Cute Card Thursday - Anything but a Card

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Anything but a Card'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

I love all of the penguin images designed by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps. This one is called Penguin's Cake


I printed the image onto white cardstock and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils. I then fussy cut it out. 

I made a small gift bag out of black cardstock.

I used the Whimsy Stamps Gingham Background stamp with worn lipstick distress oxide to create the background panel.

I used Whimsy Stamps Wavy Edgers die set to create the scalloped border on the white cardstock panel at the top. I cut a vellum banner using Whimsy Stamps Shaker Maker Banner die set.

I adhered all of this onto the black gift bag, and finished it off with some black sticker strips, enamel dots and ribbon.

I love how this turned out!

We are sponsored this week by Oddball Art Co, a great prize as always!

Cute Card Thursday - Embossing

Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Embossing'. 
As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

Another favorite penguin image of mine is from the Penguin Gardener digital stamp set available at Whimsy Stamps


I printed the image onto white cardstock and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils. I then fussy cut it out. 

I used the Darice Wire Fence embossing folder from Whimsy Stamps to create the background (difficult to see in the photograph).

I used Whimsy Stamps Wavy Edgers die set to create the scalloped border on the colored dotted paper.

I printed the sentiment from the Penguin Gardener digital stamp set onto white cardstock and then cut it into a thin banner.

    Without further ado, let me share one of the projects I created with this amazing kit.



    There are so many gorgeous possibilities with these stamps, dies, papers and goodies!
    This is a super simple, super quick card to make. I used the 'rainbow' sentiment strip die in the kit to cut out the bottom white  cardstock panel. I used an older die from Whimsy Stamps to cut out the word 'wishes' from the panel (unfortunately this die set is now retired).

    I adhered the white panel onto the bottom of the rainbow patterned cardstock from the pad in the kit. This was then cut to 4" x 5.25" and mounted onto a white cardstock panel just slightly larger. This was then adhered onto a standard A2 black card base.

    This was finished off with some fussy cut hearts from the patterned paper pad.


    Each kit is a $50+ retail value for only $29.95 plus shipping.

    Cute Card Thursday - Add a Quote

    Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Add a Quote'. 
    As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

    Another of the newly released images this month is the adorable 'Pip' designed by CCDesigns available at Whimsy Stamps


    I printed the image onto white cardstock and colored her in with my prismacolor pencils. I then fussy cut her out. 

    I used Whimsy Stamps Peekaboo Window 2 Die to create the background, along with Autumn themed papers from my stash.

    The quote is from one of Echo Park's ephemera pieces from my stash.

    I finished the card by adding a red border and enamel dots.

      I cut a panel of patterned cardstock from the pad in the kit and mounted it onto some plain blue cardstock from my stash. I adhered this onto a standard A2 white card base. 

      I die cut one of each of the clouds from the die set included in the kit and adhered these onto the panel. 

      I stamped the image from the kit and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. This was then popped up onto the card using foam tape.

      I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set using VersaFine CLAIR 'Glamorous' ink and hand cut it into a banner. This was also popped up on foam tape.

        Cute Card Thursday - Circles

        Our theme at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'Circles'. 
        As always, we welcome your own interpretation. 

        I love the adorable Marieta digital stamp designed by CCDesigns available in the Whimsy Stamps store.


        I printed the image onto white cardstock and colored her in with my prismacolor pencils. I then fussy cut her out. 

        I used Whimsy Stamps Pierced and Stitched Circles die set to create a circle shaped card. I then used the next smallest circle to cut out the red circle, and mounted this on top.

        I used spellbinders nest abilities petite scalloped circles large dies to cut out the white scallop circle.

        I added some wash tape from my stash to create the black and red strips.

        I stamped the sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Everyday Mini Sentiments clear stamp set and cut it into a thin strip.

        I finished off the card by popping up the image on foam tape and adding some red enamel dots from my stash.

        It is the start of the new Whimsy Stamps digital release for August - another awesome release!

        I printed the image onto white cardstock and used my prismacolor pencils to color him in. 

        I used a variety of Echo Park Autumn themed papers from my stash to create different width strips. I then hand pierced and stitched down the side of the panel.
