Winter Cheer

Good mornin’!

Today starts a new release of gorgeousness at Whimsy Stamps.  These little cuties are from the rubber stamp called Ellie Jungle Bell Trio.  These little critters are SO adorable.

I don’t color with colored pencils very often, but I decided it was time I took them out to play a little bit…lol

From Our House to Yours

Good morning!

How peaceful is this?  When I look at this Wintry Cabin Stamp from this month’s new release at Whimsy Stamps, the first thing that comes to mind is a place to relax and totally unwind.  Maybe a place to gather with crafty friends and play with all our goodies…lol!!

Pam-Schumacher_Wintry-Cabin_Rounded-Rectangles-Die_Kinetic-Straight-Basics-Die-Set

I stamped this gorgeous image on X-Press It Blending Card and then colored it with the following Copic markers.

~Copics~
Browns:  E49/47/44/43/42/41
Greens:  G85/94/YG03
Windows:  Y26/11
Reds:  R89/46/24
Sky:  B0000/Y0000/RV0000/CB

From-Our-House-to-Yours

Once the image was colored, I added Nuvo Glitter Drops (White Blizzard) to the trees and several areas of the snow.  I die cut a border strip using the Kinetic Straight Basics Die Set, taping the bottom of the die on the edge of the paper.  I used the tiny strip that would normally be waste and used it as my border to add some more visual image.  I then used double sided 1/4″ Scor-Tape directly above the border strip and attached the red ribbon.  I popped up the center panel with double sided tape.  The sentiment is from the Gingerbread Greetings Clear Stamp Set, and was also popped up with foam tape.  Two white self adhesive backed pearls finish off the card.

Gingerbread Greetings

The smell of gingerbread baking is one of the many wonderful smells of Christmas!  These sweet little gingerbread houses are from Whimsy Stamps November new release called Gingerbread Greetings.  How adorable!!

Gingerbread GreetingsI used the Envelope Edger Die set for the scalloped/stitched edge.  I embossed a white panel with a Swiss Dotted Embossing folder and trimmed it to match the border shape.  The houses were cut out with my Brother Scan n’Cut.

I attached a ribbon bow to the striped paper before assembling the card.  The small house in the front was adhered with double sided foam tape.

Santa’s Train

HI All!

All aboard!!  ‘Santa’s Train‘ is part of the fabulous special release from Whimsy Stamp’s.  Oh my goodness…Christmas cuteness overload!!

My 3 year old Grandson LOVES trains and has claimed this as “mine”…lol

Santa's-Train

I created a Slimline card with the awesome Slimline Postage Die.  Because I wanted my card to have a winter scene background, I covered up the cutouts that the die creates with patterned paper.  I love how this little white ‘outdoor’ scene turned out.  It looks like the train is following along with the natural snowy hills of the countryside.  I added the sentiment from the Christmas Ellie-ments Clear Stamp Set.

Moose Tangle

Hello everyone!

Oh my goodness…this little Moose has gotten himself into a little predicament…lol!  This little cutie called Moose Tangle is part of this month’s new release at Whimsy Stamps.

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw this little sweetie!

Moose Tangle

This little sweetie was a ton of fussy cutting, but he was worth the work.  I love how you can see the background behind him.

I started with a 5″ square card base, adding a layer of blue print paper 4 7/8″ square.  To this I popped up a 4 3/4″ square of the Christmas letter paper which I die cut a circle out of the center with the Stitched and Pierced Circle Die Set.  I popped this up with a single layer of foam tape.  Once that was all assembled I popped up cutie patootie Moose with two layers of foam tape.
