Whimsy July Showcase Day 4!!

Hi there Whimsy Fans!!

On Wednesday (25 July), Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, new Shapeology dies, new Shape EZ by TLC templates and new MRD digital papers. From then until 31 July the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!

Okay, I'm back from my brunch lol!! I've used the adorable Lil Sweet Tweeter by Elisabeth Bell, it's coloured in distress inks. I decided that this sweet tweeter is a canary. The papers are Kaiser except the music note paper which is Magnolia. I've used a Martha Stewart paper punch, sewn around the edges of the papers. the flowers are a mix of WOC and I Am Roses, I've also used the delightful Vine Die, as usual!! Super cute string, right??? A dear blogging buddy sent it to me, looks like bakers twine but a little thicker, it's yarn and it's amazing!!!

And here is the full list of hoppers!!

Summer Flower Tilda comes out for a play

Hello everybody!!!

Is it hot in your neck of the woods?

We're roasting to a crisp out here in the plains.

So I've been hiding out indoors, sneaking into my 

stamp stash and getting inky!!

I have lots of Tilda's just waiting patiently to be coloured,

this is one of them!!

I have, of course, coloured in distress inks and added Stardust Stickles to the super sweet Summer Flower Tilda. The papers are a mix of October Afternoon, MME and Kaiser. There are lots of little bits and bobs on this card, most from blogging friends through the years, so I'm not sure where to refer you to, the almighty stash?? The Whimsy Stamps Vine Die was used along with a Magnolia sentiment.

A little close-up action here.

I'd like to pop this in over at:

Bearly Mine Crafts Girly Birthday

Cute Card Thursday's Fairy Nice Challenge

Just Magnolia Birthday Card

Papertake Weekly's All Things Girly

Totally Tilda Tilda + Sentiment

PlayDate Cafes colour infusion of mint, pale yellow, tulip and coral

Thanks for taking the time to pop by tonight!!

I sure do appreciate it!!!

Friendship Ties sample for CLP Reminder Post

Hi there stamping friends, 

long time, no see!!

I hope you've been enjoying your summer thus far!!

Tonight, I have a sample for

CLP Sketches Mid-Month Reminder Post.
I've used the adorable Friendship Ties image
illustrated by the amazing Sylvia Zet for
Susana's Custom Art and Card Design!! Love Love LOVE!!!!

So, of course, she's coloured in distress inks, the papers are a mix of MME and October Afternoon and Kaiser, the pearls are by Prima, the laces and flowers are from my stash and the little flourishes under the flowers are by Whimsy Stamps, from the Vines Die Set.

A close-up of the dang adorable image:

And here's a picture of the inside:

I'm going to pop this in over at
Bearly Mine Challenges, Pearls and Lace,
Bunny Zoe's Swirls and Lace,
Creative Inspirations Bingo Challenge: Pink, Pearls and Glitter and
Stamp and Create's Hands Full of Love challenge.
Technically, she's not holding much, but tying a bow for her lil love bug, so I think it's still befitting, right?


Thanks so much for stopping in!!
hugs, stephanne
