So Nuts About Home!

Hi Everyone! It's Shannah here today to share some Whimsy Inspiration with you!

This card was made using the adorable new 'So Nuts About Home' by Crissy Armstrong. Isn't he such a little cutie with his chubby, full cheeks?!
I also used 'Life's Moments' sentiments and 'Fancy Label Die' by SC Designs, and embellished with 'Vines Die Set'. All of these are available at the Whimsy Stamps store.

  
I coloured this sweet guy with Copic markers, and gave a bit of sky background with pearlescent chalk.

You can see more details on my Blog;  Embellished ExpresShan's.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

School Box Card

Hi Deb here!
As soon as I saw the latest Clearly Whimsy Stamps I knew they would be just perfect for something I had been wanting to create for a while!
For my box card, I used lots of the stamps from the School Spirit and Smarty Pants set and also both sets of dies - glasses and bracket dies and mortar board and tassel dies !  I love making these box cards and making a school themed one was so easy with so many stamps jam packed into each of our new clear stamp sets!  
The garland is from the Time for Tea Additions set and the Time for Tea Die set!

Many thanks for dropping by!
