Stamp with Fun #116 DT card

2011-06-23T11:04:00.000+03:00

Aaargh! Again I'm late with my dt post for Stamp with Fun...this time I've had some hardware problems...even my camera has finally decided it won't play ball. A while back I found my camera from our fireplace, not really from the hearth but close... Our daughter had decided to hide it there and we had had fire in the fireplace non the less. Well the plastic pieces had melted a bit and the lens would noit close properly but otherwise the camera worked just fine...untill now that is. The camera works still but all the pictures are completely out of focuse. I have no idea when I'll be able to get a new one so these out off focuse pictures will just have to do all though I really would not want to show them to anyone.

So there was a really nice sketch to follow. I used a cute girl from the Back2School line from WoJ and coloured it with Promarkers. he papers are from my scrap drawer and I also added some flowers and a charm to decorate the card.

Thanks for looking and have fun crafting!

Ooops I did it again...Stamp with Fun #115 DT card

2011-06-14T18:49:00.000+03:00

I know, I know...I'm late again...and skipped last week alltogether and completely. To give you an excuse I've just been so busy at work, how annoying when your real life gets in the way LOL. Well anyway there's a new challenge at Stamp with Fun again. This week the theme was pearls and flowers. I only have one flower in my card (the one in the girls hand) but I think that's enough.

So the gorgeous image is from WoJ's new Back2School line, all avalable now as separate stamps. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and decided again to use papers from my scrap drawer, so here I have papers from MME, Basic grey and Pink Paislee I think. Those lovely pearl brads are from the WoJ store of course.

Now I'm off again! Have fun stamping!

Stamp with Fun #113 DT card

2011-05-30T22:11:00.000+03:00

Hello and good morning! Here I am today...and guess what, this post is up the right day LOL...with my card for Stamp with Fun. This week we have a lovely theme for you. The theme is In the Garden. So I guess there will be a lot of flowery images and embellishments this week.

I did my card with WoJ's cute I am Sorry Gnome by Norma Fickel. I have coloured my image with Promarkers as always and have finally dug into my Webster's Pages paper pad. I just love that background dp. The tag die, border die and sentiment are all also from the WoJ store together with the image. That old piece of lace is from my stash and it really is a vintage element as it is really old...believe me when I say so.

Now go on and have fun stamping and making your own garden projects!

Stamp with Fun #112 DT card

2011-05-24T10:02:00.000+03:00

Ooops! I did it again.

It's already tuesday and still I was without my SWF post...but hey here it is quick and sweet LOL.

So this weeks challenge is to follow a great sketch again. I had so much fun making this card and I guess no one would even know if I did not tell you it here straight away that the papers are again from my scrap drawer... and some of them are even xmas papers.

I also think I found my new favourite among EB stamps...this cutie is from Whiff of Joy's new stamp kit. All the kits have shipped out but don't worry if you did not preorder the kit as all the images will be released separately on the 1st of June. I did my colouring with Promarkers and added a sentiment, button twine and pearl brads to the mix. All my embellishments were from the WoJ store.

Thanks for looking and have a great day you all!

Stamp with Fun #111 DT card

2011-05-17T14:16:00.000+03:00

Oooops! I should have posted this card yesterday but completely forgot about it....there's no other excuse. But anyway there's a new challenge at Stamp with Fun with the theme of green and pink.

I have used these cute swans from WoJ as my image and coloured them only slightly with my Promarkers. The papers are from MME and October Afternoon. The lace is from my stash and the button twine, brads and sentiment are all from WoJ. How great it is that you can get so much gorgeous stuff from the WoJ store.

Stamp with Fun #110 DT card

2011-05-09T12:18:00.000+03:00

Hello all! It's time to start this week withre yet another Stamp with Fun challenge. This week we have again a great sketch for you to follow.

I got my dt package from WoJ and just had to play with this lovely stamp right away. It's called Friends forever - Nora and Ben. I actually spent hours colouring and cutting the image...I'm really pleased with the end result, but I guess I could have skipped the cutting part by colouring the background and the image at the same time. Those gorgeous papers are from WoJ's spring paperkit...and the lovely sentiment is also from WoJ.

Thanks for looking!

If you want to know what I was up to yesterday you should check out the WoJ TUIN blog for my latest tutorial.

I have made my card using WoJ's cute Puff-Heart dragon as my image and coloured it with Promarkers. I found the papers from my scrap drawer...still trying to use up all the scrap left from other projects. The papers are from October Afternoon and WoJ. I went a bit mad with all the flowers but I guess one can't have too many flowers can they...

Thanks for looking!

Stamp with Fun #107 DT card

2011-04-19T21:01:00.000+03:00

Aaaargh! I'm so sorry I'm a day late with this post...but I was having some difficulties with my computer yesterday. Well anyway there is a new challenge again Stamp with Fun. This week the challenge is an easy one...just make a birthday card.

