'Hello'......a Valentine's Day card

Hello everyone, Cindy here today.  I hope you had a wonderful Holiday!! Today I want to share a card I made over the weekend. I used a Time for Tea Designs image called 'Heart Balloon'.

I colored her with my Prismacolor Pencils. I cut out 4 of the 'Hello' word die cuts and glued them together then heat embossed it with some purple. I also used the 'Bow die'.  I used an embossing folder and embossed 'love u much' over the image. You can barely see it.

Make sure and check out all the products that are being retired. Time for Tea Designs is one of them!!

Wishing you a safe and wonderful New Year!!

Cindy

Thinking of you

Hello everyone, Cindy here today.  I want to share a card I made using a stamp from Time for Tea Designs by Jo Davies called "Sweetheart".  

I made a watercolor background and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from "Everyday Moments" and I also used the "Corner Die set". I had a lot of fun making this card.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I can't believe June is almost here!!

Music Girl!

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

For today's card I have used the fun new 'Music Girl' stamp from Time 4 Tea Designs, available from Whimsy Stamps.

The image was stamped twice with Memento ink, coloured with Copic markers, and fussy cut. I then double mounted the image onto layers of papers from a digital kit.

 

I also printed several of the kit elements which I also fussy cut and added to the card as
embellishments.

For my main image I used a stamp from Whimsy's August rubber stamp release by Time for Tea Designs.

I used it along with an older sentiment from Whimsy's mini chalkboard greetings, which was released a few months ago. The butterfly border die that I used here is also available at Whimsy Stamps. Embellished with a little button and twine, and added glitter to the cupcakes.

Hello!!

Happy Saturday Whimsy Friends! Iris here today with a creation featuring Cozy Cardi by Time for Tea Designs from Whimsy's latest rubber stamp release as well as some dies from the recent Clearly Whimsy release.

Cozy Cardi was colored using pencils and alcohol markers and the outline was doodled using a Copic Multiliner Pen. The sentiment is die cut with the 'Hello' die from the new  'Say What - Speech Bubbles' die set.  The small die cut stars are from the same set. The wavy purple and yellow layers are created using the 'Stiched Border Die Trio'

Here is a closer look on the image. I also added some purple shades to her brunette hair.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Hugs,

Iris

Cozy Cardi!

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

For this project, I inked up the sweet new image from Time 4 Tea Designs called 'Cozy Cardi'. I also used a sentiment from the new 'Chalkboards 2' set from  SC Designs.

I stamped the image and sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Ink, coloured the image with Copicmarkers, and sponged around both pieces with Distress Ink.



The papers are from Basic Grey 'Pyrus' 6 x 6 paper pad, and I only had small pieces left so arranged them in a pattern with wide lace covering where they didn't quite meet! (cheeky I know!)

  

I framed the image and sentiment with Nestabilities Romantic Rectangles and attached with mounting foam. To finish I embellished with some roses and pearls.

You can see more details on my Blog;  Embellished ExpresShan's.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

You are my Sunshine

Happy Wednesday Whimsy Fans and welcome to the Whimsy blog!

Today I am sharing a card made with one of the newer stamps from Whimsy Stamps' Time 4 Tea designs - Sunflower. I also used some older whimsy stamps. 

 I started out by masking of part of the card using torn paper, so I could spray the top and bottom separately green and blue using Dylusions spray inks. Then I used a mini cloud stencil and some gesso to make the cloud. I ended up adding more gesso over the whole sky part because I wasn't completely happy how the sky looked. 

 

Next I stamped Whimsy's "Live Defined" background, masking the grass portion, as I only wanted the words on the sky part. 

On the bottom portion I used the a mini tile texture stencil and some water mist to lighten parts of the ink and to create a fun texture. Next I stamped some grass onto the card. I wanted a little border so I used Whimsy's tree stamp from the set "For all the Women in our Lives" and black archival ink. 

 

The image itself was stamped onto copic blending card and colored using copic markers. Fussy cut and adhered to the card. Sentiment is included with the fun "Sunflower" image by Whimsy's Time4Tea designs. I finished it off my adding a couple small punched out butterflies.

 

Hope you have a fabulous day, 

 

Sunflower!

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

This card was made using the adorable "Sunflower" from Time 4 Tea Designs, and "Life's Moments" sentiment set by SC Designs. I have also used the Whimsy Lovely Lace Tape 'Ivory No 5'. All of these are available at the Whimsy Stamps store.



I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Ink, coloured with Copic markers, and sponged around image with Distress Ink.

You can see more details on my Blog;  Embellished ExpresShan's.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

You make my heart sing

Happy Wednesday Whimsy fans, and thank you for stopping by today!

Ellie here, it's my turn to share a Whimsy creation with you. I hope you like it! It's a card I had posted on my blog earlier this month.

The main stamp is from Whimsy's Time 4 Tea designs - Flower Girl. She's been colored with copics and I used my cutterbee scissors to cut her out.

The background has also been stamped using mostly stamps from Whimsy Stamps - All you need is Love by SC designs. The music sheet background that I used is not from Whimsy, but you can find a similar one at the Whimsy Store. 

To create the background I simply stamped the winged heart image from "All you need is love" set, music sheet background, and the little hearts from the set named above, using antique linen distress ink onto white card stock.  I also stamped the winged heart image around the edges, but just part of it. Then I inked the card stock with spun sugar and antique linen distress inks and distressed the edges using a distressing tool (you can also use scissors for this).

I layered the card onto some designer paper from MME, did some sewing and added some twine, and then adhered it onto the kraft card base. The sentiment is also from that same stamp set. 

Here are the direct links to the Whimsy products I use,

Flower Girl

All you need is Love

and as I mentioned above, I recommend the music notes background stamp too, if you don't already have one in your collection.

Have a fabulous day and

happy stamping!

Shy Girl

Hello Everyone Iris here! Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend so far! Today I like to show you a card I made with one of the new Time For Tea Designs images 'Shy Girl'.

I colored her with Distress Inks. She was stamped onto Fluid hot press watercolor paper. I've been neglecting my Distress Inks for quite a while now and I'm trying to use them more often. It's always just so fast and easy to color using alcohol markers. But definitely enjoy coloring with DI, it's so relaxing and I love the soft look of it! 

 

This is also my inspiration card for our new Whimsy FB Group Challenge.
Come and join our group to enter the challenge. There's still plenty of time as the challenge runs until February 28th. This month you can win a $15 Whimsy Voucher!!

Hugs,

For my card I inked up the adorable Snowflake Bauble rubber stamp illustrated by Jo Davies of Time For Tea Designs for Whimsy Stamps. My sentiment is from the Holiday Sliders 3 stamp set and I cut it out using the coordinating Slider 3 die. I also used the fabulous Tall Timber die, the Rocking Horse die and one of the dies from the Ornaments die set as embellishments:
