Whiff of Joy Video #1

Here's my card for Katharina's Whiff of Joy guest designer call. I gave this card 100% of my creativity this past week. I even made a short video of the how to make the best bits of this card. It measures ~ 6 1/4 x 8 3/4" and it's pink! I'm not usually a pink person, but I was lucky enough to win these lovely Papermania papers from docrafts.com monthly prize draw (May's draw).


Materials:
Whiff of Joy stamp: Melinda Helping Angel
Penny black stamp "Thinking of You" from clear Salutations set
Papermania "Touch of Pink" patterned paper
Plastic flower shapes bling
Prima flowers
White ribbon
Black eyelets
Fiskars circle cutter

One Color Card: Orange

I've decided to set myself a goal this summer. I'm going to make at least 7 cards in one color only (one for all the colors in the rainbow). I might do them all with Penny Black stamps, but I'm not sure yet.

This is the first One Color Card made using a sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge blog. I chose orange first because it's my favorite color.

Materials:

Penny Black "Garden Friends" clear set
Prima flowers
Quickutz die
Stampin' Up papers
colored pencils
Sakura pen

Cute Penny Black Age cards

Here are some super cute number cards for the challenge over at One Stop Craft challenge blog. I've got two nieces birthdays in July and I figure that by making them matching, but personalized I can't go wrong. If I were to do two completely different cards, I might make one better than the other; this way I know that they are equally cute.


If you'd like to find out which stamp comes from which clear Penny Black set, click on the photo, then hover over the image you like.

I used ALL 6 of my Penny Black clear sets to make these two cards.
Bubbly, Critter Party, Every Which Way, Hugs!, Garden Friends, and Salutations.

I used Quickutz alphabets Paige Mini (Natalie) and Merry (Chloe).

Whiff of Joy - Stamp Something challenge

I've only made a handful of cards this winter; I can't wait for it to be spring. I hope that it will help my craft mojo.

The challenge over at Stamp Something this week is Favorite Somethings. My favorite is always what is newest to me. The newest things in my stash is an Argyle Cuttlebug folder and a Quickutz flower die. Both are birthday presents (my birthday was last week.)

Another present I got for my birthday was a food processor and blender set. I LOVE IT. I've only had it a week and a half but I've used it so much. I love that all I have to do is push a button and I've saved time!

Would anyone care to read blog posts about different things my food processor can do? Or videos? Please tell me yes or no. Thanks.

Material:

Whisper Markers
Crate paper (I think)
