The Scrappy Chick

Stampendous Glittery Flowers and Blog Candy!

Its Saturday night and I am watching GI Joe for the 3rd time this week!  and no, my 6 year old son isn't twisting my arm...I love it too!  But I am a bit A.D.D. so I need to do something else at the same time :)  So here are a couple of cards for you.  I made these back over the summer when I was doing the Glitter/Aceteate tutorial for Stampendous.

I realized that these 2 never went on the blog so I am adding them today.  The first is with Mum Messages by Stampendous, using Marigold and Tigerlily glitters.   The pattern paper is from K & Co.

The next one uses the Big Blossom set from Stampendous.  This is the set that I have to give away to you today... I ended up with an extra set!  I also have 3 small bottles of the ultra fine ultra awesome glitter by Stampendous.

So, simply leave me a quick comment this week and I will draw a number on Friday at 9pm EST!  That simple :)  So, thats it for the night.  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great rest of the weekend.  -Cyndi

Draco the Dragon

Good Morning...its Easter Monday, my kiddos are out of school but I am heading in to work.  Seems a bit unfair, eh?

Before I get to my card...I told you yesterday that we were going to see the Hannah Montana movie...I loved it!  I was sooooo determined that I would NOT cry during the movie, but, well, the little girl in me didn't cooperate.  If you have daughters (or not and are still young at heart) go see it!  It was Way better than any of the Disney movies released straight to the Disney Channel.

OK, you're not here for a movie review...but to see some eye candy, right?  Here is the dragon from Whiff of Joy's first Medieval Collection (The new Medieval stamps are out now, BTW).  I was determined to give the Twinkling H2Os another try...I just need to find my wc paper...it has gone AWOL.  The layout for the card is Katharina's sketch for the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog this week...go check it out HERE.

OK, I am flying off to work...wish I was on my own dragon (I am still having Earagon withdrawl).  Thanks for stopping in!  Please say hi!    -Cyndi

Papertake weekly Challenge

  Here's Kings Jester Charlie (from Whiff of Joy)  again...this time in rich colors of oranges and blues to match the yummy Marakesh paper I was itching to use!  I just adore this Charlie image...one of my favorite Charlies yet for sure!!  I made this card for the Papertake Weekly challenge today...a recipe challenge...1 circle, 2 ribbons, and 3 stamps.

The circle is a Technique Tuesday tile covered with pp and then inked with chalk ink.  The stamps besides Charlie are a sentiment from Party sentiments (WOJ) and swirls from Lizzie Anne Designs.  All images were colored/highlighted with my copics, then I added a bit of gold glitter with my gold spica pen.

Last weeks challenge cards

  I finished up a couple of sketch challenges last night but my internet went bonky so I'm just now posting them :)

Today is Michael's 6th birthday...I can't believe my baby is 6 already!  He starts off the birthdays for the kids...before too long the others will be 13, 14 and 16!  Yikes!  I feel oooold.  so today though we are heading to daddy's restaurant for a birthday brownie, to Cici's for dinner (his favorite is spinach pizza...and yes, all my kids love spinach pizza!  Go figure....oh, and then maybe to see Monsters  vs Aliens.  should be a fun, yet rainy day.

So, first up is a bright one for you...this is my card for last Saturdays (oops) Our Creative Corner Challenge.  I used the adorable little chick from the Spring Whiff of Joy  kit.  I stamped and colored him in twice then cut him out and stacked them up.   The shadow underneath is the smallest AMuse oval that I have...and the saying is by Verve.  Pretty simple card, but I think it turned out really cute on the white background!

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Chickie & Easter basket (WHiff of Joy); All about You (Verve); small oval (A Muse)

• Paper: pp by K& Co; Taken with Teal, white cs (SU!)

• Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko); Summer Sun (SU!)

• Accessories: Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Lg oval punch (SU!); white grosgrain (stash); copics

And for the other card that I gave you a quickie peek of...this is for Wednesdays Whiff of Joy challenge blog...another sketch challenge.    I used Willow with Flowers (which was also a part of the Spring kit but is now available sold separately) and General Sayings.  I am still trying out the Neenah cs.  It really soaks up the color, and its easier to layer and blend, but it runs a bit under the lines for my taste.

The flower I'm still not totally happy with, but it turned out kinda neat.  I couldn't find the right color purple or pink and started to dye a white one, then I thought to use  stickles instead.  Its definitely prettier in person.

