDE Linky Party - W,JFF, E3 - #124 - Anything Goes

Have a great weekend everyone! I hope you'll get to enjoy some sunshine. I finally prepared my garden over the last few days and I will be busy planting my vegetables this weekend.

Sundae Funday/ Whimsy Stamps May Rubber Stamp Release

Happy Friday!! 

It's day 3 of the Whimsy Stamps inspiration posts. For today I am actually using a clear stamp set, which is also from the newest: Sundae Funday from the Krista Heij- Barber collection.

This fun image has been stamped onto Canson Mixed Media card stock using black stazon ink, and then watercolored using Zig clean color brush pens. 

Sentiment is part of this clear set. Designer paper is from a DCWV adhesive stack. The dotted paper under the sentiment is actually a strip of washi tape. A wink of stella brush pen was used on the whipped cream, you can see the sparkle in the photo below.

I don't know where Wink of Stella has been all my life!!! I just got my first pen when I ordered the Zig Brush pens a few weeks ago. I just love how it goes on so smoothly and isn't chunky at all, and give this light shimmer. I like this so much better than stickles glitter!!

Here is the inside, using stamps from the same set.

Don't forget to go link up on the Whimsy blog for a chance to win one of the gift certificates!

Have a great day!!

Designer papers are from my stash (DCWV - red, and SU - gray). Cardstock all by SU and I used some twine to finish off the card.

Let's Color Linky Party 9

Hello and welcome to another Let's Color Linky party where

Anything Goes with something colored!

I have made a tiny little change, starting today, this linky party will be monthly, as I am having some serious issues with lost crafting mojo and generally feeling a little down too on top of that. Not a good combination...
Maybe I'll do some more garden work this weekend, that might help cheer me up. I bought a few raspberry plants the other day, that are still waiting to get planted, and still more work to do to prepare my garden for the vegetable plants....

Thank you all that played along in the last linky party. It was fun seeing all your wonderful entries. Be sure to scroll down to see if you were one of the top choices.

For today I made a CAS get well card.

The image is actually from a baking set from Whimsy Stamps (Baked with Love), but I thought these cute bowls would make a cute get well card. 

Bowls were stamped onto watercolor marker card stock (Winsor & Newton) and water colored with Zig clean color brush pens. The border around the image was done freehand using a thin micron pen. Ivory jute twine and some sequins were used as embellishments, and I also added a layered butterfly. Finished off the card by adding some washi tape. The sentiment is from the set Everyday Moments, also from Whimsy Stamps. I think the designer paper is from a newer pattern pack I picked up from Joann's.

A little close up below.

I have listed this card in my Etsy shop.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now onto my top choices, as always it wasn't easy to choose, but I did manage and here are my favorite 3 in no particular order:

Donna Ellis
I just love how she colored the leaves and flowers, a beautiful overall design.

J. Atterbury Creations
also a beautiful design, and love how she colored each butterfly a different color.

 Cicci vid pennan
This beautiful piece of art has all been hand drawn and hand colored by Cicci.

 Wish I had those kind of copic skills!!!!

Congratulations!!! Wonderful coloring/drawing everyone!
Below is your top choice logo for your side bar.

An Elephant and Some Polka Dots

Hello and thanks for visiting!

I spent some time coloring with my new Zig clean color brush pens over the weekend, and this cutie from Whimsy Stamps (Springtime Elephant) was one of the things I colored up! 

I started out by first heat embossing the image using white embossing powder. I am no expert at water coloring, but definitely having fun with these pens. Love my copics and pencils but it's always fun to switch up coloring mediums so I am very happy that I got these!

The card is pretty CAS, after water coloring, I simply trimmed the edges and mounted onto melon mambo card stock then onto the designer paper. Sewed the edges before adhering it all onto the soft sky card base. The sentiment, also from Whimsy stamps (Everyday Moments), was also heat embossed with white embossing powder, and I added some more watercolor around the sentiment. 

This card is now also listed in my Etsy shop.

