I‟m a mum of four, grandma to two and Im married to a fabulous man that puts up with having glitter glue, ribbon and piles of paper around the house taking up space. I live in the uk and work part time with children getting messy all day. I love my life. My family have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and my pas-sion for crafting, I think from an early age Ive been making something out of nothing and finding a use for all those old post cards and bits of scrap paper,I can only blame my mom and her passion for making things,and that passion has continued throughout my life and with Whimsy.

My name is Marilyn and I live on a farm in Saskatchewan, Canada and work full time as a municipal admin-istrator. I am to my very supportive husband who seems to understand my crazy obsessions and we have two grown wonderful children who have given us three of the most pre-cious grandchildren ever! I‟ve been making cards for about 3 years now and began a blog in Sep-tember of 2009. The bug hit me

when I went to a Stampin Up card making party where we stamped with coloured ink onto cardstock but before long before I started surfing the net where I found coloured pencils (which I promptly purchased) and from there it progressed to Copic markers (which I promptly purchased) and from there I started my obsession, pur-chasing rubber and digi stamps, paper, cardstock, flowers, ribbon, charms, Nestabilities, Cuttlebug, punches, brads... you know the rest, I need it all! I am so pleased and honoured to be part of the fantastic Whimsy team and have enjoyed every moment of it.

Tutorial by Mariska van der Veer

3d Paper Piecing3d Paper Piecing3d Paper Piecing Mariska teaches you how to give some dimension to your

stamped and colored images! Follow along with her as she walks through her techniques for 3D paper piecing.

* Stamp Suzi With Bunny by Wee Stamps for Whimsy Stamps (sentiment from Holiday Mini Postage Stamps) * Paper to stamp on (I use Paper Temptress Irides-cent Cryogen White) * Ink to stamp with (I use Memento Tuxedo Black) * Acryl Block * Copic Markers (or another medium to color with) * Nestability die and Big Shot (or other way to trim image) * Precision scissors and/or craft knife * Memento Dual Tip Marker Tuxedo Black * Pergamano embossing tools and mat * White gelpen (mine is from a Dutch store named the Hema) * Olba Glue kit with syringes (this is a Dutch brand and isn’t for sale in the USA at the moment but Whimsy Stamps is considering selling this in the online store) * Pair of tweezers

Step 1: I stamp the image several times. I stamp one image with enough space around it to trim it into the shape I want, the other stamped images can be placed very close to each other. In this picture I have stamped the image five times but I ended up using seven stamped images.

Do It Yourself: 3d Paper piecing






Step 3: Instead of coloring everything in one image I color each part of the image that I want in a different layer separately. I take care that I don‟t col-or two parts that “touch” each other on the same image. For example, the face will be placed on top of the neck so I color the face in image 1 and the neck in image 2. I do this with every little piece and stamp more images when, while coloring, I found out I need more.

Step 4: Here all the parts are col-ored and, as you can see, I‟ve trimmed my “base” image and also colored some small parts that are going to be way in the back on this “base” image.


Step 2: I cut the image I‟m going to use as a base (the image with more space around it) apart from the other images and put this to the side. Now I start color-ing the other images, I per-sonally always start with the skin tones.



Step 5: I am now going to decide from every little piece I‟ve colored what ad-joining piece is going to be the base for another piece. For instance, in the mat-ter of the face, the hair adjoining the face is going to be a higher layer then the face, so the hair next to the face that I‟ve colored is going to serve as a base for that. I am now coloring part of all these adjoining base pieces with my W5 Copic Marker. I do this because when the im-age is finished you are not only going to be looking at it from straight above. When you don‟t color the base pieces in a dark color you will see a lot of white when you don‟t look at the paper pieced image from straight above and I person-ally don‟t like that. I did make some mis-takes in coloring the W5 areas though but I hope you get the basic idea.

Step 6: Next I‟m going to take my trimmed base image and color all the parts that I have-n‟t colored yet with my W5 Copic Marker. Also I now add shadows and I do this with my W5, W3, W1 and W00 Copic Markers. Any trim-ming, distressing of the edges or sewing around the edges needs to be done at this stage. As you may be able to see I distressed the edges of the trimmed base image with dis-tress ink.

