DT Whiff of Joy - Henry with Large Rose

Howdy from LA!! This CHA convention is beyond comprehension .. seriously overwhelming stuff, but OH SO MUCH FUN!!! I have been threatened with expulsion for my paparazzi tendencies but fear not, I will take the risk to get you all the pics of the show!

I just {heart} the new Whiff of Joy stamps and today I am sharing my little Henry with Large Rose. I  also{heart} Henry Mouse - very very much :D !!

My papers are from the Love Me collection by My Mind's Eye, as are all the die cuts {banner, bingo card & i.love.you sentiment} This kit is just fabulous to work with.

As always, I've machine stitched my papers onto my cardstock and I've added some of the fabulous satin ribbon from Whiff of Joy. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Ok... back to work ;) Have a FABULOUS day!

DT Whiff of Joy - Bon Voyage :D

Hi everyone. Today I am sharing a card I made using one of the Travel stamps from Whiff of Joy. As I am off to the CHA convention tomorrow I felt it appropriate to have a travel themed card today, lol.

This little guy is called Waiting for the Train. In hindsight I should have used Catching the Plane.. or Around the World, as  a train is about the only means of transport I won't be taking in the next few days!!

My papers are BG Indie Bloom, and I've matted and stitched them to both white and kraft cardstock. The luscious ribbon is also from Whiff of Joy, it's a beautiful satin ribbon that comes in many colours - you can find it HERE.

To embellish I've added some half pearls

Ok, well I had better get myself off to bed for some sleep. I am packed, my email confirmations have been printed and I have my kindle/iPod charged up for the long journey!

Have a great night.. or evening if you're to the left of me ;)

DT Whiff of Joy & Whiff of Joy Challenge

Hi everyone!! Well good ole' blogger let me down again and didn't publish this post for me.. but my silver lining is that it fits the new Whiff of Joy Challenge - Love is in the Air - which starts today :D 

On my card I've used another of the wonderful Valentine release stamps - Henry with Large Bow. This little guy just oozes CUTENESS!!!!! 

 

 I embossed some white cardstock with my swirl embossing folder and stitched it down onto some red card. Before stitching it, I adhered the ribbon so that it too would be stitched on each side.

I coloured Henry with Copic markers and trimmed him out, then I adhered him with 3D foam dots for added dimension. 

The sentiment is by Waltzingmouse Stamps and I've cut it out with my cuttlebug and a classic circle nestabilities and then mounted it on foam dots. For embellishment I've added some white pearls.

Good afternoon! Today I would like to share a card I made using one of the Valentines release stamps from Whiff of Joy.
