Singing God's Praises w/Whimsy Stamps

It's such a treat to have you stop by today as I share this sweet and simple card I created for Whimsy Stamps.  I always have such fun creating with all their wonderful stamps and dies.  Sadly, this is my last month of designing for Whimsy.  My new adventure with Creative Worship Stamps begins in January.  Praise God for His perfect timing and His many blessings in our lives.  This sentiment, "singing your praises" is exactly what I'm doing.  God's timing is always perfect, and His ways are always best.  It's a privilege and a joy to follow Him.

I used white watercolor paper for the base and the pretty frame.  The frame was cut using the Spring Ovals Dies.  I used Tumbled Glass Oxide Ink for the background and then I added some Twinkle Lights Paper Glaze Luxe using the Twinkle Stencil for added texture.  I love the bit of glimmer it gives the background.

I used the sweet Tweetie Pie Stamp Set to stamp the image of the birds on their perch.  The sweet sentiment and musical notes are also found in this same stamp set.  I colored the image using my Copics and added some ultra-fine glitter to the "snowy" parts of the branch.  I used a leaf die to add some sweet foliage to the branches.

That's about it for this sweet little Winter card.  Be sure to stop by my Instagram Page to Follow me there, and then check out Whimsy Stamps to find all these fabulous products and more.  It's always a treat to have you visit me and I appreciate it so much.

Merry Christmas w/Whimsy Stamps

I love making Christmas cards.  They're probably my most favorite cards (next to coffee cards, perhaps).  At Whimsy Stamps, you can always find lots of great Christmas stamps, dies and products to help you create beautiful Christmas cards.  Well, truth be told, Whimsy Stamps has products for every occasion.  I just happen to especially love all their great Christmas products.  This card combines a few of their fabulous goodies.

I started with basic black cardstock layered with white watercolor cardstock paper.  I also used the watercolor paper to cut the frame using the Spring Ovals Frame Dies.  I inked the edges and splattered the frame with acrylic paints.  The ornaments were first stamped using the Elegant Ornaments Stamp Set.  Once they were stamped, I cut them using the coordinating Elegant Ornaments Die.  You'll notice in the above photo that I also created a matching envelope for the card.

The sweet holly leaves and berries, which I colored with my Copics, were stamped using the Fadoodle Holly Clear Stamp Set and I cut them by hand.  As I look at my photos, I'm wishing I had also inked the outside scallop on my white oval frame.  The sweet sentiment I stamped uses the Elegant Ornaments Stamp Set.  There are various Merry Christmas stamps in this sweet versatile stamp set.

As I mentioned, Whimsy Stamps has SO many amazing stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders, Confetti Mixes and much more.  You'll find amazing inspiration on all of the Whimsy Stamps social media.  Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today, and please visit (and Follow) me on my Instagram Page.  I always appreciate your visits and comments.

Dash Away to Christmas w/Whimsy Stamps

Ever since I joined the InstaPinners Design Team at Whimsy Stamps, I've fallen more and more in love with all their fabulous stamps, dies, stencils, embossing folders and papers, etc.  If you're a big fan of Halloween, you'll LOVE all the fabulous inspiration on the Whimsy Stamps social media.  There are some fun Instagram Hops and new releases headed your way as well.  Since I'm not a huge fan of Halloween or making Halloween cards, I thought I'd get started on a few more Christmas cards.

This card uses basic white cardstock (top) and a pretty patterned paper from the Cozy Winter 6x6 Paper Pad.  There are so many lovely patterned papers in this gorgeous pack.  The top portion was stamped using several different images from the Dash Away Stamp Set in Kitch, Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass oxide inks.  I also added a length of vintage lace.  I also added a snowflake which is from a package of paper snowflakes (Hobby Lobby) and it's topped with the gold leaves from the New Joy Word Dies.

The word JOY, the ornament pieces, leaves and ALL the stamped images I used are found in the awesome Dash Away Stamp Set.  The pretty and delicately sweet oval was cut using the Spring Ovals Die Set.  Gorgeous, right?  Some rusty jingle bells tied with Pink Baker's Twine were the finishing touch.  OH, and all those pretty sprinkles around my card are a Confetti Mix.  There are so many fabulous mixes from which to choose.

Thanks for visiting me today.  I'd be thrilled to have you also visit my Instagram and Pinterest because I need all the Followers I can get (I have SO few).  There's always loads of great inspiration on the Whimsy Stamps social media accounts as well.  I appreciate your visit here today.

Peace On Earth Challenge - Anything Christmas - Challenge #71 - I was inspired by the softer tones in the inspiration photo on this card.

Whimsy Stamps FUN

I'm having such a BALL being on the InstaPinners Design Team for Whimsy Stamps and creating cards with all their wonderful stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils and more.  This one set I'm using today is SO cute that this is my second card using it, and I know I'll be using it again soon.  How CUTE is this? 

I used black and two shades of pink cardstock for my card base.  I used the adorable Spring Ovals Dies on my card from vellum and cardstocks.  The center piece cut using the Spring Oval Dies was where I stamped the adorable bunny floating away with his balloons.

The little sentiment tag was cut using the tag die found in the Atlas Jar Dies, and it was stamped with a little sentiment from the Bunny Balloons Stamp Set.  The tiny bow was cut also using the Atlas Mason Jar Dies and I placed a sweet little Princess Pearl in the center of the bow.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous Whimsy Stamps inspiration on the Whimsy Stamps Blog and all across social media.  There are several different teams sharing lots of different stamping styles using ALL the fabulous products from Whimsy Stamps.  You won't want to miss a thing.  Thanks so much for visiting me again today.

Blessings,