Ok, chickies, thats it for now.  I am off to play with my little man :)  Have a great saturday and thanks for stopping by!  -Cyndi

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Willow with flowers, General sayings (Whiff of Joy)

This weeks CCT challenge is a recipe challenge...rip something, 2 papers, and 4 embellsihments.  I also used the color green for the Whiff of Joy challenge blog weekly challenge.

This was an awesome card to make...it helps to start with a sketch from Katharina...she always gives them great twists!  This sketch is for the Cute Card Thursday challenge this week.  I used Maid Charlotte, from the Whiff of Joy Medieval Collection.

I pulled out my favorite Basic Grey line ever...Urban Prairie...the colors were just perfect with this version of Charlotte!  (PS I hear there are NEW peeks starting tomorrow of the newest WoJ line!)

The paper is all Making Memories...a purchase enabled by Amy Sheffer with her gorgeous cards using this line!  Willow is actually cut out and then adhered to a white piece of cs that was run through my Cuttlebug with Diamonds in the Rough, but it was really hard to get a good pic of that.  If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you can see it better :)

Ok, I have got to scoot and get P to his only Wed class.  Thanks for stopping in!  Have a great day :)  -Cyndi

The only new stamps that I have bought recently are a TON of  Whiff of Joy images...so guess what you will be seeing all week?!  The Spring Kit arrived last week, shortly followed by my Medeival Collection images.

  This is Oakley, from the  LE Spring Kit by Elizabeth Bell.  Isn't he just a doll?  He is perched on the tree stump, also from the same kit...but guess what?  All the images can be purchased seperately now...so you are not out of luck!  I used Katharina's sketch for the WoJ Guest DT call that can be found over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog.  (I was afraid I would never get adobe up, and pics in and edited and blogging time on Perry's laptop in time, but tadah!)

The pattern paper is all Basic Grey, Mellow collection...as are the buttons.  I pulled out my Copic Airbrush system for the first time in a while, it definately helped to tone down the white, but I still want more practice with it.  All the panels are sewn with a taupe thread, and that yummy skinny rust ribbon is by Martha Stewart.  The sentiment stamp is from Lizzie Anne designs.

This is Melinda Reading Book, also a Whiff of Joy image,( although one of my older ones, but still a fav) from the Guardian Angel collection.  She is paired with some fun paper my friend Heather bought me, and some fun hardware from my stash.  The sentiment is an Amy R Stamps image( available at All That Scraps).

Whiff of Joy Challenge #17

 2nd post of the morning...I am on a roll!!  (This is really it for now though)

I just made this up right quick for the Whiff of Joy Challenge #17...sometimes mojo just hits!  I love how it turned out...I think some sewing on the panels would have added a lot...but hey, to get a card done that I am happy with in under an hour...WOW!

I used my Mouse Under Party Hat from Whiff of Joy  as the focal image.  I have been dying to color him in and poor guy, he keeps getting shoved to the bottom of piles :(  The layout for the card is todays challenge...a sketch by Donalda.  Lots of fun elements to the sketch...I re-arranged some just a tad.

I used lots of sparkle on this card.  The flower is painted with Celery Shimmerz (as is the bow on the hat).  His little ear is colored with a pink copic then painted over with pink Shimmerz.

  I also used my Spica glitter pens to highlight the dots on the hat and the bow.  Finally I added some bling on the tag with gems from Me and my Big Ideas...I love the color of these and have almost used them up...I need MORE!

Alrighty, I need to go and run a couple of quick errands.  Thanks for visiting!  -Cyndi

Challenge cards

I have 2 cards for you this morning...another for the Whiff of Joy challenge from last week, and todays Unity addicts challenge.

I loved Katharina's sketch last week and wanted to make another card with it before it got lost on my desk :)  I started this one days ago, but it still needed something...so a couple of extra layers and doodads this morning and its ready!

The adorable donkey is one of the Party Animals line from Whiff of Joy, this is Michelle celebrating Donkey.  She is just so happy!  I cut the bg layer from MaMBI pattern paper using a Technique Tuesday tile for the pattern...tracing and then cut out.  The main panel and layers are all done with my circle nestabilites.  Michelle is colored in with copics, then highlighted with my spica glitter pens.

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Michelle celebrating Donkey, Party sentiments (Whiff of Joy)

• Paper: pp (MaMBI); white cs (PTI); Taken with Teal cs (SU!)

