Thanks Snow Much!

Hello!
I have a card to share today that I should have shared a week ago when we got 14 inches of snow! ;) These little snow birds just make me smile.  It is part of Whimsy's Warm Winter Birds set.  I stamped it on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with a no line ink.  I colored it using my Zig Clean Color markers. 
For the background I masked off the image and used two stencils.  I cut the clouds out of heavy cardstock using the Grass and Cloud Edger Die set.  I used it as my stencil.  I had this heart stencil in my stash and went over it with a light pink ink. I then stamped the sentiment in black ink for a bold contrast. A few layers of card stock and my card was done.  :)
Thank you so much for stopping by! My supply list is short today, but be sure to check out Whimsy's site for all of their goodies!

Thinking of You

Hello friends!
Happy Thursday to you!
Today is Whimsy Stamp's release day and I have this awesome new background stamp called Fruity Background. I stamped it on water color paper with black ink.  I colored it using my Zig Clean Color Markers.  I framed it using the new Connected Tiles Frame Die.  I adhered everything to the card.  I did give it a bit of splatter with black water color. The tiny hearts were cut with the "extra" background and the Stethoscope Die set.  I love the size of these hearts!
Since I had colored the entire background, but didn't need all of it for this card I cut out the "extra" lemons, added chunky glitter, string, and this adorable little lemon for the center of the bow. It comes from the Confetti Mix, Squeeze the Day.  Total deliciousness!
Thank you for popping by!

Your Love is Better Than Ice Cream!

Hello my crafty friends!
I hope you are all doing well!
I have a quick post today featuring some fun new products from Whimsy Stamps.  First is this adorable stamp set called, Doggie Valentine Friends.  It was stamped on water color paper with a no line ink.  I used the new Speckled Background Stamp, (I had masked off the pups before stamping) 
I Stamped the sentiment on one of the hearts I had die cut using the Heartbeats Die Set.  I popped it up with Crafty Foam Tape and added a teeny heart.  The yellow gingham paper is from the Mix N Match Paper Pack.   I love the smaller patterns perfect for card making!

It was 14 degrees here the other day....which seemed like a perfect day to get ice cream! LOL

Thank you friends, for stopping by today!

My Funny Valentine

Good morning!
I am on my second snow day as we saw about 10 inches of snow over the last 36 hours! 
It was a crazy amount of snow, but fortunately, I was able to work from home and not risk driving in it.
Today I have a Valentine's Day card using some fun new Whimsy Stamps! It was fun and a bit experimental. I have been using the metal dies as stencils. (Yesterday's post too!) I Gesso'd vintage book paper to a blue gingham paper from the 6 x 6 Mix n Match collection.  I then used the Slimline Hearts Background Die as a stencil with Crackle Texture Paste. 
Once it was dry I added some random water colors over it.  This adorable little pup is from the Doggie Valentine Friends.  I used my Zig Clean Color Markers and fussy cut him.   I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and cut the end at an angle. 
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Vintage Malarkey

Hello my sweet friends!
I have a St. Patrick's Day card to share today using the new Malarkey Word Die from Whimsy Stamps.  I love that this set comes with the hat too.  I went back to my comfort zone and went a bit vintage.  I used water colors and paint splatters for the hat.  The word was cut using black card stock and green glittery paper.  I offset them a bit so it would pop off the card.  
For the background I used old vintage paper, my sewing machine for some wonky stitching, and I used the new Slimline Shamrock Background die.  But I decided to use it as a stencil with crackle texture paste  I love the interest it gives to the background.  It just makes you want to reach out and touch it! I added a few confetti pieces to finish off the card.  And by the way, these are so delicious in person! 
Thank you for stopping by today! Be sure to check out Whimsy Stamps for their full release!
Have a great day. :)

Feel Better

Hello my friends!
I have a fun slimline shaped card using the new Big Boo Boo die set, from Whimsy Stamps.  I love that this card is the shape of a Band-Aid! It just makes me smile looking at it..  :) I wanted the center to sort of act as a frame, for this adorable image and sentiment. These cutie pies come from the Gnome Think Spring set.  I stamped them with a no line ink and used my Zig Clean Color Markers.  
I added a few extra Band-Aids, hearts, and a sentiment from the Big Boo Boo stamp set. 
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Rainbow Band Aids!

Hello and happy Thursday to you! It is crazy that it is already January 20th! 
That means it is Whimsy Stamp's release day!
I have a card today that uses only dies. No stamping! GASP! 
I used the new die set called, Slimline BooBoo.  I chose rainbow order because nowadays Band-Aids come in all sorts of fun colors! Gone are the days of boring beige Band-Aids! The centers of the Band-Aids were cut using water color paper and a light flesh colored Zig marker. 
The frame and the sentiment in the center are from the Slimline Heartbeats Die released earlier this month. 
Be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps to see their full release! You are going to LOVE all of it!!
