~ Happy 10th Birthday Whimsy Stamps ~

I am back today to wish Whimsy Stamps a very Happy 10th Birthday!!!  Whimsy Stamps is celebrating this mild stone by having an Instagram hop.  If you would like to participate to win some super fun prizes and to get some awesome inspiration from all of our talented designers, hop on over to @whimstamps to begin and to have some blog hop fun!!!

For my Instagram hop inspiration, I used the Christmas Tidings Clear Stamp Set along with the Making Waves Stencil.  I used Nuvo's "Blue Topaz" Glimmer Paste to make the waves.  Isn't this color incredibly beautiful?!  

Don't you just love Nemo's tiny red nose?!  He is a clown fish after all...lol  I added a Mini Action Wobble Spring under the sea turtle so when you move the card the sea turtle looks like he is swimming in the ocean.  This gives the card a fun interactive element!

Hello Everyone,

Today's La-La Land Craft's Inspiration Friday Challenge is "Baby It's Cold Outside."  I decided to create a snowy shaker scenic card using the adorable bunny from the Cozy Christmas Clear Stamp Set.  Luckily my little bunny friend is all dressed up in his cozy sweater and scarf to brave the chilly elements.  Aren't his rosy cheeks just adorable?!

I love how his sweater looks like it has texture and depth by using blender solution and a swatch of corduroy.

Today's La-La Land Craft's Inspiration Friday challenge is to use non-traditional Christmas colors.  I love Navy and white for Christmas colors so I decided to do a soft blue, white and peachy rose combo...I really love how these colors look together!

The Pinecone Bough Die has proven to be one of my favs out of this release!  I love how the Nuvo "Moonstone" Glimmer Paste looks covered over all the branches and pinecones.  The Winter Mug Die is absolutely adorable and fun to color.  I decided to add Nuvo "Gloss White" Crystal Drops to make it look like whipped cream on top of the hot cocoa and sprinkled a little iridescent glitter on top for some extra sparkle.

Hi All,

Today I am sharing with you my third card using La-La Land Craft's new winter release.  Marci loves looking fashionable and she is all decked out in her new leopard print assemble.  Doesn't she look like she should be on the cover of Vogue?!

~ Deck the Palms ~

I'm back today with my second project for La-La Land Craft's new winter release.  Santa definitely needs a vacation after delivering all those presents around the world before he heads back to the North Pole for a long winter's nap!

I stamped the palm tree from the "Deck the Palms" Clear Stamp Set twice and popped up the second set of leaves to give the tree some added dimension.  I love how the stencil from the "It's Snowing" Layering Stencil Set looks like sun rays when used with different colors of yellow Distress Ink.

I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the Christmas bulbs and the icing of the donut floaty to give them a more realistic look.
