Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Good morning!
I have two cards to share with you today using these new Quick Card fronts from Whimsy Stamps. 
My first card I distressed the edges with scissors and added clear crackle paste. While it was wet I curled the edges.  After everything was dry, I added Gold Foundry Wax from Tim Holtz and embossed it.  I added a Hanukkah sentiment using the new die set. A bit of gold cording was added to finish off the card. 
For my second card, I decided to create a shaker card.  I used the Quick Card Fronts again and the Peekaboo Window Die.  I added acetate and crafty foam tape to pop up the frame of the card.  I added gold sequins, gold ribbon, and cut the sentiment into a banner. 
I always appreciate your visits! Thank you!

Merry Mail, Whimsy's New Quick Card Fronts

Hello friends!
I missed sharing Whimsy's new release last week.  I was in Disney World with my son, daughter in law, and granddaughter.  Experiencing this with my granddaughter was amazing!

Whimsy's new Quick Card Fronts, Merry Mail, are gorgeous.  I machine stitched around each card and used Sparkle Grit Paste around the perimeter.  I added a sentiment and a small red and white bow. These Quick Card Fronts don't require anything to make them beautiful, which I love! Sometimes you just need a .......well...quick card! ;)

Whimsy's New Christmas Release!

Hello friends!

I will be doing a mixture of Halloween and Christmas over the next few weeks.  I am so glad that I have been able to get a bit of time in my craft room again.  It really makes my heart happy.  AND next weekend I am heading to Disney to spend a long weekend with my kiddos and granddaughter. :) 

Today's card uses Whimsy's new stamp set called, Christmas Tickets.  I love that there are coordinating stencils too! I had to use the striped stencil to play off the candy cane theme.  I don't have the dies, but they were easy enough to fussy cut.  I paired the tickets with a light blue background that was embossed with the new Tweed Cover Plate Die.  The subtle texture is perfect.  I added a candy cane that I had glittered, along with a pink bow.  It is giving me confection vibes! 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Bad Santa! New Release!

Hello friends!
Happy October 1st!  Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day!
I am sharing a new stamp set called, Bad Santa.  The images are a riot and make me smile! I love that they come with coordinating dies too. This Santa was colored with Copics and added to the scene found in the new 6 x 6 paper pack called, Cozy Hearth.  I did a bit of machine stitching and added some chunky glitter to the edges.  Such a fun card for Christmas!

Spooky Delights

Hello friends!
I have a Halloween card to share with you today using a bunch of Whimsy products!
The die cuts are part of the Elvira Moonlighting Die set.  She was colored in with Tim Holtz inks and Copic Markers.  I wanted her to look more like the bride of Frankenstein. ;)  The background was embossed using the Bats Slimline Embossing folder.  I added a circle die in the background for the moon and a large spider web in the corner. Some pearls and big purple bow were the finishing touches. 

Thank you for popping by today!

STAMPtember!

 Hello friends!
I am excited that today is the release of Whimsy Stamp's STAMPtember stamp set in collaboration with Simon Says Stamps! 
This stamp and die set are so fun!
I was so glad I had some crafty time and ended up making 3 cards. 
My first card used the Boo stamp and die. I used a jewelry tag for the sentiment and branches from the Bat Branch Die set.  They were colored with Copic markers.  I wanted some texture for the background, so I also used the Bats Galore Slimline folder.  
My second card uses these adorable ghosts with the Boo stamp and die set.  I added some tombstones from the Build a Graveyard die set.  Cobwebs from the Witch Broom set were stamped on the tombstones. I also added a circle for the moon. The background was inked with Distress inks.  

My last card I decided to make a fun shaker card! I used the Mitered Frame set and some acetate. This Boo was so cute with her little pink bow. ;) I added some pink sequin leaves and a sheer black ribbon. 
Be sure to check out Simon Says Stamp to get your exclusive set! 
It's been so much fun!
Thanks for stopping by!

Howdy!

Howdy friends!

It is such a gorgeous weekend here in Chicago! My sister is spending the day with me and we are heading to a large craft fair near my home.  I am excited to spend some girl time with her and do one of my favorite things....shop!

Today I am sharing this adorable stamp set from Whimsy, called, Barnyard Friends.  This little cow is darling! I colored the image with Copic markers. I did some masking to place this little nugget in the bucket using the Barnyard Elements stamp set.   I added a sweet little tag, a flower from the Hibiscus die set, and some twine to the bucket.  For a finishing touch I added this wide striped ribbon. 

Enjoy your weekend friends!
