For My Tiny Dancer

Hello, ladies! I have a mini book to share. It is really a fancy sticker book for my daughter. She gets a sticker after every dance practice and I thought I would make book to hold them all as she is very proud of them and loves her dance class!

Tiny Dancer Elements image mini album using Prima Nature Garden and Prima Princess Collection

I have used the Tiny Dancer Elements from Mo's Digital Pencil shop. I had a hard time choosing between the six images you get, so I used two! Had I thought before binding the book I would've printed an image on each inside page of the book. Ah well, next time;)

Hope you like it! Have a wonderful weekend!

Whimsy Stamps May Release-Day 2: Fluttering By


It's Day 2 of Whimsy Stamps May Rubber Stamp and Die release! Starting yesterday there are 5 days of the new May 2014 Whimsy Stamps products.  We are releasing a fabulous selection of new goodies this month, and the entire release will be available to buy from theWhimsy Stamps store and from all good Whimsy Stamps retailers from Wednesday (21st May).


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

Yesterday was the debut of the new Sylvia Zet and Cathy Delanssay stamps and today we are debuting the sentiments and dies by Ann Vento and SC Designs.

For my card I have used the gorgeous Fluttering By stamp set.  There are so many fun and uplifting sentiments in this set and the lovely die is the Butterfly Frame that works perfectly with the stamp set! 



I've layered the sentiment and stmaed it with Tea Dye Distress Ink. I used some homemade molding paste to stencil a flourish in the background and made some flowers using the Tattered Florals DIe.  I used the Prima Fairy Rhymes paper pad in the A4 size and was able to cut out the butterflies to add around the card for some interest as well as some Recollections pearls flourishes.
I hope you like it and be sure to hop around and leave comments for a chance prizes!!

Fabulous Wonderful Friend

Good morning! I'm back to share a card I have made using the amazing Mini Chalkboards by SC Designs for Whimsy Stamps! I challenged myself to use every stamp in the set which wasn't really a challenge as they are all perfect! You really can't go wrong with buying this stamp set!
Pink, vintage and shabby chic card for a friend using Maja Design paper and a Whimsy mini chalkboard sentiment

This is my fifth card using the set and I have three more stamps to go! I used Maja Design paper and some pearls. It really came together quickly and I will be so happy to give this to a dear friend!

Naunet

Good afternoon! It's my turn this week to share my card using a fun Mo's Digital Pencil image and today I have colored up the beautiful, Naunet!
Tropical mermaid card using Prima and Mo's Digital Pencil Naunet digital image
I have used an old Prima paper pad, Alla Prima. The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts as well as the strung pearls. The pearls I bought a while back and didn't know what to do with them until this card. They reminded me of bubbles, which I thought was perfect for my tropical mermaid! I dyed some seam binding with Distress Ink Evergreen Bough. I muted the Yellow Orange flowers with gesso and I think I would've been happier with an extra layer. My Martha Stewart punch around the page for my shell border.
I usually like more muted colors but I think the bright colors suit Naunet perfectly!
Thanks for stopping by!

Whimsy's Miss Chloe Vignette

Good morning! I have a fun card to share using Miss Chloe Vignette by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps
Isn't she a beauty with her flowing hair and freckles?

Whimsy's Elizabeth Bell's Miss Chloe Vignette using Prima's Fairy Rhymes paper

I have used a tutorial from You Tube to make the Recessed Window Card base as I did a long time ago. This is a great tutorial and this style really adds a fun and unique twist to a card!

I have used the A4 paper pad of Prima's Fairy Rhymes paper and  fussy cut the banners and flowers. The sentiment is also Whimsy: Mini Chalkboards by SC Designs (my favorite stamp set at the moment). A few mulberry flowers and pearls and voila!

Enjoy your weekend!