• Ink: Memento Cocoa (Tsukineko); Crystal Blue (CTMH)

• Supplies: Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Tile shape (Technique Tuesday); circle ice rhinestone brads (SU!); ribbon (Michael's); markers (copic); glitter pens (Spica); key tag punch (SU!); sponge dauber

  And here is my card for the UNity addicts challenge.  I am not totally happy with it...a bit too simple.  But the challenge was to use red, pink, blue, and yellow and a theme of Valentine's day.

Yellow is always hard for me, so I chose a pp I like from my Urban Prairie Basic Grey pad...lots of yellow and pink and blue.  I added some Rose Red mats for the red...even though it looks more pink I think, its not cheating if the name contains red, right??!

Check to the right of my sidebar for the list of other Unity addicts and go look for more eye candy there!

Its Your Day

  I have been swamped lately with needing birthday cards...mainly for my kids' friends it seems.  So I am sooo glad that  got a few of these adorable Party Animals from Whiff of Joy! This is Henry Celebrating Mouse, again...I think he may be my fav of this line.  No shimmerz on him this time, just a tad of spica glitter pens over the copic marker coloring.

Half of the base of the card is cuttlebugged with the Happy Birthday folder.  The pp is bits of a Junkitz line that was in my scrap basket.  Layout is last weeks sketch from PCP.  The sentiment is also Whiff of Joy, Party setiments.

Toodles!  Thanks for the visit!  -Cyndi

Challenge cards & Snow & CHA peek link

I have been a bad  blogger again this week.  Sorry.  There has been a lot going on here...including  a bit of SNOW finally!  Here's a peek at my 2 youngest yesterday, out playing in the whopping 2 inches we got...woot woot!!  (Hey, its NC...thats a LOT for us!)

  At least they had fun and I got a couple of snapshots to make layouts with!  But I know, thats not why you are here.  Wanna see some cards??

First up is my magical unicorn card!  There is a contest going on over at The Greeting Farm...just download the unicorn image and create a magical unicorn, then you could win 2 free sets!  Woohoo!!  (Only thing is, today is the last day so you better hurry!)

Here is my unicorn...I felt that green was a nice magical color, with blue hair, right??  She matches this adorable pp from heidi Grace.  she is cut out with circle nestabilites, and I added a touch of bling with some fun gems that I am TOTALLY addicted to right now.  The yummy ribbon is from my stash.

Here's a closeup of her.  Her name is Starpaw.  You can see here the shimmer of her mane...there is magical unicorn dust in her hair (kind of like pixie dust??)  That was created with a Stardust glitterpen from Gellyroll...a must have for all crafters!

I pulled out my handy dandy Prisma pencils for this one.  My shading isn't bad, (I used copics after for more variation) but I still have streaks where the pencil lines are in the center when I try to blend with the stump.  any suggesstions?

Here's the supplies:

• Stamps: Magical Unicorn digi (The Greeting Farm); Make a wish (Sandy Lion)

  Next card is for the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog weekly challenge.  This week is a sketch by Katharina.  I did stick to the sketch, but It still needs something.  (More layers??) Darker color to ground it?  Can't decide.  This is what happens when I don't sit and look at a card over a couple of days before I finalize it.

I was trying to use up some scraps on my table from a Piggy Tales project from last week...BTW, did I show you that?  I will in a sec....maybe tomorrow...hehe.  This is almost the end of what I have of the Cinderella collection..but I may can eek out one more card another day with some bits :)

I used my fav of the newest Party Animals release from Whiff of Joy...Henry Celebrating Mouse (along with Party Sentiments).  Is he just stinkin' adorable??!  He is also all colored in not only with copics, but layers of Shimmerz paints on top!

Here you can see his sweet pink glimmering ears!  They just make me want to squeel!!  I love, love, love my Shimmerz!  I only have a handful of colors. My LSS doesn't have any of the new ones that I am coveting...Yet!

BUT, speaking of Piggy Tales earlier...the rep was in our store a couple of days back and the new PT lines coming out next month....eeeekkk!!  I can't wait!!  I love getting peeks:)  If you didn't follow my link the other day, check out the Piggy Tales blog for peeks at the newest 4 collections!

Katharina's Sketch Challenge #37

  Katharina, owner of Whiff of Joy, presented a sketch chalenge on her blog HERE, and the winner receives a new Party animal stamp from Whiff of Joy.  Well, everyone knows I can't resist a good challenge, especially when there are FREE stamps involoved!  And that  little mouse under the party hat is a gotta have too:)  Have you seen all the new adorable images drawn by alison??  Too cute!!