I made my card with one of WoJ's new digistamps...here is Prima Ballerina Nora. The sentiment is also from WoJ as is the die I have cut it with... and the gorgeous butterfly die too. The papers are a mixture of WoJ and MME, just some scraps I found from my table.

No go on and have fun stamping!

ps. I did something I had sworn I would never do...registered to facebook LOL. I'm taking it slowly though, don't even have my picture on my profile yet.

Stamp with Fun #106 DT card

2011-04-11T18:12:00.000+03:00

Hello all! It's time to Stamp with Fun. This week there is a great sketch to follow.

I have done my card using one of Whiff of Joy's new digi stamps, this is Sweet Nora and you can get it also ready coloured... I did the colouring the old-fashioned way with my Promarkers. I've been trying to use out my scrap papers that I didn't even dare to throw away in the move. So the striped one is from MME and the flower paper is from Basic Grey. I added lots of flowers and a small tag cut with a new die from WoJ. So I guess that was all for now.

I'm going to a craft sale this weekend and I have lots to do before it is saturday...too bad that I don't really have any time to do anything new, with work and all. Well maybe I don't need to sleep that much LOL.

Have fun stamping!

Stamp with Fun #105 DT card

2011-04-04T19:34:00.001+03:00

Hello everyone! It's time to Stamp with Fun and this week the theme is Easter.

I made my card using WoJ's cute Mother and child by Norma Fickel and my card is simple and more versatile than just an easter card as I didn't put on a sentiment that says easter. The gorgeous border is done with a new WoJ border die... you should go check out all the gorgeous new stuff there is available again from the WoJ store. This months stamps are released as digis so you don't even have to wait to get started with your new stamps YAY!

I haven't been able to do much crafting lately due to our move and with all the packing and unpacking...I was actually at work during our real move in day and wasn't able to check what my husband and his friend were up to...this resulted in the fact that I still don't know where most of my stuff is. I had actually moved most of my carfting goodies prior to the move in day and even unpacked them, but our little movers were clever...NOT...enough to put all the other boxes in front of my desk so that I can't get to my crafting table now without clearing all that other stuff out first...and it's such a tidious work I've been puttting it off as long as I can. But I guess there will be light at the end of the tunnel soon and there will be more stuff for you guys to see here at my blog.

Untill then...now go stamp something with fun!

My new tut at WoJ TUIN blog

2011-03-31T20:44:00.000+03:00

Hello everyone... finally I have been able to do something carfty and in this case a bit artsy. My new tutorial can be seen at the Whiff of Joy Tutorial and inspiration blog.

See you there!

ps.If you were wondering why I have been so quiet it's just that we have finally been able to move to our new house and the move was quite a big ordeal. Most of my stuff is still in boxes so I'll do what I can with what little supplies I can find LOL.

Stamp with Fun #103 DT card

2011-03-21T21:57:00.000+02:00

Hi everyone! I am here to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun...the theme is spring.

Stamp with Fun #102 DT card

2011-03-14T20:01:00.002+02:00

Hi all and good evening...sorry for being so late with this post though. I ment to schedule this one last night but I was so tired I feel asleep on the couch LOL...and of course I didn't have time to do it today in the morning. But anyway here I am and I want to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. We have a great sketch again for you guys to follow.

I stretched the limits of the sketch again and went over the borders of my cardbase...it gives the card a whimsical look I think. My image is one of my new favourites, an adorable gnome by Norma Fickel from Whiff of Joy. The papers are a mixture of WoJ and MME and I have attached a tag with a piece of button twine available at the WoJ store.

I'm also entering this one to a challenge for a change...the challenge at Wild Orchid Challenges was to use punches or die cuts...and I have used a border die from WoJ on my card...and of course some gorgeous flowers from WOC.

Ok now I need to dash off again. Thanks for looking and have fun stamping!

Stamp with Fun #101 DT card

2011-03-07T06:41:00.002+02:00

Good morning everyone! It's time to kick start this week with a new Stamp with Fun challenge...and this weeks theme is monochrome blue.

I made my card with WoJ's cute Birthday gnome. I have done the colouring with Promarkers as I always do and chose some papers from my WoJ and MME paper pads.The gorgeous borders are done with a WoJ border die and so is the snowflake I have attached to the card with a piece of button twine also available at the WoJ store.

I actually combined this card with the current challenge at the WoJ challenge blog which is blooms and buttons...you should go check that out too.

Have fun stamping!

2011-03-01T21:42:00.001+02:00

Good evening people! Today's the day we've all been waiting for...these+3 cute gnomes by Norma Fickel are now ready for ordering. And that's not all...the stamps from the secret spring stamp kit are now on sale as single stamps. I'm so jealous to all of you that have gotten your secret kits as mine got lost in the mail.

Well anyway I think these stunning gnomes make up a bit of the dissappointment. I've been kind of tired of making cards these past few weeks but not really tired of staming and colouring...so here's what resulted from that tiredness...simple small cards all about the image. I think I'll be making these as long as I get my cardmaking mojo back and when I do I'll have the image parts ready LOL.

