I'm SO happy, SO VERY happy!

Guess what??? I received an email from Anna Wight (yup, THE Anna Wight!) asking me if I'd like to be a Whipper Snapper Featured Designer...Smileys
Ok, so after I came to, I wrote her back as fast as my little fingers could type and said, "you betcha!" Oh my gosh, you have no idea how excited I am to be a Featured Designer for Whipper Snapper. It's like my most FAVORITE stamp company ever!! And do you know what today is?? It's the release day of Anna's new sets!! This month has THREE sets instead of two and boy are they ever cute! Woo-hoo!! So, hold on to your seat cuz' you're in fer a treat this week!!

Ok, here are the three sets being released today:



Aren't they the cutest?? I'm havin' such a blast playing with them too....
Here are a few cards I made with the Spirit of Christmas set:
{just click on any image to see it up close}





I just LOVE this Santa, or as my hubby say's Santee! I stamped him onto some SU Natural Ivory and colored him with my Copics. I matted the image with some SU Chocolate Chip and stitched around the edges. The DP is from My Minds Eye and I stitched it onto the SU Chocolate Chip card base. The ribbon is just to die for... I'm in LOVE!! It's from SU as well and don't ya just love that big 'ol bow!










Now check this snowman out!! Ain't he cute??? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him!! I stamped him onto some SU Natural Ivory as well and colored him with my Copics too! I cut him out with my circle Nesties and did some faux stitching around the edge with a fine tip red pen to match the DP. This DP is from Cosmo Cricket and is actually only one sheet of paper, I just used both sides. I used some adhesive lace from K & Co. at the seam. I matted the DP onto the SU Real Red CS and stitched around the edges. The card base is SU Natural Ivory and I finished it off with some SU Real Red grosgrain ribbon tied at the side and a button on top! Purteee cute, huh?




And if those two weren't enough to wet your whistle, check out this cute little angel. Can ya tell I'm havin' fun??? I stamped my little angel onto some Papertrey Ink CS and colored her with my Copics. I added some Diamond Dust to her wings and wand for some Angel sparkle. I cut her out with my oval Nesties and sponged some chalk ink around the edges. This DP is from Cosmo Cricket and I stitched around the edges of both pieces. I used my scalloped square Nesties for the center piece and just cut off the top scalloped edge. The card base is SU Kraft and I added a button threaded with some twine to finish her off.

Ok, there you have it.... my first cards made with one of the new release sets, Spirit of Christmas. All three new Anna Wight sets are available today, over at Whipper Snapper Designs.

Wanna see some more AWESOME ideas??

  8. Love the cards. Jolly Santa has that great tree. Love the big bow.

    Snowmen are GREAT!! What a friendly guy with his bird buddies. Love the leaf hat and sparkle snow. Lacy cut out adds just the right touch.

    The stars/snowflakes tie into the star idea and the stiching on the stamp fits right in with your edge stitching. Wonderful job!!!!