I am playing along here:

Amusing - Anything Goes

Alphabet Challenge -  D for Dots
PDE Linky Party - Anything Goes

Hope you're having a wonderful day with plenty of sunshine! Summery warm over here, but a thunderstorm is supposed to move in. Hope it won't be too bad!

Let's Color Linky Party 8

Happy weekend and welcome to another Let's Color Linky party :-)

The last two weeks went by so fast, I almost didn't get something done for today. I really admire all of you that get to create something every day,  or every other day, please tell me your tips on how you manage to get time for card making every single day! I am even a full time stay at home mom and it seems like I spend most of my mornings doing chores around the house and by the time I am done it's about time for the kids to come home from school. So I am seriously looking for tips on how to manage my time better!!

Thank you all that played along in the last Let's Color Linky Party. It was lots of fun visiting you all! Be sure to scroll down to see if your entry was one of the top choices!

 As usual, the theme here is

Anything Goes with Something Colored

And here is what I made using a cute stamp from Whimsy's Lee Holland collection

(Bunny on Present). 

I used copic markers on xpress it blending card for coloring and I fussy cut the image to fit the design.

The sketch is from this week's MFT sketch challenge (sketch 277). I used designer papers from my stash (I am pretty sure they are all by SU but retired.) Sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps set Everyday Moments. 
A stencil was used to add a subtle dotted design on the white card front. I finished off the card by adding a button and some twine.

This card is listed in my Etsy shop if you're interested.

Now onto the top choices from last week, it's always hard to choose but I did manage, so here are my top choices in no particular order.

Whimsy Stamps - Day 2 Rubber Stamp Release

Hello!

It's day two of the Whimsy Stamps rubber stamp release inspiration posts, and today I am sharing a masculine card using another one of Crissy Armstrong's Whimsy stamp sets - Man's Best Friend.

I started out by stamping the dog image on xpress it blending card and colored with copic markers. Next I stamped the image again on a post it note, cut it out to use as a mask and also used post it notes to create the sky/lake. SU and distress inks were used for the background.

Designer papers are from MME. Machine sewing was done along the image panel. I messed up in one of the corners so I decided to add the little triangles to each corner and since it's a masculine card, I decided to add a staple into each corner. The sentiment is part of the set.

Be sure to visit the Whimsy blog to enter into this month's new release prize drawing, super easy to enter!

Playing along in these challenges:

• Crafty Creations -  Stitching Real or Fake  
• House That Stamps Built - - Who Let The Dogs Out
• Inky Impressions - All About The Boys 
• Make My Monday -  Pets

The weather actually got really nice yesterday, and it looks like we're going to have a few nice days coming up. My tulips started blooming yesterday too, and here is photo with one of my kitties, the one who thinks he is the man of the house :-) . I really need to do some garden clean up soon...

Have a great day!!

Whimsy Stamps - April Rubber Stamp Release

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're having a good week so far and some nice spring weather. It's still a little bit too chilly over here, especially in the mornings, but I am sure it'll warm up soon enough.

Today is the Rubber Stamp Release at Whimsy Stamps.  The design team has been busy creating with these new stamps and we are going to share our creations over the next three days. There are also prizes to give away and it's really easy to enter. You can read all about that on the Whimsy Inspirations blog. There you will also see all of the new stamps in one place.

The cute stamp set I used today is called "Kitty-ology and you can find it in the Crissy Armstrong collections. I just love the look on this kitty's face, reminds me a lot of my cats, although I don't think they ever let anyone put glasses on them :-) But I did see a funny video the other day where this cat was putting on a pair of sunglasses and just kept them on. (I admit, I find cat videos pretty entertaining LOL)

I colored the image using the Zig Clean Color Brush pens on Bristol Vellum card stock and I used a Zig detailer waterbrush. Designer paper is by MME. The Spiral Notebook Border Die also from Whimsy Stamps was used for the black notebook border. Sentiment is part of this set. I used one of the dies from the Stitched die set also by Whimsy. Wink of stella clear brush was used on the eyeglass frame and the heart, but it's not really visible in the photo. The tag was tied onto the card using some Jute twine and did some sewing before adhering to a wild wasabi card base.
A little close up below..

