A Fairy Sweetie from Whimsy Stamps - Copic Coloring

Hello everyone!  I'm excited to share a card with you today.  I colored this fairy named Sweetie from Sylvia Zet while at the Whimsy Stamps Retreat with the wonderfully creative and talented Faye.  It was wonderful to sit with a friend I've known for years but had never met in person.

After coloring this beauty with Copics, I cut her out with the Basic Stitched Ovals Die.  I simply stamped the hello from the Fly By clear stamp set in Nocturne Versafine Clair.  I also added a few gold accents with irRESISTable Pico, bling and finally a white sheer bow.

Each product I used can be found below.  Just click on the image and you will find the product in the Whimsy Store.

      

Copic Markers are also available at Whimsy Stamps HERE.

Hello - Whimsy Stamps and Wee Ruby

Hi ya everyone!
I'm sharing an adorable card I made using a Wee Rubber stamp, Ruby, from Whimsy Stamps!  I love purchasing from Whimsy Stamps.  Items arrive quickly and they are high quality.

I always start by stamping my image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on X-Press It paper.  I colored Ruby in my Copics as follows:

Skin:  E000, E00, E04, E11

Pants:  BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78

Shirt/Vest:  R43, R46, E09 and YR61, YR65, YR68

Flowers:  R43, R46, E09, YR61, YR65, YR68, YR20, YR21, YR24, YR27, YG91, YG93, YG95

Hair:  E41, E42, E44, E47, E49

Background:  BG0000, BG000

After my image is colored, I mount the image on red card stock and trim the edges to a 1/4" width.  I cut a card base in white Neenah card stock to 5x10 and fold at the 5" mark on the 10" side forming a 5x5 card.  I cut another piece of red card stock at 4 1/2" and added an adorable piece of paper from Echo Park I Love Family 6x6 pad on top.  This sheet was cut to 4 1/4" and then mounted on the red card stock.  

I used the Whimsy Stamp dies called Double Scallop Border and the Corner die (both are retired).  I adhered the Double Scallop Border die to a piece of Echo Park I Love Family paper and placed this on top of my base papers and then mounted all of it to the card base.  I finished my card by adding the sentiment, heart stickers, sheer ribbon and opal paper pen.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and make sure to head over to the wonderful Whimsy Store to find your own images today.  They also have a beautiful blog where you can find inspiration from all!  Don't forget they also have a DT call happening now!!!  

A Wee Little Card

Hi ya blogging world.  I missed coloring my Wee Rubber Stamps.  I decided to pull out this cutie today, Sweet Sparkle.  She was colored in Copics and mounted on Simple Stories Vintage Bliss 6x6 paper.  I used my Viva Opal Paper Pen, Glossy Accents and Stardust Stickles to enhance the image with sparkle and shine.

Here you can see the glossy accents on the lantern.  I love that shine and it makes the glass look real!

The flowers were from I Am Roses and adhered with hot glue.

Have a great day!

A Fairy Fun Tag

Hi ya everyone!  I'm sharing on the Whimsy blog today a tag I made with the ADORABLE Wee Stamp set called Flower Fairies.  There are two sweet fairies in this set and they come with sentiments too!

 

So sweet right?  I colored this sweetie up in my Copics and used some fun papers and embellishments.  Here is a close-up of this cutie!

Just For You and a Naughty Puppy

Hi ya everyone!  Today, I'm sharing a sweet little puppy card I made for fun.  The stamps are from Whimsy and were created from the very talented Sylvia Zet of Wee Stamps.  This guy is from the Naughty Puppy Rubber Stamp set and so is the sweet sentiment.  I colored this sweetie up in my Copic markers and paired them with a bit of gorgeous paper from Simple Stories.  Make sure to pop over to Whimsy's blog to enjoy more fabulousness from the design team!

