Whimsy's Easter Bunny

I think Whimsy Stamps has a huge selection of Bunny Stamps both by Crissy Armstrong and by Sylvia Zet.  This Easter Bunny stamp is one of my favorites and has been in my collection for some time. For the month of March, it is now being released in the digital format also.  You can click here to visit the Whimsy online store and add Easter Bunny - Digital Stamp to your shopping cart.

Here's the card I made using the Easter Bunny Digital Image and a few details of my project for you to be able to make your own.

The white card base is 5 1/2" square, with the solid green mat measuring 5 1/4" square.  The galaxy paper is 5" using the Tattered Lace, Lacy Days Square die cut.  I added a 1" strip of matching yellow next.  The image is printed on Neenah 110# card stock and I used Copic markers for coloring. *(referenced below) I used the 4 1/2" die in the same set, to cut the image, but re-cut the vertical edge at ~3 1/2".  After the die cutting, then I added the small pearls to the flower centers on the egg, and the raised Happy Easter oval  on the bottom left.   I added an aqua organza soft bow for the finishing touch.

Maybe you'd like to receive one of these sweet Easter bunny cards during the upcoming season or make one for someone special.  I'd love to see your creation - be sure to post it on Whimsy's Stamps and Inspiration page on Facebook and tag me.  

Thanks for stopping by today - I always welcome your comments.

It's New Release Day at Whimsy Stamps and today I'm featuring the digital image of Crissy Armstrong's Noah's Ark.  This image is also available in Rubber Cling.

Here's my project card and then a few details in case you'd like to make one also. 

This image is printed on Neenah 110# card stock and Copic colored*.   The image piece is 5 1/4" square with a 1/8" black shadow mat, then an aqua wave patterned mat... all glued and mounted on a 6" white card base.  The bottom piece of the ark (tan lighter piece) is paper pieced using the March digital woodgrain paper, Wood Planks #6.  I did slightly lighten the wood papers knowing I needed the contrast since I wanted to have the darker monkey's for this project.  I pulled the sentiment from Rainy Day Sentiments by La-La Land. 

Hope you enjoy this fun card today.  It and many others are for sale or ordering if not readily available.  Your comments are always welcome.

Sometime last year, one of Gina K's masculine cards on Pinterest caught my eye because of the beautiful shades of the sunset  she had created.  When I stopped and looked closer, I liked it even more because of the depth she created in positioning the vintage truck in her scene.  It was a great design, one I knew I'd like to try to create 'one day'.   

That card kept popping up when I'd think about doing a sunset card, or a masculine card... so the search began for just the right size stamps to make the proportions look right.  This was not easy! Everything was too big.  Just when I'd about given up, one of my favorite Facebook sellers (Paper Crafts Buying and Selling)  just happen to post a Deep Red Windmill stamp. That was it!  Part one...which opened the door to searching Deep Red's stamps for the Classic Pick Up Truck and BINGO ~ part two. 

Copic coloring trucks, especially vintage trucks, seems to be something that a lot of Copic artist are attracted to.  

After playing around with  my Oxide inks and the Deep Red Windmill stamp, then diligently going through my templates to find the best fit for the depth of this design, here is the finished card.

My take on Gina K's design ~ 

... sent to one very special nephew who's daily life always seems to be full of adventures. 

I'm so very proud of his accomplishments as a single parent and throughout his working career.  Even when things go not as planned, I can hear him say "It will be okay.",  and he knows it will because he will never give up.  He is the perfect example of living the width of each day as well.

A Day Filled with Beautiful Things

What kind of card do you make for a February birthday when the weather outside is cold, and wet, and the wind is blowing.... 

Why of course - you pull out a bright and cheerful Phyllis Harris /Unity stamp  ~ Face the Sunshine!

It's the perfect card for my friend Debbie who always blesses me with a warm smile from the church choir every time when she sees me sitting in my pew row.  We are part of a circle of women who love the Lord greatly, so I added the button representing the dots for the women and the heart for God is our center.    And like the sunflowers faces the sun for warmth and refreshment, we too face our Savior for renewal each day.  He fills our lives with beautiful things ~ especially good friends!  Happy Birthday Debbie ~ you are loved by so very many!

Who Is Sent to Make a Difference

Today's featured card started out to be a birthday card for a "new" friend that I met a few months ago.   But I kept thinking  about every day of our lives we are given the opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.  What started out as a casual conversation, turned to a deeper discussion over our love of photography, and not long afterwards we somehow knew there had to be a reason that our paths had crossed.

While this Unity Stamp image reminds me of her,  Stamp actually carries the perfect name for my friend ~ 

Grace of Letting Go. 

  

So many times we go through a valley in our lives, we need a friend to hold our hand so we don't feel alone...we need to be reminded that our God is only a prayer away.  It's so easy to give Him our issues - but we have to let go of them also.  

My amazing friend did just that.  

Today, I am thankful that we both took the time to nurture this friendship, that even though we were not life long friends she was willing to reach out in a time of need, and I am so grateful that our loving Lord answered our prayers.

