Whiff of Joy CAS card

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you a CAS card I made with the gorgeous Feather stamps available at Whiff of Joy. I so love them. The sentiment is from the 'Birthday Phrases' set.

The photo isn't good as it is made few seconds before a thunderstorm, the light has gone so fast and no chance to make a good pic then.

Hugs, Karina

For you Tilda

Hello everyone, hope you had a wonderful weekend so far. We had wonderful Spring weather over here... warm and sunny, just how I love it.

Today I am showing you a Magnolia creation I recently made. I used 'For you Tilda' and colored her with Copics. Luckily I used my Copics for her and not the Distress Inks. As one of my cats bowled down a full glass of icetea standing on my desk!! Oh my, I really was shocked as I had several colored images just there where the tea spreading over my desk. Two of them were involved, and both colored with  Copics, so the colors didn't bleed... you can imagine how relieved I was. Otherways several hours of coloring would have been 'for the cat'... in the truest sense of the words... The paper got a bit crumpy, therefore I covered the image with some UTEE to give it a Vintage effect. Love how it turned out.

The background papers I used is from My Mind's Eye 'Heirloom'. I distressed the edges with 'Vintage Photo' Distress Ink. I used a hidden Magnolia DooHickey 'Bloomy Tag' and in the back of the card the Magnolia DooHickey 'Doily', a Heart Charm and some Flat Backed Pearls.

Below you can see a close up of the image...

 

And another close up of the butterflies... I used the Tim Holtz 'Butterflight' die for making them.

All those items are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.

I followed the theme from 'Lovely Hänglar Sweet Magnolia' 'Girl Only' and the Sketch from 'The Sketchy Challenges'...

With this card I want to join following challenges;

Tilda's Town - Flowers
Stamp and Create - Spring Flowers
Marvelous Magnolia - Let's see a Doily
Time for Magnolia - Flowers Everywhere
The Ribbon Girl - Girly
Simply Magnolia - Bingo (Pink, Die Cuts, Flowers)


Have a wonderful week.

But here I am... feeling better with the weekend in sight and so two days off. After we had weatherlike a wonderful, warm and sunny week with temperatures up to 20 degrees, they forecasted a comeback of winter over the weekend. But I am not unlucky about that as it means having time to craft... wohoo...

Whiff of Joy March Blog Hop

Welcome to the March Whiff of Joy Blog Hop!

If you didn't come here from FLATI's blog then head on over to the start of the hop at Whiff of Joy Blog. I don't want you to miss a single stop on this hop!

This month, the Whiff of Joy Design Team is celebrating their 'Favorite Things'. With so many amazing products in our collections, we decided it was time to do this type of hop. Each member has picked some of their very favorite Whiff of Joy products to showcase in their creations.

So, grab a cup of tea or coffee and get yourself cozy and comfortable to hop along to see our Favorite Things! A complete list of the hop can be found on the Whiff of Joy blog just in case you get lost along the way!

Below I show you my creation... well, it was really not easy to chose my favorite things as I have so many favorite products I just love to have a play with. I weren't able to combine them all in just one creation.

One of my favorite product is definitely the Heart Treat Box Die-Light. It is just great to make sweet little boxes as little give aways. But I also love it for making lovely easel cards, just like the one I show you today;

I also absolutely love the 'Simply Maya' images. One of my faves is 'Baking Fun'. The sentiments from the 'Kalorienreich' collection are perfect for this image. The ribbon I used here I have saved from a chocolat box from one of the most famous chocolatier here in Switzerland; 'Sprüngli'. I thought it's a perfect match to this project.

The coloration is made with Copics. The 'Cute Hearts Die-Light' is another favorite, I love to add it to my cards and projects. Here I glued a Cupcake charm from the Food Lovers 'Box of Charms' onto it. I love charms and use them on many of my projects. And I absolutely love the 'Rolled Scalopped Flowers Die-Light'. Those selfmade flowers are a perfect embellishing to so many projects. They look so lovely and elegant. I mostly add a little bead inside them.

Well, ready for more gorgeousness? Your next stop is COLLEEN's blog. 

Thank you so much for your visit. I hope you enjoy our hop and am able to get lots of inspirations. I am curious by myself to see what favorite things my teamies have.

Have a happy day!
Hugs, Karina