Step 7: Now the cutting starts. I cut out all the pieces I‟ve colored with the W5 colored “base”pieces attached to them. As you probably can see you don‟t need the full “base”pieces but you do need a rim to glue the next layer on.




Step 8: In this picture you see all the cut out pieces. I didn‟t cut out the flowers yet because it‟s easier doing this at the last stage.

Step 9: Now I take every piece I‟ve cut and I color the edges of the pieces with the side of the larger tip of the Dual Tip Memento Marker. Again, the reason why I do this is because I don‟t want to see white edges when I look at the finished paper pieced image from the side. It is a bit time consuming but it really does make a lot of difference in the end result.

Step 10: Now I take the embossing tools and the embossing mat. I put every single piece that I‟ve cut on the mat with the col-ored side down, take an embossing tool that I think has the right size, gently press down on the image and start making circu-lar motions while pressing softly.




Step 11: Now the fun part starts. I lay all the pieces I‟ve cut on a white sheet of paper more or less in the order that I‟m going to stack them on the image (as you can see in step 8). I fill a syringe with the glue. I start with the piece that‟s going to be on the bot-tom. Looking at the piece I‟m going to place I put glue on the base image. I now take my pair of tweezers and carefully place the piece on top of the glue. I do this piece by piece, every time carefully deciding which piece comes next. I don‟t press down be-cause that will flatten the image and that isn‟t what I want. The glue is very thick and will allow me to move the piece I‟m placing in exactly the right place. When you notice you need to place a little more glue or something on one spot it‟s very easy to re-move the piece again with your tweezers, add the glue and replace the piece. Once the glue is dried out it‟s VERY strong. It‟s the best glue I‟ve found for this technique but also to attach flowers and other embel-lishments to your project.

Step 12: Here you can see that most of the body is glued on.

Step 13: And here the only thing that‟s left is to cut the little flowers and leaves, color their edges, emboss them and glue them on. I do this one at at time, this way I won‟t have to puzzle as much which flower goes where.




Step 14: And here the com-plete image is 3D paper pieced. In this particular image I‟ve added two flowers in the basket that weren‟t there on the stamped image. I simply colored two flowers that were-n‟t used yet, did the same I did to every other piece and glued them on between the other flowers.

Step 15: Now the image is finished. I‟ve added some white accents with my white gelpen. You may also see that I‟ve used some tiny white liquid pearls dots. Now I can use my im-age the same as you would use a flat image.




Here is Mariska’s finished project!

Step 5: Once you cut all around it's really easy to pull out the pag-es. Apply Glue (I used Tape glue it's a lot stronger and you don't have to wait till it dries) to all your sections.

Step 6: Press Firmly and your Book is ready to deco-rate!


I do hope I’ve inspired you to give this

project a try. The precious Suzi With

Bunny by Wee Stamps may look a bit

overwhelming with all the little details

but you can always start with a

“simpler” stamp. The stamps by Mel-

jen’s Designs and Crissy Armstrong

for Whimsy Stamps are perfect to try

this technique for a first time. The tech-

nique is very time consuming but the end

result is, I think, so worth it.

Want to create a unique card that is sure to catch the eye? Follow Iris as she walks you through how to create a book card!

Tutorial by Iris Wiechmann

Book CardBook CardBook Card

STEP 1: Use extra heavy card stock to give stability to your book card. Start by cut-ting 2 pieces CS 10 x 6 inch-es, 2 pieces 10 x 5 inches and 1 piece for the cover 11 ¾ x 6.5.

Supplies

Whimsy Stamps: Wee Florist, Love Let-ter Seals, and Everyday Circle Post-marks

Whimsy Stamps Shapeology: Country Heart Die and Elegant Butterflies die set

Thick cardstock Copic markers, embellishments, pat-

terned papers, punches

STEP 2: Score the 10 x 6 and the 10 x 5 pieces of pa-per at every 1 inch.











Step 4: If desired you can now distress the edges to get a more vintage look.

Step 3: Now fold all 4 pieces of paper accordion style and be careful that the folds are straight!

Do It Yourself: Book Card by Iris

Step 5: Now take a long-er and a shorter piece and put them together like you can see in the picture. The folds need to intertwine.



Step 7: Glue your pieces together. First glue on the shorter piece….


