Collaboration and Instagram Hop-Whimsy Stamps and Cardstock Warehouse!

Hello friends!

I am excited to be a part of a fun Instagram hop between Whimsy Stamps and Cardstock Warehouse!

Cardstock Warehouse has quality card stock and the prices are really reasonable! I used Whimsy's Gnome Think Spring stamp set with the Merry-Go-Round card stock collection.  I love the fun bright colors of the Merry-Go-Round collection! They just make me happy! The image was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut. I cut the papers into 1/4 inch strips and adhered them to printer paper.  This assures that it won't be too thick to put through a die cut machine. I used the pierced and stitched circles die and adhered my little gnome and butterfly.  I added a few teeny hearts from the Sweetheart Sparkletz collection and tiny grapefruit slice to the center of my bow. 

My second card is similar but I used the Wavy Pierced Rectangles Die and the Unicorn Kisses stamp set.  I colored it with Copics and added polka dots with Copics and Stickles.  I used another teeny heart under the sentiment, and a silk ribbon to tie it all together.  :)

   

    

      

 

 

My Sweet Friend

Hello!

I am excited to share Whimsy Stamp's March release with you!

Who doesn't like an adorable gnome hugging an even more adorable bunny? The set is called, Gnome Think Spring.   I did a no line coloring technique.  I colored the image using Karin Brushmarkers. 

I stamped the sentiment and added teeny hearts from the Sweetheart Sprinkletz. 

I layered everything with Crafty Foam Tape. I also used the new Bokeh Bliss 6x6 paper.

Oh and by the way......Kyle graduated Boot Camp!!! Hooooyah!

 

Celebrate!

Good morning friends!

I meant to share this yesterday for St. Paddy's Day, but let's just say that yesterday was a crazy day!

I finally heard from my son, and he announced that he is indeed, officially, a SAILOR! Today he has his graduation.  I am sad I don't get to attend, but it will be aired on Friday for all of the families to watch.  I am over the moon with how much he has grown, matured, and accomplished over the last 12 weeks. 

So that is why my intentions to post yesterday, did not happen. ;)

My card today uses Whimsy Stamp's new Slimline Clouds Die.  I layered it over the St. Patrick's Day Slimline paper.   I used an image from the Dragon New Year Stamps.   It was colored with Copics and fussy cut. 

I covered the balloon with glossy accents and sprinkled a bit of glitter over it.  I added black string and a teeny heart from the Sweetheart Sprinkletz collection.   Shamrocks were added from the Lucky Charms Sparkletz collection. 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Spring Has Sprung!

Good morning and happy weekend!

I have some new Whimsy Stamp's products to share with you today!

First, is this beautiful new die called, Magnolia. I used Karin Brushmarkers on water color paper and then cut it out using the Magnolia die.  I placed it over another water colored panel.  I was going for a watery effect. ;) 

I stamped a tag using the Spring Birds Clear Stamp set. I gave it a wash of water color and tied it to my vertical bow with a bit of string. I added pearls to the centers of the magnolias for a final touch. 

Be sure to pop on over to Whimsy Stamps to see the full release! 

** My son is less than a week away from graduating Boot Camp! :) **

 

 

Whimsy Stamp's March Release! Hello Spring!

Hello friends!

I hope you are doing well!

Today is March 10th and that means it is time for Whimsy Stamp's new release! 

This new pocket die is such a fun die to work with! Who doesn't like pockets? It is perfect for a bit of cash or a cute gift card!

I paired the new pocket die with the new 6 x 6 Eggstra Bunnies papers.  I layered everything on white folded cardstock.  I stamped Hello Spring from the new Spring Birds stamp set.  

I wanted to add a little somethin' somethin' to my card so I cut felt flowers and leaves from the Poppy Flower Die set.   I added a glittery button from the Kinetic Basics Dies, to the center and tied pink tulle around the top of the pocket. 

Be sure to hop by the Whimsy Store to see the full release! So many fun stamps and dies!

The Lord and Savior

Good morning! 

I have another card to share with you, told you these sets were my favorite! ;)

I used the Savior Dies and Savior Stamp set to create my Slim line card. 

I water colored the back panel in colors of a sunrise.  I framed it out using the Slimline Scenic Countryside Die.   The sentiment was directly stamped on the cross.  

I added some Copic coloring to add depth to the die cuts.  Everything was assembled using Crafty Foam Tape.

Alpha and the Omega

Hello friends!

It's been a few days since I've posted.  Life seems to get in the way at times.

I got to see my daughter, Cortney, and this Mama was a happy, happy girl!

My son is two weeks from graduating Boot Camp. His letters indicate that he is doing well. Thriving actually.  He said his confidence has gone up exponentially.

I have Him to thank for answering my prayers.

The Alpha and the Omega.

This new set from Whimsy Stamps really speaks to my heart and is perfect for Easter.

I used the Savior Die set and the Savior Clear Stamps.

The pieces were die cut and I did add a bit of Copic coloring to add depth.  

The background was created using the Sun Rays stencil.  

I added three circles using the Pierced and Stitched Circle Dies.  Twine was tied and rhinestones were added for a finishing touch.  

Thank you for stopping by for a visit!
