Ellie and her Snowman

Hello Whimsy Friends, I hope you all had the most fabulous Christmas!

I'm back with my last Christmas card for the year and back to my frilly and foo-foo cards with this cute new Ellie's Snowman stamp from the latest release by Whimsy Stamps.  Isn't it just too skinking cute?

I used the delish papers from the 6 x 6 Cozy Winter Paper Pack and coloured the image with copic markers, picking out some of the colours in the papers.

Ellie: C3, 1, 0, 00; R30

Snowman and snow: BG10, 0000

Red: R37, 35, 83

Green: YG67, 63, 03

Hat: C9, 7, 5

I added a sentiment from the Christmas Ellie-ments clear stamp set and finished off with some poinsettias that I made from a piece of the aqua cardstock and the Lily Flower Die Set.  I used a copic marker to draw in the veining on the flowers before wetting and shaping them.  I also tried something different with the holly leaves from the Christmas Branch Die Set, I die cut them from white cardstock and coloured/shaded them with my copic markers to give a more realistic effect.  I LOVE how these turned out, well worth the extra few minutes they took.

I hope 2020 brings you all health, peace and happiness.

More merry wishes

Hello from a frosty UK!  Hope you all had the most wonderful Christmas.

When I coloured the image for this card I coloured it twice (I’m all about making as many cards as I can at Christmas lol) so although the colours are the same I think using the dark red Nordic paper changed the image up a fair bit from the other card.  I also used white and gold paper flowers instead of the red flowers, the red paper sets them off beautifully.

I used one of the new digital Christmas Sentiments (which comes in black, red, gold and silver) and cut it into a banner.

 

Merry Wishes was coloured with copic markers: Skin: E04, 11, 00, 000, R20; Hair: E27; Fur and skirt: W3, 1,0, 00; Red: R39, 37, 35, 32; Green: BG99, G28, 24, 21; Gold: Y28, YR23, Y13

I used watercolour paper and glitter paper to make the poinsettias (using the Lily Flower die set) and I used tiny gold jingle bells for the centres.  I used a little Christmas Light button that I bought here in the UK, Whimsy Stamps has very similar buttons here

I absolutely slathered this card in glittery bling because …. XMAS!!

Wishing you all the very best for 2019, hope it’s your best year yet!

Angel Wishes

I sound like a broken record buuuuut, I really do adore the images by Marina Fedotova that Whimsy Stamps does.  Today’s card features Angel Wishes, you get a double dose of sweetness with this one.

I used the fabulous Notched Squares Die Set for the card shape.  They really add the wow factor to a square card.

   

I made a simple poinsettia from foamiran and the Lily Flower Die Set.  The little blue flowers are also foamiran, I used an old blossom punch for these and glued 4 layers together before filling the centres with a whole bunch of platinum coloured stamens (I painted the stamens to get the colour I wanted).  I die cut some platinum glitter holly leaves and white mistletoe leaves from the Christmas Branches die set and finished off with some distressed organza ribbon and some wee polystyrene snowballs.

I finished off with a sentiment from my all time favourite Christmas sentiment stamp set – Holiday Mini Sentiments.  They just have every sentiment I could ever need and in the most perfect size too.  I don’t often make blue cards but I love how this one turned out.

Hello everyone, hope you all had the most wonderful Christmas.  Here’s my very last Christmas card for 2017, and I’ve made a video tutorial of how I put the card together.

I’ve used more of the exquisite digital papers from Whimsy Stamps that’ve been designed by Tracy.  Love, love, love these gorgeous shabby patterns.  I’ll pop the links to the products and also the video at the end of the post. 

I made foamiran flowers – a poinsettia and some mini.  There are videos on my channel for the Poinsettia tutorial and also the Easy Foamiran Roses tutorial

I used one of my all time favourite sentiment and die sets – The Happy Sayings Die and coordinating stamp set. 

Lots of glitter on this one.  I really do love making Christmas cards, total glitter overload lol.

Little Christmas Angel

A very pink and girly Christmas card featuring one of the new Whimsy Stamps releases.  I adore Crissy Armstrong's images and this newest one is so so sweet.  The links to the products in the Whimsy Store are at the end of the post.

I made the poinsettias from foamiran and my the Lily Flower dies.  The little cherry blossom type flowers are made using  Peony Flower dies.  I love how the poinsettias turned out.  They were made from white foamiran and coloured with oil pastels.
