Card no. 75 - Winter Buddies

Happy Saturday everyone! I have a sweet Easel card to show you today that I made with the super cute new Whiff of Joy stamps from the October release.

I made this card to donate to a local Mommies Network for their annual holiday auction. All the proceeds will be donated to local mommies.

This post will be short, sorry ... we're about to go to the Pumpkin Patch to take our family pictures :) so I need to hurry ...

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

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

Card no. 72 - Birthday Wish

Well, this is my first Whiff of Joy card since the huge announcement ... hee heee ....

I colored the image yesterday (and few more), but put it together today - super quick and easy. I tried to add flowers and bows and other embelies, but nothing fit in right, so I just left it the way it is ... the papers being fairly bold make up for it ...
