Mary

I have a card for Whimsy Stamps today.  It is an adorable image by Sylvia Zet called Mary.  I just love this one, she is so sweet!  And she was lots of fun to colour too :)

The sentiment is from a new clearly Whimsy set by Raindrop Echo Designs called Simple Sentiments.
I did some distressing on this one, which I don't do very often, and I like how it turned out.
I also used a Whimsy Corner die.

Sometimes a card turns out exactly as you'd hoped.  This is one of those times :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Mary,  Simple Sentiments
Card : x-press it, black, Summer Stories (Teresa Collins)
Ink : tuxedo black, antique linen distress ink
Other : Whimsy Corner die, Marvellous Squares (SB), SU ribbon (ret.), copics

Hummingbird Ring

I have a card today for Bunny Zoe's Crafts to show you.
I have used a beautiful High Hopes stamp called Hummingbird Ring.

I think you could make a gorgeous set of cards for somebody with this stamp.  Perhaps using the same card design but changing the bird's colouring and sentiment on each card.

I used the new Whimsy sentiment set Everyday Moments, a Prima Sun Kiss button and my copics to colour (of course)  :)
The papers are from the gorgeous Summer Stories pad by Teresa Collins.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Hummingbird Ring (High Hopes), Everyday Moments (Whimsy)
Card : baja, x-press it, Summer Stories pad by Teresa Collins
Ink : memento black, pool party
Other : big shot, marvellous square (SB), Prima Sun Kiss button , copics, hemp cord

I would like to enter my card into these challenges :
High Hopes - animal (I am assuming a bird counts?)
Top Tip Tuesday - stitching

Thanks for dropping by today :)

Winter Friends

It's challenge time again at Whimsy Stamps and it's an easy one this month - Anything Goes.
There are great prizes to be won too, so please join us :)


I decided to use a beautiful new release Whimsy Stamp by Sylvia Zet called Winter Friends.
It is such a gorgeous stamp.  I love it!!!  Aren't they all so cute!

I had lots of fun colouring this one with my copics.
I used a gold spica pen for her head band and around the boots so that is a little sparkly in real life.
I used the Holiday Sliders 3 set again for the sentiment but just cut around the oval shape instead of using the whole stamp.
The snow is a mixture of shabby white and shaved ice fran-tage and the flourish is the Large Leafy Flourish Die from Whimsy Stamps.


Ingredients :

Stamps :  Winter Friends, Holiday Sliders 3 
Card  :  grey, black, lucky lime-aid, x-press it, Mistletoe Magic (MME)
Ink  :  memento black
Other  :  big shot, Large Leafy Flourish Die, marvellous squares (SB), shabby white fran-tage, shaved ice fran-tage, gold spica, copics

True Friends

Aren’t these two cute!!!
This is a very sweet stamp by Sylvia Zet called Beau and Bashful.  They are part of the new release at Whimsy Stamps this month.
And I love them and so do my girls of course :)




I decided to colour them in blue and purple because I love this colour combination and I have just added a couple of copics to my BV and BG collections and wanted to try them out.  And at Bunny Zoe’s Crafts the challenge this month is to add something blue and I wanted to play along :)
There are so many fun ways you could colour these two and they could be used for lots of different occasions.
It’s a great stamp!

Card : wisteria, x-press it, subtles core'dinations, subtle dsp stack, black

Inspiring Apple

Hello and welcome to the

Whimsy Stamps September Release Review Day Blog Hop!

Yesterday (18 September) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, Shapeology dies and Whimsy Designer Paper packs. From 17 September until today the Whimsy Stamps DT are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily blog hop!

I decided to use a beautiful new stamp by Elisabeth Bell called Apple Dumpling.
Isn't she so sweet!!!

I also used the new set from Raindrop Echo called Holiday Sliders 3 again.  As you can probably tell, that sentiment doesn't come with the set, it is actually from Treasured Moments Tickets.  I just cut the sentiment out in an oval and placed it on top.  There are lots of smaller sentiments that could be used with the Holiday Sliders set this way, such as ones in the mini letter seals and ticket sets. So it is a great Christmas set but it also means you have a beautiful frame for your sentiments that you can use throughout the year.


Ingredients :

Stamps : Apple Dumpling, Holiday Sliders 3, Treasured Moments Tickets
Card : Black, x-press it, blushing bride, Delightful (Authentique)
Ink : memento black
Other : big shot, marvellous squares SB, Slider 3 die, circles and ovals SB, red satin ribbon, copics