We've been busy building our own dream house and soon it's going to be ready. I'll have my own crafting room upstairs and I'm so excited about that. These image cards also would look gorgeous framed and made into small paintings. I guess I'll make a few atleast for my daughters room.

Thanks for looking and listening to my rambling LOL!

Stamp with Fun #100 DT card

2011-02-28T10:39:00.000+02:00

Hello and what a great day it is! The sun is shining and the weather is just perfect for some fun in the snow...but I had something more sunny in my mind when I made this card. It's time to Stamp with Fun again and we have a great sketch for you to follow.

So isn't Nora cute in her spring dress and those birds look like they are full of joy...I sure did have fun colouring this image from WoJ's February release. The papers, button twine and swirl are also from WoJ.

Ok now, go on and have fun stamping!

Whiff of Joy DT...I am sorry

2011-02-25T22:22:00.000+02:00

I think I have found my new favourite stamp...! This cute little fellow from WoJ's upcoming March release (only a few days until you can order yours) is just so adorable. I loved colouring this image and wanted to make a simple card with it, just chose a gorgeous dp from MME's Penny Lane glitter stack and added a sentiment and some lovely button twine...also available at the WoJ store.

Thanks for looking!

Whiff of Joy DT...Happy Birthday gnome

2011-02-24T17:23:00.000+02:00

Hello, hello! Sorry for being so quiet here on my blog but I've been too busy in real life with work and other stuff. Today I'm home...had the day off and my daughter has a high fever so w had to saty in all day...which ment I had some time to do some crafting. This cute little fellow is a part of Whiff of Joy's new March release. Norma Fickel has drawn several gorgeous images for all of us to marvel and get creative with.

I guess if you wish to see most of the stamps already you should check out Katharina's blog as she has been busy crafting and showing previews of the new release.

There's also a great challenge at the WoJ challenge blog...the theme there is paper piecing. I wanted to try some paper piecing myself when I saw all the stunning cards there. I have cut the hat and trousers from that striped background dp and coloured he rest of the image with Promarkers. The papers are from MME. The WoJ shop has also some gorgeous button twine for sale and I have used a piece of it on this card, left it hanging quite loosely and added a charm to the end.

Thanks for looking!

Stamp with Fun #99 DT card

2011-02-21T09:43:00.000+02:00

Hello and good morning! The sun is shining so brightly today...if only it wouldn't be so cold outside. Well anyway it's now time to Stamp with Fun again. This week we have a recipe to follow and it goes as follows...3 papers, 3 flowers and one ribbon.

So here is my card. I have a cute Kneeling Willow as my image from WoJ's spring release from 2009. I have coloured my image with Promarkers and the papers are a mixture of scraps I had on my crafting table (DCWV and Papwermania). My card is so simple I kind of think it needs something more...but I couldn't decide what I wanted to add so here it is simple as the recipe stated.

Have fun stamping and thanks for looking!

Hello everyone...boy did that last week flow by so fast! well anyway it's time to set again another Stamp with Fun challenge and again we have a great sketch for you to follow.

I decided to do someything different for a change and chose an image my husband liked...I guess you can see why LOL...so here is Carmen Electrafying from KennyK. He was a bit silly afterwards and said was I really sure that this card would be ok to be shown on my blog as the image was a bit...well he's a man and men think what they think. I just thought that the image was gorgeous as it is something different from all the girlie cute images I usually use and I just love KennyK for drawing something unique and different (here's the man factor again LOL).

I did the colouring with Promarkers and used whatever leftover dp scraps I had on my table. I went over all the edges with white distress crackle paint and added a hint of distress ink for the worn down look. The amazing sentiment is from WoJ and I have attached it with clasp from Tim Holtz.

Have fun stamping and thanks for looking!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Stamp with Fun #92 DT card

2011-01-03T09:01:00.000+02:00

Hi all! Now it's time to Stamp with Fun. We'll start this new year with a great sketch.

I chose cute little nurse Willow as my image as I had not inked her up in a while and as I remembered how much I used toenjoy colouring this image. This image sure is a pleasure to colour. I used a limited amount of embellishments and only added a strip of flags to the upper right hand corner. I have stamped the flags with a Stempelglede grunge flower stamp and added some white with a gel pen. The image, flag die and sentiment are all from Whiff of Joy.

Have fun stamping you all!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #44 DT card...Glitter it up!

2011-01-03T06:00:00.002+02:00

Hello and welcome to 2011's first Karen's Doodles Challenge. We'll start with a great theme...it's glitter, so Glitter it up!

I was crafting with my daughter (hence the Hello Kitty in the picture). This little elephant is so cute, but sadly the picture does not do it justice. The glittery paper is from MME and I have also added glitter to the heart shaped balloon. I'm not happy with the colouring at all though, but this had to do as I wasn't able start all over again...and anyway we had fun doing something together so it doesn't really matter what the end result looks like.

