The Greatest Adventure....

Hi Deb here!

With summer almost upon us time to think about travel and vacations.  

These Travel stamps from the Clear Stamps range are just perfect for a couple of CAS cards.

Two cards from me today using Whimsy Stamps Clear Stamps Travel 1 - Life is a journey.

I also used the corresponding dies Leaving on a jet plane die set and the Road Trip die set.

Thank you for dropping by!

Bon Voyage!

Hi, Deb here!

On this card I used Whimsy Stamps Bon Voyage from the Time 4 Tea collection.  she is coloured with Prismacolor pencils.  I love these images, I feel they are so perfect for teenage girl cards, something I need a few of just now! 

 I made my usual book style card that I always create for my kids so that I can add some goodies to the inside too!  This one I created very quickly by using double sided papers so it needed less layering!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Be like a Flower!

Hi Deb here with a very appropriate Spring time card.  Hope it is warming up nicely where you are too! 

This sweet image from Whimsy Stamps is In Spring by Cathy Delanssay . She is coloured with Prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is part of the Spring Notables 8 set and was cut out with the matching Notables 8 Die. 

Thank you for dropping by!

Sweet Emily!

Hi, Deb here!

Here is one of my cards I created with the recently released January Whimsy Rubber Stamps.

 I used the stunning Wee Stamp Emily coloured with prismacolor pencils and the sentiment stamp Love Tiles stamped with Distress Ink Walnut Stain and then layered.   

Thank you for dropping by!

Marshmallows and Coffee gift box.

Hi Deb here today!

Here is something I created for the November release.  This was just perfect as a little gift for my daughter's friend.  We filled it with pieces of jewelry and candy and the top had a gift card holder on it.

For this creation I used Whimsy Stamps Time for Tea Marshmallows and Coffee coloured with Prismacolor pencils!

I also used Seasons Greetings Notables 7  sentiment, it was so perfect for a piece like this filled with gifts!

A Christmas Card Album!

Hi, Deb here!

The weeks are flying by I find myself desperately trying to get ahead as I know the festive season can be quite frantic.  This year I wanted to make more than a card for my kids so each of them will receive an album filled with photos of them from last Christmas.  Having 4 kids it is quite an undertaking but I know how much they enjoy looking at all the albums I make so it really is a labour of love!

For this album, for one of my boys, I just had to use this cutie!  He is Whimsy Stamps Lil Jack and Bobbins Christmas by Elisabeth Bell. he was coloured as always with Prismacolor pencils. He is so adorable, I am going to be using him a lot!   Also from Whimsy, the die that I am using on just about every Christmas creation, the Holly and Berries die. It is the perfect embellishment for any bare corner, I love it!

Other supplies are paper by My Minds Eye, Enamel dots by My Minds Eye and Teresa Collins, Tim Holtz picture wheel die and recollections album blank.

Thank you for dropping by!

All I want for Christmas!

Hi!  Deb here with my card using one of the new releases from the September Rubber Stamps!  Now is a great time to get ahead with all of those Christmas cards!

Here is my card using Santa Baby from the Time for Tea collection, Seasons Greetings notables 7 from the Raindrop Echo Sentiments collection, Notables 7 die,Holly and Berries die and the Snowflake border die.

Thank you so much for dropping by!

Donkey and friends

Hi, Deb here to share a card I made recently!

This card is made with another of the Whimsy Stamps July release stamps, I used

Donkey and friends by Crissy Armstrong and Contest Ribbons by Raindrop Echo Designs. 

I love that these sentiment stamps work together to create a contest ribbon but they are also versatile enough to use them in other ways!

The circle sentiment was cut out using the Contest Ribbons Die Set.

Thank you for dropping by!

Hello Sunshine!

The June rubber stamp and die release was just so perfect for all those summer creations!

For my project I used Elizabeth Bell's Pretty Kitty and Raindrop Echo Designs Sun, Moon, Stars.

I made a mini album, one of my favourite things to do just now!

The album base is a ready made one I received in a swap with a crafty friend.

I thought this would make a great summer gift to send to a friend.

Naughty Puppies Handbag

Whimsy gift bag

The thing I love most about digital images is that you make them as large or as small as you want, which means they are suitable for all different kinds of projects.  I like a larger image on a gift bag as I want it to stand out, Whimsy's 'Maya making wishes' was so perfect for this project!  She was designed by Crissy Armstrong and is so sweet! 

Isn't Ann Vento's ticket stamp also so perfect with Maya?

I can't wait till next Thursday to see what all the artists have designed!

Hope you will be joining in the new digi release on the 1st July too! 

Baseball Connor

Here is another oldie but goodie, Baseball Connor, he is such a cutie, he worked a treat on this step card.

I used some netting from an old trampoline for the backdrop. 

Watch out for some new Whimsy digital images to be released on Tuesday 1st June at noon (EST)!

We have fabulous new images from all our artists and also perfectly matching sentiments from Ann Vento. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the Design Team's sneak peeks over the next few days!
