Twinkle Toes

Friday, March 27, 2015

Hello everyone! Cindy here to share a card I made using a super cute stamp from Time for Tea Designs called "Twinkle Toes". When I saw this stamp I knew I had to get her, she is so darn cute!!

I colored her with my Copics and used stickles on the crown and the stars. I wanted to keep it real simple to show off this super cute image!!

I hope you have a fabulous day!!

Thursday, March 26, 2015

Good morning to Whimsy Fans!

It's my turn (Shelby) to bring a little inspiration to your Thursday. The March release was, again, fantabulous and can't wait to show you what's coming up in April. But in the meantime, this sweetie from Lizzie Love will brighten your day.

This new stamp is called Maggie's Hand Me Downs and you can find it HERE in the Whimsy Shop.

You can find all of the awesome designs from Lizzie Love HERE in the shop.
There is also a sale (and who doesn't love a sale) going on at Whimsy right now...25% off

Thanks for stopping by for a visit today and hope you find some creative time in your day.

Springtime

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

Hi there,

Today I have a sweet card using the new Spring Time stamp

Now how stinking CUTE is this bunny?? I used copic markers to colour
Bunny R30, 000, 0000; C5, 3, 1, 0, 00
Tree: E47, 44, 40
Flowers and bird: B02, 01, 00, 0000
Basket: E43, 41, 40, YG63, G20

The adorable Cute as a button sentiment is a sneak peek at one of the sentiment sets that will be released next month (my bad for using it too soon oops).

Thanks so much for visiting today.

Patty's Party

Monday, March 23, 2015

For today's card I used one of Whimsy Stamps new releases, this is Patty's Party by Lizzy Love. I also used the new sentiment set, Say it Big, along with the Pierced Stacking Star die and the Stitched Border Die Trio.

Thanks for visiting and get crafty!!

Stop and smell the flowers :-)

Happy Sunday Whimsy Fans!

Ellie here today sharing a card I made for our recent new challenge with the theme of "use a die".

I stamped the image using versafine onyx ink and colored using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I fussy cut the image to fit my design. Not sure if you can tell, but the head has been popped up using dimentionals. It wasn't my intention to do that, but after completing the card and photographing it, I noticed a tiny spot on the cheek that had a dark mark on it, so I just simply re-did the head.

The cute sentiment is from last month's release from the set "happy birthday".

You can find the Whimsy Products here:

Skunk with Rose, Happy Birthday

stitched border trio die set

other products used:

papers from DCWV, bo bunny

SU and Neenah card stocks

MS butterfly punch

sticky pearls, button, twine, glitter

If you're up for a challenge, why not come join us at Whimsy Inspiration Challenge. There is a fabulous prize to give away!

Thanks so much for stopping by here today!

Enjoy your day!!

Dream Big

Wednesday, March 18, 2015

Good morning Whimsy fans Its Bridget here
this time I'm using Say It Big from the March release,

I think everybody needs these stamps in their crafting plethora.

I don't know about you, but its difficult to find the right words

and to me this stamp set is perfect for all of that and so much more

they would look good pressed into deep embossing powder and

used in mixed media.

My card is 6" wide by 16 5/8" long, I then scored

it at 6" and scored again at 1 3/4 " for the step.

The image is called Dyanne and she is from Wee Stamps

I have also used the the Butterfly Border die in the background.

I used other bits and pieces from my crafty stash so you

can see how well Whimsy Stamps co-ordinate with all of your other

crafty things.

Have a good day whimsy friends and if you are up

for it, the Challenge Blog should be going live pretty soon

and there is a fabulous store gift voucher for one lucky winner.

Take care peeps