Step 6: Make sure the longer side is on top and covers the shorter piece Now your two piec-es should look like this.

Step 8: … and then the longer piece on top. Now turn it over and glue together the same pieces on the back!



Step 9: Proceed with the rest of the folded cardstock in the exact same manner. You should have a frame now that looks similar like the one you can see in the picture.

Step 10: Now onto the cover. Score the cardstock at 5 ½ and at 6 1/4




Step 11: Fold at the score lines. Now you have your cover


You can decorate your frame with ribbon, lace etc. I punched out a paper border and glued it to the frame. I decorated the inside with designer paper. Decorate the rest of the book card as desired.

Pill Box TutorialPill Box TutorialPill Box Tutorial Lori shows you how to cre-ate to pill box - perfect for

dressing up gift cards!

by Lori Pachkowsky

Step 1: Start by using a heavy piece of de-signer paper or cardstock 7 inches x 6.5 inches. Score at 3.25 inches, then at 6.5 inches and this should leave a 1/2 inch scored off section.

Supplies

Whimsy Stamps Holiday Postage Stamps Cheery Lynn Designs snowflake die Plate (or other round-shaped Embellishments Pencil/pen, Ruler Patterned paper Distress Ink (optional)

Step 2: Next fold along the scored lines and add double stick tape or glue to the 1/2 inch strip and press closed.





Do It Yourself: Pill Box Tutorial

Step 3: You will end up with some-thing that looks like the picture on the left.

Step 5: Take a circle shape (you can use any-thing round even a glass as long as it fits when lined up with the two marks). Line the circle up to the 1/2 inch marks on both sides. You can trace the top half with a pencil or use a scor-ing tool and run it across the top of the circle.

Step 4: Next take your ruler and mark with pencil at the 1/2 inch mark on both sides. Do this at both ends. Then flip to card over and do the same to the other side.



Step 6: Turn your circle to-wards the inside and once again line up to the 1/2 marks and this time score along the edge. Do this at the opposite end as well. and turn the card over and repeat on the opposite side.


Step 7: Trim along the scored line on either end.

Step 8: Next using a small circle punch (I found mine at Michael's for $1.50) punch a half circle on the top flap. Do this at the opposite end as well.




Step 9: Now fold along down along the scored edges. Make sure the punched edge goes in first. This will help to open the box easier.

Step 10: Your box is complete now it's time to decorate. I added the snowflake 2 die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs and sponged all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

The box is finished off with a simple piece of twine and tag I made using Whimsy Stamps Holiday Postage Stamp stamped in Tim Holtz Walnut Stain. I also added a paper rose and white liquid pearls to the edges.

Artist Spotlight

By Kathryne StampArt DesignStampArt DesignStampArt Design

Tell us a little about yourself - anything you'd like to share about you personally. I live in the beautiful Northeastern region of Ontario, Canada surrounded by many lakes, a lot of bush, and fresh northern air. It‟s been a part of my life since I was born. With winter upon us, the air is crisp – we can get tempera-tures below minus 30C with a fair share of snow, but it is truly a Winter Won-derland and I feel blessed to be living here. I have an enthusiasm for life, with a strong faith in the Lord. I enjoy daily trail walks, many starting out from my front door. Most of my time revolves around my family and the computer. One of my favourite places is the cottage. I have an affection for the outdoors, enjoying swimming, canoeing, camping. The lakes and bush surrounding me have naturally become a part of who I am. How did you start your art career? Did you always want to be an artist? I‟ve been expressing myself through art all my life. Drawing was very natural for me as a young child and I always had the desire to pursue an artists‟ ca-reer. When my children were young I started to market my artwork through cards, T-shirts, logo-creating, activity books for Sunday School programs and missionaries. I knew from this point on that drawing was something God put inside me for a bigger purpose. How did you become a digi stamp artist? What do you love most about illustrating digi stamps? My best friend of over 16 years, (who most people think is my sister,) and Whimsy‟s very own lovely, beautiful and talented, Crissy introduced me to the stamping world when she first started. I was in recovery from a severe motor vehicle accident at the time but immediately took a keen interest in the craft. I‟ve been following it these past years in recovery, always interested in new illustrations and admiring the cards made with them. It continues to fascinate me. I thoroughly enjoy seeing all the talent and creativity. How exciting to be a part of it all myself now! It‟s a great sense of accomplishment when I complete a drawing and submit it for you to enjoy. The one thing I love most about illustrating digi stamps is seeing your cards created with them. I get excited to see how you transform black-and-white images seemingly to “life” with captivating colours and embel-lishments, each a beautifully unique work of art. I appreciate so much the thought and talent that goes into making a card. They‟re gorgeous and it brings a smile to me and warms my heart every time I see a design being used. What is your absolute favorite of the Whimsy Stamps that you've illus-trated? Each design takes me on a personal adventure and I enjoy all of them, from the whimsical and animated illustrations, to the cute and adorable raggedies, to the sweet and loveable teddy bears. There are also the wildlife portrayals, which touch a place in my soul that brings me close to nature. The one design that I‟ve had the most fun with has been from December‟s release, Little Bear Winter Dress-Up Fun. My granddaughters and I have

