New Whiff of Joy Stamps

Whiff of Joy are releasing some new stamps on the 14th February Look here to see some more sneak previews

Sugar Bowl Challenge 4 - One

This week's challenge was simply to only use one piece of patterned paper.

I have used the Sugar Nellie Chef Hamish stamp and coloured it in using Pro Markers. This was then cut and mounted using Nestabilities. The patterned paper is from the DCWV Sweet paper stack. I have threaded a ribbon through the stamped image and added a few gems. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.

Is there a technical name for this?

This is the layout that the lovely Alli taught us how to do at the weekend retreat. Not sure if it has a name for the technique?

You use two sheets of 12x12 card and then with some clever folding and cutting, you can make it into 4 layouts. It is a bit like a never ending card, it just keeps unfolding. Zoe loved it.

The papers are from My Minds Eye Magnolia range and I have used some Thickers and some Magic Motifs snowflakes.

How clever is that!!!!

My Year - 12th February - Pink

I love American Craft Thickers and these gorgeous pink chipboard Roller Rink letters have got to be my favourites. So they are so pink and so glittery!!!!

Sugar Bowl Challenge 3 - Love and Valentine

Just in time with a couple of hours to spare!!!

Here is my card for the third challenge over on The Sugar Bowl. The theme was Love and Valentine.

I have used the True Love Leanne Ellis stamp coloured with Pro Markers and a Sakura glitter pen. The papers are from the DCWV Sweet paper pack. The greetings stamp is from Hero Arts and I have added some ribbon, metal ribbon sliders and flowers with buttons in the middle.

My Year - 11th February - Flower

This is a photo of a Kalanchoe that lives on the windowsill in our Finance office at work. It is a bit leggy but the flowers are pretty and delicate.

My Year - 10th February - Zoe

This is a cheat for a photo today as I am feeling grotty with a cold and just cannot summons up the energy to take a photo. So I am using a photo of Zoe in the snow from last week.
