Baby its cold outside PINK
I’ve been seeing some really cute cards with negative die cuts on them so I tried it with these new Whimsy Stamp dies. But I liked the look of it with the die cuts not removed, so I kept them intact. I added one of my favorite Winter time sentiments and some twine.
I love pink and I love pink even more used non traditionally, like for Christmas. I’d love to know what’s your favorite color?
Supplies: Whimsy snowflake die, twine, misc button, Amuse sentiment stamp

Birthday Boy
My little guy just had his 6th Birthday and I made him this card. He has some stuffed lions and tigers that he plays with all the time so this image from Whimsy is just perfect for the occasion.
You may have noticed I use buttons a lot on my cards? Well OCS has some new button packs in the store and they are so cute and a great value. Only $2.48 for a big pack of buttons.
Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look!
Supplies: Whimsy Stamp, buttons, Thickers, Copics, star Nestabilities, TH tiny attacher

Rainbows
I really love the Al a mode stamps from My Favorite Things and there a bunch of new ones in the OCS store. I colored this with my Copics and added all that gorgeous color with my Viva Deor pens. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a card with rainbow colors on it! And I love it even more when its on a clean white background.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Scroll down for the DT call going on now for OCS.
Supplies: MFT stamp, MME papers, Viva Decor Pens, Copic Markers

Shadow Box Card Tutorial
I used a 12” x 4” piece of paper and scored it at 5.5” and 6.5” inches. Here’s what the dimensions of the card look like.
I adhered my pattern paper prior to cutting the frame out from my card. This saved me from having to measure and line up the paper after.
Even though this was super easy, it was fun to do something out of the ordinary for me. So how about it? Go try something new today!
Thanks for taking a look!
