It’s Looking Grim

Hello! It’s Looking Grim for my next cards…Grim Reaper that is! This is a fun part of the new Whimsy Release and I have THREE cards to share.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For these three cards, I used the SAME DIE CUT called “Nightmare Die” from Whimsy Stamps. I show how you can use the die for Slimline, Mini Slimline, AND A2 sized cards. It’s so fun to change it up a bit to fit the cards!

Card 1: Grim Reaper

The Magnificent Backgrounds are so easy when you have GORGEOUS paper packs like these from Whimsy. For this grim reaper card, I used the Slimline Nightmares paper pack, the Nightmare Die, and the Roaming Monsters Die. I added some detail to the black cardstock with the Clawed stencil and some Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink.

Card 2: Mini Slimline Spooky Jacks

For this card, I took the inside portion of that Nightmare die and repurposed it for this size! I added the gorgeous Harlequin stencil with the same Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink. The background paper is from the Haunted Graveyards 6×6 Paper Pack, which has quickly become a favorite paper pack of mine!

Those stacked jack-o-lanterns are so cute, aren’t they? That’s from the Boo Ghosts stamp set.

3. A2 Monsters

Just look at that paper on the background! It’s just beautiful, isn’t it?! I cannot recommend Whimsy’s paper packs enough. Every single one I have is just breathtaking and a joy to create with.

Again, this is the leftover inside piece of that Nightmare die. I cut it once, and was able to create THREE CARDS with just one die cut piece! So awesome.
