It's the last Whimsy Stamps video hop of the year - I can't believe it! We're using the Cubed Die Set with a Christmas twist so I thought the dies would make great packages under a Christmas tree. I used the Decorate a Tree Die Set to create my tree and the cute bows on top of the boxes.
Make sure you head to my video down below on YouTube for all of the details of the hop and how you could win a $25 gift card to the Whimsy Stamps shop!
My final stamp set from Spellbinders is the Love Never Fails set and I just love the solid flower stamps in this set. I've been starting to collect Mini Distress Ink Cubes so I picked out 7 bright colors to use and stamped out a rainbow of flowers and leaves. I have a wreath die also from Spellbinders so I thought it would make a pretty card design and put them together.
At first I wasn't sure about this card because I used the larger wreath and I thought there was too much open space left in the wreath. I thought maybe going back and adding more flowers might make it "prettier." But now that I'm typing this up after taking photos, I actually really like the open space. I think this would be a good sympathy card or for someone who needs encouragement.
I'd love to know what you think in the comments. Would you make this card yourself and add more flowers? Or do you like the simplicity with the open space?
If you'd like to see how the card came together, check out my "Swipetorial" below on Instagram.
It's the final Whimsy Stamps release of the year, can you believe it? It's hard for me to imagine and that I've been creating projects with these new releases all year and this is the last one.
Today I'm sharing some of the new products I received to create with and I just love how this pastel Christmas card turned out! The soft, warm colors mixed with shiny silver embossed images and sentiment make this proabably one of my FAVORITE cards for the season.

I love the latest Craft Roulette Challenge and thought it would go great with the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge, too! Abigail and I made almost matching cards, I created our card bases using some rich purple cardstock and added Let it Shine Snowflake Paper as well as some green cardstock from a retired paper pack.
Then we each made our own winter birthday scenes with the adorable penguins. I really like how my card turned out and I love how it will look on display. Did you participate in the challenge?
Whimsy Stamps has really great slimline paper packs to help make scene building a breeze! I just love making quick and easy slimline cards - I sit and color while watching a favorite show then just match them to a background. I usually make quite a few Christmas cards, so quick and easy is a good way to go. Plus the scenes are so pretty, they really turn out quite magical!
Check out my video below; I'm only showing one card here, but I end up making three!
