Whimsy Release Review and Winner!

Whimsy Stamps introduced so many beautiful NEW products in September including stamps, sentiments, papers, dies and of course some Shape EZ cut files that we all can't wait to show you a recap of inspiration from the DT.

WINNER OF MY CANDY FROM THE SEPTEMBER RELEASE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!

So as to not bore you too much . . .  If you played along in the hop, you may have noticed my Christmas makes were just not happening!  However, I flourished out the orange, black and yep even purple embellies for this one and came up with some inspiration for the fall season instead.  Including today's project which I used one of the die in the Pumpkin Trio set and made 5 of these little quickies for my monthly card class at the Sticker Store and More.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to class last Wednesday but I've saved them to share next month along with my new 5 makes!  So any of you ladies from my class that follow along here . . . . . . close your eyes!!  tehe!

I literally have been googly eyed over the makes with Washi tape lately and just hadn't bought any until last week!  I chose some traditional themes from Tim Holtz, then some small strip sets from and placed it under to break the flow.  Scrap paper (that was the theme of my card class this month), was used for the rest of them card.  I cut through the base stock and design paper with the die and simply switched up the cut outs onto the other cards.  I distress the mouth line and rolled it up a bit, popped the die cut up on the inside of the card and added some string, leaf c/o from my stash and a button.  There was a little stamp from Studio G of acorns added to the inside just for a touch and the cards were done!  This was probably the easiest card I've made all season and I felt great about using up some of my scraps ta-boot!

Enjoy!  But don't forget, today there are many other projects to see with the September Whimsy Release products, so stop by the Whimsy Stamps Inspiration blog and see them here.

If these photo's are blurry, I apologize but my camera has no de-noise setting.  I am going to look for an edit to make these more clear but some objects with numerous geometric lines appear fuzzy without it.  If I find one, I'll replace them.  Bummed :(

For five lucky ladies in my class!

So, It's time! 

The big winner, via Random.org, of September's candy giveaway of the Pumpkin Trio Die is . . . drum roll please!! . .
