Slimline Gossip Girls Christmas!

Hi friends!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! This year was very different for us, as I am sure it has been for all of you too. Cortney hasn't been able to come home since February, but she is happy and healthy at Misericordia.  No one came over for dinner, so we chatted on Zoom and had a glass of champagne together.  Through all of this chaos, I do feel extremely blessed.  As my grandmother used to say, "This too shall pass."

I've had a bit of time here and there in my craft room and used this awesome Gossip Holiday Girls set again.  I colored them in using Copics and added white flock for a bit of texture. 

I framed each girl using the new Selfie Die set in red and gold.  To "ground" the images, I used the Slimline Fancy Frame Die set and gave it a pinkish hue using Tim Holtz Festive Berries ink.  I splattered it with water.  I added gold sequins, silk ribbon, and gold jingle bells.  

For added dimension, I popped everything up using Shaker Maker Foam Tape.  

Thank you for stopping by today!

Slimline Penguin Party!

Good morning friends!

Today it is feeling a bit wintery as we have gotten our first snowfall here in Chicago.

So how about a little penguin party to celebrate!

This adorable set is by Whimsy Stamps, called, Happy Feet.  Each penguin was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. 

I used the new Funky Frames Die set.  Each frame was inked up with Tim Holtz inks.  I splattered a bit of water on it.  The background inside the frame was done in blues to create the sky.  

The frame hangs on a teeny peppermint from the Santa's Treat Sprinkletz collection. 

I popped up the frame and the penguins using Shaker Maker FoamTape.  For a finishing touch I tied a vertical red ribbon and gold jingle bells.

Have a great day!

 

Whimsy Stamps November Release!

Hello friends!

How are you all doing? Staying healthy I hope!

Today is Whimsy Stamps release day! 

I have this adorable new set to share with you called, Happy Feet.  

I love these cutie pies! I colored them using Copics and cut them out using the Pierced and Stitched Circles Die set.  I added a few clear rhinestones from the Icicles Sparkletz collection.  

I added a bit of interest to their scarves with a white gel pen.  A teeny heart was glued under the sentiment.  I continued the circles with coordinating colors.  A bit of glitter was added to give the snow some sparkle.  :)

Party Dragon Style!

Good morning friends!

I have a fun card today to share using some awesome new products from Whimsy Stamps! I used the Dragon New Year set.  I used a no line coloring technique and fussy cut him out.  I created a shaker box using the Slimline Window Die.  I did cut part of it off to make it a shorter card. :)  I used various Tim Holtz inks to give the frame a pop of color. For the inside I wanted to give it a party feel, so I used the Twinkle Cluster Stencil. 

The top piece was glued to acetate and popped up using Shaker Maker Foam Tape.  The shaker portion was filled with Sparkletz-Crystal Stars. For a finishing touch I tied a coordinating ribbon. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a great day!

 

Holiday Slimline Card!

Good morning friends!

I have a new slimline card to share with you using some new products from Whimsy Stamps. This Fairy Sweet image is from Crissy Armstrong.  I colored her using Copic markers and fussy cut her.  I used the new Slimline Scenic Countryside die set for the frame and snow hills.  I added glossy accents and glitter to the frame and tops of the snow hills.  The background is from the new 6 x 6 paper pack, Blurry Flurries. 

This sweet gal and her friend were popped up using Shaker Maker Foam Tape. Crystal Stars and one teeny heart were added as a finishing touch to the card. 

Anyone have their Christmas tree up yet?  I am so ready to decorate and make my home cozy!

Be sure to stop by Whimsy Stamps to see the entire release!

Have a great weekend!

  






 

 

Party Like a Dragon!

Today is November 10th, which means it is time for Whimsy Stamp's new release! This adorable set is called, Dragon New Year.  I just love this guy drinking out of the punch bowl!  Lately, that's what I want to do.... ;) 

He was colored with Copic Markers. I added glossy accents to the bowl and cups.  I stamped the sentiments in coordinating colors. 

I backed the image with the new Tartan Paper.  Sheer ribbon was tied at the top, and a few hearts from the Sweethearts Sprinkletz collection. 

Be sure to head over to the Whimsy Store to see the full release! You will LOVE it!

 

Magical Winter

Happy Monday!

I have a new card today using Whimsy Stamp's new Slimline Scenic Countryside Die!

I loved playing with all of the different pieces of this set and seeing the scene come together.  I colored each of the pieces with Copic Markers.  I backed each of the buildings with yellow paper for a soft glow. Glitter was adhered to the roof tops with glossy accents.  The night sky was created using water color paper and Tim Holtz inks.  I splattered it with diluted white acrylic paint.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed in white. 

I used Shaker Maker Foam tape to pop up some of the houses and the horses for a bit of added dimension. I added a few stars from the Lucky Charms Sparkletz collection. For finishing touch I tied gold cording and a couple of jingle bells to make it a bit more festive. ;)