I am entering my card here:

Creative Card Crew -Die Cut -

Die Cuttin' Divas- Library Day - Use a Book
Crafting from the Heart - Always Anything Goes
Make My Monday - Pets

That would be all for today. Don't forget to stop by the Whimsy blog to enter into the prize drawing. I will be back again tomorrow with my second new release creation!

Have a great day!!

Let's Color - Linky Party 7

Good Morning and Welcome to the new Let's Color Linky Party! 

Wonderful entries again over the last two weeks, thanks so much to everyone that played along! Be sure to scroll down to see if your entry was chosen as a top pick! I just completed visiting you all, if you haven't received a comment from me it's because commenting required a google plus account or I am not a member of the gallery you posted your creation to. But I am pretty sure I was able to leave a comment on each entry this time :-)

As always the theme is

Anything Goes with Something Colored

Here is what I made:

For my card today I inked up the cute stamp set "Jillian and Friends" from Whimsy Stamps' March release. 

I used mainly copics for coloring, but also used two colored pencils for her hair, in addition to copic marker E50. I like to use this technique when the image is very detailed, to prevent ink from the copic marker bleeding out of the lines.  I used memento ink on xpress it blending card for the image.

All other papers are from Stampin up. 

Sentiment is part of the Whimsy Stamp set. I embellished with some ribbon and twine and a button. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is never easy to choose the top picks, but I did manage, and here they are in no particular order:

Pat 

 

Sanja

Donna 

 

Well done everyone, below is your Top Pick badge!

 

Can't wait to see what everyone is going to be coloring this time!!

You have until April 22nd 10AM EST to play along!

Whimsy Stamps - New E-Magazine

Hello and Happy April Fools Day :-)

Did you hear the happy news yet? Whimsy Stamps is publishing their FREE online magazine once again! No, I am not trying to fool you :-)  Be sure to subscribe to it, this is a free publication packed with Whimsy Inspiration. Click this link to go directly to the magazine.

Today's card was one of the cards featured in the magazine.

I used the super adorable stamp "Wee Bonnie" illustrated by the super talented Sylvia Zet, available in rubber only at Whimsy Stamps. 

Bonnie has been colored with copic markers and Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. The banner sentiment is part of this cute set.

I used the stitched border trio die set along the edges. This specific part of the die set actually just embosses the stitch lines, so it's perfect if you only want to add a stitched border without cutting anything. I used papers I recently purchased along the edges and the top scallop border. An old SU punch was used for the scallop border. Tiny dots of glitter finish off this cute CAS card.

That would be all for today, I hope you liked today's card. Be sure to check out the magazine to see all the other amazing creations made by the Whimsy team. You won't regret it!

Have a great day everyone!!

Watercoloring and My Zig Clean Color Brush Opinion

Happy Monday! I had some time over the weekend to play with my new Zig Clean Color Brush Pens and one of the images I colored was the cute "Doggie's Little Behind" from Whimsy Stamps, which I used on the card below. If you'd like to read my opinion about these brush pens, be sure to read to the end of this post.

As mentioned, I used the zig clean color brush pens and this Zig Detailer Waterbrush, which I also picked up from amazon. 

The background was done with a polka dot embossing folder and sentiments are all part of this cute set from Whimsy Stamps.  

I kept the card CAS, embellished with a little bit of ribbon scrap which I stapled onto the card, then tied a bow onto the staple using some white twine.

I found a new challenge blog today, CAS Mix Up, and I am going to enter my card there. This is a CAS mixed media challenge where this month's theme is stamping, watercoloring, and "your choice", something you choose from a list on their side bar. I chose embossing folder for my extra choice. 

If you are interested in my thoughts about these brush pens, keep reading. 

