Are You Yeti for Christmas?

Hello my fellow card makers!
I hope you are doing well!
I have a new card today using the adorable, Yeti for Christmas set by Whimsy. I colored it using Copic Markers and Prisma Colored Pencils.  I masked off the image and used a cloud stencil.  I added stars using texture paste and the Twinkle Cluster Stencil. I kept the layout simple by just adding some fun patterned paper from the Tartan Paper Pack. 
Thank you for stopping by!

Whimsy Stamp's December Release!

Happy December!  Sometimes I feel like this has been the longest...and yet the fastest year ever!
25 days until Christmas!
So why not celebrate with a new release from Whimsy Stamps! This new Yeti for Christmas set is so much fun! I colored the image with Copic markers and added some colored pencil details.  
I layered the image over some festive paper from the 6 x 6 Tartan Paper Pack. I added some Stickles to the snowy area and the elves' hats. I kept the card simple and just added a scattering of teeny hearts from the Sweethearts Sprinkletz pack. 
Be sure to hop over to Whimsy Stamps to see their full December release!

Slimline Gossip Girls Christmas!


Hi friends!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! This year was very different for us, as I am sure it has been for all of you too. Cortney hasn't been able to come home since February, but she is happy and healthy at Misericordia.  No one came over for dinner, so we chatted on Zoom and had a glass of champagne together.  Through all of this chaos, I do feel extremely blessed.  As my grandmother used to say, "This too shall pass."
I've had a bit of time here and there in my craft room and used this awesome Gossip Holiday Girls set again.  I colored them in using Copics and added white flock for a bit of texture
I framed each girl using the new Selfie Die set in red and gold.  To "ground" the images, I used the Slimline Fancy Frame Die set and gave it a pinkish hue using Tim Holtz Festive Berries ink.  I splattered it with water.  I added gold sequins, silk ribbon, and gold jingle bells.  
For added dimension, I popped everything up using Shaker Maker Foam Tape.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Slimline Penguin Party!

Good morning friends!
Today it is feeling a bit wintery as we have gotten our first snowfall here in Chicago.
So how about a little penguin party to celebrate!
This adorable set is by Whimsy Stamps, called, Happy Feet.  Each penguin was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. 
I used the new Funky Frames Die set.  Each frame was inked up with Tim Holtz inks.  I splattered a bit of water on it.  The background inside the frame was done in blues to create the sky.  

The frame hangs on a teeny peppermint from the Santa's Treat Sprinkletz collection. 

I popped up the frame and the penguins using Shaker Maker FoamTape.  For a finishing touch I tied a vertical red ribbon and gold jingle bells. 

Be sure to head over to Whimsy to see their full November release! 
Have a great day!

Whimsy Stamps November Release!

Hello friends!
How are you all doing? Staying healthy I hope!
I have this adorable new set to share with you called, Happy Feet.  
I love these cutie pies! I colored them using Copics and cut them out using the Pierced and Stitched Circles Die set.  I added a few clear rhinestones from the Icicles Sparkletz collection.  

I added a bit of interest to their scarves with a white gel pen.  A teeny heart was glued under the sentiment.  I continued the circles with coordinating colors.  A bit of glitter was added to give the snow some sparkle.  :)
Be sure to pop on over to Whimsy to see the full release!

Party Dragon Style!

Good morning friends!
I have a fun card today to share using some awesome new products from Whimsy Stamps! I used the Dragon New Year set.  I used a no line coloring technique and fussy cut him out.  I created a shaker box using the Slimline Window Die.  I did cut part of it off to make it a shorter card. :)  I used various Tim Holtz inks to give the frame a pop of color. For the inside I wanted to give it a party feel, so I used the Twinkle Cluster Stencil. 
The top piece was glued to acetate and popped up using Shaker Maker Foam Tape.  The shaker portion was filled with Sparkletz-Crystal Stars. For a finishing touch I tied a coordinating ribbon. :)
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!
