On Wednesday (23 January) Whimsy Stamps released this month's new rubber designs, Shapeology dies, Whimsy Designer Paper packs, Shape EZ templates and *new* Whimsy Prints pre-coloured toppers. From then until 29 January the Whimsy Stamps DT and Special Guests are showcasing these fabulous new goodies with a daily mini blog hop and I am part of today’s hop!


 Each mini blog hop has a new release prize hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw. To be entered into today's mini blog hop prize draw, be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the DT's posts listed below by 12.00PM EST tomorrow.

 

 I used this fun Kenny K and replaced the martini with balloons since it was for a younger girl. And I added the new birthday sentiment from raindrop echo.  For dies, I used the balloon cluster die :)

Stamp Something and a Sneak Peek!!!

Hi Everyone,

It's Stamp Something time and I also have a sneak peek of the new April release from Whimsy Stamps for you!!!  New stamps come out Wednesday, April 13th and we'll be having a hop with tons of prizes!!!  But for your sneak of sentiments...There are 3 on here from Raindrop Echo's newest set at Whimsy Stamps, party mini seals!!  I just love them!  They are great to use alone or combine together!
The theme at stamp something is sassy, so I used sassy Madison avenue, if you don't have stamps with sass, that's OK you can still enter will circles!
I colored her with copics, then paper pieced her presents, then added flocking to her coat and finally gave her a little pearl earring.  Papers and ribbon are SU, flowers are from wild orchids.

Sunday Sketch and Stamp with a Whimsy Sneak peek!

Hi All!!  It's time for another fun sketch at Sunday Sketch and stamp!!   I used a new sneak peek image from Whimsy Stamps for my card this fortnight.  This is Brooklyn Babe from Kenny K.  Super sassy huh?  The sentiments are digi's from whimsy as well, created by Ann Vento.  The paper is actually ski slope or something like that from SU.  I stamped the orange layer lightly with classified ads also from Whimsy.  If you don't have classified ads yet, it's on sale for 7.50$ today, an awesome price for such a great background stamp!!!!
Check out the Whimsy inspiration blog for a list of other sneak peeks!

Kenny K Day

Well it's snowing like crazy here today, so I thought it was the perfect time to get to some crafting!!!  Here's a Kenny K rubber card I recently made. It's sassy Kitty katastrophe from Whimsy stamps.  The sentiment is from the fast lane sentiments also from Whimsy.  I used some papers I received in a swap, so I'm not sure what they are.

Kenny K

Whimsy Stamps has some fab news to share with you today - we have a new rubber artist joining our team.... KENNY KIERNAN!

As many of you will know, Kenny K is currently a digital stamp artist (amongst many other things) and although Whimsy will not be carrying any Kenny K digis, we are making some of Kenny's existing designs into rubber and then hopefully adding some new designs along the line that will be exclusive to the Whimsy rubber collection!

So to celebrate this wonderful new venture, the Whimsy Stamps DT plus our fab special Whimsy guests Elaine Hughes, Deb, and Janna, are holding a BLOG HOP to showcase the EIGHT images that are being made into rubber:

All That
Devilish Donna
Download Diva
Kitty Katastrophe
Luscious Linda
Movie Star
Rock Chick
Troublemaker

Remember that Whimsy Stamps will be carrying the rubber versions of these stamps only. Kenny K will continue to offer the digital versions in his store. The rubber stamps are available to PRE-ORDER from today from the Whimsy store, and will start shipping on the 27th, right after the holidays!

Our super-talented Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) has designed some wonderful digital sentiments that work fabulously with these images - thank you Ann! These are also being released today!

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from DEB's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the beginning of the hop at Simonne's blog.

The hop starts today (Thursday December 16th at noon EST) and ends on Thursday December 23rd at noon EST.

For this hop we have 4 different prize draws! The grand prize of ALL 8 of the new release rubber stamps is being hosted by Denise at the very end of the hop, but there are also 3 mini candy stops throughout the hop! I'm not going to tell you where they are, so you'll just have to keep on hopping to find them! *wink* [Winners will be announced on December 23rd after the hop ends - what a wonderful Christmas present for those lucky hoppers!]

But...one of them is RIGHT HERE!!!!!!  Please leave your name in the linky for your chance at 2 Kenny K images of your choice!!!!!

For my blog hop creation I used .......Download Diva.  There are a few other Whimsy Stamps on there too.  Ann's cool new sentiments and the new music notes background!  The papers are from Basic grey.  I also added some gold spica highlights to her hair so she's sparkly IRL, not so much in the photo though:(

So now it's time for you to continue the hop by hopping on over to ELAINE's blog and prepare to be blown away by her fabulous creation!

Finally, here is a complete blog hop list in hopping order:
