Whimsy Card

Good morning! I have a project using Whimsy's new Mini Chalkboards 1 sentiment stamps. It's a great stamp collection to get as it has a sentiment for every occassion. It's a different one for me as it has no image or Copics involved. I think it's a nice change. So much so that I think I'll have to make a whole set with this stamp collection!!!

I used Coffee Archival Ink to stamp and Frayed Burlap to distress the papers edges. The gorgeous paper is Maja papers- I love how they are such high quality card-stock and so elegant and versatile! I dyed some seam binding with Weathered Wood and Broken China and added a flower from Prima's Princess Collection. 

I love the design of this card and it was inspired by Andrea Ewen, one of the talented ladies on the Maja Blog.

Melia

Good afternoon! I am back to share a card using sweet Melia on Her Shell Phone, which you can find at Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have used some Maja Papers and punched the bottom with a Martha Stewart border punch. I had cut out a mosaic background with my Silhouette and didn't know what to do with it until this card. I thought it made a cute fish net of sorts! I added some flowers and some shells that I snagged from a cousin's wedding centerpieces (Totally allowed!). The molded swirls are from a Martha Stewart mold( I like to think of them as foaming waves... Anyways, I used my all time favorite tag from Magnolia, the Tilda Tag which are still a great deal at Scrapbook Maven.

Extra, Extra!

Hi!! I am here to share a BOY card using Extra from Mo's Digital Pencil! I have such a hard time with boy cards which is terrible since I have three boys!

But a few well placed embellishments make it easier;)

I love using the Tim Holtz Filmstrip Ribbon for masculine cards! It works well with feminine cards, too, I have seen on other cards. The vintage light bulb is another fun embellie to add. I used Tim Holtz' Tattered Florals die to make a flower to match the Prima Printery paper I used and made a newspaper tied with twine from some of the paper's cutouts. My six year old got a kick out of it and had to have one for himself! I used the Magnolia Doohickey die again- can't get enough of it! I cut out and made 'Happy Birthday 2 U' from the papers to put on the tag.  It's a small card so it couldn't fit too much which I think is good for a masculine card. Men/ boys are simple, right?

She's sweet and whimsical. I stamped her twice and used the second gen. stamp for a no lines look to add to her softness. She looked like she needed to be surrounded by flowers and nature, so that's what I did! I used Prima's Nature Garden paper and lots of flowers.

We have hidden FOUR prizes of 2 new release rubber stamps somewhere on the DT’s blogs throughout the 5-day release event.

Broked

Hello! I am sharing a card today using Broked C from Mo's Digital Pencil. I had my mom in mind when I made this card. No matter how old I get I always look towards my mom for help and advice. Love you mom!

I have used Maja papers and Prima flowers. The Prima flowers are absolutely gorgeous and they are from the Prima Princess Collection called Happily Ever After. There are so many gorgeous embellishments in that collection, not to mention the papers! I am working on a mini album with them and some cards, too!

The butterfly charm and Magnolia Doohickey Die are also sold at Scrapbook Maven at an extremely low price! Love that die!

I cut the doily into pieces and put some at the top and some at the bottom of my card. I distressed all the paper edges with my scissors and used Wild Honey to dye the seam binding.
Copics: Hair-E00,13,15,18 Skin-E000,00,21,13, R20,22 Blue-B0000,000,32,34,37 Yellow-Y11,15,E00,21 Bear-E50,53,57

Winter Fairy

Good morning! I have my first post on the Whimsy Stamps blog posted and live! The card I have shared uses and oldie but goodie as I am new and all I have are the new release stamps that I can't share just yet! Here is my card using Winter Fairy by Wee Stamps.

I have used some Maja papers from Scrapbook Maven, as well as the Magnolia Doohickey tag dies and the bow charm. The Doohickey Dies are on sale right now for $19.99!! Regularly $28.50. 

I seem to use this particular lace a lot lately, but it reminds me of icicles so I had to use it on this wintry card! The gorgeous rolled flowers are Kort and Godt and the rest are Wild Orchid Craft flowers. I stitched and gessoed and distressed and I was done!

Copics:

Skin-E000,00,21,13,R20,22

Bossy Birthday Girl!

Hi! I am back today with a fun birthday card using the adorably bossy, Bossy from Mo's Digital Pencil.
Can anyone relate to a bossy, demanding birthday girl? I wish I could get away with it, lol!

I have used a MME paper Pad called Bramble Rose and some Prima embellishments.

The gorgeous Prima flower already came distressed with white, which is perfect! The 'Beauty" brad on my tag and the coral dots are from the same embellishment pack from the Prima Princess Collection. The crown is also Prima. The smaller flowers are WOC. The ribbon and crochet lace is from my stash. I added some stitching and more gesso to finish it off.  Below I will link the items I have used if you are interested.

Whimsy's Heidi

Hello all! I am so happy to say that I have been offered a DT position with Whimsy Stamps and I have accepted!! Thank you to all of you who wished me luck- it worked! 

I have used Heidi by Sylvia Zet for Whimsy Stamps.

I have colored her up using Distress Ink Pads. The papers are scrap pieces and the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts. I was lucky enough to win last months challenge at Live and Love Crafts and the berries are from my winnings! They are so pretty on a card but sooo messy!To my flower arrangements I added some pine cones that I made myself using decorative scissors and I added a wooden butterfly which is part of a Prima embellishment box that has four other designs and four of each design. Very versatile and fun! I added a Doohickey die and some seam binding which I have dyed with Vintage Photo. 

Scrapbook Maven is now carrying some Magnolia stamps and within the week will be carrying the So Lovely Tag Doohickey die like in my card and the Tilda Tag die! Stop by and check it out!
