Last MWLW release for 2014

I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post! The holiday preparations are keeping me busy than I thought! Today, I'm sharing the last release for 2014 from My Whimsical Little World. I stuck with a Christmas theme for my cards, but these digis can definitely be used for so many celebrations. To start, here's Celebrate Cupcake.

I used the same paper line for all three of my cards today (Bella Blvd's Christmas Countdown along with the green glitter dot paper from Doodlebug).  I printed the images on a couple different colors of paper and paper pieced them for the final look.  I love that the little sign on the cupcake is blank so you can add any sentiment you want for any occasion.  I added some Rock Candy Distress Stickles to my icing for a sugary look.

Next up is Christmas Star (now just because Christmas is in the title of the digi, doesn't mean it has to be used for Christmas ;))

And probably my favorite of this release - favorite finished product and favorite digi - is Warm Wishes.

Now hop on over to the other DT members blogs to see what they've come up with as well:

Fall is in the Air with My Whimsical Little World

Today I'm sharing the newest release from My Whimsical Little World.  Great for the fall!

First up, a cute little pilgrim boy:

For this card, I colored the image with my Copics, masked it the colored the background with distress inks after die cutting it.  Before I peeled off the mask, I stamped on the sky to add a little texture.  Once my image circle was complete, I matted it on some autumn-y paper.  It was still missing something though.  I found the pumpkin puffy sticker in one of my recent Freckled Fawn kits and thought it was perfect for this guy.  I ruffled up some washi tape and added the sticker to finish it off.

Next up, something for all of the football fans out there...In the Air:

To be honest, I was a little stumped with the football digi at first.  I don't follow football at. all.  But we have a little game going on at work so I started brainstorming and landed on turning it into a Super Bowl invite.  I colored the football and cloud with my Copics again, masked it off and distress inked the background.  The center piece is matted on the base which is edged with washi tape (same tape, I used for the flower in the first card, just layered on top of itself to make the lines cross themselves).  I added embellishments out of my Freckled Fawn kits again.  Super happy with how this one turned out :D

So you've seen what I've done with these beauties, be sure to check out some of the other DT members to see their takes on the latest release.

Penguin Plunder

Today is a new digi release for My Whimsical Little World Digi Stamps and the theme this time around.... animals.  Paola has created 6 adorable little images (4 animals and a companion background!) and I'm showcasing the three penguins today.

I decided to make a set of mini cards for this release.  I checked out my envelope punch board to see what card size I could make an envelope using a 6x6 sheet of paper.... 3.5".  So that's what I went with.  I think they'd be perfect to tuck into a gift or maybe someones lunch or backpack.

First up, is the adorable Penguino with hat and scarf.  I colored him with my copics then fussy cut him before putting him onto my card base and embellishing.

Next, we have a great little Pablo.  He's holding a cupcake, which would be great for birthdays or any other celebration, but I wanted to use these cute puffy stickers to say 'sweet hello' (you can make out the hello pretty well in the pic, but the sweet is a little faint )... very versatile.

For the third card in the set, I used Tooey and repeated the process (color with copics, fussy cut, put on card, embellish ;))

I also got to play with the cool igloo digi that's being released today.

I imported it into my Silhouette software and sized it to fit into a regular 4.5"x5.5" envelope. I used the trace function to create a shape slightly larger.  Then copied that shape, rotated it to fit along the top to create a folded card, and merged the two so they would cut as one shape (clear as mud?!)  This way the card base would have a slight outline to mat the great igloo on.  You can't see it in the picture, but the outline is covered with a glittery embossing powder for a 'snowy' effect.

So that's what I've come up with for this great release - can you see the penguins on some fun Christmas/Winter cards for this year??  Go check out a couple other design team members to see what great things they've come up with using the penguins and other animals being released.

Cupcake Layering

Happy Labor Day weekend!  I thought I'd start off my long weekend by doing a little crafting so I'm sharing this little birthday tag I created using another up cycled counter sample and a Cupcake digi stamp from My Whimsical Little World.

I took the cute Cupcake digi and printed six copies on one sheet.  I knew I wanted to layer it so I colored in different parts on each image with my Copics, fussy cut them all, and layered them with little bits of foam tape.  I coated the flame with some glossy accents.  While that was drying, I grabbed my tile piece, added a strip of patterned paper that's cut with a curve (a scrap of some other project!).  Once the flame was dry, I placed it on my tile and added a little shading on the patterned paper with a grey Copic.  To finish it all off, I added a few pieces of bling, some ribbon, and some twine.

I'm playing along with a couple of challenges on this one -

Rocking Out with MWLW

Today's newest digis at My Whimsical Little World are music themed.  I visited a new to me creative reuse shop close by and picked up some supplies that inspired me while there.  So today I have two musical projects using some up cycled items!

For Cadence, I decided to take a couple of old CDs (I didn't pick these up at the reuse shop, but I saw them there and knew I had a stack of old ones from my hubby and thought they'd be perfect for this!) and turn them into a notebook:

I started by masking the word 'notes' with a few stickers and painting the entire CD black.  Then I removed the stickers to have the silver show through.  I colored Cadence with Copics and attached her to the front and spread some bling bubbles around here.  I painted a second CD to use as the back cover and covered both of the CDs with paper on the non painted sides.  I punched the CD using my Cinch binder and added some ribbons to the rings once it was filled with paper.

Another thing I picked up at the reuse store was this household sample (I'm not sure if it's flooring or countertop or what, but I always see them at hard ware stores and thing they'd be great for something!).  Since the sample already had a hole punched in it and nicely rounded corners, I decided to use the whole thing for a tag to spotlight Marcia:

I tried a new color combo for her skiing and love how she turned out :)  I used white embossing paste on the cassette stencil over the tag.  I love that the sample had the speckled background already so it wasn't just boring black.  I added the paper trim along the bottom and a piece of leather cording to add a sentiment (and cover up the brand name that was stamped there ;)).  I added some frosted bling around and finished it off by adding some seam binding tied with the same leather cording used on the front.

I hope you enjoyed my projects.  Be sure to stop by some of the other DT members and see what they've come up with as well -

Adventuretime with My Whimsical Little World

I am in LOVE with today's release of My Whimisical Little World digistamps!  There are two great new images - a car and a camper - and they work so great alone or together.  I couldn't stop coming up with ideas so I ended up with three creations for today!

First up - a card using the Beach Wagon digistamp:

I colored the card with copics and did a lot of cutting to layer the image.  The sentiment comes along with the Phoebe digistamp that I showcased last week.  

Here's a close up of the dimension (which I love!!)

Once it was done, I realized I may have went a little overboard as I counted how many layers there were. :)

So I after I finished the card, I moved onto doing a journal page.  I combined the Beach Wagon with the Happy Camper digi.  I thought the images went perfect with this quote.  I paper pieced the camper and the car, made some ground and sky, added some stamps and embossing paste.  The quote I printed on my computer.

And lastly, I sized the Happy Camper digi a little smaller and decided to make a 3x4 pocket scrapbooking card.  I thought it would be perfect for the next time I go camping.

So there you have it. Three things using the newest release.  But wait!!.... For more inspiration visit some of the other DT blogs to see their creations with the stamps -
