Winner! PPinky Candy and Shape EZ with PPINKY!

For the Winner of my Candy and the new PPInky candy, go all the way to the bottom of post!

Good Morning!  It's my turn to show off one of my favorite PPinky Rubber stamps exclusive at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps Store!  I've used my Derwent Inktense pencils on the Mr. Snowman image and in non traditional colors!  

I've combined this adorable Mr. Snowman image with one of my favorite Holiday Shape EZ templates called the Snowy Ball template available in my ETSY Store today!  The template has everything you need to create the base and the design paper layers that fit perfectly inside the base.  You can cut these by hand when running the design paper through your printer like a digital with the PNG or JPEG file types, or you can cut them with your machine as well!  

These Stamps are created with a special screen process in order to contain the wonderful shading that Chrishanthi the designer of PPinky includes in her images!  That's what makes them so different and quaint.  When you stamp them with a dark black ink, the shading may not allow your coloring medium to be as vibrant as you would like, however, I have created a video that can show you many options that resolves this!  I would love for you to 

If this video does not display correctly, please visit my You Tube Channel 

and see for yourself how you can stamp them to get the best quality possible!  Have fun!

Falling in with Shaylee and some Candy!

Hello crafty friends!  It's Tuesday morning and Autumn has struck the state of Michigan this week, the leaves are becoming red and gold and it inspired me to design Shaylee from Art by Miran with the beautiful colors of autumn today!

This sweet little fairy with glitter in her hair and blushing cheeks was just a delight to color!  Her wings are fluttering among the flowers while she gazes off into the future of the season to come!  A simple card base of lovely My Minds Eye dp and some great ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons and some of my new WOC stamens in white, brought this card together beautifully!

Anyway, I hope to have inspired you to grab a fairy and color with the tones of autumn!  As always, have fun!

It's time for another one of my die giveaways!  It's been such a long time!  This is one of my favorite die designs with Whimsy Stamps!  Just enter your link below and I'll choose a winner on the 19th!  That's right you only have a few days but after this winner there's a really wonderful candy next!
