For my card today I have used the new Basic Border Trio Dies and Up, Up, and Away Dies and Up, Up, and Away clear stamps and Up, Up, and Away Additions clear stamps.

I have used black card stock for the base and then used the Basic Border Trio dies to cur the right edge of the white layer of card stock. I used the other two borders in the Basic Border Trio set to cut the green and aqua DP strips on the left. The sentiment is from the Up, Up, and Away Additions stamps and the balloons were created with stamps from the Up, Up, and Away set and cut with the Up, Up, and Away die set.

We hope you've enjoyed this release! Here is the hopping order for today's hop. Remember to stop at each blog and leave a comment for your chance to win a $25 gift voucher to shop at Whimsy!

Friendship Hop

Hello welcome to our friendship hop in honor of Simonne!

Simonne has been a part of the Whimsy family for many years and today we wanted to share our love with her and show her how special she is to us. Thank you for everything you do for all of us at Whimsy, Simonne!

For those of you who don't know Simonne allow me to share a bit about her. Not only is she a super talented card maker, skilled Copic colorer, and brilliant Whimsy illustrator, she is also an amazing person. I have had the pleasure of working with Simonne over the years and have developed a true friendship with her. It always amazes me how attached we become to our crafty friends, some of whom we have never actually met in person. I could not imagine my days without having her to chat with and laugh with and just share day to day stuff with. She always makes me smile!

Our DT have come together today to share creations made especially for Simonne. We hope you will hop along with us and check out the fun cards and personal messages to Simonne. And we might even have a little treat to give away for one or two participants also! So be sure to leave comments on all the DT blogs along the way and we will draw 2 random winners who will be given one of our Clearly Whimsy Stamps sets designed by Simonne herself!

For my card today, I have used the stamp sets Happy Hello and Happy Everything along with the Stitched Border Trio Dies and Sweet Large Word Die.

I created the background using Memento inks in a rainbow of colors and the 2 circle burst stamps from Happy Everything. Then I used more rainbow colors of ink and smeared those on a scrap paper and then cut the sweet with the Sweet Large Word Die. I've embellished with some red twine and used foam tape to add dimension to the top layer. The friend word is from Happy Hello.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Simonne, we love ya!

SCYS#2 - Color Challenge

Hello and Happy Sunday!


Today I have a card to share with you that I created for the new challenge over at ShowCASe Your Style! Our theme for challenge #2 is a color challenge of gold, black, silver. and white. And this is the inspiration photo myself and the DT have used to create our cards.

This challenge will run from today (Saturday, November 15th) until midnight ET on Thursday, November 27th.

 

 

My card uses some black and white card stock. And I used some gold and silver ink to create the edging on two of my matte pieces of white cardstock. I have used the Clearly Whimsy Stamps products  Sparkle & Shine stamp set, Christmas Greetings stamp set and Christmas large word die.

I cut the Christmas word out of glitter American Crafts paper and all the Christmas ornament bulbs have been stamped with gold and silver Memento Brilliance Inks. 

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you have a great Sunday and if you are up for a challenge, we hope you will join us at ShowCASe Your Style!