We will always be able to look back at the start of this friendship knowing it truly started with God's Grace is Enough.

A Totally Tiger-Rific Birthday!

I am totally excited today!!!  ~  

After making my second Kinetic slider card using Whimsy's new dies and NOT having to refer to the instructional video or any instructions at all, I  know that YOU will LOVE these new dies and the endless possibilities of card designs they bring for you to try out!  

Earlier this month Designer Crissy Armstrong released with Whimsy Stamps four animal stamps to be used as sliders with the new Kinetic dies.   Today, February 21st  in the at 12 noon, a special release from Whimsy is being distributed featuring several of these animals showing different design ideas by some of the Whimsy Digital Design Team.   My card is below, in the 'home' and in the 'second' position, showing you how this Copic colored Tiger is sliding that glittered football right over the goal line to make a touch down for a great birthday card!

I hope you will CLICK the highlighted areas to link back to the Whimsy Stamp site and purchase the Tiger or one of the other great slider animals and the Kinetic die sets - give them a try!  I don't think you will have any regrets and you will be turning out some really great Slider cards in a matter of just an little bit!

So here's my Totally Tiger-Rific card in the home position ~ 

And you notice you can not see any holes like the old style slider... you simply pull the slider tab on the left  - straight out - 

and the Tiger slides forward pushing the glittered football over the goal line to make a touch down!

Being from South Carolina  ~ home of the Clemson University Tigers, this image would especially be a hit for card makers around my area!  

The digital image for the Sliding Tiger can be found by clicking  Here.  I used the No-See Kinetic Basic Die Set and the Kinetic Curved Basic Die Set.  

Jennifer Dove worked with Whimsy on designing the Kinetic dies and did a great YouTube video/tutorial that will get you started your first time around.  Here is the link to that video:

Peachy Friends

What's up with a PEACH Valentine card THREE days after Valentine's Day?  No, I didn't get it during the 80% off day after sales....   This one was actually made several weeks ago in the 'aqua-greens and peach shades' as a birthday card for my crafting BFF.  With her birthday being on Valentine's day and red being her least favorite color, I knew this color combination and layout would be a hit for her!  

This image is Whimsy Stamp's digital image of "Penguin Valentine" by designer Crissy Armstrong.  Copic colors used are referenced at the end of the blog.  I used a X-Stitched oval die by Gina Marie Designs  and also a Scalloped Stitched Edge Die by My Favorite Things.  The card base is 5 1/2" square and the LOVE Retro button is actually a magnet attached with my normal liquid adhesive glue.  

Thank you for stopping by today to see what card I have featured. Your comments are always welcomed.

Be Mine ~ with Whimsy's Doggie Skywriter

Flying in on Valentine's Day 2019 to see if you will 

"Be Mine" with Whimsy Stamps,  "Doggie Skywriter Valentine" stamp designed by Crissy Armstrong.

This Whimsy stamp is perfect for my grandson. I used Copic markers for coloring and a Gina Marie die cut that reminded me of a cloud.  I didn't have a 'frame die' to make the shaker box so I taped two square dies together (1/2" between the sizes), then cut the design paper and six additional pieces of white paper.  I elected to use the white paper instead of sticky foam tape because of using candy to fill the shaker. After assembly of the white pieces, then I added the full piece of acetate, then the patterned paper on top and set aside.  To prepare the background I used white card stock the same size as the shaker box and sponged the clouds with a die cut stencil and  Oxide Ink.  After it dried, then I added the flying Doggie Skywritter.  I glued a couple of metallic hearts to the clouds, then added the candy sprinkles and hearts into the prepared shaker box and glued the clouds/image on the back of the box. The card base is a 5.5 and I added an additional mat of 5.25 square blue card stock.  The shaker box is glued onto the blue background mat to complete the card. Looks like a lot of step by step instructions - but it goes quickly and I've written it for someone who has not made a shaker box card before.  

Thank you for stopping by today - I do hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day and get to spend time with those you love.

He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not....

Today I wanted to share with you another one of Crissy Armstrong's images that Whimsy Stamps has now released as a digital image.  Fistful of Flowers can be purchased from the Whimsy store as a digital or rubber cling image. 

For this card I wanted to use the Spellbinder Postage Edge die which seem to be extremely popular right now, and I dug around in my supply closet till I came across the Creative Memories Postage Stamp punch also.  

This cute little barefoot girl is colored with Copic markers** and die cut with the Pink & Main Stitched Rectangle die.  I used the Spellbinder Postage Edge die for the coordinating pieces around the girl and then used the Creative Memories Postage Stamp punch for the daisy stamps on the right.  They are attached with orange mini brads to the blue background mat that measures 5 1/4" square.  Once glued into place, the front is attached to a white 5 1/2" square card base and the yellow organza ribbon is added for the finishing touch. 

I hope you will follow the highlighted words to link back to the Whimsy Stamps site and add Fistful of Flowers to your cart today.  She's an image that you can use for many occasions. Thanks for stopping by today ~ your comments are always welcomed.
