May 2016 Rubber Release News and Inspiration - Day 2

Hello! It's day two for the Whimsy Stamps May release. So many great new images!!

Today I want to share a card I made using the new one from Art by Mi Ran 'Bella the Bride'.

I kept it simple with this card, I wanted the image to really stand out.  I colored her with my Copics. I used one of my rectangular metal dies to trace a line around the card. The sentiment is something from my stash. I realized I don't have that many wedding sentiments....lol. Most of my friends and family are already married and my children are to young.  

I added some Wink of Stella to the veil and Stickles to the crown. 

Make sure to stop by the Whimsy Stamps blog and enter to win.

Hope you are enjoying all the inspiration. 

Thank you for stopping by!

The Greeting Farm----Hello

Hello everyone! I am back with another card today. This cutie is from The Greeting Farm called "Abbey". I had just started coloring her and my 3 year old daughter came in to watch. I asked her what color I should color her hair and right away she said "blue". So this is what I came up with it was so much fun to do.

I colored her with my Copic markers. I did add some Modeling paste behind her hopefully you can see it.  

Here is a list of the Copics I used as well as links to the products used from Quick Creations.

Christmas card in July #3

Hello everyone!!! Wow has it been a busy July. We just returned from our summer vacation, 14 days. We saw family in Las Vegas and then traveled to Montana, where I am from, to see my dad. I loved the weather there so cool. We also saw two cub bears but no mama....:(  good for us but sad for the bears. I like to take a picture of my kids every time we visit of my kids on this one road that leads no where but makes a perfect setting for the picture.

Ok, on to the Christmas in July card for Whimsy Stamps.  This week I used a stamp from Wee Stamps called Mr. Frosty.

I love this guy!! Colored him with my Copics and added some sequins and stickles.

Hope this inspires you!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!!

Christmas in July card #2

Hello everyone! I am here to share another Christmas card. Right now I am on vacation so thinking of  Christmas is kind of hard but it is nice to get a few cards done. 

For my card this week I used a Time for Tea Designs stamp called Santa Baby  

I used my Copics to color her and added some stickles to her trim. 

Hope this inspires you to do some Christmas cards. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas in July is here!!

Ok, so writing this post is kind of hard when I am on summer vacation but it had to be done.  I have to admit I have never done Christmas cards in July but I am still kind of new to the card making scene. So Whimsy stamps is having Christmas in July this month.

For my first card I used a Crissy Armstrong stamp called "Jolly Santa".

I colored this cutie with my Copics and added some snow-tex by his feet for snow. Glittered up some "Ho ho ho's" and called it a day.

Hope this gets you in the Christmas spirit a little....:)   I know it's hard!!!

Have a great July 4th holiday!!

Father's Day Card

Hi everyone! I just want to share a card quick I made last minute for my husband. I had bought this image awhile back to use but forgot till Saturday night and Father's day is tomorrow. So I quickly colored this up and made a simple card. I love this image because my husband is a runner and loves to take one of our 3 dogs running with him and OH BOY does the dog love it when he gets to go. So when I saw this image I had to buy it....lol!! 

The image is from Mo Manning called "Big Guy Jogging" and I colored it with my Copics!  

Hope you have a fabulous day!
