Tiddly Inks Halloween Blog Hop

Tiddly Inks Blog Hop and Sneak Peak Release

Welcome to the Tiddly Inks Halloween Blog Hop!  Today, we are celebrating our favorite time of year with a beautiful and fun hop for all of you.  Are you ready to get your Halloween on?   You'll have until November 2nd to hop with us.

There are many blogs along the way and we'd love for you to leave a comment on each blog.  Leaving a comment will make you eligible for a chance to win a most fabulous prize; a $10 gift certificate to anything digital in our store!  The winner will be announced on November 3rd!

Along the way you will see a number of NEW Tiddly images you've never seen before.  It's a bit of a sneak peak as the release isn't until tomorrow.  Make sure to join us back on the Tiddly Inks blog tomorrow for the new release and a chance at winning your choice of one of the new digital stamps!!!

For my card I used the great image called "Allison the Witch".  I framed her with a great Spellbinders die cut, added it to some fun Halloween papers and added a title cut from one of the papers.  To finish it, I inked all the edges and then used a ton of brads to go completely around the card.

So, are you ready to hop...then get going!

Whimsy Monday Inspriation

Time for a little inspiration for your Monday morning.  

I love Sylvia Zet's designs - they are just too stinkin' cute!  Coloring them is so much fun and they make designing a card a breeze.  For this card I used her image called "Friendship is the Greatest Gift".  I paired it with some older design papers from my stash of scraps, some ribbon, and a sentiment called "Season's Greetings Notables 7" and cut out using the "Notables 7" die cut.

Hoping your Monday is filled with love, laughter and a little crafting time!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Make it Monday - Linky party

For my card I used the adorable stamp called "Be My Mummy" - I love the way he turned out after I inked him up with my Copics.  I put him on a background of embossed and inked paper, added some frayed canvas ribbon, a layer of frayed canvas, and a layer of patterned paper.  The Trick or Treat stamp was from my sentiment stamp stash (sorry, don't know who it is from).

Whimsy Challenge Time - Shabby Chic / Vintage

I am a day late (and unfortunately a dollar short) to post this, but I wanted to share it today to say "Happy Friday" to all my cyberpeeps!

Our challenge this month over at Whimsy Stamps is Shabby Chic / Vintage.  I used this wonderfully versatile stamp from artist Moma's Collection called Garden Party to create my version of a shabby chic card.  I left it without a sentiment figuring I could add one inside when I am ready to gift this one.  It's so versatile that it would make a great card for a birthday, anniversary, get well, good luck,.... etc.

I used a Spellbinders die for the frame, a paper doily, some design papers from DCWV, and then a IO die cut for the fence.  The flowers and lace are just from my stash and the pearls are from Prima.  The edges are distressed and inked to give it more of a shabby feel.

Come join our challenge at Whimsy - it's a great chance to win some fantastic prizes!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafting by Design - Anything goes

Southern Girls Challenge - Shimmer and shine

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge - Anything goes

Crafty Bloggers Network - Anything goes

Make it Monday- Linky party

Card Mania - Pastel colors

Tiddly Ink Challenge Time - Creepy Cute

Trying to catch my breath this week.... Things are CRAZY busy - but good!

So, today is a new challenge over at Tiddly Inks - and it's a fun seasonal theme.  Creepy Cute!  There are a bunch of wonderful Tiddly images that fit this theme - it's hard to decide what to color!  

For my card I chose this adorable image called Spell On Ya.  She is a lot more cute than creepy in my opinion, but still works for this challenge.  I inked her up with my Copics, added some great design papers, a fun colorful frame and a stamped sentiment to complete the look.  I love the colors - they just scream fall and Halloween to me!  

Now it's your turn - let's see what you can come up with to join in the fun for a chance to win some Tiddly love and images!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Make it Monday - Linky party

Whimsy Stamp showcase

This adorable stamp is by Crissy Armstrong.  I enjoyed inking it up with my Copics, using the icy blue's as the base color and adding pinky/reds to showcase it.  The stamp is from Whimsy Stamps called Mousy Candy Cane.  I paired it with a great sentiment stamp set called Season's Greetings Noteables 7 and then used the matching die cut Noteables 7's.  I added an embossed paper that I inked to match the designer papers.  A frame die cut and ribbon are added to highlight the image.  I love the new colors for a Christmas card and can't wait to share this one with someone this holiday season.

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

World Card Making Day Blog Hop

Happy World Card Making Day 2013!

World Card Making Day is a holiday especially for card makers around the world to ... celebrate the creativity of handmade cards and the personal connection that they create between friends and family, AND to kick off (and get a head start on) the holiday card-making season! Today, Whimsy Stamps is celebrating World Card Making Day 2013 with our very own BLOG HOP! The hop starts today at 9.00AM (EST) and ends on Monday 7th October 2013 at 12.00PM (EST). We've hidden a fantastic rubber stamp prize pack somewhere along the hop, so be sure to complete the hop and leave comments on all the DT's hop posts to enter! We will announce the lucky winner on the Whimsy blog on Monday, once the hop has ended.

But that's not all! Once you've finished the hop and entered the prize draw, hop on over to the Whimsy Stamps store where you will find some free digital stamps that have been posted in celebration of WCMD! Be quick to grab them, as they will only be available for a very short time! Finally, we will be posting another announcement on the Whimsy blog on Monday, which could save you a few pennies, so be sure to check it out!

I want to share this card I made a few months ago when I first started with Whimsy Stamps... I fell in love with this adorable stamp called "This Much".  I love the simplistic design of the stamp, yet it says so much.  I added some design papers and a sentiment I created in PS.  The card design is simple but I love how cheery it is.

 Okay, so now it's time for you to hop! Finally, here is a full hop list in hopping order:
