No Tricks - All Treats with Hello Bluebird and 7 Kids

Hi ya everyone!  Today I am sharing a card I made during a Saturday Night Live on Facebook!  My products were purchased at 7 Kids.  I used the adorable Hello Bluebird Stamp set called Little Haunters.  I also used Fireworks Sprays to create a watercolored background.

The little characters were colored with Zig markers on Arche's Watercolor Paper!  I used the absolutely adorable new Main Street die from LDRS Creative!  I love this diecut so much.  You can jazz it up or you can use it in silhouette form the way I did.

The sentiment was added in white embossing powder.  You can find the live demonstration HERE:  https://www.facebook.com/MadeForCreativity/videos/1536568649816138/

Hello - Whimsy Stamps July Release Day 1

Hi ya everyone!  Today is Whimsy Stamps Release day and I'm sharing a card I made using two of the new stamps.  First, the large PowerPuff Floral Background stamp.  Isn't it gorgeous?  First, I laid down some of my favorite Fireworks Sprays (Angel Pink, Rose Bud and New Sprout).  I then stamped over the whole thing with Memento Love Letter Ink and the new Power puff background.  I sprayed a sheet of paper with Rosebud and Angel Pink Fireworks and cut out the letters from the new Bold Alphabet Die set and layered the letters three times.  I cut the powerpuff background with my envelope edgers and finished my card!

I hope you enjoy!  When you spend $75 or more at Whimsy Stamps on non-digital items you will receive a free stamp set.  This is the Whimsy Stamps CAS (Customer Appreciation Stamp). 

I've linked all items used below for your convenience:

           

Sweet Peak Day 5 at SugarPea Desings

I could not wait to share this new set from SugarPea Designs.  I absolutely love the little die cut houses and trees.  They also have layers though I didn't use them in this card.  I used my fabulous Fireworks Inks on this card and then splashed water to make clouds.  I also used the Postage Stamp die cut from SugarPea!  You have to see all the gorgeous inspiration and join the blog hop to maybe win a set of your own!

Hugs Bunny and a New Stencil from Whimsy!

Hi ya everyone!  Another cutie to share today.  This new bunny set called Hugs Bunny is just so sweet.  It's great for a sympathy card or any card where you need to give someone a hug.  I continue to be amazed by the cute things that Whimsy Stamps has every month.  Check out the stencil too on this card.  I used shimmer creative medium from Imagine on vellum with the new pinwheel stencil!  Underneath, I sprayed a sheet of bristol smooth with various Fireworks Sprays.  The frame was cut with the new Rectangle Shaker Maker from Whimsy.  I of course colored the bear and bunny with Copics and fussy cut them to adhere to the front.  I don't think this needed a sentiment but I did add a sweet one in the card itself.

I loved this set so much, I wanted to also try to make a card with mostly just the stamp set.  Check out how cute this turned out.  Spring colors were a huge inspiration for both of these creations.  I colored them with Copics in mostly pastel colors.  I then chose pastel Fireworks Sprays and sprayed some Bristol Smooth paper and then die cut with the same Rectangle Shaker Maker die.

Gingham Background and Bunnies Flying High

OH my gosh!!! I'm so excited about today's release!!! These bunnies are the CUTEST.  Truly, the best part of this set is the Gingham background stamp I used.  Even though I used a die cut afterwards...you guys, that stamp is a MUST have.  I just love it and will use it for so many of my cute cards.  I also used Fly By stamp set for the sweet clouds in the background.  This card is chalked full of Whimsy items.  You can find them all linked below.  I also used Summer Sky and Angel Pink Fireworks Sprays for the cloud background.  The gingham was stamped in Delicata Pink Shimmer and the sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.
