Whimsy and Stars Studio Digi Release and DT Showcase!

August 19, 2013March 18, 20151 Comment

Hi, everybody! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! It’s time for a new release at Whimsy and Stars Studio, and today our super-talented DT is showcasing their creations with “Ribbon Boy” and “Ribbon Girl“, the two new digi releases in the Whimsy and Stars Studio Store!

I chose “Ribbon Boy” for today’s card, and colored his ribbon yellow in support of our troops. It’s a cause that is dear to my heart because my husband retired from the military at the beginning of 2013.

Here’s a peek at both of the new release digis, which are available via instant download in the Whimsy and Stars Studio store!

Make sure to leave a comment for each blog on today’s DT showcase, because Mabelle is giving away a digi stamp of the winner’s choice to one lucky commenter! The winner will be announced on the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog on Wednesday, August 22nd.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fantastic week!

Hugs,

A birthday card fit for a princess!

Hi, everybody! I’m sharing this card today on the Whimsy and Stars Studio blog, featuring Mabelle’s “Little Princess” digi stamp!

This image reminds me of my youngest niece, Caroline, who is a self-proclaimed “fashionista,” and loves all things girly! She just started 1st grade on Friday and is having a birthday next month. I wanted to get a jump on making her card, and thought this image would be perfect for her!

Whimsy and Stars Studio digital stamp: “Little Princess“; Other supplies: designer paper – “Pretty Party” 6×6 pad (Crate Paper), scalloped flower die (Memory Box), trim, adhesive pearls, Spellbinders Labels 25, sentiment stamp (DeNami Designs), assorted Copic markers.

I’m also entering this card in the current Deconstructed Sketch challenge!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,

The Craft’s Meow Blog Hop: Featuring Clear Stamps by Mabelle RO!

July 9, 2013March 18, 201540 Comments

Hello! I’m pleased to be joining The Craft’s Meow today for a blog hop spotlighting the clear stamp sets designed by the super fabulous Mabelle R-O!

I was fortunate to be a guest designer for The Craft’s Meow in September 2012, when two of Mabelle’s clear sets, “Fall Blessings” and “Fall Fibi and Lilly” made their debut at TCM!

I’m happy to say I now design for Mabelle…she is such a sweetheart and all of her designs are adorable! It’s so easy to fall in love with these sets! Today’s card features stamps from “Fall Blessings,” which along with “Fall Fibi and Lilly“, are available now in The Craft’s Meow Store!

I masked the pumpkins to give the feel of being in a pumpkin patch…all of Mabelle’s clear sets have so many fun design possibilities! It was hard to decide what combination I wanted to share with you today!

AND…what’s a blog hop without some prizes? One lucky commenter (chosen from the comments left on ALL the blogs in today’s hop) will win a stamp set of their choice! So, make sure you leave a little love on each blog as you make your way through the hop!

To be eligible for the prize, make sure you visit and comment on all the blogs before 11:59 PM Eastern on Tuesday, July 9th. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, July 10th at The Craft’s Meow blog!

Hi, everybody! If you’re in the USA, I hope you’re having a safe and happy 4th of July holiday!

We aren’t doing anything big for the holiday, but that’s OK! I was hoping we’d get to see some fireworks, but it has been pretty rainy lately, and I’m not sure what the conditions will be in the evening.

I’m sharing this card featuring “God Bless America,” an adorable digi stamp from Whimsy and Stars Studio! And, it’s available in the Whimsy and Stars Studio store!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,