Now go on and start crafting. Have fun with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT

2011-01-02T12:25:00.001+02:00

First of all I'd like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year! I wish all the best to all of my crafting buddies where ever you may be...and to all the new people I'll get to know this coming year.

In the name of celebration I made the following card. I wish I could have shown you something with WoJ's new stamps and dies that were released yesterday, but my dt package has not arrived yet. Well if you want to see them go straight to the shop or check out Katharina's blog for some inspiration.

So this is Ben drawn by talented Alison Acton. He was a part of WoJ's December release and perfect for New Years celebration cards.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Stamp with Fun #90 DT card

2010-12-20T09:01:00.002+02:00

Hi again! I guess you know what time it is now...time to Stamp with Fun. This week we have yet again a great sketch for you to follow.

I went with an older WoJ stamp in my card...this is Charlotte, drawn by talented Alison Acton. Can you believe me when I say I had coloured this image actually for last xmas but never got around to making a card out of it? I sometimes colour images in a row which is good for those times when you need to whip up a card in next to no time. The papers are from Papermania and just had to use that gorgeous lace again.

Thanks for looking and have fun stamping!

I have made my card with a cute gnome drawn by Norma Fickel, this is Wee with reindeer and you saw her at Pop's blog earlier. The image is so gorgeous and lovely I think it needs to be shown twice on this hop LOL (well actually it was a big coincidence really)

I have coloured the image with a combination of promarkers and watercolours. The papers are from Papermania. I got some pretty gorgeous red berries embellisments from Magali, she has had to step down from the WoJ DT but sent me the embellishments to be used in my card for this hop.

I actually sent some lace and linen string to lovely Jane and your next step on this bloghop is to visit her blog. So hop on over to Jane's blog to see what she has come up with.

Have fun hopping!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #41...silver and gold

2010-12-13T06:01:00.002+02:00

Hi everyone! It's yet again time to set another Karen's Doodles Challenge. This weeks theme is silver and gold.

I have Bigsby as my image and he's holding a huge xmas present. I didn't really colour the image at all, just added a bit of silver and white gel pen... and there are gold accents in the dp's even though you might not see them in the pictures.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Stamp with Fun #88 DT card

2010-12-06T09:35:00.002+02:00

Hi again! I'm here now to show you this cute card I made for Stamp with Fun. We have again a great sketch for you to follow.

I'm not sure I should even tell you but believe me when I say I have had this WoJ image from 2008 for a while but have never inked it before. Bad, bad me 'cause the image is gorgeous. The papers in my card are from Papermania and I have used my Dymo writer again for the sentiment as I had in my earlier card today.

Thanks for looking and have fun stamping!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #40 DT card...Christmas

2010-12-06T06:01:00.000+02:00

Hello all! Hope you had fun last week with our blog hop...anyway it's again time to set a new Karen's Doodles challenge. We'd like to start December with an easy one... the theme is simply Christmas.

I have made my card using Bigsby swinging... isn't he the cutest little mouse ever. I have done the colouring with Promarkers and the papers are from Papermania. A big chunky piece of lace sort of crowns the creation and I have also discovered my Dymo tape writer and made a sentiment with that.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Hello! Phew have I been busy...sadly though not with anything crafting related. I was meaning to show you this cutie yesterday but life got in the way...and the fact that I'm again struggling to get my creations photographed...so sorry for all the dodgy photos from here on 'till next spring LOL.

Yesterday was the release day of some new goodies from WoJ. This hansom little fellow is called Ben and the sentiment circle is also from WoJ. I have stamped the image onto kraft cardstock and I think I have managed to make a cool little masculine card even with the flowers.

Thanks for looking!

Have you met Nora and Ben yet? I guess you have atleast seen them if you have been tuning on to some Whiff of Joy news as these cuties are to be released on Dec 1st.

These weeks before Christmas are a really busy time for me always so if I'm not around here much I'm propably at work or at some craft show selling my products...or making something new to sell. Just today I was at a local market place...and needless to say I can now again feed my habit of purchasing some new crafting goods. I mainly sell jewellery and also cards (but I never make my cards to be sold if you understand what I mean).

Thanks for looking!

Stamp with Fun #86 DT card

2010-11-22T09:07:00.000+02:00

It's me again. Now it's time to talk about the challneg at Stamp with Fun. This week we have a great sketch to follow.

Wait...I'm being a bit bad here as I shouldn't really show you this one yet. The cute image is a part of WoJ's December release, Allison Acton sure did a great job again drawing some cute images for WoJ. I have done the colouring with Promarkers and used some scraps of dp I had laying around for this card...and lots fo flowers of course.

Have fun stamping my friends!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #38 DT card

2010-11-22T06:53:00.002+02:00

Hello! Phew, where did last week go? I had lots of things planned and would have wanted to show you guys something here on my blog also but suddenly a week has flown by and I have managed to follow through none of those things. Well anyway it's time to start this week with a new Karen's Doodles challenge...and this one really is a CHALLENGE as we'd like to see you use more than one KD image in your card.

