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:

Winter My Whimsical Little World Release

Today I'm sharing some projects for the latest My Whimsical Little World release.

First up, a card I made using the All Dressed Up for Christmas digistamp - I really liked this digi and wanted to keep him a pretty good size, so I opted to color him and just mat him on a couple of Christmas colored papers.

Next, I decided to make a gift tin using the Christmas Owl digi -

I colored parts of this image on 5 different printouts and layered them all together for the final look. Then finished it off with some sequins and rhinestones.

Lastly, I broke out my art journal and whipped up a page using the Love U Latte digi - 

Now hop on over to the other design team members to see what they've come up with using the new release:

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.

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 -

Summer Friends at My Whimsical Little World

My Whimsical Little World is releasing some great summer digi stamps today.  There's three in total - Kody, Phoebe, and Marigold.  I made a set of cards using the characters, so let's jump right in!

First up.... Surfer Kody:

Followed by Phoebe:

And lastly, Marigold:

I colored the hair and skin of all three with Copics  - I wanted to try different color combos for each of them, by the time I colored Kody and Phoebe looking rather tan, I remembered some of us are 'blessed' with pale skin that burns rather easily, so I used a paler, pinker tone for Marigold. :D  After that, I grabbed a Basic Grey paper pad and paper pieced the rest of them.

Some of the digis come with their own background (like Phoebe - the shell and flower in the sand are part of her background!) which is great for coloring, but I like to add layers so I stamped a cloud background, watercolored some paper with distress ink for the waves and used this great sand-like embossing powder for the sand.

And I can't forget the insides :)  I printed the digis at a smaller size and adjusted the color to match the teal of the card stock that I was using, added some scraps of patterned paper and I end up with a cute set of cards.

  

Now you've seen what I came up with using these awesome digistamps, have a look at what some others have created:
