Bad Santa! New Release!

Hello friends!

Happy October 1st!  Today is Whimsy Stamp's new release day!

I am sharing a new stamp set called, Bad Santa.  The images are a riot and make me smile! I love that they come with coordinating dies too. This Santa was colored with Copics and added to the scene found in the new 6 x 6 paper pack called, Cozy Hearth.  I did a bit of machine stitching and added some chunky glitter to the edges.  Such a fun card for Christmas!

Be sure to check out the full release at Whimsy! 

Have a wonderful day!

 

Spooky Delights

Hello friends!

I have a Halloween card to share with you today using a bunch of Whimsy products!

The die cuts are part of the Elvira Moonlighting Die set.  She was colored in with Tim Holtz inks and Copic Markers.  I wanted her to look more like the bride of Frankenstein. ;)  The background was embossed using the Bats Slimline Embossing folder.  I added a circle die in the background for the moon and a large spider web in the corner. Some pearls and big purple bow were the finishing touches. 

Thank you for popping by today!

 

STAMPtember!

 Hello friends!

I am excited that today is the release of Whimsy Stamp's STAMPtember stamp set in collaboration with Simon Says Stamps! 

This stamp and die set are so fun!

I was so glad I had some crafty time and ended up making 3 cards. 

My first card used the Boo stamp and die. I used a jewelry tag for the sentiment and branches from the Bat Branch Die set.  They were colored with Copic markers.  I wanted some texture for the background, so I also used the Bats Galore Slimline folder.  

My second card uses these adorable ghosts with the Boo stamp and die set.  I added some tombstones from the Build a Graveyard die set.  Cobwebs from the Witch Broom set were stamped on the tombstones. I also added a circle for the moon. The background was inked with Distress inks.  

My last card I decided to make a fun shaker card! I used the Mitered Frame set and some acetate. This Boo was so cute with her little pink bow. ;) I added some pink sequin leaves and a sheer black ribbon. 

Be sure to check out Simon Says Stamp to get your exclusive set! 

It's been so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Howdy!

Howdy friends!

It is such a gorgeous weekend here in Chicago! My sister is spending the day with me and we are heading to a large craft fair near my home.  I am excited to spend some girl time with her and do one of my favorite things....shop!

Today I am sharing this adorable stamp set from Whimsy, called, Barnyard Friends.  This little cow is darling! I colored the image with Copic markers. I did some masking to place this little nugget in the bucket using the Barnyard Elements stamp set.   I added a sweet little tag, a flower from the Hibiscus die set, and some twine to the bucket.  For a finishing touch I added this wide striped ribbon. 

Enjoy your weekend friends!

 

Shark Snack!

Hello friends!

I have a card to share that I made using Whimsy's Shark Snacks die set.  I love the size of this die! It really fills the card and the details are on point! I used water color paper and Tim Holtz inks.  The hearts were left over from the Slimline Hearts Background die that I used on another project.  I keep all of the extras in a pouch and use them as I need them for my cards.  :)  I added glossy accents and a white gel pen to add a few highlights.  

I think the alphabet die I used here is now retired, but any larger font die would work great here!

I appreciate you stopping by today! :)

 

Love You No Matter What

Hello friends!

I have a sweet card today that I made for my hubby using some products from Whimsy Stamps.  It uses the adorable die cut called, Happy Couple Die set.  I used black paper and gave it a coating of glossy accents.  The background was done with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and the Floating Hearts Cover Plate Die.    I paired it with a cute gingham ribbon. 

I have been slowly getting back to my craft room.  I managed to make a Halloween project that I am anxious to share with you soon!  I also went back to school this week, as life continues to go on.  

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today.

 

Shark Attack!

Hello friends!

I have a new card to share with you today. 

It uses Whimsy Stamp's new Shark Snacks Die set.  This shark couldn't possibly be any cuter!  (If it's possible for sharks to be cute, LOL)  I used Distress inks to give him his color.  I added the fun Bubbly Die frame in hot pink for a pop of color.

Life update below:

For those of you who have been checking in and have messaged me, I want to thank you.  It means a lot when people go out of their way to show they care. 

My sweet MIL passed away on July 24th.  We had services for her last week.  My son, DIL, and granddaughter made the long drive from GA to come in.  My husband and I were incredibly touched by the amount of people who went out of their way to attend her services.  Our hearts were truly filled with gratitude.  The last year has been a roller coaster and now we are hoping for some peace for a bit. 

Thank you for hanging in there with me....hopefully some craftier days are in my future.
