Card no. 79 - Whiff of Joy Sneak Peek #2

Happy Halloweeen! He he he .... well, the card is not "Halloween -y" at all, in fact, it is VERY "Christmas -y". It is the day before all the gorgeous Whiff of Joy stamps will be released, so I wanted you to sneak a peek at the upcoming Collection. I used both the Stamp and the Swirls Die - absolutely gorgeous!

Card no. 78 - Whiff of Joy Sneak Peak!

Oh, my! What an insane week!!! Anyways, finally I squeezed in my much needed "free time". I've got the brand new stamps from Whiff of Joy, which will be released November 1st, and simply could not wait to ink them up. You are in for a treat everybody! These are GORGEOUS!

Somehow I had to redo this card few times and I still feel that it's not it. I just couldn't figure out what it was that was missing or too much.

Anyways, we had crazy busy day on Wednesday with my hubby being gone, Parent Education Night yesterday, Halloween Party tonight - and I just started making our costumes today - I know I am crazy ... tee heee ... but they turned out fabulous - could have done better job hemming them, but I just couldn't be bothered or had time. I finished all four 10 minutes before we had to leave - talk about perfect timing! He he ... Guess what we were ... the Incredibles! All four of us! I L♥VE IT!

As for my card - I used one the gorgeous new to be released Whiff of Joy Stamp and Snowflake Die - aren't they gorgeous? I am in love with this stamp - can be used on so many occasions and holidays. I also used A LOT of Stickles - on pretty much all the edges. Spellbinder's Label no. 5 was used to create the little window effect, here and there few more details and I was done - on the fifth try. LOL!

Hope you like it! Come back for more! I am making a new one as we speak, write, well, as soon as I am done typing ....

Card no. 77 - Let it snow...

Today I have a super cute card to share with ya'll. I used the Stamp from Whiff of Joy's October release - super cute Seal and Season's Greetings Sentiment with a matching Die! Simply delicious.

I used a lot of glitter and sparkle to make this baby shine! LOL! I used Crystal Lacquer to add the water illusion to the water.

Layout used was from the Sketch Saturday Challenge and I also distressed the edge a bit with the Distress ink for the Whiff of Joy Challenge no. 90 this week.

Enjoy!

THIS CANDY IS CLOSED NOW !

Hello everyone. I hope you're having a good week!

So here is the surprise - I just got THE fabulous new Teresa Collins Stampmaker (like a week ago) but I haven't had many chances to play with it yet - surprise surprise first my printer ink was out - and then my little one was sick, but quick trip to Costco and some mommy love fixed both ...

Anyways, I would like to share this joy and offer one of you a stamp - that you design yourself ... NOTE: NO copyright infringement ladies!!! ... It can be an image that you drew, your little one drew, signature, sentiment, etc. you choose ... the biggest dimensions stamp that I can make at the moment is 4" x 2 3/8" (104mm x 62mm). I'll ship Worldwide!

What you have to do:

1. Become a follower of my Blog (I know, I know ... but I truly want you to come back - and if you feel like it comment every now and then ☺)

2. In the comments tell me what stamp you'd like to design? (sentiment, your little one's kindergarten writing, drawing, etc. ...)

3. Link the picture of my candy on your blog's sidebar or make a post about it.

3. Add your name to Mr. Linky (only once, please) before October 25th. I will draw a name by Random.org the day after.

Good luck!

P.S. Working on some Whiff of Joy GDT cards, so come back soon!

Card no. 74 - Whiff of Joy Challenge Sketch by Jane

Over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog we have a fabulous Sketch by Jane. Here is my take on it.

I want to point out those glassy beady sprouts ... not sure what to call it. I know that you can buy it online for around $3.99, but I just picked it up at my local Michael's (from the Wedding Section) for only $1.49 - pretty good buy I think :)

Enjoy!

Card no. 73 - Happy Birthday and fun "girly" project

Today I made my first attempt for an Easel Card - easier than I thought and what a fun to make it too!

My older daughter's little friend had a birthday party, so I thought what a perfect opportunity to make a card with one of the fabulous Whiff of Joy images since for the next two months I am the Guest Designer ... yeah, I am braggin' :)

Also, I found a fabulous tutorial how to make hairbows and I really wanted to give it a try. Here is what I came up with:

The Card

The Image Detail

I used the same Designer paper and cut out a little circle and attached to the page pebbles. The look is fantastic. I will most definitely be using those again (and again).

The fun Pebbles Detail

I decorated the package with the same "Medieval" theme. I didn't have the same cardstock paper, so I used similar color, different texture.

The Package

And here are ...

The Hairbows

They were really fun to make. And OH-SO-EASY!!! Next time I need to buy a little longer fancy ribbon - I think they could be a little "thicker" or add third color. I surely will be making more.

The Detail

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics, unknown Designer papers from my friend Melodie

Stamps: Whiff of Joy - Charlotte the Queen & the Castle from the Medieval Collection colored with ProMarkers, ShinHan Markers & Ciao Copics; round Happy Birthday from Inkadinkado; Alaina's name spelled with the Alphabet Stamps from Scrappy Cat stamps; Sweet Birthday wishes stamp from Inkadinkado

Embelishments: Page Pebbles by Making Memories, Rhinestones by KaiserKraft, Ribbon from Michaels & JoAnn's, Stickles, Glimmer Mist, Heart button from JoAnn's

Tools: Spellbinders' Nestabilities - Lables no. Six & Classic Scalloped Circle, MS Loop Edge Punch, Paper Trimmer, MS Scoring Board
