Whiff of Joy Project of the Month

Happy Saturday Everyone! It is the last Saturday of the month and that means that it is time for our monthly project theme! Every month, the Whiff of Joy Design Team will work on the same Project theme and we will post all our interpretations on this blog the last Saturday of each month!

Here are links to our themes from the past months, in case you missed them:)

January ~ Bookmarks
February ~ Charmed
March ~ A Doorhange
April ~ Die-lightful

This month’s project theme is:

Altered Notebook

Here is the one that I created. I bought a notebook at the $ store and then took off the front and back cover, replacing them with kraft cardstock. I used my Bind-it-all to punch the holes in the cardstock. Easy-peasy.

I stamped the image with Memento ink and then for a fun change-up, I used Prismacolor pencils to color it up. I love the softer, mute look that this gives. Before I added it to the notebook, I took an oval Spellbinders tool and embossed the shape around my image. I then colored the indentation with a white Prismacolor pencil. I masked off the area and used some Studio Calico mist over onto top. The charm and alphabets were strung with some twine and adhered with glossy accents. The tabs were made with a WoJ die-light and I ran the die-cut through my crimper to create that fun effect. The butterfly was also adhered with glossy accents and I covered over on top with a clear Wink of Stella pen.

La-La Land Craft Stamps

Happy Friday! Another week is behind us and we are getting closer and closer to Summer Break!

Here is my card for this week’s La-La Land Craft Stamps Inspiration Friday with the theme of Circles.

Time to get started on thank-you cards for teachers. This one is simple and sweet. I embossed Neenah cardstock with a Cuttlebug folder to get these raised dots. I sponged a little Tumbled Glass distress ink over the edges. I also punched out some circles with some MME paper from an older line: Alphabet soup. The sentiment is from MFT. I used Backpack Marci and tHeart Banner Die, both from LLLC.

Copic Markers:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20
Hair: E40, E42, E43, E44, E47
Aqua: BG10, BG11, BG15

Whiff of Joy Challenge # 155

Happy Wednesday! I have my card for this fortnight's Whiff of Joy challenge to share with you and this time around, the theme is:

Happy Birthday

I decided to make a card for my son who will be turning 8 at the end of the summer. Boy, it is unusual for me to be so much in advance, but I had the idea for this card and it is perfect for my son!

There is a lot going on in this card, but by keeping the color scheme really simple, the card is not over-whelming!

I absolutely adore the Whiff of Joy themed charm packs that have been released with almost every new stamp release. They co-ordinate so perfectly with the images! This one is so sweet, I just had to show you a close-up.

Catching Up…..

Happy Tuesday everyone! We had a long week-end and so I am way behind in everything. Before moving forward with my post I want to say that  my heart and prayers go out to all those affected in Oklahoma.

I have my Stamp & Create card to share with you today:

I used Tangle Tilda from Magnolia's Once Upon A Time collection. As this is another Project life insert for my album, I kept the embellies pretty much as flat as I could. I adhered the larger of the die-cut butterflies using the Tim Holtz tiny attacher because it is simple and I also love the look. The rest were adhered with Glue dots. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the border and used some baker’s twine to wrap around the banner shape.

Here is the Stamp & Create Candy

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!