I did some merging (Hahaa, sounds a lot fancier than it really is) in Photoshop and added a background to my sitting turkey. You don't really have to do it this way, you can use separate images also. I left out all dp's and doodles onto the kraft cardstock with my white gell pen. The phrase goes along the lines "Oh, so does the time fly, another year has passed and here we are still. And what a blast it was." . I think this one turned out allright, I think I like this card alot.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Stamp with Fun #85 DT card

2010-11-15T19:50:00.000+02:00

Hi...it's me again LOL! It's now time to tell you about our new Stamp with Fun challenge. The theme this week is Square...so square cards and somewhat square elements it is.

I used in my card propably my all time favourite WoJ stamp, this cutie is called Mother and child. Yesterday was fathers day here in Finland so this kind of fits that mood also, too bad that there isn't a stamp called Father and child. I think that would also be a great hit, at least in my heart. As you can see I have again stamped my image onto kraft cardstock, the colouring is done with Promarkers. I went for something really simple (layoutwise I mean) with this card and as embellishments I chose some cute girlie flowers again.

Ok, now I'm off to see what my darling daughter is upto, I hope nothing bad LOL.

Have fun stamping!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #37 DT project...make a gift box

2010-11-15T19:25:00.000+02:00

Hello, hello...and sorry for being so late with my posts today! I've been having some computer problems, but anyway all that is resolved now. Let's get quickly to business...this week the challenge at Karen's Doodles is to make a gift box.

I sure did go where the fence is the lowest and just decorated one, but I quess that is just alright. I also took a bit of a break from all things related to christmas and used A pressent for mom as my image, did the colouring with promarkers and applied some UTEE to make cracked glass effect on it. The border around the image is done with a MS corner punch and the paper is from MME. All that was left to do was to add lots of flowers...and voila my box was ready.

Now it's your turn to start carfting with your KD images.

Stamp with Fun #84 DT card

2010-11-08T09:26:00.000+02:00

Here we are again! Now it's time for me to tell you about our challenge at Stamp with Fun. We have a great sketch to play with this week.

You may have noticfed that I use my WoJ goodies on my Dt cards for Stamp with Fun...there's really no other reason for it than that I just love using them LOL. So the image is one of the newly released EB angels and I have coloured it with Promarkers. I have also used three different WoJ dies on this card. The snowflakes I cut out of brown dp and covered with distress crackle paint and the swirl is cut from white cardstock and then added a hint of ink to the edges. The last (but not least) is the City Girl shape die.

...and the sentiment and dp's are also from WoJ of course.

I think that was it for now. Have fun stamping you guys!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #36 DT card...black and white Christmas

2010-11-08T09:02:00.000+02:00

Hello, let's start this week off with a new Karen's Doodles challenge. This weeks theme is black and white Christmas...but no worries if this sounds a bit too hard, you are allowed to use some colour on your image.

...I wanted to be strict with the theme and coloured my image using only grey tones. My image is Bigsby Wreath and I have cut it out and attached to the base with foam pads...and see no dp's, just black and white cardstock.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT

2010-11-05T19:58:00.000+02:00

Hey Ho Hallelujah! Happy Friday everyone! Just wanted to quickly share with you this little cutie. I just love this Angel playing the trumpet image from Whiff of Joy... and that new Romantic swirls die is the best. There's also a new challenge at the WoJ challenge blog and the theme is really easy...Christmas.

Not really much to say about my card...I have done the colouring with Promarkers and the papers are from MME. The angel is also raised with foam tape...so the angel is sort of in flight LOL...and lots of layers of cardstock piled together.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend you all!

Stamp with Fun #83 DT card...and some WoJ news

2010-11-01T10:10:00.000+02:00

Hi again! Now I'm here to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. This time we want to see things that fly or have wings.

As today is also the release day of some cute new stamps from WoJ I wanted to use one of them in my card. I have stamped the angel (drawn by talented Elisabeth Bell) with brown ink and cut out and then attached to the inked base with foam pads. The dp's are from MME and I have used lots of embellishments on my card. WoJ's new release also includes some pretty gorgeous new dies...and I have used two of them in this card, the mistletoe leaves and the swirls. The tag with the sentiment is also from WoJ. You should go check out the whole release at the store and get your order in as I'm sure these new stamps and dies will be a hit.

Ok now I'll let you start carfting and maybe do some shopping LOL!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #35...Give Thanks

2010-11-01T09:52:00.000+02:00

Hello and happy monday! It's time to start this new week with a challenge... a Karen's Doodles Challenge I mean. This week wour theme is...Give Thanks. This can be Thanksgiving, a thank you card or what you are thankful for, you decide.

I decided to use Fall as my image and printed it onto some kraft cardstock and coloured with Promarkers. The papers are all from MME. I have raised my image with foam pads to give the card more dimension.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT...preview no.2

2010-10-28T21:30:00.000+03:00

Hi there! I'm here only to quickly share with you this one card I made... with a little preview of Whiff of Joy's new November release. The preview doesn't really regard the images though, those are included in the October STORE stamp kit - Let us adore him that Katharina kindly has offered for sale also via WoJ store this time. So the sneak peak is really about a new leaf/branch die. I really do love all the dies that WoJ has to offer.

