Big Hogs!

Hello and happy Saturday to you!

Yesterday was my last day of school! I can't believe we made it through this crazy year! ;)

My card uses the new Piggies Background stamp from Whimsy. I stamped it with Versamark and embossed it in white.  I used my Karin Brushmarkers to give it color. I cut the panel into two pieces.  I used the Big Hugs Word Die set.  I replaced the u with an o to have a play on words! 

The little flowers were from the Slimline Meadow Die set.  They add a sweet touch to an otherwise silly card.  :)

Please be sure to check out Whimsy's June release! So much fun over there!

Have a great weekend!

 

Whimsy's June Release!

Today is June 1st! That means only 6 more days of school and Whimsy Stamp's June release! I used this fun set called Hee Haw! I colored this crazy cow with Copics and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I stamped the sentiment on red card stock with Versamark ink and embossed it in white.  For the background I used the Cow Print background stamp.  It was also stamped with Versamark, but embossed in black.  

I layered everything with Crafty Foam tape, added glossy accents to his eyes, and tied a sheer ribbon around the card. 

Be sure to head on over to Whimsy to see the full release!

Have a great week!

 

Bee-utiful!

Good morning and happy Sunday to you!

I have a fun shaker card using some older products from Whimsy Stamps.  I used the Bee Hive Rubber Cling Stamp and colored it with Copics. The sentiment and bee were part of the Bee-utiful Bees set. 

For the background I used the Honeycomb stencil, then cut the center out using the Hexagon die.  I glued acetate behind it.  I filled the center with sequins from my stash and clear droplets.  It was adhered to the card with Crafty Foam tape for added dimension.  String was tied to the top for a final touch.  

Be sure to check back tomorrow for Whimsy's June release!

And did I mention that Cortney got to come home for the WHOLE weekend? It has been so lovely having her home! I can't stop hugging her!

Hello friends!  Just a quick post today using some new products from Whimsy Stamps! I stamped the new Dainty Daisies background stamp with Versamark on black paper and embossed it in white.  I colored each of the flowers with the Karin Brushmarkers in metallics.  The frame and sentiment are part of the Doodle Frames Clear Stamp set, embossed in white.

I added a couple of flowers from the FaDoodle Flowers set.  The leaves are from the Build-a-Pumpkin set.  Silk ribbon and a few rhinestones were my finishing touches.

Everything Succs Without You!

Good morning and happy Sunday!

I have a card today using some fun new products from Whimsy Stamps.  This adorable stamp set is called, Succ it Up. ;)  I colored each of the plants with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. 

I inked up some card stock in shades of pink, orange, and yellow.  I used the new Wonky Window 4 die to cut them out.  The frame was popped up using Crafty Foam Tape as well as each of the plants.  I love the snarkiness of the sentiment and stamped it directly on the panel with black ink.  I incorporated the new Bug Hugs die.  I inked it up in shades of green and yellow, popped it up with Crafty Foam Tape, and gave it a generous coating of glossy accents. As a finishing touch I adhered a sprinkling of clear gems and aqua hearts from the Hugs and Kisses Sparkletz collection. 

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

Have a great day friends!

National Teen Self Esteem Hop!

Hello friends!

This month is National Teen Self Esteem Awareness. 

Being a teen is rough, especially in these days.  

So a group of talented crafters have created cards to spread some joy and awareness! The hop is taking place on Instagram.  There are lots of prizes being given away from our sponsors,(Whimsy Stamps included), so be sure to check out Instagram! (The info will be listed below!) 

For my card, I used Whimsy Stamps Atlas Jar Clear Stamps.  I inked it with Speckled Egg ink from Time holtz.  For the inside of the jar I used the mushrooms and butterfly from the Polka Dot Pals Imogen set.  It was colored with Copics and white gel pen was used for the dots.  I fussy cut the jar. 

I added leaves and a flower using the Peony Flower Die.  I cut it with water color paper and used my Karin Brushmarkers to add color.  I folded and bent the petals and leaves, stacked them, and glued them to the edge of the jar.  I tucked silk ribbon and string between the flowers and leaves. For the background I used the 6 x 6 paper from the Eggstra Bunnies collection.  To "ground" the jar I did add a white rounded rectangle with white paper. For a finishing touch, I added a doily, and a few Sparkletz stars. 

The information for the Instagram Hop are below.  :)
