Anything but a Card.

Anything But A Card.

Here we are November 30 already, can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Only 25 more days. So I decided to try something a little bit different and make a arrangement for my house for Christmas. I used this super cute digi image called New Flowery Tree from Whimsy Stamps.

I colored the image to match the Poinsettia and leaf color. I found this vase, pebbles & silver spikes at a local store here and decided that I could make a great arrangement with it. The Flowery Tree image that I colored just added that extra touch that finished off my project. I am very pleased with how this turned out. You should check out the rest of the DT projects for the Whimsy challenge blog this week and make a project for a chance to win images from Whimsy Stamps.

I took a closer picture to really show off the image that I colored for this project, it was a super cute image to work with. Each poinsettia iscut out with a spellbinder, foam squared in between each layer, sprayed with adhesive, sprinkled with glitter and then pearls were added to the centers.


Thanks for stopping by.
Supplies: New Flowery Tree image from Whimsy stamps, poinsettia spellbinder , Bazzill cardstock, copic markers, Kaiser craft pearls, glitter.

Make or Add a Tag.

Hi, great to see you again.

The Whimsy Inspirational Challenge this week is to make or add a tag.

So I decided to do something that I have never made before and that's a wine bottle tag. I think something like this would be wonderful to take to someone house that is having you over for dinner around the holiday season or just to say I was thinking of you over a glass of wine. You'll have to check out the Whimsy blog and get inspired to make or add a tag, maybe try to come up with something that is a little different than you usually make.

Happy Crafting!

This is a close up of the tag using a super cute digi stamp called New HollyBelle by Stamp Art Design from Whimsy Stamps. I attached three ribbons and a bow to the edge with some small gold bells dangling from the ribbon to add to the Christmas theme of the tag.
Supplies: New HollyBelle stamp from Stamp Art Design by Kathryne, Copic markers, Parisian Accent& Ribbon Banners by spellbinder, Bazzill cardstock, Bo Bunny Patterned paper, hero arts sentiment, Kaiser Craft pearls, Ranger star Dust Stickles, miscellaneous bells and ribbon.

Flowers and a sentiment

I'm back again this week with another challenge card from Whimsy.

The challenge this week is to have a sentiment and flowers. I decided to keep my card simple and elegant this week and it was easy using a great sentiment from Whimsy Stamps - " you are my inspiration" from Rain Drop Echo called Inspirational Sentiments. I also used a new die that I just received from Whimsy called Vines Dies. Click on over to the Whimsy Inspiration blog and check out some really wonderful creations from The digi DT team and hope to see you play along.

Supplies: Rain Drop Echo sentiment from Whimsy Stamps, Bazzill cardstock, Bo Bunny patterned paper, EK corner punch, Prima Marketing flower and pearls , Vine Die set from Whimsy.

Recipe Challenge

Todays Challenge for Whimsy is a recipe - Ribbon, 2 design papers & 3 embellishments.

Here is my card that I did using a Chrissy Armstrong digi stamp from Whimsy Stamps called Little Christmas Angel. My three embellishments are a little jewel hanging from a ribbon, red bling on the holly & the buckle on the bottom ribbon. Having a challenge like this sure makes you think cause all your embellishments have to all go together somewhat but still enhance the overall look of your card. Check out what the DT's for Whimsy have created on the Whimsy Challenge blog this week.

Hope to see your card/ project on Whimsy using todays challenge idea.

Monochromatic-1 color & neutrals on card

Hi, glad to see that you have popped back to my blog.

Wow I can not believe that it is already November 1st . Where has the time gone, this year has flown by & now Christmas is just around the corner.

This weeks Challenge for Whimsy is: monochromatic - 1 color & neutrals on your card/project.

So I choose to color a Lia Stampz image from Whimsy, in cool gray copic markers, use black & white with my one color being red. Hope that you check out all the DT design projects on the Whimsy inspiration blog. Maybe make a card or project and add it to the challenge for a chance to win some of the great digi stamps.

Supplies: "Haley" from the LiaStmpz collection from Whimsy Stamp,copic markers, Bazzill cardstock, ribbon, Ek snowflake punch, Ranger Star Dust Stickles, Marvy Uchida white liquid applique.

The Challenge for the Whimsy Inspiration blog this week is to add a button.

To be honest with you that is something that I have never really used to much of, so this challenge has made me do something that I normal would stay away from and that is - buttons.

I don't really know why I don't use them, it's not like they look bad or take away from any project that I have ever done. So this challenge was good for me. I like the effect of the buttons on my card so maybe I'll try harder to use items that I typically stay away from. I stepped out of my box and tried something different so I hope that you are up to the Whimsy Challenge this week and will try to make a project/ card using buttons and play along on the

Whimsy challenge blog.

I colored the image "Sparkly Tree" by Moon Cookie Gallery from Whimsy Stamps with copic markers then added stickles to the little stars on the image. After I was done that then I used white liquid applique to the boughs to give it the depth of snow. I added stickles to the swirls on the BoBunny paper to give it that glisten of swirling snow.
I also used liquid pearls for the little balls that are on the tree.

Supplies: Sparkly Tree & sentiment from Whimsy stamps, circle & Fancy Tags Two from spellbinders, Bo Bunny patterned paper, Bazzill cardstock, White Opal liquid pearls & Star Dust stickles from Ranger, White liquid applique from Marvy Uchida, miscellaneous buttons, hemp, & ribbon.

This week Whimsy is challenging you to make your own flowers.

I made the flower on this card using the Lace Doily Accent Spellbinder, with layers using a couple different pieces of the spellbinder. I hope that you will try to make your own flowers on your project/card , and play along with us at the Whimsy stamps challenge.
