Special Birthday: Whimsy Stamps October Release Showcase Day 7

Hello and welcome to Day 7 of our October Rubber & Die Release Showcase! On Wednesday (October 24th) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, Shapeology dies, Whimsy Designer Paper packs and Shape EZ templates. From then until October 30th, the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop! Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24 hrs to enter each prize draw.

For my card today, I used the adorable Birthday Baby Girl image from illustrator Sylvia Zet.  I have a niece whose birthday is coming up next month so I thought this image would be perfect for her card.

I used patterned papers from the Miss Caroline: Dolled Up paper pad from My Mind's Eye.  I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with copic markers.  I used some stickles to add some sparkle to the candle flame, the centers of the flowers, and the little floating bubbles.

I used the Double Scallope Doily Die to die cut the white frame around the image.  The sentiment is from the Party Mini Letter Seals stamp set.  I used a variety of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and added some Star Dust stickles to the edges of the petals so they sparkle. 

To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT's posts listed below by 12.00PM EST tomorrow. All winners will be announced on the Whimsy blog on October 31st. To take a peek at today's fabulous new release creations, please click on the links below...

Christmas Ornaments: Whimsy Stamps October Release Showcase Day 5

Hello and welcome to Day 5 of our October Rubber & Die Release Showcase! On Wednesday (October 24th) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, Shapeology dies, Whimsy Designer Paper packs and Shape EZ templates. From then until October 30th, the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop! Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24 hrs to enter each prize draw.

(You can click on all the photos to see a larger version.)

Since this was a Christmas release, I wanted to use some Christmas images to make ornaments as gifts for my children.  I used an image from this release as well as images from past releases.  I have two sons and a daughter so I tried to create ornaments that weren't too girly (for the boys) so that meant no lace and such on their ornaments.  (Please excuse the snow that is shaken out of place in this photo as I didn't see it when I was taking photos.)

I stamped all the image on copic x-press it carstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored them with copic markers.  Then, I die cut the images and added foam adhesive around the edges, snowy glitter in the middle, and a piece of clear cardstock over the top to create a shaker.  Then, I added frames around the front to cover the foam adhesive.

This cute Santa and Teddy Portrait image is from illustrator Crissy Armstrong.  It is such a sweet image.  For the boys' ornaments, I added a larger cardstock circle behind the image to help them stand out and wrapped maraschino baker's twine around the shaker to cover the foam adhesive.  I added a string to hang the ornaments, a bow with a button center and bells tied to the tails, and some white poinsettias and holly berries to the top.

This adorable Snow Fun image is also by Crissy.  I thought it was perfect for a shaker ornament because it looks like they are sledding in the snow.

I chose this beautiful Heidi image from illustrator Sylvia Zet for my daughter's ornament.  I finished her ornament a little differently than the boys' ornaments.  I added some lace behind the image and wrapped some pearl string around the foam adhesive to cover it.  (I've had that pearl string in my craft stash for a very, very long time so I have no idea if you can still buy it some place.)  Since I didn't have any red in the image, I didn't want to use the same holly berries so I added some white berries instead.

My Girl: Whimsy August Release Showcase Day 3

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to the Whimsy August Release Showcase Day 3 blog hop! On Wednesday (22 August) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, new Shapeology dies, new digital papers and new Shape EZ by TLC.

From then until 28 August the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop! Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw. To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT's posts listed below by 12.00PM EST tomorrow. All winners will be announced on the Whimsy blog on 29 August.

 
My daughter chose one of the new images for her keepsake box I created for her.  (You can see the box I created for my oldest son here.)  This little cutie is called  Summer Fairy and was drawn by illustrator Sylvia Zet for her Wee Stamps line.  My daughter loves pink so I had to paint her box pink.  I chose an assortment of patterned papers from several different companies.  After trimming them to the size I wanted, I stitched them together and added a paper doily.  I wrapped some lace from Wild Orchid Crafts and some seam binding around the papers before adhering them with mod podge to the box.

I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored her with copic markers.  (I will list the colors below.)  I added an assortment of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Before adding them, I added some stardust stickles to the flowers and let them dry.  (I'm also playing along with the current Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge which is Summer Flowers.)

I added a sentiment from Lili of the Valley's For Her Sentiments set.  The "love you" is from October Afternoon's Farmhouse flower sack.  The silver filigree corners and 5mm white pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the butterfly is a mistable canvas piece from Prima.  I sprayed it with some mister huey's and added some star dust stickles to it.  After it was dry, I wrapped some black thread around the center and created some antenae by coating the thread with glossy accents.  Once it was dry, the antenae were stiff and stayed in place.

I stitched some layered buttons to the center of my bow using denim baker's twine.  (Buttons are from My Favorite Thing's Bubblegum button pack.)  I also added a little heart charm.

I added some Silver Sunrise Thickers along the bottom along with some more pearls and a 40mm classic sweet baby pink rose and some 40mm rose leaves along with more 5mm pearls.

I lined the inside of the box with a piece of pink patterned paper that my daughter chose.  To take a peek at today's fabulous new release creations, please click on the links below...

Case Study Anniversary Blog Hop: Blooming Great Day

Hi Everyone!  I'm excited to be playing along with the Case Study 2nd Anniversary blog hop today.  The Case Study design team (along with past muses) is having a blog hop to celebrate the second aniversary of this fun challenge blog.  I hear there are some fun prizes if you decide to play along, too.  Leave a comment on each blog along the hop to be entered to win.   You can find all the information to join along in the challenge over on the Case Study blog. 

