Fluttering By with Inspiration

Hello!!It's the middle of the week and I have a card to share!!

I have used the Fluttering By stamp set from Whimsy designed by SC Designs.

I love how true and inspirational the stamp is to get out of your comfort zone and go for it- whatever 'it' may be for you.

I have had these cute Prima nests for awhile and finally found the perfect project to use one on!  I have used my favorite Prima Nature Garden Pad. I am slowly whittling it away with making cards even though I originally bought it for a mini album...one day! Hope the rest of your week flies by!

Wee Daphne for Whimsy

Hello! I am back to share a card I made using the adorable Daphne from Wee Stamps for Whimsy! I also used the Flutter By stamp by SC Designs with coordinating die, Butterfly Frame, along with the new Butterfly Border Die.

I have used Maja paper from the Vintage Spring Basics Collection. I cut the large Daffodil from the 12x12 paper I had. I love how simple it is and quick, if you don't count the coloring! I hope your week is fabulous!

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!! Iris, Debbie, Simonne, Danielle (me!), Jacque, Hilde

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!

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!

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?

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!

Thankful Card

Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! 

Today I am sharing a card for Whimsy Stamps using my favorite Mini Chalkboards stamp set by SC Designs. I warned you I would use every stamp in this set! You can click on the following links to see my previous cards: Birthday Wishes, Home Sweet Home, True Love Whimsy Card. 

I have used some Autumnal papers by Maja Designs. I thought they would be perfect for this Thanksgiving inspired card and sentiment stamp. I got out my Viva Decor Pearl Pen and went to town to add some interest to the borders. The sketch is from Viva La Verve. I loved Laurie's card, so I took a lot of element ideas from hers like the torn paper that is sewn and the addition of vellum, although mine is not stamped. 

I hope you like this series of cards. If you haven't checked it out, you should and while you're there put it in your shopping cart because it's a super sentiment set to have on hand!

Stay tuned for more cards using the set!

Birthday Wishes

Good morning! I have a quick share today of a card using the fabulous Mini Chalkboards by SC Designs of Whimsy Stamps! Have I mentioned before how much I love this set?

It's such a fast card compared to one with a colored image, but still takes thought  design-wise because there is no image to take the load, lol! 

I used my Copic BV02, I believe, to color the background layers and the ribbon I threaded through the crochet lace. I haven't used rhinestone flourishes in a while and I really love them, so my mission with this card was to use one! I added some glitter glue around the sentiment for a little added detail.

The paper is Maja paper. I love how thick it is as it distresses so nicely with my scissors!

Let me know what you think!

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.

You have 24 hours to comment- 12 noon EST tomorrow. 

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.

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!
