Whiff of Joy DT - sneak peek

Hehehehe If you visited earlier you'll know this post went up without any photos or details LOL! That will teach me to get organised and label all my posts ready! Anyway, it's here now and as you can see it is another of Norma Fickel's cute gnomes for the Whiff of Joy March release. I think this one can be used for many occasions too. I've used him as a good luck card and coloured the flowers as four leaf clovers but if you coloured them pink for example you could add pearls to the centres to turn them into pretty flowers!

I've coloured the image with copics (no surprises there then LOL).

I added some green jute from my stash along with a paper flower and a button threaded with some of Whiff of Joy's new button twine. I have hand written the sentiments onto kraft cardstock and attached them with brads from The Hobby House to the image mat.

Hope you like it and don't forget these gorgeous gnomes and the single stamps from the Love Bug kit will be available tomorrow from Whiff of Joy!! Thanks for looking! x

Whiff of Joy DT sneak peek

Firstly I'd like to say a huge thank you to you all for leaving such lovely comments, it always brightens my day! Today I have one of the images from the Love Bug kit from Whiff of Joy. All the images from the kit will be available separately from 1st March! I have used Webster's pages on my card and sewn the edges.

I have used this beautiful image to make a Mother's Day card but you could, of course, use it for Valentine's day or birthday cards. I've coloured her with copics.

I have used the Dancing Hearts die along the edge of the striped paper (the hearts and dots part) and then used the off cut strip along the top edge (the bit with just hearts). I love how you can use this die to create two different edges. I created the sentiment on the computer and added a charm from The Hobby House tied on with some of Whiff of Joy's new button twine.

The blossom and small rose are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I created the purple flower from a flat Hero Arts flower and some pink stamens from my stash. The ribbon is also from my stash.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! x

Magnolia Down Under Challenge DT - Flower Power!

Woohoo!!! It is time for another Magnolia Down Under Challenge and double Woohoo!! my spring kit arrived on Thursday!!! I just had to use some of them for this week's card, they are all super gorgeous again!!! The paper is from Prima and I've sewn and distressed the edges.

Aren't these images adorable!?!?! I have masked together to gorgeous flower cart and Tilda with her little bunny friend. The flower cart would be gorgeous even on it's own! I have coloured them with copics and added a frame of lace around the edge.

I added flowers from my stash along with a heart charm and a Prima bubble. The leaves are a doohickey die as are the swirls and I also added some butterflies punched with a MS punch.

The sentiment is in the Magnolia spring kit too and the pearls are from my stash.

I have coloured the images with copics and I've inked around the edges with crushed olive distress ink. The gorgeous brads are from The Hobby House.

The gorgeous bee hive goes perfectly with this image and another image from the kit that I haven't shown you yet!

The flowers are a mixture from my stash. The leaves were cut with Whiff of Joy's leaves die. The flower shaped button beneath the green button was made as per my tutorial here. The Bee Happy sentiment is from Whiff of Joy's Mr & Mrs Foxglove image.

Whiff of Joy DT - sneak peek meets Sketch Saturday

I have another gorgeous Norma Fickel gnome for you today from Whiff of Joy's new release "Snow White and the gnomes" to be released on 1st March. I have used the gorgeous sketch at Sketch Saturday for my card. The papers are by October Afternoon from The Hobby House.


I love this singing gnome, he could be used for all sorts of ocassions I think. Here I've used him on a just a note card (note - get it LOL???). I have coloured him with copics and I have written the sentiment along the side myself with a fine tipped pen.


I stapled coordinating colours of spotty ribbon from my stash along the left hand edge to follow the sketch and that is it for embellishments!

Whiff of Joy DT - sneak peek meets Friday Sketchers

I have another gorgeous Whiff of Joy preview for you today! This time with a new gnome by Norma Fickel! She has created the cutest set for our March release, "Snow White and the gnomes"! I love them all!! For my card today I've used "Birthday Gnome". One of the things I love about these gnomes is you can colour them in boy or girl colours, I think! I have used the gorgeous sketch from Friday Sketchers for my card. The papers are Bo Bunny from my stash and October Afternoon from The Hobby House.

I have coloured "Birthday Gnome" with copics and added twine and buttons along the side. I saw this in the super talented Kylie's card last week and loved the idea - thanks for the inspiration hun!

The sentiment is from Tickled Pink Stamps and I added the dots myself around the edge of the circle.

I've also sewn around the edges of the papers.


I have coloured the gorgeous image with copics. I just love the clothes and shoes on Norma's images.


I added a scrummy selection of flowers from my stash.