I used my newest WoJ image, Herb with Baby for the sketch and paired it with some new My MInds Eye papers.  I also got to use my new Air gun for my copcs!  (all of these were Presents from my friend Julie who got me a gift cert to All That Scraps... thanks Julie!!)

Here's a closeup of the ribbon treatment.  I sewed the Soft Sky ribbon onto the chocolate cs corner piece, adding some ruffles for interest.  I think it turned out really neat!!  I didn't want too much going on, so I didnt put the ribbon on the other corner piece, just a tag instead, keeping it asymmetrical yet still centered, KWIM?

I also added machine stiching to all the mats on this card...I am loving havng my machine set up again...if I just leave it out I actually use it WAY more:)

(Yes, the corner was a bit unseemly, so I glued a bow over where the piece of ribbon is "mitered")

  And here's the other corner...the sentiment is from a Verve Stamps set, Starlight, Starbright remixed.  I thought this would be another great baby card!  So, thats the main ingrediants of the card...I also added some Glaze to the eyes and nose of each snowman, and to the berries, some highlights with a white gel pen, and some dew drops.

This is last weeks sketch challenge by Heather over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge blog.  I used the WoJ image "Willow with Umbrella"for the main panel.  She is colored with my copics to match the pp I chose...some Urban Prairie from Basic Grey.  I kept the card really simple, or nothing would get finished this time of year, KWIM?

Also used Circle nesties by Spellbinders, chocolate ribbon from CTMH, and some My Minds Eye buttons.

Sorry for the quick post!  Thanks for stopping by!  -Cyndi

JOY

Once again, I have waited until the absolute very latest minute...Whiff of Joy  had the last Guest DT call due today...and I may have even gotten the time zone conversion messed up??  WHo knows.  Even if, I love how the page ended up so, whatever!!!

Here's the page...  The call for the Guest DT spot is over at Paper Craft Planet...just joined today, so come find me!

edited:  Yep, too late!  I thought I converted right, but I was rushing and had a HOUSE full of kids...as if my 4 aren't enough, try adding 3 more (plus my friends) :)

So...I used Katharina's setch for the challenge and decided to do  a page instead of a card.  I have been really bad about not scrapping as much lately...and here is an early resolution...I WILL scrap more this year!!

  Here's the first closeup of the page.  I stamped 2 Guardian Angels for the layout...Melinda blowing kisses and Matthew with presents (both are Whiff of Joy).  I added some swirls from the SU! set Season of Joy.  The large tile is actually one of many in a package from Technique Tuesday.  I inked it directly with a cats eye chalk pad, then stamped over that with Palette ink with the same swirl.

All images were colored with copics, then I added Buttercream Shimmerz to the wings of both angels and the hearts.

  On this closeup you can really see the tile, as well as some of the many buttons I added, the scalloped edge on the PP and the bg paper...it was traced with a larger tile from the same pack then I cut it out and inked the edges.

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Melinda blowing kisses, Matthew lying down (Whiff of Joy); Christmas Verses (Amy R Stamps); Season of Joy (SU!)

Celebrating Halloween with some Christmas cards :)

Happy Halloween!  I hate to admit it, but I am kind of sick of the Halloween cards and treats :(  So I did a couple of Christmas Challenges for today instead!  The first card is for the Whiff of Joy Challnge blog...this weeks challenge was to use red and green.  I pulled out Whiff of JoyCharlotte riding her adorable reindeer which I haven't stamped in a while and made her all nice and sparkly!  I used some of the 6x6 Figgy paper from Basic Grey that I still have from last year and paired it with Riding Hood Red and Always Artichoke...not really bright enough for me...but I have to get out of my box some.

The poinsettia flowers are by Making Memories, and I added some stickles to them and to the brads in their centers....as well as to the brad that I added to my ribbon and Charlotte's earmuffs :)  I got to use some of my Spellbinders dies again...the double end tag and my brackets that shamefully had never been out of the package :(  The sentiment is from one of Amy R Stampsnewest sets...Christmas Sentiments.

