You Did It!

The year is flying by and if you have a child graduating this year life will soon be full of dress and suit shopping! 

The new Penguin Graduation digital stamp paired with a Graduation digital sentiment is perfect for congratulating your graduate! I decided to make my card with a feminine feel to it for something a little different. 

After sizing, printing and colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut it and went around the edge with a black marker to clean up any white edges that were left.  I chose some some feminine papers including some lined paper and added a letter edge to with a die. Graduation day is the perfect photo opportunity day too so I added a film strip die for fun. Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Hoppy Easter

Welcome back Whimsy fans! This year is flying by and Easter will be here before we know it! 
The new Penguin Easter Bunny digital stamp is the perfect stamp to get a head start on your Easter cards! He really is too cute with his big floppy ears isn't he?! 

After sizing, printing and colouring my stamp with alcohol markers, I fussy cut him using my trusty cuticle scissors.  A piece of cotton ball is the perfect soft, puffy bunny tail isn't it?! I ran a black marker around the edges to clean up any white edges that I missed with my scissors. Next I built my scene using a stitched die for the grass, a fence die and added some clouds using ink, a dauber and a cloud die cut. The sentiment was done on my computer and sized and printed to fit. Some ribbon and gumdrops finish off my card.

Hittin' The Slopes

We are hittin' the slopes with "Penguin Skier" from the new digital stamp release at Whimsy Stamps. 

I love Crissy Armstrong's penguins - they are always up to something and this month is no exception as we get ready for winter and snow!

After printing my stamp and colouring it with alcohol markers, I hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white border. Glossy accents on his goggles and liquid applique on his hat give some fun textures. Next I printed my digital papers and laid out my easel card design. I added two different sentiments and added some snow hills cut my the stitched border die trio and trees to create my scene. Some twine and a few gumdrops finish off my card.

Dream

Happy Sunday Whimsy fans! I hope you are having a nice, relaxing day.

I have been playing with the "Butterfly Friends" digital stamp by Crissy Armstrong, one of my favourites. 
I have had this one half coloured since it was released in March but I was "stuck" on the colours and layout so I left it ...until now. 
This morning (way too early I might add) the creative train came rushing into the building and things just kind of fell into place. Anyone else ever had that happen? 

After completing my colouring with alcohol markers, I cut out my stamp using a stitched square die. I went in afterwards and used some baby blue ink and a cloud die cut to add some clouds in the background. 

Some corner dies, lace ribbon and enamel dots finish off my card

4 Paws and A Wet Nose

Sometimes you just need a therapist! I personally love my therapist. He is all of 10 lbs and cute as a button with just enough "saucy" to keep me on my toes some days. 

He also loves to cuddle and when I come home and I pick him up he gives me a "hug" by putting his head on my shoulder and snuggling in to my neck. Doesn't matter what has happened in my day this is the perfect way to end a day! 

"Am I Forgiven" digital stamp from Whimsy Stamps reminds my of my little cuddle monster. 

After printing my stamp and colouring it with alcohol markers I cut it out with a stitched oval die. I printed my patterned paper and cut it to size. Then, holding my breath, I cut the middle of my card out and added plastic packaging so it is see through. The inside cardstock is cut to size and I added some paw prints down the side. After making my sentiment on my computer I printed it and mounted it on matching cardstock, added my stamped image, some ribbon and enamel dots and voila!
