Slimline Shaker Card!

Hello friends! Hope you all are doing well!

I am still recovering from surgery, and you know the expression, slow and steady wins the race?  Yep that's me.  Slow recovery, but each day gets a teensy bit better. I have a card I created before my surgery using Whimsy Stamp's Valentine Pets set. It has the most darling images.  This little pup reminds me a bit of our King Charles Cavalier, Myla.  I colored her with Copics and fussy cut her. I used "Myla" to replace the "O" in LOVE.  This is a new die cut, Love Heart, from Whimsy Too! So much fun!

The shaker element uses packaging from my slimline dies and the new slimline paper, SurReally Cool Sweetheart. I also used this paper for the letters and then decided my pinks were a bit off.  So I Copic colored them to make them a deeper red/pink.  Copics work great on this paper! I filled the shaker with some, This Calls for Confetti, Hugs & Kisses Mix. Ribbon was tied to the top and this card was done! :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check out Whimsy's entire January 1st release!

    

 

Punny Valentine

Happy New Year friends!

I am currently recovering from surgery and each day gets a little better.  :)

With the start of a new year means a new release from Whimsy Stamps!

I used the new Valentine Pets set.  I colored this sweet horse using Copics. I fussy cut the image out and decided to use the Slimline Hearts Background Die for the backdrop.  

I stamped the sentiment, added some pretty coordinating ribbon, and called this card done. :)

Hope you all have a healthy, happy New Year! 

 

Sweet Gingerbread

Hello friends!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I have a quick post today sharing a card that I created before Christmas.  I used the Hey, Sugar! set from Whimsy Stamps.  I colored this cutie with Copic and used the coordinating die.  I created a shaker card using Crafty Foam Tape, acetate, and the Sparkle Gems.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a wonderful NEW YEAR!!

 

Snowy Scene

Were you part of the blizzard?

Chicago didn't get as much snow as predicted, but the cold and wind are no joke!

I love this scene from Whimsy Stamps.  It is called Blissful Winter.  I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it in black.  I added a bit of color to the lamp posts with a Copic.  I also added texture paste to the edges and the lamp posts.  I kept the layout simple by adding a gingham bow and hot pink jingle bells.  :)

I gotta get back to the kitchen to finish my cooking for Christmas Eve! 

I am hoping to post one more card, but just in case, have a very Merry Christmas!

 

Are You a Cat Person?

Good morning!

I have two cards today using Whimsy Stamp's Cat Do Christmas set. These naughty cats are adorable! (Coming from a "noncat" person! LOL) 

I kept the layouts fairly simple to keep the focus on the image.  I used Copics and cut out the image with the Rounded Rectangles die.   I love the striped paper in the background! This is from the 6 x6 Mix n Match Neutral Pack.

For my second card, I again colored the image with Copics. The background was embossed using the Holly Embossing Folder.    A couple of jingle bells were added for a festive touch.  :)

Thank you for stopping by!

If you are a prayerful person, please add me to your list.  I would really appreciate it. :)

 

Bold Congratulations

Happy Saturday friends!

Just a quick post today. 

I have been dealing with a few health issues and my time has been focused outside of crafting for the time being.  So please be patient.  

I have all Whimsy Products today from their December release.  Links below. :)

The background was water colored and lots of different dies used to put my card together.  

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release! Artic Friends!

Hello friends!

Happy weekend to you!  Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release! I used the new Arctic Friends stamp set.  This little penguin is so dang cute. I stamped him 3 times and colored them with Copics.  I used the snowflake stamp to give the background a bit of interest.  I cut the image out using the Antique Frames Die set. 

The background paper is part of the Mix n Match paper pack.  I love the purples and blues together! I added a frosty looking ribbon and some Stickles for the snow.  

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! I am heading downtown Chicago to bring on my holiday cheer at the KrisKringle Market and some dinner! 

Be sure to check out Whimsy's full release!