I was aiming for a masculine card but after adding those flowers... well the card turned out a bit more feminine again.

See you later again!

Whiff of Joy DT...November release preview no.1

2010-10-26T20:36:00.000+03:00

Woooohoooo! It's that time again...time to start showing some previews of Whiff of Joy's new November release. These new angel stamps by Elisabeth Bell are to die for (this one is just 1st of three cute angels)

... but that's only half of the exciting new release. Notice the snowflake and swirls on my card, those are done with new metal dies from Whiff of Joy. The only sad thing is you have to wait until 1st of next month to get your order in. In the meantime us on the DT will just have to tease you guys a bit more, so stay tuned for some more previews in the upcoming days.

If you were wondering how I have put my card together, I just piled on some brown and kraft cardstock and dp's (the one with snowflakes is from WoJ and the dotted one from MME) and added a nice chunky piece of linen lace. I cut the snowflakes from kraft cardstock and covered them with distress crackle paint (one of my new "toys"). The image is also raised from the background with some 3D pads.

See you later!

Stamp with Fun #82 DT card

2010-10-25T09:22:00.002+03:00

It's Stamp with Fun time now! This week we have again a great sketch for you to follow.

I have used this cuter than ever seal from Whiff of Joy as my image. I have stamped it onto some kraft cardstock and then coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from MME and I have decorated my card with some flowers and a sentiment form WoJ.

Have fun stamping!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #34...All sewn up!

2010-10-25T06:01:00.002+03:00

Hello and happy monday! let us start this week agian with a Karen's Doodles Challenge. This weeks theme is sewing...All sewn up one might say!

I went searching for an image that would fit the theme perfectly and found this cute Love at first sight image that is actually my favourite KD image (had just forgotten it.. bad, bad me LOL). The bear in the image is clearly stitched together so I think that alone should cover the theme...I did some faux stitches with white pen too. The ginger bread men paper and the one with the penguins are both from WoJ's Winter Pretties paper pad, so are the sentiment, tag and shape die.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT

2010-10-24T21:20:00.000+03:00

Good evening people! I know it's late on sunday but I just wanted to share this one card with you. This card features WoJ's A-moosing Christmas, a Citygirl shape die and a sentiment from the Season's Greetings set. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and added distress ink to the paper edges...which means my card fits the current challenge at WoJ challenge where the theme was distressing.

...oh and the midnight blue background paper with the cute mice angels on it is from WoJ also.

Thanks for looking...come back soon LOL!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #33 and Oldies but Goodies thursday

2010-10-21T12:24:00.000+03:00

Hello hello! It's thursday and Oldies but Goodies thursday at Karen's Doodles. I also wanted to remind you of our Distress it challenge. Come join us in the distressing fun.

My card features one of Karen's older images (hence the Odlies but Goodies theme) and is coloured with Promarkers. The background dp is DCWV and the pennant die and sentiments are from WOJ.

I think I'll go to bed again now as I'm feeling really sick at the moment... nothing more serious than the flu though so no worries, I'm hoping to be well again soon.

Have fun with your KD images!

Stamp with Fun #81 DT card

2010-10-18T21:05:00.001+03:00

Hello and happy monday! It's time to start another week with a new Stamp with Fun challenge. This week we have halloween as our theme.

Of course I had to use my cute little witch stamp from WoJ for this card. I have coloured the image with Promarkers as always and the papers are from Basic Grey for a change. I have raised the image and striped background with a heart lace border with some foam pads to give my card a bit of dimension...and I think that was all now.

Have fun crafting!

Hello again! Now let's talk about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. This time we have again a lovely sketch to follow.

I made my card again with a cute bird from Whiff of Joy. The image is stamped onto some kraft cardstock and then coloured with Promarkers. The papers are all from MME. I've added lots of flowers as embellishment and a swirl cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die.

This was a bit short again but have to dash off to some other engagements LOL. Have fun crafting!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #32 DT card...recipe

2010-10-11T09:24:00.001+03:00

Hello and happy monday! It's time to start this week with a Karen's Doodles Challenge and this week we have a recipe for you...here it goes: atleast 3 embellishments, 2 papers and 1 image.

I did my embellishments in multiples, 3x3 flowers and three different types of embellishments. The image is cute Apple Harvest and I have coloured it with Promarkers. The papers are from Basic Grey and MME.

Ok now, have fun with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT...some winter fun

2010-10-09T23:46:00.002+03:00

Hello strangers! I know, I know...it's me that has been the stranger really, but time has flown by really fast and I have been down with the flu again. Just like me to be sick when I have some time off work and have planned to get some serious crafting done LOL. Well anyway I have managed to do something and here it is...a card done following Jane's lovely sketch at WoJ Challenge.

