A Tinbit Christmas by Linda
Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Wild Whisper blog! I'm still having fun making Christmas cards, and today I have a shaker one made from the Tinbit Travels collection by Nicole Wright. As well as adding a bunch of glittery Doo Dadz from Buttons Galare's "Cool Yule" embellishment pack, I die cut the stag out of red glitter paper and threw him in there too. I love how he moves through the "forest" as you shake the card. Below, I show the sheet that I cut my background from. Slimline cards are 3.5" x 8.5", so in order to fit...
Paper Challenge by Linda
Hi everyone, It's December, and time to push the cardmaking into high gear! So what do you do if you don't have any Christmas paper, and you're in the mood to make Christmas cards??? I'm going to show you how to use a pack of non-Christmas paper and challenge you to try it! The collection I started with is Simplicity by Pam Bray. At first glance, it doesn't look very Christmassy does it? Flipping through it though, there was a wreath that caught my eye. Next step was to find some background paper for the wreath and I loved this...
All is Calm by Linda
Hi everyone, I pulled out my Wild Whisper Christmas stamps... Christmas Comfort, Woodsy, Home for the Holidays... and combined them on a pretty, sparkly card today. I used them to create a scene within this pretty bauble stencil which was sponged with Hickory Smoke and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks. I then took a piece of paper from an old collection called "Small Patterns", and to sparkle it up and make it Christmassy, I embossed the edges with Ranger's Silver Tinsel embossing powder, and trimmed it with a sparkly silver ribbon. Above, you can see how I also embossed...
Play in the Dirt Triple Pop Up Cube Card by Linda
Hi everyone! Welcome back to the Wild Whisper blog! Today, I'm sharing an A2 Triple Pop Up Cube card that I created using the new Wild Whisper collection "Play in the Dirt". I've seen a lot of different varieties of the Triple Pop Up Cube Cards, but I liked this version where the two smaller boxes are different heights and widths, so I went with it. This video is the one that inspired me to make this card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3qlnPXN09A&app=desktop These cards look complicated, but they are based on the simple principle of gluing 3 different boxes together. I used Bazill's heavyweight 100lb...
"Sensations" Birthday Card by Linda
Hi everyone! I'm here today with a slimline birthday card to share with you. I was fishing through my leftover bits and pieces and found this lovely piece from Pam Bray's "Sensations" line to use as a base for the card front. I cut it down and layered it over top of another rectangle that was 3-1/2" x 8-3/4". Then I added a couple of pieces from this page of super cute die cuts. I distressed the edges, added some twine and popped up the die cuts for some dimension. For the inside, I used up more of the patterned...
