This card went to my second daughter. She saw a tiktok years ago of a little girl saying "it's frickin' bats" "i love halloween"
She's also a fan of gnomes. When I found this image in Cricut DS I knew I had to make a card. I used an embossing folder from Whimsy. I used glossy accents and stickles to add shimmer and shine to the card. Of course, I used design space to make a custom sentiment. I loved how this turned out and she really enjoyed it too.

My BFF got another hocus pocus themed card this year. Can anyone tell me these characters?? If you said Binks and Billy you'd be right. I also colored "Book" and put it in the inside of the card. I used Cricut glitter cardstock and spellbinders number dies to create the 31. The background paper is a pad from Whimsy. They have some amazing background paper pads. This stamp set came from Kindred Stamps. They carry a wide variety of theme style stamps.
So apparently, I missed this card from 2020. It was a "look at the scraps left on my desk and here's what I did" . Seriously, these various die cuts were scattered on my desk and I threw them together for a pretty quick card.

This fireplace die set is a spellbinders holiday die set for Christmas. You can see I dirtied it up and combined some Whimsy dies to spook it up! I thought it turned out so cute.

This card uses a stamp set from Whimsy. There's a little word play in the sentiments, and I purchased them specifically for making my uncle a card. What I didn't realize until it arrived was one of the ghosts is making a very impolite gesture. I couldn't help but laugh at myself...something I never would have purchased had I realized. Pay attention to the detail's friends...LOL #buyersremorse. I used the non-naughty ghosts and added a soft dimensional spider to the scene. I can't remember the maker of the die set I used but I love the details in the edges.
I have loved this donkey set since I first laid eyes on it. I love the goofy grins and faces he has. When I won the vlog hop I was able to add this stamp set and selfie dies to my gifts.
I had a friend request a card for her husband's friend who recently gifted them some very expensive hearing aids. I found the sentiment "did you hear?" in one of my old Stamps of life stamp sets. I thought it was perfect for the occasion. I did some dry embossing. Popped the polaroid's onto foam tape for dimension. I colored both donkeys with my triblend markers. I added pops of color in marine and glossy accents over his eyes for final touches. I think this makes a nice masculine card and I hope the recipient gets a kick out of it.
So, here are some of the products I picked up from Whimsy Stamps when I won the video hop. I've been in love with this cow since she was released. The fence posts, grass, and nail heads are a die set from the company as well. I colored my heifer with my triblend markers. I used tumbled glass and rustic wilderness to blend in a little sky and grass. I found a little bird stamp/die in my stash from Spellbinders that I thouht had the same whimsical style as my scene. She was a last addition. I added glossy accents to her red lips and sparkle pen to her bow. The little flowers were ones I already had made in my stash. This is a 4 X 9 card and it fits in a standard business envelope.
This card is going to my friend that I refer to as my Barnabas. She prays for me, encourages me, supports and teaches me so much about becoming a more mature woman of God. Her dad happened to be a dairy farmer, so I thought this cow was a perfect fit for thanking her.
In hindsight, I wish I had added some little bumblebees in the sky, but this is already in the envelope, ready to deliver.
I can't even believe it. I have watched youtube for years. I have followed blogs and participated in hops for as long as I can recall. At the end of April, Whimsy Stamps had a video hop, which I participated in and I WON!!! Made my day. I received a 100.00 gift card to their shop. I still feel so blessed. It's been rough around here in the last several months....(or 16 years, but who's counting) but specifically since September 2022 it's been rough. Visit me here if you are interested in more of those tales. Anyway, I thought I would share some cards I made with older product that I own from Whimsy Stamps. I cannot wait to work with the product I have had on my wishlist since 2021. I have to give a shout out to Joy at Create it with Joy, for being the first person to introduce me to Whimsy Stamps. After my initial purchase, I started following the creators from the Whimsy Stamps design team and they are all awesome! Go check them out!!!