Some of you may know, that I was thinking about getting these brush pens for some time now, but then remembered I had a set of Aquamarkers and a package of Distress Markers (not to mention the 2 packages of high quality artist watercolor paints). My main reason for wanting water soluble markers is for coloring directly onto stamps before stamping, especially for those stamps that require two colors.  And since I found the other markers I decided not to get them. But I kept watching videos about these Zig Brush Pens, and finally changed my mind again and purchased the set of 36.

Here are some of my opinions: They are so easy to watercolor with. I can't believe how nicely the ink dissolves! Of course I am no expert with water coloring, but it's easy to learn  if you have a product that helps you along. I love how vibrant the colors are! While watching lots of videos, I also discovered the Winsor & Newton watercolor marker pad, and decided to get one from Dick Blick. This has been my favorite paper to use with these markers.

About coloring directly onto the stamps: yes, it works and stamps beautifully, but...I won't be using them for this purpose. While trying this technique, I had a feeling the bristles from the brush pens won't last long if I did this more often, so I will  order more of the distress markers for this use.

Do I regret buying them? Not at all. I love watercolor looks and I feel like these are the easiest to use for water coloring. I think they are a great watercolor medium especially if you are new to water coloring and want to learn. Besides the card below I also colored another image which I shared HERE on Instagram .

Do I regret buying only 36 instead of 48 or more - no. I was going to get the set of 48, but the 48 pack seller from amazon had too many negative reviews within the last month, so I chose the pack of 36. I might add a couple more colors someday, but right now it's all the colors I need.

I have seen some complains about not having a "red" red. The color I thought would be red is very pink, bright pink, when dissolved with water, but since these are water soluble, it's easy enough to use a little bit of brown with the pinkish red to tone it down a little. 

Again, these are just my own personal thoughts after owning them for a few days.

Sorry, that got a little bit longer than I thought it would. 

I need to get off my computer now, been working on blog posts and card edits all morning...getting dizzy staring at the screen for so long...

Hope you all have a fabulous day!!

Whimsy Stamps March Release - Day 3

Happy Friday again, I am back with a second card today. If you'd like to see my first post simply scroll down.

It's the last day of the Whimsy Stamps New Release Inspiration posts for March. Don't forget to visit the Whimsy blog to enter into the prize drawings if you haven't already.

For today I made another cute Easter card. This time using the cute Easter Bunny stamp from the Krista Heij-Barber collection. 

Colored with copic markers and fussy cut. I used the same tag die from Whimsy's stitched tag die set. Similar sketch was used as on my card from earlier today. The sentiment is from a really old SU Easter Set. Designer paper is from a recent designer paper pack I picked up at Hobby Lobby and card stock is from Stampin Up.

I am playing along here:

Whimsy Stamps - March Rubber Stamp Release

Good morning, happy Wednesday and thank you so much for visiting today!!

It's time already for the March rubber stamp release at Whimsy Stamps. I think you are going to love this new release. I know I do, lots of cute critters are being released, and those are always my favorites :-)

There will be Whimsy prizes to give away, so be sure to visit the Whimsy Inspirations blog to find out how easy it is to enter into the drawing. You will also see all of the new stamps in one place. 

For my card today I used the adorable new Bunny with Daffodil illustrated by Lee Holland. What a cutie and I had lots of fun coloring him. 

Copic markers were used for coloring and I fussy cut the image. The meadow background was done by inking with distress ink mowed lawn and I used some grass and leave stamps with certainly celery ink (SU -retired) to stamp the leaves and grass. I used a grass punch and some designer paper from my stash to add an exta grass border. Sky was also inked using tumbled glass distress ink. Sentiment is from the set "Everyday Moments"  which is currently my favorite Whimsy sentiment set.  I used one of the dies from the stitched tag die set to cut it out and tied it onto the card with some green jute twine. 

 I embellished with some jute twine and added a little prima flower and brad, then stitched along the edges before adhering it to the card base. 

The card is now listed here in my Etsy shop if you are interested.
