Bundled Up - special guest - Kathy Schweinfurth

I've so enjoyed guesting with Whimsy Stamps over the last several months - thank you, Whimsy Stamps, for having me!  For my last Guest project, I couldn't resist using this wonderful Bundled Up Amped2Stamp set designed by Deb Davis!

For my card, I went with a soft winter look.  First layering a pale blue cardstock onto the base, I then created the background by using the Pinwheels Stencil and Nuvo Embellishment Mousse in Mother of Pearl and cutting out a circle. Can I just say I love this stencil!  It reminds me of snow, but I can also see 'sparklers' for New Years and July 4th! Within the circle, I stamped the trees from the Bundled Up Amped2Stamp set and cut some shimmery white cardstock for the 'snow'.  I can't get enough of these super sweet images that were copic colored and fussy cut.  For the sentiment, I used one of the dies in the Card Builders Window Die set to cut pale blue cardstock.

Wishing all of you a very blessed Christmas and Happy New Year!

  

Bundled Up with special guest Kathy Schweinfurth

It's been so fun guesting with Whimsy Stamps!  Today I have a new project created with this adorable Bundled Up Amped2Stamp set designed by Deb Davis!

For my card, I first used the larger die from the Card Builder Window set cutting kraft cardstock.  I then used white embossing paste with the Pinwheels Stencil.  I love the way the stencil image looks like snowflakes!

For the small background, I cut white cardstock using one of the dies in the Card Builder Window Die Set and sponged distress oxide ink then stamped the smaller tree from the Bundled Up stamp set.  These images are the absolute cutest...especially the bunnies!  I had to add one of the bunnies to the tab - also from Card Builder Window Die Set - and stamped one of the Bundled Up sentiments.

Have a great day!

31 Nights of Halloween Night 19 Special Guest Kathy Schweinfurth

Exciting news!  I'm thrilled to be guesting for Whimsy Stamps -- especially during the 2nd Annual 31 Nights of Halloween Blog Celebration!  How fun is that?!!

 Creepy, crawly spiders...not a fan, but I couldn't resist these frightening critters to use for my card!

To start, I used the Card Builder Windows Die Set to cut watercolor paper and created a watercolor background.  Then, I sponged Black Soot Distress Ink using the Halloween Creatures Stencil for the spiders and 'sea' of bats. The 'halloween', from the You're My Boo stamp set, was gold embossed and then the black 'happy' was stamped. 

Hope you'll stop back at the Whimsy blog tomorrow night for more BOO-tiful projects and FRIGHTful fun!