spent countless hours enjoying this little character. We‟ve been making Christ-mas cards and playing with him as though he were an actual teddy bear! The digi‟s have been great to enable us to print Little Bear in different sizes rang-ing from a mini-size to a full-page size. We‟ve been colouring him and his clothes and having so much fun dressing him and changing his outfits. I real-ized he was a favourite to draw because I just wanted to hug him and squeeze him all the while I was drawing him! Imagine having so much fun with him afterwards too! (Aaliyah and Ariana correct me each time that Little Bear is a girl but you can choose for yourself!) Next month‟s release will be fun too with a sweater on Little Bear that you can personalize with your own name added to it! What inspires you? I am easily inspired. Nature inspires me. I get so many ideas from my walks in the bush, taking in all the surrounding beauty. Children inspire me. My grandchildren challenge me with drawings, as did my children when they were young. I am also inspired watching them creating art with uninhibited joy. Their fresh and innovative ideas are just waiting to be drawn, and I can always test the Cute Factor with them! In teaching Sunday School I also find there‟s never a lack of inspiration to give to and receive from the children. Teddy bears, bunnies and ragdolls inspire me. I can find a lot of inspiration designing and sewing these favorite stuffies. Even at a young age I enjoyed drawing Holly Hobbie posters, sewing the dolls and selling them. It‟s very likely that one of these cuddlies or their outfits that I‟ve designed to knit or sew will come to be a digi stamp conception. I‟m taking computer courses and they always inspire me to apply the new techniques to my love of art, but my biggest inspiration comes from the Lord. I seek Him for my new designs. There are so many ideas that are bubbling inside of me waiting to get out and be developed. It also inspires me to inspire you. I draw to bring pleasure to you, hoping to spread love and inspiration with each illustration. If you weren't an artist, what do you think you would like to do for a ca-reer? I have a previous dental career and I enjoy the medical field but there‟s a special spot in my heart for working with children and sharing the love of Je-sus with them. I‟ve been involved with children my whole life. I enjoy them and they enjoy being with me. Doing activities for and with children is a big part of my life and who I am. The connection we share brings a lot of love to each of us. What is the one tool/supply that is essential to my work? What I use most is pencil, paper, eraser but the absolute “tool” that I need to do digital work is my computer! It sounds so basic and obvious, but after recently having my computer ser-viced, I am so much more appreciative when I turn it on and it works; when I open my saved files and they‟re there; when the vector and graphic programs do what they‟re supposed to! You probably wouldn‟t even be reading this now if it weren‟t for having a com-puter that works! Digital arts and designing is relevant to the present and future, which makes it mandatory to have the proper technology and software. I‟m learning to never take for granted the service and enjoyment they provide for us. How would I get digi stamps to you without the computer? Would digi stamps even exist? ......................................................................................................................... Before I go, I‟d like to encourage you to fulfill desires placed in your heart. It‟s so satisfying to know you‟re doing what you‟ve been called to do. There‟s a peace and happiness that comes with enjoying what you do. Encourage your-self, children, grandchildren, friends to develop what‟s been placed inside of each of you. If it‟s drawing, then draw, draw, draw! You‟ll be amazed where it could lead you! I‟m living my dream and I‟m looking forward to sharing so much more with you. Thanks for reading a little about me!
