A Christmas Card!

Hello everyone, I have been away and have lots to catch up on! But first I have a Whiff of Joy card to share with you, it was my turn for Tuesday's 'Tag You're It' post and if you don't know about it, then head on over here and take a peek!

This cutie is WOJ's 'Henry Hugging a Christmas Bauble' and is coloured with Copics. The sentiment and number 15 is WOJ's 'This is December', tried to keep it simple and finished it off with a flower and leaves.

I love Alice's style and this is a great way to try something different, still don't think I mastered this style ;) But it was still fun to do! Thanks for stopping by.

WOJ - A Christmas Card!

Yes, I have made a Christmas card! I am wanting to start early this year so I can enjoy the process without having a mad rush to get them done in time to post across the world.

This is an older stamp but still love her, WOJ's 'From Heaven Above'.

Used up some older Christmas patterned Paper, think I need to go shopping for all my cards. Inked and stitched the edges of the paper, doily from my stash, the banner is WOJ's 'Christmas Banners' stamp set and matching WOJ Die-Light 'Cute Banner Trio'. Finished off with some twine, Wild Orchid flowers and some pearls.

Have you started making any Christmas cards yet? Thank you for stopping by.

WOJ - Preview 2

I am definitely getting into the Christmas spirit early with all these gorgeous Christmas images from WOJ. I have been playing this weekend with the images from WOJ's stamp kit, I have been colouring with Copics, getting messy with embossing powders and having lots of fun with all the Christmas goodies in my stash.

I used a kraft tag and stamped the WOJ snowflakes on the background and then heat embossed them with white sparkle embossing powder. I then blended some Vintage Photo distress ink over the whole tag. WOJ's Henry has been coloured with Copics, fussy cut and finished off with some distress stickles to his wings and a touch to his star.

I created a matching gift box for a special little person and I am going to pop her Christmas present into it, so much nicer than the box the shop gives you :)

A view from the side, simple but added lace and the doily to give it that soft delicate finish.

The Christmas tree die cut is WOJ's Christmas Tree Nested Die-Light and I finished my tag off with some WOJ Vintage Button Twine and WOJ charm Christmas Treasure.

Don't forget WOJ's Fall and Winter stamp kits will be available on the 11th in digi's. Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

Christmas Tags

I created some Christmas tags for my WOJ tutorial last month, you can see the full post here. These are perfect to add your personal touch but are quick and easy to create!

I made a couple with a variety of Christmas stamps, you can find the details here.

Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments.

WOJ Challenge #158

I am only a week late.....sorry for that but every time I sit down to finish this post, someone or something needs my attention :( You still have a week to enter this fabulous challenge!

So the challenge is 'Christmas in July' and here is my card using 'Christmas Henry Wrapped Up'. This cutie was part of the stamp kits from 2012 but you can still get him as a digi.

I coloured Henry with Copics and adhered him to some white Cardstock. Kept the design pretty simple and added some red washi tape, gold lace I found in my stash and finished it off with a tag and cluster of twine, a flower, leaves and a Christmas charm.

The charm is WOJ and so is the mini tag 'Sweet Tags with Hearts' and sentiment 'Christmas banners'.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you can join us at WOJ Challenges.
