Life Itself is a Most Wonderful Fairy Tale. . .

I love having a daughter! From the time I knew I was having a girl, I was so excited for all things princess. She is almost 17 now, but she will always be my little girl and as a mom, I think I will always be drawn to princesses. . .

That being said, I am thrilled to feature a recent image from Whimsy & Stars Studio. . .her name is Little Princess.

And here is my card using this sweet image. . .

I printed the image on white cardstock and colored her with Copic markers. I then printed the image a second time on pattern paper and paper pieced her dress. The sentiment is a quote from Hans Christian Andersen, whose stories I adore.

Be sure to check out the blog daily for updates and creations from the entire Whimsy & Stars Studio Design Team!

Happy Tuesday!

Blessed Harvest

My apologies this is getting posted so late in the day. Sometimes it's very hard to get good light here in the PNW (I see a light box in my future) and I'm not OK posting an average picture of Mabelle's gorgeous images.

I've really been excited for Fall to arrive. I'm excited for the crisp air and changing leaves. Oregon is a picture postcard year round, but the Fall is absolutely stunning. Hence the reason for my Fall inspired card today.

I chose the Blessed Harvest image for my card and I just love it. I finally dug out some Fall/Halloween paper I'd been saving. I really wanted to make a fun card that focused on the image, so I chose to use muted greys with a bit of orange to go along with the pumpkins. I kept it neutral with twine and a brown button, added a small sentiment and a few rhinestones for some flair. This card layout was taken from page 73 of Cardmaker Summer 2013 magazine. All of the instructions and measurements are included (love this) and it came together very quick (love this more).

Remember all of the Whimsy & Stars Studio images are available for immediate download.

I hope you are having a blessed Sunday♥

BOY BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi everyone! It's Audrey from the DT here with you today. I am a wee bit later than hoped because I did get a new computer on Thursday and finally begun installing everything yesterday, but I am on Windows 8 now and ALL the programs that I used before are different and it is taking me a bit to figure everything out. I am having tons of trouble with the picture editor and blogging stuff:(

Anyway, today I am sharing Birthday Wish which you can find at WHIMSY AND STARS STUDIO SHOP and it's available for Instant Download - woo hoo!! I never have enough birthday cards for boys and this image is just perfect for a masculine birthday card!

I have colored this cute image with Copics, and cut out with scissors. I added Marvy Liquid Applique for the frosting trim on the cake. Papers are from a 6 X 6 pack which I think is Glitz Papers. I added SEI buttons at the bottom and Bag O Buttons buttons on top. Circles are cut and embossed with Nesties. Sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink and cut out with Nestie. I hope you like it and remember, you can find Birthday Wish and all the other of Mabelle's FABULOUS images at WHIMSY AND STARS STUDIO SHOP.

Hugs!!

Summertime Fun Encore!

Greetings friends and followers! I'm sharing another card today designed by Mabelle and sold at the Craft's Meow. I just love these fun summertime kitties! This makes me want to grab my pail and shovel and head to the beach.

Summertime Fun

I made this for my oldest granddaughter's birthday, she's quite the cat lover! I colored this cutie with my Copic markers and used this summery patterned paper from Little Yellow Bicycle, "Making Waves". I used my Creative Memories wave border punch, cut a frame with my Cricut and added these adorable buttons from Michael's.

Thanks for visiting today!
