Bunny Winter Holiday - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone,

Is n't the month flying away!  I swear time is speeding up - or perhaps I'm just getting old! /-:

Today's cards are a couple of cute one layer makes made with

Whimsy Stamps 

Bunny Winter Holiday Clear Stamps 

Assorted Sentiments Merry Christmas Clear Stamps

I stamped and then masked the bunny images and then applied a circular aperture mask before blending Distress Oxide Ink over my card.

I then removed the masks and coloured the Christmas Bunnies with Copics.

I stamped the Merry Christmas Sentiments in grey ink.

I then trimmed the card so that the circle was over to one corner of the design.  The finished cards measure about 8cm x 8cm so they are fairly small but VERY cute!

Gingerbread Greetings - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello everyone...

I'm on a bit of a Christmas Roll but I'll need to stop soon!

I've (typically) left myself with rather a lot to do before festive visitors and Santa arrive - I'd rather be creating gorgeousness but I need to do some housework and shopping! (:

Today's card is made with two of my favourite Whimsy Stamps clear Stamps sets...

Gingerbread Greetings Clear Stamps 

and

You're My Favourite Clear Stamps 

(this set will be retiring shortly and is currently available with 40% off)! 

To create the card base I used a brayer to coat a piece of card with blue and white ink and die cut it with the outer die from the 

Slimline Tiles Die Set

I then stamped and coloured the gorgeous houses from the 

Gingerbread Greetings Clear Stamps set.

I'll pop a list of the colours I used at the end of this post for you.

I fussy cut the hoses and set them side while I stamped onto vellum and heat embossed in white the sentiments from the

You're My Favourite Clear Stamps set

I put the card together as shown adding some sequins and small frosty embellishments.

Gnome For The Holidays - Whimsy Stamps

 Hello friends...

Today I have something a bit different to show you!

This card was a challenge and I have to be honest I nearly gave up! 

I'm fairly happy I stuck with it!

I stamped the gorgeous gnome onto black cardstock using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide (Thank you to my lovely friend Elaine Marker Geek for the ink advice)!

I coloured him with Prismacolor pencils and added some sparkle!

Finally I added the die cut and stamped sentiment!

Whimsy Stamps - Champagne Slimline Papers

Hello friends...

Oh.My.Word - December 1st!  I can't quite get my head around that!

I've tried to be a bit more organised this year so I can have a more relaxed December and really take time to enjoy each day - Advent is my favourite season.

Of course, the 1st December also means that it's a 

Whimsy Stamps new release day!

Its our last release of the year and there are some beauties included!

I decided to show you couple of cards made with a gorgeous new slimline paper pack.

Champagne - Slimline Paper Pack 

I randomly stamped and heat embossed some snowflakes from the 

Snow Flurries Clear Stamps Set

over a piece of the gorgeous design paper.

I then trimmed the paper slightly and layered it onto a piece of glitter card and then a piece of white card.

I then stamped in grey a sentiment from my current favourite set - 

Merry Christmas Clear Stamps

...and finished the card off by adding some bling to the snowflake centres and rounding the bottom corners of the card.

Just in case it's helpful - the finished card measures 20cm x 10.5cm.

These cards were so straightforward to create and I'm really happy with how they look.

They are another ideal card to make if you need several and are a bit short on time!
