Cass's first creation features this super cute image from our Meljen's Collection called Bumble Bear Smile.

I absolutely LOVE what Cass did with the background on this fabulous slimline card.

Cass's second creation features an absolutely beautiful mermaid from our Wee Stamps collection.

This beauty is called Elania and I think the way Cass has coloured her is just so dreamy!

Don't you just LOVE the way she did her hair? Another stunning background too!!

Cass's final creation features a fun and oh so cute image from our Some Odd Girl collection.

This is an awesome set that includes three sentiments and a super cute companion stamp of a coffee cup.

There's also a camera and cool shades! A very cute set for summer makes.

Cass has created a fabulous slimline design with Hipster Mae.

What stunning designs by Cass this month.

Living in the Wild Wild West

Howdy friends!  It's Vicki here and I'm really excited to be sharing my first post with you as a new Whimsy Stamps Digital Design Team Member! 

I have been enjoying digging right into all of the wonderful selection of digital stamps for my first month and I'm just as excited about what's coming in the future as well!  For now though, I'd like to share this adorable image by Crissy Armstrong called Western Pony.  Because it's a digital image, I love how you can use the hat with the image, separate it, or place and size it just right for your design!  I decided to combine the hat and pony together to come up with this card design:

The inspiration for my horse actually came from this month's release Animal Prints digital Papers.  It reminded me of that appaloosa breed with the spots.  I found an interesting photo on-line to inspire my coloring as I went along:

I colored it all with Copic markers.  For the hat, I've printed it out, fussy cut it and then used some foam tape to pop it up over the panel as if it's flying off in the wind.

So I took a strip of the papers and added it alongside my image panel and for the background, I've used some more digital papers from a past release called Ahoy, There. 

Here's a closer look at the image:

I hope you've enjoyed my creation today and I look forward to sharing more with you in the coming future!  Thanks for stopping in today!

Here are the Whimsy products used on my card today:

  

   

Floral Beauty

Hi there, it's Janine here with more Whimsy Stamps inspiration for you.

Today I'd love to share my card made using the beautiful digital paper 'Floral Beauty' from the new release together with a digital sentiment from a previous release called  'Family Forever' set, then to add a little detail I used one of the dies from the 'Envelope Edger' set.

 

 

I recoloured the digital sentiment 'Family' from black to white and added it to the digital paper. The paper was  printed out and used to cover a 6" x 6" card front. I die cut some white card using one of the Envelope Edger dies and attached it to card front using foam pads. To finish the card I used some cream ribbon and a gem my own stash.

 

 

 You can find more fabulous digital images and papers in the Whimsy Stamps store here.

 

Don't forget to check out my fellow teamies tomorrow, and I'll see you next month.

 

Big hugs

 

Baby Days Notebook

Hey there, welcome to a Digital Design Divas inspiration post. I am sharing with you today, a follow up to my previous inspiration post. This is 'part 2' of the gift I gave my sister and her hubby when their baby arrived. The first was of course, the 'new papa' card I shared with you recently and this time, I'd like to share the sweet baby diary I made for my sister, to record all her 'baby days' notes in. If you are a mama, you might recall the 'haze' that accompanies the baby days and how forgetful we become! So this wee diary is a great way to record and remember all those important little details... what the midwife said when she visited, which side you fed from last, that first sweet milky smile. 

This image is a beautiful one called Little Angel Mother from our fabulously talented digital designer Crissy Armstrong. I coloured mum and bub with my copics, which did you know you can buy right here at Whimsy Stamps now?! Love that!! I used a beautiful digital paper designed by Denise Lynn called Vintage Pink. It's so pretty and is another in the same set that I used on my previous post. I stamped a sweet sentiment directly on the pretty paper and edged the paper with distress ink before adding it to the notebook. LOVE these beautiful papers.

I used some pretty hessian wrap, a tag die behind the image and some cheesecloth for softness. A simple seam binding ribbon to finish the tag, some little ditsy flowers and the sweetest lil' rocking horse layered on kraft coloured foam finish this design. That sweet rocking horse is an older Whimsy Stamps die and was just perfect to finish this creation. It's no longer available, but there are so many gorgeous dies in the Shapeology range. Timeless designs, means maximum use from your stash! I LOVE my Whimsy dies. 

Here are the two creations together. They were very well received by my sister and brother in law. He was especially chuffed with 'his' card and my sis' has half filled her journal already! These images are just perfect for those 'new baby' creations. So look no further than our Digital Designs Library if you need that 'special' image. We've got it all. Thanks for stopping in to visit today. I'll be back again next month with another Digital Design Divas inspiration post. Hugs to you all and happy crafting xoxo

A Father Is Born

Hey there lovely Whimsy Stamps fans. I've been let loose on the blog for the first time today and I have a sweet post to share with you. I am blessed to be one of the Whimsy Stamps Digital Design Divas and let me tell you, there is no shortage of gorgeousness in the Whimsy Stamps Digital Vault. We are spoilt for choice by the talents of the Whimsy Design Team, so there is ALWAYS the right image for the occasion. I have two family members who have had babies recently, my lovely sister and my baby brother. I tell you, it's no big 'thang' to find an image to celebrate these amazing women becoming mummies right? But what about the papas? Look no further, our awesome Whimsy Stamps artist Crissy Armstrong has you covered! To celebrate the birth of a father, let me introduce you to 'Little Angel Father'.

This image just melts me. I have watched first my baby brother take this role recently and then my brother in law and I just LOVE the hearts of these modern men, who embrace their part in this joyous journey, sharing the care and unashamedly doting on their 'girls'. So this creation is in celebration of both these wonderful men in my life and their new roles as 'daddy'.

How perfectly does this image capture the rush of love that comes with becoming a new parent?! That 'will' to protect and nurture, It is captured so perfectly in Crissy's wonderful lines. However you colour this beautiful image, (mine was coloured with copics which you can now buy here at Whimsy Stamps!) the message is simple, it is a celebration of fatherhood, of new life, of dreams yet to be fulfilled and stories still to play out. THE perfect new papa image. I hope you enjoyed my take on this classic image. It's one from the Vault, but as I've come to realise with all my Whimsy goodies, the designs are classic, they don't date and are always a good investment. 

Thanks for popping in today. The Whimsy Stamps goodies I've used in my creation are in the thumbnails below, click through to the store to be taken straight to the products. Have an awesome day ya'll and thanks for stopping in on my first Digital Design Divas post for Whimsy Stamps. Hugs xoxo
