July Whimsy Stamps Digi Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us for the July Whimsy Stamps Digi blog hop. You should have come from Therese’s blog. If not, you might want to start the hop at the beginning so you don’t miss out on anything. If you get lost along the way, the complete blog hop list will be posted on the Whimsy Inspirations blog.


For my card, I used the new image, Water Dance Loon, from StampArt Designs by Kathryne. This is such a great image. It is bold enough to leave it uncolored if you would like. I only colored the water and then sponged the background. At the last minute I decided to use the cracked glass technique. I didn’t use any big embellishments because I wanted to keep it easy to mail.





Your next stop on the hop is the talented, Margreet. Be sure to leave comments at each stop on the hop. A random winner will be picked from two of the blogs on the hop to win a digital image of their choice from the Whimsy Stamps store. The Grand Prize Winner will be chosen from the last stop on the hop to win 5 new digital stamps of their choice from Whimsy Stamps and will get the chance to use their new stamps as a guest designer for the entire month of July.

**Edited** The big Summer Digi Sale is going on at the Whimsy Stamps store right now.

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff - Season's Greetings

This week I wanted to try a little something different on my LSS card. I paper pieced the holly image from Nature's Christmas and then used the cracked glass technique on it. I don't think the picture does it justice, it looks really pretty in real life.






I think the holly would also look really pretty covered with glitter instead of the UTEE.


If you are starting to work on your Christmas cards, make sure you check out these Lindsay's Stamp Stuff digital stamp sets. They are gorgeous, versatile and fun to work with.





Don't forget about the "Don't Shop, Crop" virtual crop in the mygrafico class room which Lindsay is hosting. It is free to join and sure to be a lot of fun. So instead of fighting the crowds on Black Friday, come spend some time at the crop. Or drop by when you are done shopping for some craft time.





Thank you for looking! Please visit the rest of the DT to see their new projects. Lindsay will have her weekly freebie available on her blog.

Happy Fall with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

I don't know about you, but I am happy that it is time for the kiddos to head back to school and to get back in to the regular routine. Autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the fall colors, the gorgeous blue skies, the crisp air, and all the fun activities like apple picking, hay rides and bonfires. To celebrate all this good stuff, Lindsay is having an End of Summer sale Thursday through Saturday with 30% off everything in her mygrafico store.






To continue to show my love of the autumn season, I made an easel card this week using Sketchy Leaves along with the cracked glass and ruffled ribbon techniques.





After printing the leaf print on my card stock, I colored it using sponge daubers and my ink pads. It couldn't be easier and I think it looks pretty cool.




I apologize for the quality of my photos this week. I took these pretty late at night and was having some issues with my home-made light box.

Remember to stop by the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff store on mygrafico for the 30% off sale before it ends on Saturday night.

I also have some other good news. Laurel Seabrook has joined the LSS team. Please stop by her blog and give her a warm welcome.

The rest of the DT also has some wonderful projects to show you this week and, as always, Lindsay will have a special treat available for free on her blog.

Exciting News!



I have had the hardest time keeping this secret but I can finally let the cat out of the bag. I am honored to be part of the Design Team for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. Woohoo! She has some of the cutest digis around. You can buy her stamps two ways - Lindsay's Stamp Stuff store on MyGraphicO or at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff at Shop Homemade where the every day sale is spend $5 and get a free digital stamp . Watch for Lindsay's blog post introducing the rest of the team.

I used Lindsay's Sketchy Leaves set to make this card. Thank goodness I don't need a sympathy card right now but I wanted to make one to have ready when needed. These beautiful stamps can be used for so many different things.

The layout is from Mercy's Sketch Challenge MTSC46 . I also used the cracked glass technique because I love the look of cracked glass with the autumn leaves. If you haven't tried it, you can find a tutorial on SplitcoastStampers.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