I have these cute little penguins as my image and I have stamped them onto some kraft cardstock and coloured with Promarkers. The papers in my card are...guess what...all from different manufactures, MME, DCWV, OA and CC (there's a lot off acronyms for you). I have also used the City Girl shape die and the Fancy Shape die plus the sentiment is from the Seasons Greetings stamp set.

Hope to see you later!

Whiff of Joy DT

2010-10-06T15:30:00.000+03:00

Hello all! I just wanted to share with you today this one card I made the other day. It features one of WoJ's new bird stamps, Bird with Christmas bauble. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and have to say I wasn't pleased at all with my colouring but when I found these papers from my MME Penny Lane glitter paper pad it kind of made the colouring look ok. Well I have to say I now kind of like this card a lot as simple as it is.

The sentiment is also from WoJ, from the new Season's Greetings sentiment set...and the base for the sentiment is done with a stamp and coordinating die from the City Girl collection.

I think that was all for now. See you later!

Stamp with Fun #79 DT card

2010-10-04T09:27:00.000+03:00

Here we are again and now it's time to set another Stamp with Fun challenge. This weeks theme is RAIN.

I think I have about two images that fit this theme perfectly and I just had to use this Willow with Umbrella from WoJ as it is one of my all time favourite images. The colouring has been done with Promarkers and I'm really happy at how it turned out doing first all the grey tones and the adding a bit of colour. These gorgeous paper are from Cosmo Cricket as in my KD card today and the sentiment cut with Citygirl die is from WoJ.

Have fun stamping!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #31 DT card

2010-10-04T09:07:00.000+03:00

Monday, monday! That tune from don't remember where keeps ringing in my head... well anyway it's time to start this week with a new Karen's Doodles Challenge. This week we have a theme of Halloween and Fall as not everyone celebrates Halloween (me included).

I think my creation fits both depending on what you write inside the card as my image choice for this week was Scarecrow Girl. I have done the colouring with Promarkers and finally have started to use my new (had this pad for a while) Cosmo Cricket papers. The layout of my card is really simple and I'm really happy with the end result except for the embellishment pile on the upper right corner. I'll leave you now to let you start crafting.

Have fun crafting with your KD images!

Whiff of Joy DT...for you

2010-09-29T23:24:00.000+03:00

Hello all! Been busy again...sadly with nothing craft related really, but here's a cute card I made the other day featuring one of Whiff of Joy's new stamps (released on the 1st of october). The papers are also from WoJ, how cool is that!

Thanks for looking, see you later!

Stamp with Fun #78 DT card and some news from WoJ

2010-09-27T09:01:00.002+03:00

Hello again...again! Now it's time to set our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. We have a lovely sketch for you to follow.

I bet you haven't seen this gorgeous image before...well I guess you might have as it's no longer a secret that this one is part of WoJ's new October 1st release...Wooohooo! Gorgeous new products are again waiting to be released on the 1st of next month and us on the WoJ DT will be sharing them with you as sneak peaks. So I can tell you that there are some pretty great stuff coming...and this cute moose is only one of 5 new stamps...and there are two great sentiment collections and dies to come also. I bet you are itching to get your hands on these goodies.

So I guess there's a bit of everything in my card. The image and sentiment are from WoJ as I said and the dp's re from Basic Grey, thought I should use up some xmas papers I had left from last year. So I came up with this bright and cheerfully coloured card...like it a lot!

Ok, should stop babbling...but I'm just so excited about WoJ's new release. Should let you start crafting...off you go now. Have fun crafting!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #30 DT card

2010-09-27T06:01:00.003+03:00

Happy monday! It's time again to start a new week with a new Karen's Doodles Challenge...and this week we'd like to see something in multiples as the theme is seven of something!

I went with this cute Snowangel image and made a winter themed card again. I have doen the colouring with Promarkers as always and the dp is from MME. The sentiments are WoJ stamps and cut with a coordinating metal die also available from WoJ (released on Oct. 1st). As you can see my lucky seven were flowers.

Have fun with your KD images...and don't forget to add seven of something!

Whiff of Joy DT

2010-09-24T13:17:00.000+03:00

Hello all! Boy have I been busy lately, have to sort of apologize not being around in the blogland for a while...and I've been down with the flu for ages but as I'm one of those people who just can't go to the doctor and ask for sickleave unless I'm death sick this flu will propably stick with me for a while still.

But hey, here's something I managed to put together the other day before going to work. I felt instantly better at the sight of this creation. Love these pastel glittery papers from MME and DCWV...and Henry is of course cute as ever in his reindeer pullover. Had to use again that pennant die from WoJ also, I seem to stick it everywhere I can.

I also found a few challenges for this card:

A Spoonfull of Sugar had the theme of "Anything Goes"

Papertake Weekly wanted to see some animals

Have a great weekend you all!

Stamp with Fun #77 DT card

2010-09-20T09:01:00.001+03:00

Hello again! This time I'm here to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. This week our theme is stuffed animals and I went searching for an image and found this cute Rachelle Anne Miller image that was actually one of my first stamps. It has been almost a year and a half since I last have inked this cutie up.

