Whimsy Stamps Dead Dolly

 Oh, hi! I've got a couple cards to share today using the new Dead Dolly stamp set by Whimsy Stamps.

These little dollies are pretty cute . . . in a creepy kind of way . . . 

Here's the first card:

{Supplies used are linked in the text in this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!}

I started out by creating a mask for the moon. Then I used Milled Lavender, Victorian Velvet, and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks to create the sky.  I used Ground Espresso and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks to create the ground.  For the moon, I used Hickory Smoke and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink.

I die cut the tombstones from the Build-a-Graveyard Die Set from Gray cardstock and added a bit of Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink around the edges. Then I die cut the fences and bats from black cardstock and adhered them to my ink blended panel.

I stamped the images on to Cougar Super Smooth Cardstock and colored them up with my Copics. I used my Brother Scan n' Cut machine to cut them out and popped them up with foam tape on the card panel.

I adhered that to the front of a top folding black notecard.

For the second card, I really wanted to use the new Wobbly Windows Slimline Die . .. I just knew the dollies would be perfect with it.



I used the same Distress Oxide inks for the background and then splattered it with Dylusions White Ink Spray and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide ink.

Next, I ran it through my Gemini, Jr. die-cutting machine and adhered it to the front of a dark brown slimline card base.  I embossed the sentiments with Detail White Embossing Powder.

I stamped the dollies onto Cougar Super Smooth Cardstock and colored them with my Copics.  I ran them through my Brother Scan n' Cut and added foam tape to the back of them and adhered them to the from of the card.

Supplies Used:

Dark Brown Cardstock

Distress Oxide Inks:

Copics Used:
Skin - E42, E41, YR30, E50
Hair - E25, E23, E31

Two Quick Cards with a (SUPER) Creepy Clown

 Oh, hi! I've got two quick cards to share with you today. I should warn you though . . .if clowns aren't your thing, you might want to skip this post.

Anywho . . .for the first card, I used the Creepy Clown stamp and the Haunted Parlor stamp (seriously, I love this stamp!).

{Supplies used are linked in the text in this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!}

I stamped the Creepy Clown using Versafine Onyx Black ink. Then I stamped it onto a piece of masking paper to mask him out so I could then stamp the Haunted Parlor.  For the Haunted Parlor I used Memento Gray Flannel Ink.

I did a little bit of ink blending using Catherine Pooler Melon Ice and Memento Gray Flannel Inks, making sure to keep a nice highlight in the center.

I colored in the doorway in the top left with a black Copic marker and added spooky eyes with a white gel pen.  Once the gel pen was dry, I did a quick swipe with YG01 to make the eyes glow.

For extra creepiness on the clown, I used a white gel pen on his teeth and a black glaze pen on his eyes.

I die-cut that panel with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle die and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock that was cut just a tad bit bigger.  Then I adhered that to a gray notecard and Viola! Card #1 is done.

The second card was even easier!


I cut a piece of paper from the Haunted Paper pack down to a little smaller than 4" x 5 1/4" and stamped the clown and sentiment using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I adhered that to a piece of blue card stock that's just a tad bit bigger and then adhered that to a black notecard.

And, of course, for more extra creepiness, I used a white gel pen on the teeth and a black glaze pen on his eyes.  And there you have it! Card #2 done!

Whimsy Stamps Creepy Clown stamp

Whimsy Stamps Haunted Parlor stamp

What's a Haunted Parlor without Ghosties?

Oh, hi! I mentioned that I was loving the Haunted Parlor Stamp . . .and I really am!  Here's another card I created using it, along with the Spirited Sentiments Stamp Set and the Foolish Mortals die.

This card came together really quickly!


I stamped and embossed the image onto a piece of gray cardstock. Then I stamped the ghosts onto vellum and cut them out. I ran them through my little Xyron Sticker Maker to hide the adhesive and attached them to the card panel.

I die cut Foolish Mortals from white cardstock and used liquid glue to adhere it to the card panel. I adhered the whole card panel to a piece of white cardstock and then adhered that to a black notecard.

See? Easy-peasey!

Whimsy Stamps Haunted Parlor Stamp

What IS that??

Oh, hi! I am loving the Haunted Parlor stamp by Whimsy Stamps! There are soooooo many things you can do with it!

Look closely . . . do you see the hand coming out from under the couch? And from the doors? And what about those eyes peering at you from the floor?

{Supplies used are linked in the text in this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your support!}

I stamped and colored the image first. . .then I used my craft knife to cut openings for the under the couch and the doors.  The "hands" aren't hands at all . . .they are the teeth from the skull dies from the Build-a-Graveyard Die Set.

The eyes . . .I just used a white gel pen for those.  Creepy, huh?
