His Grace-6 Cards to Share Today!

Hello friends!

I have 6 cards to share with you today using Whimsy Stamp's new Quick Card Fronts, His Grace.  The images are absolutely stunning.  All of the cards shown have machine stitching on them.  This first set of cards uses the Mix and Match Scallop Rectangles and the Quick Strips 4 Die set for the sentiment. I added a satin ribbon and a teeny pink butterfly from the Field of Butterflies Die set. 

My next pair of cards uses the Pierced and Stitched Circles Die to create a frame.  I added the sentiment using the Quick Strips 4 dies.  I added a few clouds and a butterfly from the Field of Butterflies die set.  

This card uses the Terrific Tickets Add-Ons die to create the frame around the image.  I tied twine multiple times around the frame and found a praying hands charm in my stash. 

My last card today uses the Savior Die set to create the frame around the image. I once again used the Quick Strips 4 dies for the sentiment. I adhered an orange bow along the bottom and then tied a large silk bow.  Little red posies and string were adhered to the bow's center. 

I hope you enjoyed your visit with me today! I always appreciate you popping by!

Have a great day!

 

Sweet Ivy Turns 2!

I can't believe that my sweet granddaughter, Ivy is 2 today!  

The time moves way too fast for me!

I sent a birthday box down to Georgia and included this card I created for her. 

It uses Whimsy Stamp's Candle Numbers stamp set. I used liquid applique to create the frosting.  I cut the image out using the Spring Ovals Die set. The plaid paper is part of the Pastel Plaid paper pack. I added a little pink bow and tiny flowers from the Field of Flowers die set. 

I will get to see this sweet nugget in May! I can't wait to see her!

Thank you for stopping by today!

 

Whimsy's New Release!

Happy Sunday to you!

Today is Whimsy's New Release Day and it is all about Easter!  I combined some new stencils, dies, and papers for my card today.  Let's start with the dies, they are part of the new Bunny Silhouettes Die collection.  I gave them a hint of color with warm gray and soft pink Copics.  I outlined them in black and added Liquid Applique to their tails.  (Let it dry and heat it up for a puffy cotton tail look!) The Easter Egg die's negative space was used to stencil the egg shape.  The flowers and butterflies were stenciled using the new Terrific Tickets Bunnies stencil.  The teeny flower by the egg is from the Field of Flowers Die set.  The pretty plaid paper is so pretty as a backdrop to this image. 

I just love their little tails!

Thank you for stopping by today! 

 

Graduation Season

Hello friends! I have a quick post today sharing a card I created using Whimsy Stamp's Owl Ways Reach for the Stars stamp set. The image was colored with Copic Markers and cut out using the Stitched Circle Dies.  I  also used the new 6 x 6 papers called Pastel Butterflies. I added a large silk bow and a few black sequins to finish it off.  

Thank you as always for stopping by!

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release

Hello friends! Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day! I used a new stamp set called Hello Friend.  This little bunny was perfect for may egg shaped card.  (I used the Nested Pierced Egg Die set)

I cut the eggs out of white and pink cardstock.  On the pink cardstock I used an old retired Whimsy Stencil.  But really any smaller stencil pattern would work great as a background.  I used embossing paste and white embossing powder.  I popped the image up with Crafty Foam Tape.  I added a bit of white string and cute little pink pom pom.

Good luck

Hello friends!

I have a slimline card to share today using Whimsy's Rainbow Landscape stencil and the Terrific Slim Tickets Die. I love the ease of using the stencils and as you complete each layer, it's like magic! 

I just had to add a bit of chunky glitter to the stars and the clouds. Simple black and white twine finished off the card. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends!

I am off today and enjoying the 60 degree temps in the Chicago area.  A little spring cleaning always makes me feel like the winter blahs are over! 

I have a brand new card today to share using Whimsy Stamp's Ticket Coupon Elements and Terrific Slim Tickets Die.  I stamped everything in black on cream card stock.  I added pops of color with red, gray, and yellow Copic Markers.  The numbers are from the Candle Numbers stamp set.  My husband turns 58 in June, so I thought this would be a perfect masculine card with a vintage feel to it.  (Since he is so vintage himself! LOL) 

I have a large container of glass glitter but didn't want it to be too stark and "new" looking.  So mixed the glitter with a couple of drops of mushroom alcohol ink from Tim Holtz.  It gave it the perfect vintage shade! 

I love the look of coffee stains on cards so I took Distress ink and my water bottle.  I watered it down a bit and "inked" the bottom of my water bottle to give it a coffee stain effect.  I added a few splatters and a bit of grit paste to the edges.
