Lizzy Love "Harriot's History Class"

Hi everyone Cindy here today.  I want to share a card I made recently using the new stamp from Lizzy Love called Harriot's History Class.



I also used the new "Large Dream die". I used my Copics to color her.  I really enjoyed making this card. 

Have a great weekend!
Cindy

Sounds of the Sea

Good morning fabulous Whimsy fans!  I hope this post finds you well and creative.  It's my turn to give you a dose of daily Whimsy inspiration.
It's definitely summertime in the Rockies...the only thing missing is the ocean!  I'll live vicariously through this sweet beach scene from Art by Miran called Sounds of the Sea.  The word die "dream" can be found HERE.  It was colored with Prima sprays on self adhesive fun foam and cut with the die.
Thanks for visiting today and enjoy the rest of your week!

Lil Nurse Nancy–new Whimsy release

Hi there, Bev here with  a couple of projects to share today.  First up is a get well card using the super sweet Lil Nurse Nancy by Elisabeth Bell and a sentiment from the Simple Sayings Postage Stamps sentiments.

Next up is my first attempt at mixed media, and I am hooked!  I used the new DREAM die sentiment which I die cut 4 times and glued together to give a chipboard look.  the die is just the perfect size and fitted perfect on the 6” circle plaque that I used for this project.

Look Whoo

Hello Whimsy Fans, Iris here. Today I have a CAS card to share that I recently made using the super cute 'Look Whoo' from hte Krista Heij-Barber collection.

I colored the litle fella using my Copics, doodled a stitched line around and layered the image with several different sheets of cardstock.

The inside is decorated to match the outside. I stamped part of the image in a coordinating color and added the sentiment that is included with the stamp.


Thanks for stopping by!

Harriot History Teacher

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

For this card used this cute and fun new image from the Lizzy Love Collection called 'Harriot History Teacher' along with the included sentiment, available at the Whimsy Stamps store.


The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo ink and coloured with Copic markers.The papers are from Bo Bunny 'Souvenir Collection' 6x6 papers, and all the edges were inked with Distress Ink 'Antique Linen'.

 
The embellishments are printed from the Lori Whitlock 'School Days' digital kit, fussy cut, and attached with mounting foam. I finished with a couple of dark blue pearls from Want2Scrap.

 
I hope you like it! You can see more details on my Blog;  Embellished ExpresShan's.

Thanks so much for visiting today and hope you have a great week!

Tea Time Mouse

Happy Monday Whimsy Fans! Hope your week is off to a great start! 
Ellie here today, my turn to share a creation with you.

 
I just love this cute little mouse sitting in a tea pot!  Of course in real life I would scream my lungs out if I would see a mouse, not sure why, but the real ones do scare me, although I love drawings and stamps like this one, and they are a joy to color! Cute critters are my all time favorite stamps and I love Krista's art style!

I fussy cut the image after coloring with copics, and left off the spilled tea part of the image. A pretty CAS design, as you can see. The fun sentiment is part of the new sentiment set Simple Saying Postage stamps, and I used the mini postage die to cut it out.
