Whimsy Stamp's New Release

Hello!

Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day!

Back in May I had to say goodbye to my sweet boy, Skippers.  He was 18 and lived a long healthy life.  Unfortunately, he crossed that Rainbow Bridge. 

This past October we got a new pup and named him Bourbon.  He is a bundle of energy and pretty mischievous.  But he has added some life to our house and I love him to pieces!

For those of you who have lost fur babies or need to send a card to someone who just lost theirs, this set, Rainbow Angel is perfect.  I stamped her on Copic friendly paper and fussy cut her. The paper is part of the Rainbow Bridge collection.  I cut the frame using the new Rainbow Bridge Die set. 

My second card uses the same products, but instead of using only Copics, I stamped the angel on the rainbow paper and cut her out.  I love that her wings and dress are bright and colorful.  I added a touch of glossy accents and glitter to her wings.  

My lil' Bourbon guy.

Post Christmas Penguins!

Hello there!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

This year our Christmas wasn't as joyous as Christmas's past. We are dealing with aging parents and their health is declining. Some difficult decisions are being made, and it is stressful to say the least.  

My son was unable to make it home for the holiday, which meant I couldn't celebrate my granddaughter's first Christmas. Thank goodness for Facetime at least. 

Anyway, my lack of posts is due to my life being a bit hectic lately.

I made these cards awhile ago but never got to posting them.  This set, Penguin Winter Holiday, from Whimsy Stamps, is so cute I had to make a card for each of them. :)

Each image was colored with Copic Markers and cut out using a basic circle and scallop die. Liquid applique was added to their hats and glitter sprinkled over it while it was still wet. 

Each background was done with Tim Holtz Distress spray in Picked Raspberry.  I did some machine stitching to finish it off. 

Thank you for hanging in there with me!

Have a wonderful week and Happy New Year!

 

Merry Stressmas

I love Christmas and everything it means, but if I am honest, I also find it stressful.  

It is a busy and hectic time of the year.  So hopefully you can relate to my card today!

This set is from Whimsy Stamps and it is called, Merry Stressmas.  I used Copics to color him in and added some of the sentiments around him.  I also used liquid applique for his hot cocoa and some glitter for the snow.  I used the Holly Frame die and some of Tim Holtz metallic green paper.  I gave it a bit of sanding to distress the edges a bit.  Twine and jingle bells were added as a finishing touch. 

Have a wonderful week!

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends!

Not sure how many people actually come here for a visit, but I am hoping a few still do.  ;) Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release.  Their new stamp set called, Cow Crazy is adorable! I colored this CC (Cute Cow) with Copic Markers.  I cut the image out using the new Loopdidoos 3 die cut.  I added the word Yikes as part of the sentiment.  To add just a bit of interest to the background, I used the Brick Pattern Stencil.  

If you haven't yet seen the new release, be sure to pop on over to Whimsy Stamps! 

Thank you for coming by!

 

Lava Lamp Card

Hello friends!  Whimsy Stamps just came out with some fun new products! Being a child of the 70's this lava lamp die was right up my alley! I have a thing for shaped cards anyway, so I had a lot of fun creating this one. I used the new Good Vibes Die set for my sentiment.  I colored it with Copics and gave it a coating of glossy accents. The background paper is from the Lava Slimline pack. 

I added a piece of acetate to the front and adhered it to the lava paper using Crafty Foam Tape to create the shaker.  The little flowers are from my stash, but felt they fit the retro vibe perfectly! 

Thank you for stopping by! :)

 

Primitive Blessing Card

Hello friends!

I have a quick post today.  (Is there any other kind lately with me?) My card uses the Primitive Quick Card fronts from Whimsy Stamps.  The images are so colorful and fun! I made it a bit more vintage by tearing the edges, machine stitching and adhering bits of lace behind the tears.  I added a bit of gingham ribbon, some old buttons, and attached it to a black card. 

Thank you for continuing to visit here.  I know lately my posts are sporadic. :)
