Just Because w/Whimsy Stamps

I love all things cute, don't you?  When I first saw the adorable Baby Sea Creatures Stamp Set at Whimsy Stamps, I knew that it was a set I really wanted.  When you're using a stamp set that's this cute, you really can't go wrong.  There are several adorable images and sentiments in this sweet set that will allow you to create cards for a variety of different occasions.  I have so much fun creating with my products from Whimsy Stamps, and I know you'll enjoy them as well.

This card started with a pink cardstock base layered with papers from the Mix & Match 1 6x6 Paper Pad.  I used the Scallop Rectangle Frame Dies to cut the patterned papers as well as to cut the frame and inside piece where I placed my image.  I used the Puddles Stencil with Tumbled Glass oxide ink to make the splashes of water.  The bubbles and adorable octopus are from the Baby Sea Creatures Stamp Set.  The stamped black waves are found in the Fadoodles Too Stamp Set.

I tucked a length of Metallic White Iridescent String underneath the octopus.  He, quite by accident, almost looks like he's jumping rope.  A few sequins were the finishing touch on this simple card.  It's fun to combine a variety of Whimsy Stamps products; and because they carry so many great choices, it's easy to do.

I'd like to thank you once again for visiting my blog.  I'm always super appreciative to have people stop by to take a peek and leave me their thoughts.  I hope you're creating some fun cards this week, and I look forward to seeing them.  Don't miss all the wonderful Whimsy Stamps social media inspiration, and please Follow me on Pinterest and Instagram.  I'd really love that.

Here's where I'm playing along:

25 Days of Christmas w/Paper Sweeties

This is the PERFECT time to head over to Paper Sweeties to check out the Annual 25 Days of Christmas.  There are bargains, giveaways and loads of fabulous inspiration all month long.  You won't want to miss out on everything that's happening as we wrap up the year at Paper Sweeties.

As I've mentioned over the past several days, there are so many great bargains right now at Paper Sweeties; and these sale sets will soon be gone.  It's a great time to grab the You Better Not Pout Stamp Set.  It's one of my favorite Christmas sets because of its darling sentiments that I use over and over again.

The cover of this cute little paper bag album uses the DARLING Scalloped Rectangle Frames Sweet Cuts and they make the most adorable frames.  There are three different sizes in each Scalloped Frame Sweet Cut Set and they come in the rectangle shape, circle, oval and square.  They're darling and another very useful die-cut to have on hand.  The small holly/ivy can be found in the Sweet Mini: Home Stamp Set.

You won't want to miss any of the excitement this month at Paper Sweeties.  Read more about the special sales, the BIG GIVE-AWAY and all the FUN taking place this month as we celebrate the 25 Days of Christmas.  May God bless you and your family this Christmas season and always.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a very Merry Christmas.