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Charlotte and Reindeer (Whiff of Joy); Christmas Sentiments (Amy R Stamps)

• Paper: Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip (SU!); white (PTI); Figgy (Basic Grey)

• Ink: Palette Noir, Riding Hood Red (SU!); Desert Sand (CTMH)

• Accessories: Double end tag die, brackets die (Spellbinders); poinsettias, brads (Making Memories); Candy Cane stickles, Ranger spec ed stickles; markers (Copic); riding hood red tafetta (SU!)

Here's another Christmas card for you, this one using the other 2 new sets that Amy Rjust released at All That Scrapsthis week!  The ornaments were created with the Build a Holiday set....it is absolutely perfect for paper-piecing....Amy was reading our minds!!  I stamped the circles on different pieces of the Figgy paper, then the tops on some goldish tone Figgy paper and adhered them both to the squares.  Finally I added a touch of stickles to the ornaments.  (This card is based on the SCS sketch this week)

The greeting is actually one that is meant for the inside...thus the name of the set...Christmas Card verses, but I wanted something bigger for this card so I put it on the front.  And let me tell you...this is THE set you have ALWAYS wanted!  How many times have you looked for the right sentiment for the inside when addressing and filling out Christmas cards?  Forever!  But no longer!  The set is here and it rocks!!  Click HEREto see the sets.  AND they are on sale today!!

So happy haunting tonight and have a great weekend!  Thanks for visiting!  -Cyndi

Whiff of Joy Challenge #5

Here is my card for Heather's sketch for the Whiff of Joy challenge blog  week.  What an awesome sketch and I had so much fun inking up one of my new Charlie stamps:)  I used Santa Charlie  and paired him with my new My Minds Eye be Merry pattern paper that I picked up at All That Scraps.   I adore all of my Whiff of Joy  images, but this one really reminds me of my 5 year old son Michael for some reason!  Seems like he would just climb right into a bag of presents if the opprotunity presented itself :)

I colored Charlie in with my copics...then stamped him again...cutting out just Charlie and raising him up and then the present again and raised it up some more...the paper toleing technique.  Looks like he's really sitting ON the bag!  The cs is then distresseda lot with Desert Sand ink to make it work with the PP...it wasn't really white or cream to begin with. The sentiment I cut out with my brand-spankin new Spellbinders tag die!!  LOVE THEM!!

Don't forget to stop in tomorrow for the Unity blog hop...I issued the challenge this week!!  and please say hi today...be nice I will have awesome blog candy for you at the end of the week!  -Cyndi

Whiff of Joy challenges 3 & 4

  Since I had such a crazy week last week I never got around to challenge #3...so I decided to hit both at once this week :)  This is last weeks sketch from the WoJ Challenge blog and this weeks challenge: to use Autumn colors.

I pulled out my new Whiff of Joy Willow with Umbrella...she may be my favorite of the newest WoJ releases....not sure yet ?  But I love her!!  I added some flouishes to the cream cs and the background PP with a stamp from the SU! Season of Peace set.  All the pattern paper is Crate Paper...the cs is SU! and Papertrey.  I used more of my Fancy Pants primas that I had been hoarding for like 2 years...they are almost gone now though...so sad!!  The sentiment is from the new sentiment set....General Sayings  released this month at WoJ.      Thats it for me tonight...I am over and out!  Hope you all had a great weekend!  -Cyndi

Triple Challenge card: Willow with hot chocolate

  Good morning!  Sorry for no post yesterday...but I did have a day full of stamping!  One of the creations I made was for the Friday Sketchers blog sketch #21...but it also qualifies for this weeks OCC  challenge...to use colored thread for stitching:)

This image is Willow with Hot Chocolate, one of the latest releases from Whiff of Joy.  I didn't get the guest spot, BTW, but thats ok...I absolutely adore these images and I will of course try again next time!  Have you seen peeks of the new ones scheduled for next weekend?  Oh, wow...here's one...

This is Matthew, a new Guardian Angel.  I cannot wait to get my hands on him!!  There are more ppeks too at Katharina's blog...and of course I will have to buy them all!!  But, on to todays card:

  Isn't she just gorgeous?  These images are so fun to color...I have really enjoyed practicing my copic techniques with these guys!  The stitching around all the layers is in a khaki color...I thought white or dark brown might get lost?  Its actually about the color of the Sahara Sand that I used as the shadow that Willow is sitting on (A Muse oval).  I have also been trying to pull out more of the kazillion flowers that I have been collecting...these brown beauties are Fancy Pants. I also added some flourishes to the corners of the main panel and the sentiment tag, but its really pale and hard to see on the screen.

