Jingle Owl the Way!

 Good morning! 

I feel like it's been a hot minute since my last post.  Life has been extremely busy and I think maybe I need to hire a secretary for my life.  ;)

I have a card today featuring Whimsy Stamp's newest set called, Happy Owlidays! The images are so stinking cute!

I used Prisma Colored pencils to bring this little cutie to life.  I used a fine black felt tip pen to draw in the lashes, eyes, beak, and bells.  I filled in the antlers, bells, and eyes with glossy accents. I added Stickles to create snow and even added snowflakes to the background. 

I layered the card stock with Crafty Foam Tape and tied a silk ribbon to the top.  I embellished it with red/white twine and a couple of red jingle bells. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed in white.   

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy, Colorful, Fall!

Hi friends!

Hope you had a great week!

I have a new card using Whimsy Stamp's new Falling Leaves Background stamp.  I stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it in white.  I used my Zig Clean Color markers.  I decided a non traditional color scheme, as I think I am still a bit in "summer mode." I added a few water colored leaves from the Build-a-Pumpkin-Patch set.   I added a strip of white card stock, ribbon, leaves and a few gold sequins. I layered everything using Crafty foam tape. 

The sentiment was cut using the Bold ABC Die set and a happy die from my stash. I added Stickles to the word, Fall for added sparkle.   

Thanks so much for visiting today!

Vintage Fall

Good morning!

I have a new fall card using Whimsy Stamp's September releases! I used their awesome new die set called, Build-a-Pumpkin Patch.   I used my Zig Clean Color markers to bring the die cuts to life.  Once everything was dry, I splattered white acrylic paint.  

I used the new Slimline Marquee die with kraft card stock.  I love the wonky windows of this die! I backed each window with vintage music paper.  I adhered a piece of a paper doily to each window.  I adhered the pumpkins with Crafty Foam tape for added dimension.  

I added twine and pearls to each pumpkin/leaves cluster.  The thanks is from the Thanks Word and Shadow Die.  

Thank you so much for stopping by!

New Release From Whimsy Stamps!

Good morning! Today is my 48th birthday! My husband took me away this past weekend to downtown Chicago.  We kayaked on the Chicago River, walked our beautiful city, had pizza, and went to a Comedy Club.  I am truly blessed to be married to a man for 26 years and still treat me like we are still dating.  :)

My card today uses Whimsy's new die set, Build-a-Pumpkin Patch.  I die cut everything using water color paper.  I colored it using Zig Clean Color Markers. 

After everything was dry, I splattered white acrylic paint over everything. I assembled the leaves and twine at the stem. 

The sentiment was stamped from an old sentiment stamp I had in my stash.  I cut the ends to look like a banner and tucked it under the leaves.  

Have a wonderful day today! Thank you for stopping my little corner!

Halloween-Whimsy Stamp's September Release!

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I am excited to share Whimsy Stamp's new September release, Candle Creeps! I love the different candles that come in this set. They are all interchangeable on the candelabra, which is so much fun! I stamped the image with black Memento ink and colored it with Copic markers. 

I sponged the background with Tim Holtz Distress ink and splattered a bit of water.  The "table" that the candelabra sits on was done with Copics. I added a few sequins and squeezed Stickles in the centers of the sequins, flames, and spider web.  I had a spider sequin in my stash that was perfect to hang off the candle. A bit of black twine finished the card off. :)I used Crafty Foam tape in between the layers. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Color My World!

Hello friends!

I have a quick post to share with you today using my new favorite set by Whimsy Stamps, Artist Toolkit.  I stamped the brushes, colored them in with Copics, added glossy accents to the handles and Stickles to the bristles.  I added a rainbow using the new die, Array of Rainbows.  

I wanted to add a bit of interest to the background so I stamped the new Marble Background stamp in Memento black. I adhered the layers with Crafty Foam tape and added a few rhinestones from my stash. I also added Stickles to the clouds for additional sparkle. 

Have a great day!

Listen to Your Art!

Hello friends!

Hope you had a great week! Today I have a card using my favorite new set from Whimsy Stamps, Artist Toolkit! I stamped the images in a light grey ink and water colored them.  I fussy cut them out and added glossy accents to the paint portion. 

I used the new Array of Rainbows die set.  I cut the rainbow and stars out of water colored paper and water colored it.  I wanted to add a bit of interest to the background so I stamped the new Marble Background stamp in light grey. I stamped the sentiment in black Memento ink and adhered the rainbow, paint, and stars.  I added a few star Sparkletz too. :)
