Quick Cards with Vintage Poinsettia Clear Stamps - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Fri-YAY friends!

If you are anything like me then despite your best intentions you end up doing nearly everything at the last minute!

I've always been the same - I'm approaching my sixth decade - and there ain't no way I'm likely to change the habit of a lifetime!  (:  

To save me (a bit) from flying by the seat of my pants I have designed a set of Christmas cards which are incredibly straightforward and more importantly quick to make. 

I used my current favourite stamp set

Whimsy Stamps

Vintage Poinsettia Stamp Set

I created a set of smallish (10cm x 10cm square) cards in a variety of bold colours with the beautiful poinsettia stamped heat embossed in gold.

I added a stamped and die cut sentiment and finished the card off with a few gold sequins.

...truly simples!

Magical Wonderland (Slimline Connected Rectangles - Whimsy Stamps)

 Happy Monday friends!

(There is such a thing - honest)! (:

Today I am showing you a card I made with a gorgeous new 

Whimsy Stamps

slimline die

Slimline Connected Rectangles Die

This die is soooo elegant and I decided to use it to make a Christmas card to contribute to my own personal 'two Christmas cards a month' challenge!

I created the inky piece of card by blending Distress Oxides in Seedless Preserves, Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose over a piece of Strathmore Bristol Vellum Card.

Then splattered the card with water and Mica Powder.  When everything was dry I splattered white paint over it.  

I then die cut a piece of white hammered card with the 

Slimline Connected Rectangles Die

and trimmed the inky card so it fitted just inside it.

Then again using white hammered card I die cut the gorgeous 

Forest Majesty Die Set

and trimmed and played the trees and deer behind the rectangles.  Once I was happy I glued everything down.

I stamped the Magical Wonderland sentiment from the

 Magical Winter Clear Stamps Set

onto a piece of hammered card and die cut it with a 

Quick Strips Die

Finally I added some Glamour Dust to make the whole scene twinkle!

Whimsy Stamps Scallop Six A2 Die and Cutie ABC for Christmas!

Hello everyone,

I'm back today to show you another new crafty goody from

Whimsy Stamps 

Scallop Six A2 Die

which I teamed with the new

Cutie ABC Die Set

I used the

Scallop Six A2 Die 

to cut kraft card and a piece of gorgeous 

6x6 Tartan Paper

This made two cards which happily gave me my two Christmas cards for my own personal 'two Christmas cards a month' challenge! 

I added the words fa la la and ho ho ho which I die cut 

with the 

Cutie ABC Die Set

in opposing colours to their tartan and kraft background.

These cards were so straightforward and fun to make (as well as being quite striking imho) that I could have made quite a few more!

Gnome For The Holidays - Whimsy Stamps

Happy Fri-Yay friends!

I'm ahead of the curve here - and that does not happen very often if ever!

My two Christmas cards a month project is going well and my March cards are already in the bag!   o-:

I had a lovely time making these card - there's something so satisfying about colouring gorgeous gnomes!

I have used a stamp set from Whimsy Stamps - 

Gnome For The Holidays Clear Stamps by Crissy Armstrong

I have used this stamp set a lot - it is a beauty!

The gorgeous gnomes are stamped onto kraft card die cut with the 

Slimline Card Builder Die Set 

and coloured with Prismcolor Pencils.  (I'll pop the colours I used at the end of this post for you).

I used my two favourite large word dies Happy and Merry to die cut some Tartan paper and finally added a sentiment from the

You're My Jolly Clear Stamp Set 

which I stamped onto a banner die cut with the 

Quick Strips Die Set

Finally I added a sentiment from my favourite set

Simple Sentiment Strips Clear Stamps

I was inspired by the fabulous artist Jennifer Rustioni (Armi e Ritagli) when I coloured these gnomes.  I Iove how Jennifer adds a 3D shadow to her images - thank you Jennifer for being so inspirational!
