Whimsy Stamp's Spooky Release!

It is September 10th, which means two things, one it is my 50th birthday! and two, it is Whimsy Stamp's new release!  ( I think I am more excited about the release! LOL)  I love the new ATC Book die display.  I decided to make it a box for Halloween treats though instead.  I gave it a good splattering of black paint to distress it a bit.  For the front I stamped and embossed the new Trick or Treat Stamp in blood red. 

For the edges I spread some grit paste to give it an old worn out look.  The spider is from the previously released Spiders and Die set.  I gave it a coating of glossy accents for added dimension.  I adhered everything with Crafty Foam tape. 

You won't want to miss the rest of the release! Be sure to pop by Whimsy Stamps to see it all!

Have a great day!

 

Whimsy Stamp's September Release and Instagram Hop!

Hello everyone! Today is Whimsy Stamp's September release! And they are hosting an Instagram Hop too! You will love seeing all of the new products and fun projects! And better yet?  There are prizes!

You can head over to my INSTAGRAM account or Whimsy Stamps to begin the hop!

My project today uses the new, I Want Candy stamp set.  I stamped the pumpkin on Copic friendly paper and filled in the background with black.  The sentiment was stamped on hot pink card stock, embossed in black, and fussy cut out.  I used the Slimline Pocket Die to cut the image and coordinating card stock.  Behind the pocket I used the new 6 x 6 Vintage Halloween paper.  

I added hot pink tulle, orange twine, and a pearl to the center of the bow.  The sentiment was added using Crafty Foam Tape.  

Be sure to check out our Instagram Hop and the Whimsy Stamps store!

 

Pumpkin Spice Anyone?

Hello!

I don't want to start a war or anything, but are you a pumpkin spice fanatic? Are you the person who the first day it comes out, you are in the drive-thru giddy with excitement?  ;)  Well, that's me....LOL.  I love summer, don't get me wrong, but fall is my jam.  Something about it gets me.  The cooler weather, fall clothes, comfort foods.........

I created these little fall inspired treat boxes from Whimsy's Gnome So Thankful stamp set.  The image was stamped in Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink on water color paper.  I used a no line water coloring technique with my Karin Brush Markers. Once it was dry I splattered it with white gouache. 

I cut out the image using the Pierced and Stitched Circles Die set.  The treat box was from the Mini Treat Box Die.  I adhered the circular image using Crafty Foam Tape.  I added the sentiment, a pearl, twine and a couple of leaves from the Build-a-Pumpkin Patch Die set. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
