Love Trip

Good morning and thanks so much for visiting!

Today is day 7 of Whimsy Stamps New Release Showcase and mini hop, and I decided to be part of the mini hop today too!

For today's card I used the stamp  "Love Trip" from whimsy's Sylvia Zet collection. Sylvia's animals are just so very cute, I can't wait to see what other critters she will be  drawing in the future! I know they are going to be CUTE!!

The image has been colored using Faber Castel Polychromos pencils.

Another super simple card. I simply stamped the image on white cardstock, then cut out the bugs and the balloon, then I stamped the image again on blue card stock. I made the clouds using my Stampin Up clouds template and white craft ink.

The doily circle was cut out using Whimsy's newest double scallop doily shapeology die. I adhered the bugs and balloon do the circle and tucked the sentiment behind the bugs. To finish it off I added a few dots of glitter around the image, and a bow to the top.

The sentiment is from the set " Always and Forever" which was also just released.

I am playing along in a few challenges today:

• Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Anything Goes 
• Crazy 4 Challenges - One Layer Card 
• Less Is More - Not a Square
• Totally Gorjuss - Something New (new image and new scallop circle doily die) 

Don't forget to there is a prize up for grabs from one of the showcasing blogs today. To be entered into today's drawing just be sure to leave a comment on all of the participating DT members blogs today (you can find the complete list HERE) by noon EST tomorrow, may 30th. All winners from this release will be announced tomorrow on Whimsy's Inspirations blog. 

Good luck everyone!!

With all my heart...

Hello and welcome to Day 6 of Whimsy Stamps May Rubber Stamp and Die Release Showcase!

 On Wednesday  Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs and new Shapeology dies. From then until 29 May the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!


For today's card I used the adorable stamp"Teeny Mouse Hugs" from Whimsy's Meljen's collection!

What a cute image!! I just love Meljen's mice!

It's been colored with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils and then cut out. The half circle doily in the background was made using the new double scallop doily die. I just cut it in half and used part of it.

The sentiment is from the new set "Always and Forever" from Whimsy's Raindrop Echo Designs. . Embellished with some ribbon, a heart shaped button and some twine, then added a couple of diecut hearts (made using a sizzix die). The papers I believe are from  a pack by My Minds Eye.

Here is what I made!

I used the super adorable stamp "Peggy" from Whimsy's Sylvia Zet collection to make my card.

The image has been stamped with memento ink and then colored with Faber Castell Polychromos as usual.

It's another clean and simple card, I used my old Creative Memories cutter to cut the grassy "hills", and adhered the layers with dimensionals. To finish it off I did some machine sewing and added a simple button with some twine.

For my card today I used the new rubber stamp "Hopeful" from Whimsy's Sylvia Zet collection.

She has been colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.

I have been forever admiring brayered backgrounds and finally decided to properly learn how to do it. I watched a few videos, and I am getting better at it, but I still need A LOT  of practice. So please excuse my not so perfect card.

The sentiment is also from this Whimsy release, it's from the set "Oval Letter Seals". I used the new Shapeology die "Fun in the Sun".

I simply embellished with some ribbon, a button and twine, then added a little bit of glitter and sewed the edges.

I would love to enter my card to the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp and Show... - Summer holiday 
• Stamp and Create -  One for the Ladies