OH, and this card really could also be for Cute Card Thursday'schallenge....sparkle...if you look close I used a glitter pen on her jeans' flowers, a glaze pen on the mug, and dew drops.   All faint, but noticeable details IRL.  Have a happy Sunday....more for you tomorrow....thanks for stopping by!     -Cyndi

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Willow with Hot Chocolate (Whiff of Joy); baby Its Cold Outside (My Favorite Things); Priceless (SU!); mini oval (A Muse)

Whiff of Joy challenge blog sketch #1

***Post #3 of 3 for the day...scroll down for UnityHIP HOP Thursday and sneak peek for CC Designs***

  WOW!!  It has been a busy morning for posts for me...sorry!  This is the last post for now  I think!  But I had 3 things that needed to go up all today!  This is my card entry for the Whiff of JoyGuest designer challenge :)  You can see the details on the challenge at Katharina's blog ---->HERE.  I didn't spot this until about a week ago...knee deep in design work so of course I put this off til the last minute...what was I thinking??  But, hellooooo...last minute is just me!!

I do have to admit that I really enjoyed making this card today...everything else was all caught up for a minute so I could breathe!  (Then its off to 2 release parties today!!)  I wa s supposed to use any of Katharina's sketches for the card...so I chose the sketch that is for the very first challenge on the NEW Whiff of Joy Challenge blog!  So this is also my entry for that challenge..is that double dipping?  Hope not...I call it time management!

So, for my card I used one of the new Guardian Angel stamps...Melinda Reading Book.  (I also have to share for my North American friends...that Christine at All That Scrapsis carrying these images in her store so shipping won't be quite as long...but she is out of stock of many...they are quite popular!)  My original order from Switzerland was actually very fast...just at a week or so!

I colored Melinda in with my copics...adding a bit of glitter to her charm, necklace, and of course her hair with a gold glitter pen.  I also pulled out one of my new Shimmerz paints to add to her wings...they are so shimmery!!  The book is paper-pieced with the same Basic Greay papers that I used for the background pieces.  Then sentiment is from Verve...I bent it around in a bit of a circle since its an acrylic stamp its not too hard to do.

OK, so don't fpget to check out the new Whiff of Joy challenge blog...and to head over to the Whiff of Joy siteto see all the beautiful Guardian Angels, Oakley and Willows, and Charlotte and Charlies!  (I would send you to enter the GD contest...but time is up in  just 20 minutes or so!...but the link is above in the post if you do want to chack out all the entries)  Thanks for stopping by!

Papertake Weekly Challenge

  I went to Papertake Weekly...no new sketch this week..but there was a challenge to make a yellow card to mail in for making the biggest card ever...see the details and about the BBC Children in Need card HERE.

So, I got to play a bit this morning...planning cards for this, Wed Unity Addicts challenge, and some new releases coming Thursday!  But first I will show you this plus another using my Whiff of Joy stamps.  (BTW....there will be a NEW WOF challenge site starting on Wednesday...I will post a link when it is up and I get a sec!!)  In the meatime here is my yellow card...and you must have noticed if you ever visit, that yellow is NOT my color of choice!  But I do love how soft this turned out...I did also get to use some of my PTI Lemon Tart supplies that I have had sitting idle for some time :)

I also have another Whiff of Joy card for you that I made a while back at a card camp...so I kept it pretty easy.  This one uses Charlotte Riding Reindeer.  She is one of the first WOJ stamps that I got...I just keep forgetting to post this card (it was in the wrong pile on my desk LOL)  She is stamped on White Shimmer paper from SU!, and in real life she is so shimmery and pretty.  I also added some sparkle to the bells on the reindeer's collar with a glitter pen and used a metallic silver sharpie to add a small border to my circle mat:)

I love Whiff of Joy!!

ETA:  I am so sorry Katharina...Whiff of Joyis  based in Switzerland, not Sweden...I knew that...just a brain lapse...call it old age??  Even my 12yr old DD who read the post said..."aren't these the stamps from Switzerland?"  I just rolled my eyes.

I woke to such a happy suprise today...Katharina of Creative Ideas by Katharina  has 2 of my cards featured on her blog for YAOB Sunday!!  How cool is that?!  She is the owner of Whiff of Joy...a new Swedish company that I was bragging about a few weeks back...the images are simply amazing!  The first line...Charlotte and Charlie are fun, whimsical, and simply adorable!  The NEW line of Guardian Angel stamps and Oakley and Willow are breathtakingly beautiful...and I just got my new order in yesterday!!!

