All New, Just In – Whimsy Stamps for Halloween!
Hi friends! We’re beyond delighted to welcome special guest Cari Scharping to showcase the BRAND NEW Whimsy Stamps Halloween collection with not just one, but two fabulous cards! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hello crafty peeps! It’s that time of year to begin your Halloween projects! This is my absolute favorite holiday, and I am super excited to be on Simon Says Stamp blog sharing two cards I made with some of the spooktacular products from Whimsy Stamps’ latest release.
My first card is a slimline card that features the new Primitive Halloween stamps and coordinating outline dies.
I started by die cutting several pieces of the short fence from the Slimline Fence die and distressed the edges with Black Soot. I adhered them to an 8 ½” x 3 ½” grey cardstock card base.
Once the entire base was lined with the fence pieces, I cut the base to 8 ¼” x 3 ¼” and again distressed the edges with Black Soot. I adhered the base to an 8 ½” x 3 ½” piece of black cardstock.
I die cut out Forever Cameo Frame set in both black cardstock (for the frame) and silver matte cardstock (for the mirror). I also stamped the select images from the Primitive Halloween stamp set. For the ghost, I used Whimsy Stamps’ Mirror Image stamp pad to create a second ‘reverse’ image as well. Color the images as you wish or use the colors I’ve noted at the end of the blog. Whimsy offers the coordinating outline dies for this set which make die cutting these images a breeze!
It was then simply a matter of layering the frames and images on the card base. I stamped the sentiments from the Primitive Halloween stamp set and die cut them out with Frame Labels dies. I adhered them with double sided foam tape. I adhered the card front to an 8 ½” x 3 1/2” card base I cut and scored from white cardstock.

But wait, I’m not done! Because I was having so much fun with these new products, I made a second card using the new Primitive Candy Corn die. As much as I love with this new extra-large die set, I have to admit I am not fond of the actual candy. That gave me the idea for this card and the sentiment I would use.
The finished card is 5” x 6 ½ ”. Other than slimline cards, this is my preferred go-to size. So I started with a 5” x 6 ½” piece of white cardstock (I’ll cut it down later, after I color it, but I want the extra size to be able to tape it down to my work space). I ink blended the cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks (colors below)
After letting it dry, I splattered it with orange, black and white paint. Once the paint dried, I cut the cardstock to 4 ½” x 6” and randomly stamped the brick pattern from Whimsy Stamps’ Mixed Media Bits stamp set.
Now it’s time to create your candy corn. I die cut the three sections of the candy with yellow, orange and white cardstock and die cut the outline base in black. I also cut the patch out in yellow and the patch outline and stitches in black. Assembling the candy corn is easy and you can place the patch and stitches as you would like.
I wanted a little something to go with the candy corn, so I stamped and colored the flowers from the Primitive Halloween stamp set I used for my first card. A list of the colors I used are noted below.
Using double sided tape, I adhered the ink blended cardstock to 4 ¾” x 6 ¼” black cardstock and then to a 5” x 6 ½” orange cardstock. This was then adhered to a standard 5” x 6 ½” scored card base. I used double sided foam tape to adhere the candy corn and flowerpot to the front of the card.
Lastly, I printed the sentiment from my computer (Font: DK Jambo) onto white cardstock and die cut it using Whimsy Stamps Quick Strips die set. I adhered it to black cardstock that I trimmed for the base and added it to the card as the final touch.
