Whimsy Prints BLOG HOP!

In October, we announced the release of a BRAND NEW Whimsy Stamps product line - the Whimsy Prints Collection.

The Whimsy Prints Collection are beautiful sets of hand-colored images which have been digitally reproduced and die-cut into various shapes. Whimsy Prints are printed on 100lb premium coated paper and professionally die-cut leaving smooth edges. Each pack contains 12 die-cut prints (3 sets of 4 images).

The Crissy Armstrong prints are lovingly hand-colored by Crissy Armstrong herself:

The Elisabeth Bell prints have been hand-colored by our talented Senior Designer Simonne Clay:

Whimsy Prints Collection are very straight forward and easy to use. They can be attached directly to your project with glue or double sided tape. Use them as is or cut to fit the needs of your project. One of the benefits of using Whimsy Prints is to cut back on the amount of time needed to hand color images. To summarize, it is a great way to make quick projects when time is of the essence! These are also wonderful for beginner crafters and kid projects.

If you joined us for our last 2 releases, you may have seen some of the beautiful projects our DT and Special Guests have created using these prints. Today we are showcasing these gorgeous Whimsy Prints with a special BLOG HOP

The hop starts today (Friday November 30th at 12.00PM EST) and ends on Monday December 3rd at 12.00PM EST.

Hello Whimsy Fans, Iris here! Today I want to share a Christmas card I made using the adorable Holly!

 

Sentiment is from the 'Christmas Sayings set'. Papers are Basic Grey 'Eskimo Kisses'. I colored using my Copics (find a list of Copics used here ). The flowers are a mix of WOC and Michaels.The snowflake charm, silk ribbon and bakers twine I got from Whimsy's Embellishments section.

 

Close-up on the cute image

I decorated the inside to match the outside

And as all my cards this one also comes in a matching individually handmade box.

 Don't forget to stop by later again to participate in our
Whimsy Prints Blog Hop starting at 12pm!

Hugs,

Iris
