Invaded by Bees!

Hello!

Have you seen this new stamp set by Whimsy Stamps?  It is called Bizzy Bees! AND it comes with coordinating dies. I had to color all of them, but left two out for a later card.  I used the Slimline Honeycomb die for the background.  

Behind the blue you will see a subtle honeycomb pattern.  I used the Honeycomb Drips Stencil to create some interest to the background.  Some tulle, ribbon, and a scattering of clear sequins finished the card.  

BEE sure to stop over at Whimsy Stamps! (Sorry, couldn't help myself! LOL)

Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends!

Crazy week this week and I am a day late posting!

ACK!

Whimsy had their brand new release and this Fox Family Stamp set is so sweet! I colored the image with Copics. I added some vintage lace and a leaf from the Poppy Flower Die set.  I added some dimension with Copic markers. I wanted to bring out the warm tones of the image, so I added an orangey brown card stock embossed with Diagonal Dots. 

A couple of posies, a bit of twine, and a few clear sequins finishes off the card. 

Thank you for stopping by!

Bunny Shaker Card!

Hello friends!

I am home today on an "E-Learning" day due to the impending snow storm we are supposed to get. ;) It is nice staying in my PJ's and not driving into work. 

I had this vision for my card today of my bunny diving into an ice cream, carrot, sundae! I am not sure it came out exactly the way I thought it would, but I think I still like it. I used Whimsy Stamp's Bunny Butt die.  I added glossy accents and pink flock. I created a shaker ice cream soda using the Frosty Glass Die set.  The inside of the shaker uses the sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set.  The Confetti mix I used is retired, but I linked one similar down below. 

I really wanted a carrot as part of the ice cream, so I created my own from card stock.  I cut the top with scissors and added twine. 

So what do you think? Too much? Too busy?

Have a great day my friends!!

 

Whimsy Stamps New Release!

March 1st today! This means it is Whimsy Stamp's new release day! I am in love with this new die set called, Bunny Butt.  Could there possibly be anything cuter? I used water color paper for his body and  added glossy accents and glitter to his tail.  I used the Nested Pierced Egg Die Set for the card. I used water color paper here as well and used the Smoosh method to add grays and blues.  I then used my Zig Clean Color Markers to add some grass.  

For the sentiment I used the new Easter Sentiments stamp set.  For a finishing touch I added a little posy from my stash and a bit of twine.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Vintage Style

Hello friends!

Today I have a card using Whimsy's new Slimline Stardust Die.  When I first started cardmaking, I loved creating with a vintage style.  Somehow I kind of got away from that, but today decided it was time to revisit that style.  I used Gesson to adhere old book paper to a white piece of cardstock.  It mutes the colors, like a white wash. Once it was dry, I used the Slimline Stardust die.  I then splattered it with black water color, used my sewing machine for the edges, and distressed the edges with scissors. I used Tim Holtz Foundry Wax in Gilded for the edges. 

I used the stars to create a flower. They were cut from water color paper and given a wash of pink. The Gilded Foundry Wax was used on the edges and heat set.  I stacked them and added a vintage button to the center.  The leaves are from the Wild Weeds Die set. Those were also cut from water color paper and given a wash of greens with Foundry wax on the edges.  The sentiment is part of the Acts of Kindness stamp set.   Tulle was tucked in behind my stars and a scattering of black sequins from my stash. 

It was fun going vintage on this one!

Be sure to check out Whimsy's full release! The next release is coming out in a few days. :)

 

Whimsy Stamp's New Release!

Hello friends!

I've used the new Slimline Stardust Die on water color paper and used Tim Holtz inks.  It was splattered with a bit of water and white gauche paint.  These cute little monsters are from the new Party Monsters set. They were colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out.  

I added a few sequins from the Over the Moon Confetti Mix.

Belated Birthday Wishes!

Hello friends!

I have a quick post today using Whimsy Stamp's Doggie Naughty set.  I colored the image with Copic Markers and thought it would be cute to make the ice cream into a Bomb Pop! ;)  The background was created with strips of card stock.  A ribbon and a few gem stones completed the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