So, in honor of Whiff of Joy, I have 2 creations for you today!  The first is based on one of Katharina's sketches for Papertake Weekly ...sketch #11.  I pulled out 2 of my WOJ babies for this one...I thought a nice Christmas card from the family would include more than one child on the image, right?  (At least in my family...but I couldn't fit 4 of them!!)  This is Charlie with Snowballs and Winter Charlotte with cat.  A tiny bit of masking and they fit perfectly side by side :)

I then cut them out with my Oval Nestabilites and added a bit of jazz and voila...a non-traditional-Christmas-colors Christmas card!

• Supplies:

• Stamps: Charlie with Snowballs, Charlotte with cat (Whiff of Joy); Holiday Cheer (Lizzie Anne Designs); Winter Playtime (CC Designs)

• Paper: Barely Banana, Riding Hood Red (SU!); White, Chocolate (PTI); Sonoma PP (SCenic Route)

• Ink: Noir, Burnt Umber (Palette); Kiwi Kiss (SU!)

• Accessories: Corner punch (SU!); Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Chocolate satin ribbon (SU!); Cowboy dewdrops

Next I used Charlie with his snowballs again for this card.  It is based on a sketch from the Friday Sketchers blog...sketch is #19 last week by Heidi from Norway.  I got to pull out some of my fun new goodies from the Stampin' Up! Holiday mini for this one...these felt snowflakes are just yummy!!

And isn't Charlie just the cutest little thing?  he looks so sweet with that pile of ammunition, eh?  (Just like my baby Michael...an angel in disguise)

Thanks so much for visiting!  Hope you have a happy Sunday!  I am so excited that I guess I need to go whip up some magic for Katharina's Guest designer call!!  I would LOVE to win that!!  so I am off to play with my new Guardian Angels ;)

Autumn Charlotte?

Ever since I first saw this Charlotte image from Whiff of Joy, I kept thinking I could make her into a Halloween Charlotte, complete with black cat and all!  Well, turning her toboggan into a witches hat didn't really work out, so I just dressed her for a nice chilly day going to the pumpkin patch instead.

She is stamped onto Papertrey white, then I pieced her hat with the same PP I used for the background...then added a pumpkin over the fur muff (I hand drew that baby believe it or not)  and the cat I decided should be gray instead of black since all 4 of my cats are some shade of gray:)  Yes, I really have 4 cats...and my DD has 3 hamsters...

The grass is from the CC Designs latest release of Sugarplums Scenery.  Lots of really fun pieces for all sorts of scenes you might want to create so that your characters aren't standing in an open space with no ground, or nothing in the air.  The sentiment is 2 separate words from a Unity set...Birds of a Feather...it has tons of single words in it...so cool so you can put together your own phrase!!

The sketch is from Katharina's blog Creative Ideas by Katharina...I thought that was very fitting since she does own the Whiff of Joy line.  And have you heard, the NEW "Willow & Oakley" and "Guardian Angel" lines will be released at Whiff of Joy  next Wednesday!  Can't wait!!

Tata for the evening!  I have been busy today doing some stamping for stuff next week...so lots to post soon:)  Have a great long weekend!  -Cyndi

Charlotte and her kitty!

This image just makes me want to squeel!!!  In fact when my envelope arrived from Switzerland this week I did squeel...I went running from the mailbox to open it....my new Whiff of Joy  stamps!!  They are sooooo cute!  I couldn't wait to get them all inky, but that just didn't happen this week...kids getting ready to go back to school seems to have overtaken my life.

So finally this weekend I pulled out the first one which was Winter Charlotte and cat.  You KNOW how I love all my kitties so this was the first to go into my cart, get mounted, and get inked!  I used Jen del Muro's  SFYTT from about 2  weeks ago...the format was just right for one of these large images.  I also pulled out some old paper that wasn;t getting any love and a couple of last year's SU! Christmas sets.  The sentiment is Elzybells, and the oval is A Muse.  I added just a touch of sparkle to her eyes and jacket with a Gelly Roll stardust glitter pen.

I have a great ide with this same image, and I hope to sneak in a few stamping minutes tonight to try it out... In the meantime, Happy Saturday!   Thanks for stopping by :)     -Cyndi
