Whimsy Stamps - Elf Sized Funky Frames Tags

 I am getting ready for wrapping Christmas presents and made a few more tags for my packages!  I used the Funky Frames die to create these tags.   I die cut them twice and then layered a piece of white cardstock in between.  


I stamped the sentiment onto each of the frames from Elf Sized stamp set.   I then stamped out the images from Elf Sized stamp set and colored with my Copic markers.   



I added the images to my tags with foam tape.  I left the back of the tags blank so that you can add your to and from or a specific message to the tag.  



I punched a hole at the top and added some red and white twine.  Take a look at your dies to see what you can make a tag from.  You don't need a specific tag die to create them!

Whimsy Stamps - Nativity Critters

 Hello!  

I hope you have had a wonderful long weekend!  I have been all in the holiday spirit with decorating for the holidays.   I created this card today during a little break, this is a stamp set that I had been itching to create a card with called Nativity Critters.


It is a red rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps.   It already comes cling foam mounted ready to stamp.  I stamped Nativity Critters and then colored with my Copic markers.   

I stamped the background with the Buffalo Plaid Background stamp in kraft ink onto kraft cardstock and die cut out with the Quilted Rainbow die.  I tied some hemp twine around the panel and added it to a craft card base.   

Are you ready for the holidays?   The sentiment is from Butterflies stamp set. 

Thank you for stopping by!   Have a great day!

Whimsy Stamps - Funky Frames

 

Hey there!  I am popping in to share this Slimline card made using the new Funky Frames die set from Whimsy Stamps!  This is a new release for November and I have paired it with the Holiday Postage stamp set.   They are the perfect sized stamps to fit inside these frames. 


I die cut the Funky Frames from red and green cardstock.   I then trimmed some Neenah white cardstock to fit the frame and then stamped my images to create my little mini scenes.   I added some of the tiny greetings for each of the framed scenes.   


I colored my images with Copic markers.  I added some details with my white gel pen, clear sparkle pen and crystal glaze.  I added them to the frames and added to the card panel with foam tape.   Now, this next step, I have to admit - I was nervous to splatter it with the white paint but I was so happy that I did!  I think it really steps up the design and pops off the panel! 



Thank you for stopping by!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Club La-La Land Crafts - More Inspiration with the November Kit

 Hey there! I am back to share more inspiration with the November 2020 Club La-La Land Crafts kit!  

I made two slimline cards today with the November release.  First up, I made this card with the new Marci with Sled and Bear Hugs stamp sets.   I started by stamping and coloring my images with my Copic markers.  See below for the full marker list.  

I trimmed kraft cardstock down to 3.5 inches by 8.25 inches.   I then splattered it with some white paint.  I set aside to dry and cut out my die cuts.   I trimmed 4 panels of white cardstock with the Snow Banks die included in the Novemer kit.   For each layer, I lined the edges with glue and sprinkled with glitter.  


I then die cut white paper with the Fence on a Hill die and layered it above the snow banks.  I stamped a sentiment onto a rectangle die cut from the Curved Pocket die.  


Copics: 
Face E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, R85
Hair E21, E23, E25, E29
Coat, Boots, Hat E30, E31, E33, E40, E41, E42, E44
Scarf & MIttens BG10, BG11, BG53, BG48
Bear W6, W4, W2, Y11, Y13, Y15, R20,
YG01, YG03, YG67, E43, E42
Sled R24, R27, R29, C1, C0


For my next card, I used Distress Oxides to create a snowy night time background using Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet and Spun Sugar.   I splattered it with white paint as well. 


I stamped the bears from Bear Hugs and colored with my Copic markers and added details with my white gel pen.  

Copics
Bears W2, W4, E43, E42, R20
Scarf & Hat BG10, BG11, BG53, R21, R22, R24
Scarf & Hat YG17, YG03, YG01, R24, R27, R29
Smoke stacks C1, C3 



I die cut the snow border by using the Snow Banks die and extending it to cover the entire slimline card panel.  I die cut kraft and white cardstock with the Winter Houses die.  I layered the kraft on top of the white houses and left the roof and smoke stack white.   I added a little bit of Copic coloring to the smoke stack.

Club La-La Land Crafts November Monthly Kit Reveal

Hey there!  It's time for a new Club La-La Land Crafts Monthly November Kit!   It is totally adorable and you will love both the stamps and dies!   


