Sending Smiles

Hello friends!

Happy Friday!

I have a quick post using Whimsy Stamp's Lady Bugs stamp set.  I used Copics and then the coordinating dies to cut them out.  Stickles were added to their spots. 

I used the Pierced and Stitched Circles dies for the background.  

Just a quick post today!

I'll be back with another this weekend! :)

 

Whimsy's New Release Part 2!

Happy Thursday to you!

I am still recovering at home and missing my kiddos at school. 

But I am taking this time to slow down, pump the brakes, and use this time to recharge a bit.

I have been parked in my craft room quite a bit and loving this new release from Whimsy Stamps, Give a Sip.  I love these cute critters and love coffee even more! :)

I used Copics and added a heart background with a heart stencil.  

This little guy looks like he is enjoying his coffee maybe a little TOO much, so I added the Slurp! Word Die.   I had mentioned that I store all of the hearts that are cut using the Slimline Hearts Background Die.  Well, once again I had to incorporate one of those hearts in the sentiment.  :)

As always, I appreciate you popping by and making me part of your day!

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends!

Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day! So many fun new products!

I used this adorable new set called, Give a Sip. I colored this cutie in with Copics and stamped the sentiment directly under him.  

I kept the layout pretty simple, but did add a pom pom to his hat and a heart that was die cut from the Slimline Hearts Background Die.  I have an envelope where I store all of the hearts to use on future projects. ;) 

Be sure to stop over at Whimsy Stamps to see their full release! 

Have a great day my friends!

 

No Line Coloring Birthday card

Happy Sunday to you all!

During my recovery I have been able to do some coloring and crafting while I heal. 

I always need birthday cards and this little guy was just begging to be colored.  

He is part of Whimsy Stamp's Jungle Birthday set. I stamped him in a no line coloring ink.  I used my Zig Clean Brush markers on Bristol paper to bring him to life.  I cut an oval out of masking paper and placed it over my image.  I used a stencil from Whimsy that is now retired.  (I apologize!) But any of their stencils in the background would look great here!

I added a few sequins from the Cozy Winter Confetti collection and Stickles to the balloon.  

Thank you for stopping by today! 

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

 

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. :)

You won't want to miss the full Whimsy Stamp's release! Be sure to pop on over!

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!!
