Apple Basket New by Whimsy Stamps



*NEW Apple Basket Rubber Cling Stamp, doesn't this just speak fall?  I decided to do this one very clean and simple with nothing more than the image itself.  Nope, no sentiment, no background papers or dies, just the stamp colored.  

You can add any sentiment.  I will let your creativity take you there.  The point to this is, not all images have to be made into elaborate cards to be beautiful.  Sometime clean and simple are just as lovely, or even more so.  Yes, I could have added 3 sequins to dress this up a smidge with a dot of Nuvo Drop in the center of those sequins.  But I wanted it plain for the reasons I described.

If you are indeed a Clean and Simple Card designer Yes, Whimsy Stamps has the perfect stamps for you.  If you are a more detailed card designer....try stepping out of your comfort zone and going CAS.  You may surprise yourself.

Pumpkin Patch New by Whimsy



I will admit that I do love coloring pumpkins. Why?  I am not sure.  I think it's the warm colors of fall.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  And it is almost here!!!!!!  Visiting all the apple orchards around this part of New York, pumpkin farms the colors in the East are so different than anywhere else.  So vivid and mind blowing.  Then they fall and everything is ugly and spooky looking....then comes the snow and its beauty once again.  Can't you tell I love the seasons.  I really missed them for the 20 years I was in Arizona.

This new stamp is DoveArt Pumpkin Patch and one of my favs!  I've done some under coloring with warm grays to deepen the shadows.   This stamp is a total keeper!  Whimsy Stamps is amazing with all their selections of stamps and digis.

Lemon Zest

Hello, ok....so...Amy was right!  I love to color yellows now.  No, seriously I do.  You might look at this class and think, "I don't want to color lemons."  Oh, yes you do!  This class was awesome.


Ok, I have to admit, I did do a few things a little different from Amy.  But that is ok.  We should all learn and add what we know to make something our very own.  I use a blender marker to dot all over to add aditional texture at the end of marker coloring.   And I went with a lighter under color.  You will have to take the class to find out what I mean by that.  Just saying.

Amy and I agree that students should take what they know and what we teach them and put them together to make it their own work.  

So listen up peeps....if you shy away from coloring with yellow.  Seriously, sign up for this class!  You will love it.

Maynard2 by Whimsy



Hello friends, Today is a Whimsy Stamps Day.  With Maynard, by DoveArt.  Now Maynard is the sweetest bear ever and I personally adore him.  I have taught this bear in many classes.  I can honestly tell you this stamp will be a keeper for years to come.  You will color him for Christmas, Birthdays, Get Well's, or just because.  And the most fun is his hat.  Coloring that stocking cap is fun!
Oh wait, Congrats its a girl or boy!  Maynard is so versatile for any occasion.