Happy Valentine's Day with Whimsy!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I know you are all are done creating for Valentine's Day and on to spring cards but I wanted to created one more pink and red card to share.  It's not a Valentine's Day card per say, but the colors are reminiscent.  I love this cute little baby image from Wee Stamps called Birthday Baby Girl.

I colored her in my Copics and then paired her with some adorable paper from Echo Park.  The lace tape you see is from Whimsy along with the adorable corner die cuts.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from 2 Cute Ink set called Happy Birthday to You. 

I hope you enjoyed this simple project today and were inspired to create your own project using Whimsy Stamps products!

A Wee bit of Inspiration!

Hi ya everyone!  I'm excited to tell you that I'm a guest designer this month for Sylvia Zet and Wee Stamps.  I have to be honest, I love these adorable characters that Sylvia the artist and owner of Wee designs.  They are simply the sweetest.  Since I'm a member of the Whimsy Magazine Design team I get to work with Wee Stamps all the time in rubber.  Did you know they come as digitals too?  All month I'll be sharing cards with Wee stamps on the blog.

The above creation was made for Issue 9 of the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Magazine.  I used the adorable Fluffy Hanging in There and a number of fun embellishments including moon and star charm, ornate corners and the sentiment from the Party Mini Letter Seals.

Thanks for stopping by today and make sure to head over the Wee Stamps blog all month long!

Whimsy February Challenge

Hi ya everyone!  There is a new challenge on the Whimsy Inspirations Blog today!  The challenge is fancy edges!  I thought this would be a perfect challenge to use my Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities!  These are fabulous for making fun shaped cards.  I have a tutorial right HERE on how to make shaped cards using Spellbinders.  The adorable image is a Wee rubber stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Playful Kittens.  Four cuties come in this set with a number of sentiments.  I paper pieced the heart with my My Mind's Eye Blush paper.  The kitty was colored in my Copic markers.  The fancy edges that you see behind the kitty was made with the NEW Whimsy die cut Lace Doily Corner 2.

Make sure to join us for the Whimsy Challenge - fancy edges this month!  If you haven't gotten a chance to check out the new January release you must!!!  There are so many cute images and new dies.  You can find all of them showcased HERE.

Thinking of You...

Hi ya everyone!
Today, I'm sharing a little card I made using the adorable rubber stamp from Whimsy stamps.  This stamp is a Wee stamp design by Sylvia Zeit and I LOVE all of them.  This sweetie is called Hopeful and can be found in the MarkerPop store.
I chose papers from Glitz Designs called Cashmere Dame and paired it with Bazzill card stock Patina.  The small enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye.  The Thinking of You sentiment is from My Craft Spot.  The cream crinkle ribbon is from an Etsy shop called Prairie Bird Boutique.  I also used a Paper Pen for the little pearls all over.  Hopeful was colored in Copics.  I tried something new and colored her skin in YR000, YR00, E11 and E04.  That's the challenge at MarkerPop this week!  Color skin out of your comfort zone.  Tomorrow, I'll share a Copic tutorial on coloring dark skin!  Hope you'll join me.

Merry Christmas!

Hi ya everyone!
I love WEE stamps!  I won a few the other day on a giveaway and then I went back and got some more.  They are in digital form from Sylvia Zet and you find them right HERE.  A few are also available in rubber at MarkerPop.  I used the new Simon Says Stamps dies and clear stamp called Small Folded Banners Holiday for the Merry Christmas.  The holly leaf is a die cut from Sizzix called Holly w/Berries #5.  The lace is from Ribbon Carousel and the paper is from Glitz Joyeux Noel.  The bling can be found at MarkerPop and is from Prima Marketing.  The base was made with Bazzil cardstock String of Pearls
This card will be available in my Etsy shop.

Thinking of You at MarkerPop

Hi ya everyone,
  Today, I'm sharing a fun tutorial on the MarkerPop blog, how to create an easy whimsical sky with Copics.  I used this technique to create the fun image below.
