Whimsy December Digital Release

Ok and last but not least I like to remind you of a brand new digital release at Whimsy stamps today too! There are lots of incredibly cute Winter and Christmas images and sentiments available, designed by the amazingly talented Whimsy artists. The images are available at 10am EST and the blog hop starts at 12 noon  EST at the Whimsy Inspirations blog! Make sure to visit all the participating blogs in the hop for your chance to win some stamps! Brand new released for the first time are also pre-colored digital images. These images are wonderful and can save you lots of time. So it is easy this year then to send handmade cards to everyone on your list ;-) Just whip up a card in a very short time using the already colored iamges! 

For my card I used pre-colored 'Teddy's First Christmas'. I kept my card CAS. Printed the image right onto the card. One image & sentiment (also available with today's release) on the front. And on the inside just the image again.  Make sure the images are aligned properly on top of each other when folding your card! Then I cut out part of the outer image (using a star shaped die) and embossed the whole front using a Cuttlebug folder (Snow Dots). Lastly I added the ribbon and done was my card!

 Isn't he just too cute? This is one of Crissy Armstrong's designs

 

I hope you like the new pre-colored images as much as I do. They are really a life saver for all the Christmas card mass-productions :-)

Thanks for stopping by today and bearing with me through this long post! :-)

Belles 'n Whistles Merry Sledding stamp ;-)