 I started with this slimline design card with the new Bear Hugs stamp set and the Winter Houses and Snow Banks dies.   


I used the Endless Summer Paper Pack to draw inspiration for my color combinations today.   I love the blues, greens and aquas with a splash of pink that paired perfectly for a wintery scene.   I used some of the patterned paper to create my card panel.   I die cut 6 Stitched Zigzags navy die cuts and placed them on either end of the panel.  I then added an oval die cut from the Stitched Elements die as a base for my stamped images. 


I stamped all three bears from Bear Hugs and colored with my Copic Markers: 

Bears E30, E31, E33. E34, E50, E51, R20
Hats G85, G82, G40, BG53, BG11, BG000, BG0000, BG01
Scarf B39, B34, B37

I trimmed them out and added some details with a white gel pen.  


I die cut the Winter Houses die from white cardstock and then lined the windows with some aqua scraps.  I added some glitter to the roofs to minic snow.   I cut the Snow Banks die from white cardstock and then layered the houses and bears onto the panel.    The sentiment is from Bear Hugs!   Everyone could use a hug right now!  I finished it off by adding some stitched stars from the Stitched Elements die.  





Next up, I created this card with the Marci with Sled stamp set.   I used the same Endless Summer paper pack and then drew off the pinks to add more color pop to the card!   I stamped Marci with Sled and colored with my Copic markers.   See the list below.   


Copics
Skin E000, E00, E21, E11, R20, R85
Coat and leggings G85, G82, G40, C1, C3
Hat, Mittens and Scarf RV63, RV66, RV69
Sled E30, E31, E34, E35, C0, C1, C3
Boots and Cuffs E70, E71, E74, E77
Hair YR24, YR21, Y21



I die cut some of the Stitched Zigzags and added to the card panel along with the patterned paper.   I added a Pierced Scalloped Circle to create my foundation for my images.  I always like to ground them to the card.   I die cut the Fence on a Hill die and added one of the Winter Houses to the card panel.   If you order the kit, I share a full tutorial on this card - this is one of the perks for the monthly Club Kit members!

SugarPea Designs Mix It Up Challenge - Christmas Cheer

 Hey there! It's time for a new Mix It Up Challenge at SugarPea Designs!   I made a cute Christmas card using this month's sketch.   I die cut an aqua card panel with the large stitched die from the Card Front Element Builder.   I dry embossed it with the Falling Snow Stencil. 





You can see the embossing in real life but it is hard to see in the photos but it adds just a subtle texture to the card.   I die cut a white panel with the slope border die twice.   I then edge the ends with some glue and sprinkled with glitter.   






I stamped the images from Christmas Cheer and trimmed them out.  I then colored with my Copic markers.   I added some details with a white gel pen.   I popped them up with foam tape onto the panel.  



Come play along with this month's challenge!   Check out below for more information on how to play along and enter a chance to win!

Whimsy Stamps - Dragon New Year

 Hey there!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.   I am sharing a card that I made with the new Dragon New Year stamp set from the Whimsy Stamps November release.   This stamp is so cute!   I stamped it out and colored with my Copics.  I loved creating the effect of the dragon in the punch bowl! 



This sentiment says it all doesn't it!   It is from the Dragon New Year stamp set.   I die cut a circle to ground my image using the Pierced and Stitched Circle die.   



The card panel was die cut using the Extreme Postage die and the Rainbow 6x6 paper pack.  



I hope you have a wonderful day!

Whimsy Stamps - Fairy Thoughtful

Hey there!  Sharing a card with a new stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Fairy Thoughtful.  Isn't she adorable!  I paired it with the Glitter Globe stamp set.   




I stamped all my images onto Neenah 80 lb and then colored with my Copic markers.   I trimmed all the pieces out.   I added some clear sparkle glitter pen and some Distress Stickles.   



For my card panel, I created the background using the Quilted Rainbow Inlaid die.  I trimmed some blue cardstock and then used only the outside scalloped die and die cut some white card stock for the snow.  I die cut the snow border with the Kinetic Curved Hills.   I stamped a sentiment from Dragon New Year.   



I added some snowflakes from the Shaker Maker Glitter Globe die.  The new Fairy Thoughtful is such a cute stamp!
