~ It's Time to Celebrate Whimsy Stamp's July Release ~

Hello Everyone!

Crissy Armstrong illustrates some of the most adorable penguin stamps and her new set called, Penguin Lean on Me, is no exception!  This li'l guy reminds me of the penguin from the movie Happy Feet.  I colored up the smallest die from Whimsy's Wavy Nested Frames Die Set to look like a piece of ice for this cutie to dance on.  You can't help but smile when you look at the joy on his face!





I used Nuvo's Moonstone Glimmer Paste with Whimsy's Fireworks Stencil.  This stencil is not just for 4th of July...it makes a great background for birthday cards, too.  I colored the die cut word, Celebrate, with Copics and added Clear Wink of Stella to give it some shimmer.  I layered it on top of black cardstock which helps make it stand out on top of the sparkly fireworks and to tie in the black from the penguin.  I love the beautiful script that the "Celebrate" Word Die comes in.  The script makes it easy to curve the word onto the card, which helped balance my design.

~ Whimsy Stamps - Early Bird ~

Hello Whimsy Stamp Fans!

Today I am sharing with you a fun card I made using Whimsy's new Early Birds Clear Stamp Set.  It looks like the saying, the early bird gets the worm, is true.  This bird is getting a tweet treat...poor wormies!



Whimsy Stamps has a great selection of dies that you can build scenes with like I have done here.  The Wavy Nested Dies Set reminds me not only of a knot hole you would find in a tree but a mud puddle.  You usually find worms after it rains, so I thought a mud puddle would be the perfect place for this early bird to catch him some breakfast as the sun rises.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day after all.  To give the mud some texture, I used Copic's Blending Solution and a texture rag to give the mud a more realistic look.

For my first project, I am using Coffee Mug Marci and the Coffee Word Die.  Marci and I are latte kinda girls and whipped cream is a must!  You know your latte is extra delicious when you get a whipped cream mustache...lol



I had so much fun creating Marci's ensemble...you know what a fashionista she is.  There is no way Marci can go to her favorite coffee shop and not look fabulous!  The heart on her headband is the heart die that comes with the Coffee Pot Die Set.

For my second project, I just couldn't pass up making a shaker hamster card.  My children and I absolutely love hamsters and we had quite of few of these adorable critters when they were growing up.



My daughter's favorite color is purple, so her hamsters always had purple wheels.  What makes this wheel extra special is that I designed it so you can actually spin the wheel with your finger to make it look like the hamster is actually running.  How fun is that?!

~ Whimsy Stamp's July 2019 Paper Door Kit Makes Me Smile ~

Hello My Fellow Paper Crafters!

I am back sharing another card I have created using Whimsy Stamp's July 2019 Paper Door Kit.  When I saw this giraffe, it immediately put a smile on my face so I couldn't resist but add Whimsy's  Smile Large Word Die to my project.



I designed this card to make it look like this cutie was having a tasty snack.  The Giraffe Pattern Stencil that comes in the kit made the perfect embossed background for my card.  Monochromatic with a pop of color is one of my very favorite color schemes...I totally love how this project turned out!
