SNEAK PREVIEW - Whimsey Stamps

Afternoon everyone, have finished my nights this morning but feeling pretty cream crackered due to sleep deprivation lol.  I'm waiting for the mobile dog groomer to arrive for little Dylan, bless him!  His coat is so thick he looks sooo uncomfortable in this heat - so I've booked him in for a little "puppy cut" which I'm sure he'll feel much happier about.  I'm struggling to sleep in the heat during the day but thankfully thats my nights finished now!!

As promised I have a special little something for you now - a sneak preview of one of the new digital images by Whimsy Stamps to be released on the 1st July.

Isn't he just adorable!  This is called "Love Me Anyway".  I've also used one of the new digi sentiments also due for release on 1st July.

If you haven't been over to Whimsy yet then you are missing out as the number of digi images now available is MASSIVE with more being released on the 1st of every month.  They also have a super collection of exceptionally high quality unmounted stamps!

I started off using a sketch from Sketch Saturday but then only really did half of it as the card started to look too busy for my liking lol!  I therefore won't submit this into their current competion.  I will however be entering it into these;

Everybody Art - Pink and Green

Pollycraft - Pinkalicious

If I don't go to sleep too early tonight I'm hoping to have a preview of another new image tomorrow.

 

Take care and thanks for stopping by.

One Card, Several Challenges

Hiya everyone.  Well, I'm back from my camping trip and suffering from crafty withdrawal as I didn't take any stash with me.  To remedy this I have made a card to enter various challenges...

Whimsey Stamps - Summer with the added option of Bugs
Stamp Something - Stamp Something Digi
Cupcake Craft - Dazzle Us
Stampin' for the Weekend - Summer/Travel Theme
Our Creative Corner - Summer Inspiration
Everybody Art - Things with Wings
Charisma Cards - Spots and Stripes
Simon Says - 1 Image, 2 papers and 3 Types of Embellies
Truly Scrumptious - Sketch
ABC - Weather

I LOVE this image, a freebie from Whimsey which you can get HERE.  I did not realise Whimsey had a challenge blog which, unfortunately for my bank statement,  means I NEEEEED more stamps lol.  Even better, they now have digi images available too.  I couldn't wait to layer this image, I also blinged up the brolly with clear gems.  I counted the gems, flower and ribbon as the three embellies (though I've just realised I blew it as I also added a charm and secured it with a brad) Hey Ho, never mind.  I used Basic Grey Papers and coloured with copics.  The sentiment was done on my lappy.  A touch of glamour dust to her cozzie and some stickles to create the rain - bout right for a British summer lol.

Both Whimsey Stamps and Stamp Something have a DT call out at the moment - why not check them out and give it go!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Take care and have a lovely evening.

Three Cards

Morning everyone.  The weathers a bit grey and dreary looking this morning, hope it brightens up later!  I have been neglecting the various challenges out there at the moment since returning to work and taking on various DT's so I have changed that by making FIVE purely for the fun of doing challenges Whoo Hooo!!!

I have three to show you here and I'm rather pleased with how they turned out!  I had just bought my Big Shot before making the first card and BOY did I have fun playing with my diecuts and combining my new nestie with new Nellie frame and rather neglected Charmed image. How did I manage without a BS lol?   Only thing is my wish list is now MASSIVE as I love virtually every die cut and embossing folder I see rofl.  This card will be entered into the following challenges:

Dotties World - 2 x 3D Butterflies

Sketch and Stash - Sketch

Cupcake Crafts - Make Your Own Flowers

ABC Challenge - Red

Stampin for the Weekend - Ribbons and Bows

Stamptacular Sunday - Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Daring Cardmakers - Diamonds (on the butterflies)

I've used a Charmed Download here, I certainly think she adds the spice part to the SS challenge and with flowers, butterflies, bows and a bit of bling - what more could a gal want hahahaa!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My second card is for

Pollycraft - Anything Goes

Charisma Cardz - Animal Magic

I love this image and he was just crying out for a bit of layering.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My final card is for

Just Cute Bears - Yellow and Green

Everybody Art Challenge - Sketch

Isn't he adorable, I bought him at the recent fair in Harrogate - can't believe its taken me a couple a weeks to getting round to using him lol!  I think he'll be a regular though!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day whatever you're up to.  Happy crafting.