This week's challenge is Signature Style or create something that best reflects your style.  You should have come from Eva Dobilas' blog.  If not, hop on over to the Case Study blog to start the blog hop at the beginning.

I was so honored last year when Iwona asked me to be the muse for the challenges one month and am excited that I get to play along again.  I love the concept of the challenge where designers inspire each other in their creations.

This week's challenge of Signature Style is definitely an easy one.  I've been creating lots of cards this year with colored images.  Hey, I'm sometimes a kid at heart and still love to color. :)

I decided to use this adorable little bear image from Lili of the Valley called Blooming Lovely.  It's been too long since I played with my adorable Lili of the Valley stamps (I miss working for LOTV!  More on that another day. . .) and I had to get the cute little bears when they released them in June.  The stamp comes with the sentiment I used on my card.

I colored the image with copic markers on copic x-press it cardstock.  (Marker colors listed below.)  I used some patterned paper from Studio Calico's Heyday paper pad.  I added lots of stitching and some buttons and capuccino baker's twine.  I also used an assortment of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I am playing along with the current Wild Orchid Crafts challenge which is Round in Circles (or use circles on your card).  I used a doily and buttons so hopefully that is enough! lol


I didn't have any rose buds in the right shade so I lightly colored the tips with a copic marker.  Then, I used my copic blender marker to make the color bleed down the petals.  They turned out pretty darn close to the color of my cherry blossoms.  I also added some stickles to the butterfly, bee's wings, and hearts, but it's kind of hard to see in the photos.

Okay, time to hop along to Andrea Ewen's blog and see what beautiful things she has created.  Thank you again to Iwona for inviting me to play along.  I am truly honored to get to play along with such amazingly, talented designers.

Happy Hopping!

Niki

Happy Birthday: Whimsy June Release Showcase Day 7

Hi Everyone!  Today is the last day of the showcase by the design team and special guests featuring the newly released stamps, dies, and templates.  Each day of the mini hop has a prize hidden somewhere on one of the blogs so be sure to leave comments along the way.

(you can click on the photos for a larger version)

For my card today, I pulled out the cute Fluffy Hanging in There image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  I colored the image with copic markers and used some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Fly a Kite paper pad.  It's an older line, but still one of my favorites.  I added lots of stitching, some crocheted lace, carribean teal twine, and some paper roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.  See that great scalloped circle behind the image.  That's the Double Scallop Doily Die from Whimsy.  (I begged Ann to create a die like this and I just love it!!)  I'm also playing along witht the current Wild Orchid Crafts challenge which is Punch It Out (use punches or dies while creating your card).  The sentiment is from the Treasured Moments Tickets stamp set.

Tomorrow there will be a release round up post over on the Whimsy Blog.  Be sure to pop in to see if you're one of the lucky winners.  To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT posts listed below by 12:00PM EST tomorrow:

twinkle, twinkle little star

Hi Everyone!  I have another cute baby card to share with you today.  I used the adorable Sleeping on the Moon image illustrated by Penny Johnson for Stampavie.  I just love this image!  (I think I love all of Stampavie’s baby images! lol)

I colored the image with copic markers (I had them written down, but I seem to have lost the sticky note.  Sorry!) and used some patterned papers from My Mind’s Eye’s Miss Caroline Howdy Doody paper pad.  I thought this sentiment was perfect for this image.  It's from Verve Stamps.  I love using paper doilies lately so one of those made its way onto my card and I used some yellow stickles on the moon.  Then, I finished off my card with some flowers, pearls, and silver filigree corners from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Have a great weekend!

Moments Filled with Wonder: Whimsy April Release Showcase Day 7

Hi Everyone!  Today is the last day of the Whimsy Stamps April Release Showcase.  Whimsy had their April release last Wednesday so all the new stamps, dies, and template files are available for purchase right now in the store.  The design team and special guests are having mini blog hops each day until April 24th.  There are gorgeous samples and chances to win a free stamp each day so be sure to hop around and leave comments.  :)

For my card today, I decided to use the adorable Goldie image from Sylvia Zet's Wee Stamps line.  I just love this little cutie!  I used a sentiment from the Magical Mini Letter Seals stamp set.  (You can click on all the photos to see the larger full size version.)

I used some patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody paper pad.  I colored the image with copic markers (listed below) and added a little glitter to the flowers on the image.  I added a paper doily and a silver filigree corner, cherry blossom and sweetheart blossom flowers, and pearl spray from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I added some Stardust stickles to my flowers.  (I wish you could see the sparkle better in the photos because it's really pretty on the flowers.)  I made my bow and ribbon strip from some cheesecloth I bought at my local grocery store.  I really love the texture it adds.

Happy Easter

I can’t believe it is already April!  The year seems to be zipping by already.  Since Easter is next weekend, I had to ink up this little cutie (Chirpy from Penny Johnson) this past weekend when I was creating my card for my Stampavie post.  It’s such an adorable image!

I stamped my image using tuxedo black memento ink on copic x-press it cardstock.  I chose some patterned from October Afternoon’s Sidewalks line and colored my image in coordinating colors using copic markers (listed below).  I stitched my patterned papers and added a white paper doily and some flowers and pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Then, I finished off my card with a cute Easter sentiment seal from Catslife Press.

Have a great day!
