Hello all! Sorry for my lack of posting lately. Just too much going on with Summer being here full force, so I've decided to take a little summer blogging break right now and my next posting here will be on the 25th of July with some awesome news for you :-D Make sure you stop by on Wednesday July 25th! I have one more card I like to share with you before I take my break. Cute little 'Angel Cody' delivers heavenly birthday wishes! This card was one of my cards that were published in Whimy's Inspiration Magazine / April issue. Copics were used to do the coloring. I used Stickles to bling up the cloud and halo. Papers are from SU! The sentiment is a Whimsy Shapeology die called Birthday Sentimentables . Flowers are from my stash and Whimsy Buds . Here's a closer look on the little angel boy. Thanks for dropping in today and I wish you a wonderful summertime!  See you on the 25th! Hugs,

The image is from Whimsy's Kenny K collection and called 'Anime Game Kid' . The DP is from various collections, sorry don't remember the brands. Coloring was done with Copic and Touch Twin markers. - yes I own now a few touch twin markers too...LOL  just couldn't resist any longer and hat to try them. Can't say much about them yet but so far I'm really impressed and I ...

Hiya Everyone! I don't do one layer cards too often but once while I enjoy doing them. This one was published in Whimy's Inspiration Magazine / April issue. If doing one layer cards it is best to use heavy card stock for the card base. I like to use Gina K Pure Luxury 120lbs. Even if I color using my Copic's it's not bleeding through and the inside stays nice, white and clean!  I colored the cute pup using my Copic's. I've added a ribbon and some bakers twine, topped it off with a matching red button and added the sentiment 'To be loved' from the 'Love Mini Tickets' collection from Raindrop Echo Designs. The small embossed lines on the bottom and the top is made with border embossing folders. Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs,

For today's last showcase day - and your last chance to win some yummy stamps ;-) - I came up with this creation using Piggy Bath from Whimsy's Meljens Design Collection: I colored him using my Copic markers (R000, R00, R30, R32, RV42 for the pinks, E47, E44, E43 E41, E40 for the mud) and Prismas (French Grey 70% and 50% for shades on the piggy to give it a more dirty look and Light cerulean Blue for the outline).  Whimsy Shapeology dies used: Corner dies and Notables 4 die , the corner die used in the upper left corner is a cuttlebug die.

  Hello and welcome to Day 4 of our June Rubber & Die Release Showcase! On Wednesday (20 June) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, new Shapeology dies and new Shape EZ by TLC. From then until 26 June 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! So here's what I came up with for today: I used the cute stamp 'Cubbin' Around' from Meljens Designs and colored it with Copics. As I wanted the cub's to be white tigers I just added little accents using W3-W1-W00 and R20-R00-R000 for the cheeks and ears. I also added Stickles Stardust to the stripes but unfortunately I was not able to catch that on the photo. Papers are from Basic Grey's 'Little Black Dress' collection. Sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs 'Take Flight' sentiment collection and cut out with the matching Shapeology die . Here's a close-up on th...
