More Valentine's Day Inspiration from our DT!

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and our Design Team have been busy bees creating precious cards in celebration of this special day!

Here is another collection of pretties for our inspiration! I hope you are encouraged to create cards for your loved ones and dear friends. Nothing compares to the joy of opening our mailboxes and receiving some love and happy mail :)

All of these cards feature my latest collection of Valentine’s Digi Stamps available at my Etsy store. http://www.etsy.com/shop/WhimsyAndStarsStudio

Have you seen my new cute rubber stamps sets?

Card design by Kathy (Design Team)

Oh my goodness! Today I received this cutie card by my sweet friend, Kathy Curry (Design Team). I love the cheery color palette, the fab coloring and all the glittery touches, totally love the orange bow too! Visit Kathy's blog for info on this card recipe willstampforwine.blogspot.com/2012/01/tuesday-morning-sketches-129.html.

She created this card using my new rubber stamp set: "Happy Birthday".

My little collection of rubber stamp sets are available at my Etsy store. I ship them directly from my studio and each set come signed by me :) Happy Mail directly to your mailbox!

The rubber stamp sets are made of high-quality, deep-etched red rubber and come already mounted on EZ-Mount Foam ready to be trimmed. You can use them with your acrylic stamp blocks. Each set comes packaged in a cello bag.

At this time I have five sets available….

I'm working on my ✿ NEW SPRING COLLECTION of Rubber Stamp Sets ✿ and soon you will be able to be part of helping me select which designs will go to the press! I'm really excited and looking forward to show you all of the new cute designs!

Stay tuned!

Great Idea! Paper Piecing with Digi Stamps

Here is a gorgeous and fabulous idea by my dear friend, Holly Mays (Design Team). What a clever idea! She created this cute card using my “Cups of Kindness” Digital Stamp and using paper piecing as her main technique.

Holly has a fabulous blog and shared this tutorial on her blog: http://hollysangels.blogspot.com/2012/01/cup-of-kindness.html

Great tip from Holly: “The paper I used was smaller than normal copy paper size. I put a bit of tape at the bottom of the patterned paper and adhered it to white copy paper. I ran it through the printer.”

 

Next Step: “I put double stick tape on the back of the patterned paper and cut the cups out ~ I then attached them to my white cardstock.”

Final Step: “After paper piecing the cups ~ I colored the flowers with copic markers. Bling was added to the center of the flowers ~ LoVe me some BLiNg!”

A special THANK YOU to our DT: Holly, for her wonderful project!

Valentine's Digi Stamps are here! NEW 2012 DT

Lots of pretties :) Valentine's Digi Stamps are finally here!

Valentine's is one of my favorite days....Not only I love the pink, red and white color palettes but I love to celebrate the Love I have for my dear hubby, my kids, family and all of my special Friends. It's the perfect day to tell those you love how much they mean to you! Plus, I believe Snail Mail is totally back (I call it Happy Mail)! Nothing like opening our mailboxes and seeing a cute card waiting for us!

My little designs are perfect for all kind of paper craft projects, cards and scrapbooking. All Digital Stamps come in high resolution jpeg files ready to be printed and colored.

Also, my NEW Rubber Stamps Sets are made of high-quality, deep-etched red rubber and come already mounted on EZ-Mount Foam ready to be trimmed. You can use them with your acrylic stamp blocks. Each set includes a sentiment too!

I would like to invite you to visit my little Etsy store and see all of these designs and more!
