Big Bug Hugs!

By KariV on March 20, 2025 in Paper Crafting

Hello, today I have a Bug Hugs card that’s as cute as a bug! I love to create cards with Whimsy Stamps, however, it’s rare I share a video. TODAY I have a video to share creating this Bug Hugs card! I also have a bonus simple card at the end *Wink!*

Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

Aren’t these bugs so cute?! Their expressions really make me smile.

I used the BIG Hugs sentiment die, but did a little slick switcharoo and made it say BUG Hugs instead!

Here’s the bonus card using the same supplies, in a different way:

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed these Bug Hugs today! Thanks for stopping by!

St. Patrick’s Day Cards

By KariV on February 1, 2025 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, St. Patrick's Day

Hello! Today I’m sharing some fun St. Patrick’s Day Cards with new products from Whimsy Stamps. I love making St. Patrick’s Day cards and I have for a while since I have some loved ones whose birthdays are on March 17th!

This first set called Lucky Charm really made me smile! I heat embossed the sentiment in gold and created an ink blended rainbow background. I colored up that lucky leprechaun with Copic Markers and popped him up with foam adhesive….you might notice the gold coin (and trail) stamped on the background. That’s right!! I stamped it first on the background just to have those elements showing, then put the colored version of the leprechaun only over the top!

I used the clovers in the stamp set to create a background and ink blended some green ink around the edges.

Next, I created a shaker card with the new Quick Card Fronts! There are actually 2 different sets of Quick Card Fronts this release, this one with the harp is the Celtic Mix.

For the border, I used only one of the dies from the new Celtic Knots Die set. I LOVE this die set! See my next card for a full look at the border in this set.

Here is the magic of that Celtic Knots die set!! This time I used it with the St. Patrick’s Day Vintage Postcards Quick Card Fronts (a beautiful collection)!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! Thanks for stopping by!

Arrrgh! Talk Like a Pirate Treasure Hunt

By KariV on September 18, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Arrrgh! Today is Talk Like a Pirate day and we are celebrating with a TREASURE Hunt at Whimsy Stamps!

I have a card to share and I dare you to find the hidden icon as a part of your TREASURE to collect! (visit the Whimsy Stamps & Inspiration Facebook Page for the full details of how to collect all the icons)

I usually add a touch of red to my pirate cards, but today I kept it fairly neutral with a touch of gold! I used the TREASURE Map die with coordinating TREASURE Map stamps, Arggh die, and the Spiders & Web die set. The little pirate mouse is from last years Whimsy STAMPtember collab stamp set! (no longer available)

For the sentiment, I added the Harlequin stencil with black glitter paste over gray paper. Then I die cut the word from that once it was completely dry. I think it adds a fun texture and design to the word!

The “Gimme Candy” sentiment is from this Monsters Halloween set.

I hope you can find the TREASURE for your hunt and head back to the Whimsy Stamps & Inspiration Facebook page for further instruction.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are having fun with the hunt for the loot, Matey!
