Oh, and before I get to my creation for today, just a quick reminder that Issue 6 (Mini) for the Whimsy Stamps Inspirations Magazine will be releasing tomorrow!  It's a compilation of the showcase creations from this month's release as well as a look back at some of the DT's favorite Whimsy creations from 2011!




For my last showcase card for this release, I've used Val Ventura and Celebration Mini Tickets.  I also used the Whimsy Vines Die Set release a while back.  I went for a distressed look with lots of little embellishments.  It's been a while since I've been able to load my card with lots of little tidbits and I'm pretty satisfied with how the card came together.  The edges were distressed and inked with Vintage Photo.  The inspiration came from the sketch over at Stamps & Fun = Creativity challenge blog.

Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Val Ventura and Celebration Mini Tickets; Coloring medium: Copics on Make it Crafty blending tool; Papers: BasicGrey Curio; Embelishments: American Crafts brads, WOC flowers, Stickles, May Arts ribbons; Tools: Whimsy Stamps Vines Die Set, Inkssentials blending tool, Tim Holtz distressing tool

For today's mini hop, I've created a card using Sylvia Zet's new image called Heidi.  She's such a gorgeous little girl and it was so fun to color her :)  I used a sentiment released from last year called Cozy Hands Sentiments, which I thought were PERFECT with the designer paper, and cut out the mitten with the Mittens Die Set.  The edges of the mitten are Stickled.  The snowflakes were cut out using the Layered Snowflakes die set, which I haven't been able to use very much so I was glad to be able to play with them.  This card uses the sketch at Simon Says Stamp.


Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Heidi and Cozy Hands Sentiments; Coloring medium: Copics on Make it Colour blending card; Papers: Echo Park Winter Park, glitter paper from DCWV; Embelishments: hemp cord, rhinestones, Stickles; Tools: Whimsy Stamps Layered Snowflakes die set, Mittens Die Set, Spellbinder dies

How wonderful life is...

Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful day so far :)  Are you staying warm during these winter days?  We had a ton of snow here in Oregon in the beginning of the week, but it's all turned to rain now so everything is all slushy and wet.


Anywho, I have another card to share with you today using the wonderful products from Shop Pumpkin Spice.  I've actually used supplies from various manufacturers, which is somewhat of a rarity for me :)  I usually go the easy route and pick embellishments and papers from the same collection, but this time I tried to mix it up a bit.


The papers are from Crate Paper Emma's Shop 6x6 paper pad and the sentiment sticker is from Echo Park Yours Truly - Element Stickers.  I've placed it on a Spellbinders die cut from the Fleur de Lis Rectangles set which is layered on top of a journaling card cut from the Echo Park Happy Days - Journaling Cards.  I've also liberally sprayed the card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl, which you can see better if you click on the picture to enlarge it.  I used a ticket punch to dress up the edges a little and placed dots of Stickles at the corners of the card.  The card was held together using my trusty ATG gun and the Scotch Tape Glue for the papers and Beacon Advanced Tape Glue for the flowers and lace.





Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Here for you

Happy Friday!  How has the new year  been for you so far?  Have you gotten into the habit of writing 2012 for dates yet?

For my SPS post today, I have a somewhat spring-like card to share with you.  It was kind of nice to use some natural colors instead of blues and holiday colors :) This card actually didn't take too long to put together as there was no coloring involved. The gorgeous papers are from the Bo Bunny Welcome Home 6x6 Paper Pad.  I love the natural colors in this paper pad.  What I also like about Bo Bunny in general is the distressing that they have on their papers so it makes me want to distress the edges to go for a more tattered look.  The edges were also Stickled and the stickers are from K&Company.  The postage sentiment is from the Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Postage Stamps and cut out using the Mini Postage Stamp die.

Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Postage Stamps; Papers: Bo Bunny Welcome Home 6x6 Paper Pad; Accessories/tools: Whimsy Stamps Mini Postage Stamp die, K&Company stickers, Stickles, doily, distressing tool, Inkssentials ink blending tool

See you again tomorrow for our monthly SPS blog hop!

Finally, some play time!

We're finally almost all moved in to our new place and I finally got to take a little time to make some cards!  I think it's been almost two months since I really got to craft.  Sadly, these cards aren't the best, though.  I need to find my groove again and find some inspiration from blogland. Oh well, here they are anyway!

The first card is a card using an LOTV image that I have had for a while now.  As with many of my LOTV stamps, this one has never seen the light of day until now.

Stamp: LOTV; Coloring medium: Copics on MiC Blending Card; Papers: Crate Paper Farmhouse 6x6 Paper Pad;  Tools: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders corner die, Viva Decor Pearl Pen

The second card uses a Whimsy Stamp called Lady Victoria.  I love this KennyK image!  I was inspired to use it by Annika's post here and was trying to go for the same old world feel, but obviously, failed.  I love her card and her coloring with the dark contrasts is stunning!  My sentiment is a freebie rubber sentiment from Whimsy.  Denise throws in freebie rubber stamps in your order every once in a while.  The sentiment was cut using the Notables 1 Die and then layered on top of a die cut using the Elegant Notables 1 die.  These Notables dies layer great together since one is slightly smaller.
Stamps: Whimsy Stamps Lady Victoria, freebie sentiment; Coloring medium: Copic on MiC Blending Card; Paper: BasicGrey Little Black Dress; Accessories: WOC flowers; Tools: Whimsy Stamps Notables 1 Die and Elegant Notables 1 die, Cuttlebug, various Cheery Lynn Dies

Well, that's it for me for now!  Hopefully I'll be back more often as I slowly transition all my crafty goodies into my new space :)