I instantly knew I wanted to stamp this little mouse onto kraft cardstock which I had never done...and this is also the first time I've ever coloured this image with Promarkers. So a lot of first times with this old stamp. The papers are from DCWV's Linen Closet stack and the pennants are cut with a metal die from WoJ. Lots of flowers again add to the romantic feel.

So I guess that was it for my card. Have fun crafting!

Stamp with Fun #76 DT card

Aaargh! Sometimes I just hate mondays... no not really, but blogger was just playing tricks on me again as I had scheduled this post for earlier today. Somehow that scheduled post has gone missing completely. Well anyway here's my DT card for Stamp with Fun. We had a lovely sketch again to follow.

I have stamped WoJ's cute Sammy with Licorice onto kraft cardstock and coloured the image with Promarkers. The papers I have used are a mixture of MME and OA and behind the image I have put a tag cut with WoJ's Magical Tag metal die. I like this cute preppy card a lot.

Now it's your turn to stamp with fun. Have fun crafting!

Karen's Doodles Challenge #28 DT card

2010-09-13T06:01:00.002+03:00

Hello and happy monday! It's time to set another Karen's Doodles challenge. This week we'd like to see you make a certain type of card...a criss cross card that is. For further info go to the challenge blog.

I wanted to make my card out of one piece of cardstock and that determined my measurements leaving me with a 10x15cm card. This actually fitted my Ollie the Ostrich image perfectly. The papers are from MME and DCWV. The sentiment is from WoJ and the tag is also cut with a metal die from WoJ.

I'll let you start making your criss cross cards now. Have fun with your KD images!

Hi again! Here's my second post for today and this time I'm here to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. This week we have a great challenge in store as the theme is weddings.

I created my couple from WoJ's stamps from the Wedding and baby collection and did the colouring with Promarkers. The papers are from MME and Papermania. I just had to add lots of flowers to add to the romantic feel. I have also used one of WoJ's new dies on the upper right corner. The Pennants die has been a succes and is actually out of stock at the moment but there will be restocks later in the week so keep on checking the shop if you want to get your order in.

Ok now I´m off again. Have fun crafting!

Happy sunday evening! The weekend is almost over and another busy week is starting tomorrow, but I have here one card I'd like to share with you. I made a Christmas scene with all the stamps from Whiff of Joy's new stamp kit that is ready for pre-order at the moment. I have masked the images together and did the colouring with Promarkers...and see, NO dp's. I have used brown and kraft cardstock instead. Hope you like this one.

Stamp with Fun #74 DT card

2010-08-30T19:25:00.001+03:00

Hi again! Now I want to tell you about our new challenge at Stamp with Fun. Saphira has prepared a great sketch for us to follow.

I know I have already showed you this little darling from Whiff of Joy´s upcoming Sept. 1st release but this image was waiting ready coloured on my desk and just pleading to be used in a card. So here is Betty again with her candycane. And I even used my beloved brown ink this time and I think brown suits Betty and my Promarker colouring better. The papers are from DCWV and that lovely senmtiment is also from WoJ.

If you haven´t yet taken part in my WoJ candy draw you might want to go check that one out (open until Sept. 1st midnight).

Have fun stamping and crafting!

Karen´s Doodles Challenge #26 DT project...bookmark

2010-08-30T19:09:00.000+03:00

Hello all, what a great week we have ahead of us! I´ll start this week with my simple bookmark for Karen´s Doodles Challenge. And that´s exactly what our theme is... Bookmarks.

I made this one for my husband and what better image could I have used than Mr. Fix-it Car. I have coloured my image with Promarkers and paired some white and kraft cardstock with a dp from October Afternoon.

Let´s get carfting! Just remember to use your KD images.

WoJ Christmas stamp release sneak peek no.3...little happy witch

2010-08-28T21:04:00.002+03:00

Hello, hello! Today I want to show you something a bit different...not that I´m bored already with Christmas images, no way! I just thought it would be nice to show this cute little witchie from WoJ´s Sept. 1st release. So here she is, little Willow turned into a cute witch.

I really love this little witch. We don´t really even celebrate Halloween here in Finland but I think I´m going to make several cards with is image nontheless.

I know I complained about my black ink yesterday but for this image and my colouring it has worked quite well. I coloured the image with promarkers as always and did some layering (sort of my trademark at the moment) with kraft and white cardstock. The dp´s are from October Afternoon and Basic Grey.

Today is my birthday...nothing fancy or interesting planned, am just going to watch some TV with my husband and eat some goodies, just need to get our daughter to bed and then we can relax. My husband was being a real darling and had made me some dessert, some sort of pie with mixed berries. There was just one problem, he had forgotten to add eggs to the topping so the pie wouldn´t set...well it tasted great so who cares if it was a bit messy to eat LOL.

Ok, now I´m going to go see what kind of a mess my two darlings have managed to make...I´ve been hiding on the computer for too long. See you later!
