Whiff of Joy Release Day!

Happy Friday! It is finally release day over at Whiff of Joy stamps, and all those gorgeous digi images that the DT hae been sharing peeks of, are now available here at the Whiff of Joy on-line store.

Here is my card creation using Lazy Afternoon Reading. Love, this cutie and his loyal companion and don’t they look so comfie and relaxed?

I used my copics to color this up and added some shadow around the image with a Prisma color pencil. Then I sponged quite heavily with Tumbled Glass distress ink. I printed out the image on some computer paper and then used this as a mask before I spritzed Studio Calico Mr Huey mist all over.

I used another Lori Whitlock cutting file and my Silhouette to create the card base. It is soooo easy and I love the different bracket shape. I then added some brads and die-cuts to finish my card off.

Here are some links for you:

Thank you so much for swinging by! Have a fabulous day and I hope that you have fun with these new images!

Whiff of Joy Sneak Peekies!

Happy Thursday Everyone! Hope all is well with you all. I thought I was doing great with no symptoms of allergies this Spring, when boom….I don’t know what tree pollen is flying around right now, but I am definitely allergic to it :(  So, I had to take some anti-histamines which always back me feel zombie-like.

My feet are also killing me but it is because of something very, very good :) One of my mother’s day presents were these gorgeous Rutherford Irish hard shoes!!!!!  OMGosh! I love them! Thing is…..they are pretty stiff right now and not at all broken in. So…..sore wee feet at the moment as I am trebling away to get them to form to my feet properly!

So, back to the sneak peek! Here is another adorable digital image from the release that will be available on Friday.

I created another Project Life insert page using this Lazy Summer Days image. I printed it off and then tore around it to create this very fun look. I also used a template and some Tumbled Glass distress ink to create a slightly faded back-ground. I die-cut some patterned paper using a variety of Whiff of Joy dies and then I was done! So fun!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Whiff of Joy Sneak Peaks Day #3

Happy Wednesday! Already it is the middle of the week! The kids have Friday & Monday off, so it will be a lovely, long week-end!

 

I am sharing my first sneak peek of Whiff of Joy’s May release which is an all digital one :) There are several gorgeous images that will be all be available as of May 17th!

I have a super productive day in my craft studio…the first time in a long time that I really had time to just play!

First up is this delightful Sweet Maya image entitled:  i want 2 talk 2 you. I used a cutting file from Lori Whitlock and my Silhouette to create this fun card base. I added some details to the front. A Whiff of Joy pearl brad and these super fun chevrons. They are addictively easy to cut out and stack and I (heart) how they look :)

Here you can see how the panel just slides out from the belly-band. I added a little speech bubble and sentiment….both are from Whiff of Joy.

Finally, here is the inside panel completely pulled out. Here are some product details for you:

A two card post :)

Happy Monday everyone! It has been busy, busy in our little household with many things happening at once. One very important event was the Confirmation of our middle son. It was a beautiful ceremony and we were extremely proud of him. Lots of preparation in our home for the party afterwards and moving forward, the boys all have their music exams today. I am pretty sure they will all do well as they have been practicing up a storm. I hope the neighbours haven’t minded too much :) My eldest is leaving on a school trip and I am getting the laundry done and will have to run to get a few bits and bobs for him to take with him.

In the midst of this, I have managed a few projects……………but am behind schedule for sure. I would love to spend some quiet moments in my craft studio………hopefully soon.

For the time being, I want to share my weekly project for Stamp and Create with you. Honestly, Lacey has the best inventory of stamps and papers and ribbons! So much to choose from. This is a newly arrived stamp.

As an avid reader, this image was an absolute must-have! Paired with this sentiment from PTI, it is perfect to go into my Project Life album. The image is Saturated Canary's Reading Beauty and was colored with my beloved copics.  I added some banners made with some paper scraps from a MME paper pad and added white dots using Liquid Pearl from Ranger as well as some adhesive gemstones.

This week's new  Stamp & Create candy is:

I also want to share my latest LLLC creation with you. We were following a theme of “Sparkle & Bling”

I used the image New Years Marci, as well as the Scallop Border die and Butterfly die. By using this lovely mauve color, I think she can be used for more occasions than just New Years. The paper is old……very old from Basic Grey. I am making a concentrated effort to use my stash :) The card fold is a Stair-Step card. Here is the video I created a while ago, that shows you how it is done:

Thanks for stopping by!

Whiff of Joy Challenge # 154

Happy Wednesday Everyone! It is the middle of the week already. I have so much going on at the moment, but I do have something fun to share with you today.

This time the Whiff of Joy Challenge is: Anything but a Card.

I want to share these fun luggage tags that I made for my son when he went away on a school trip:

They were quite easy to make. I colored and fussy cut the images out. Then adhered them to some patterned paper. I measured out the laminating pocket and made sure that I cut the paper for fit perfectly. On the other side of the tag, I printed out his name and information and then popped it into the laminator. These tags need to be sturdy :) I added a grommet to add even more strength and also, because it finishes the tag off beautifully :)

Both images were included in the Whiff of Joy Spring Fall kit.

I hope you can play along with us at the Whiff of Joy Challenge! It is always fun to see what you make!
