Janette Olen's Willow with Hot Chocolate

It's time for another challenge on the 7 kids Challenge blog. This one I think is a pretty easy one so hopefully many of you will decide to participate. The challenge is to make a square card- any size as long as it is square. My card measures 5.5" X 5.5".



This is my first time using a Whiff of Joy image- can you believe it? They are just adorable and Elisabeth Bell is an amazing artist but so many stamps, so little time- know what I mean. I think I may be hooked though. I am excited as I am broadening my stamping horizons so to speak and you will be seeing me use many new companies in the future. There are so many wonderful stamps to choose from at 7 Kids College Fund I just couldn't resist.

I colored Willow with Hot Chocolate with my copics and used a clear spica glitter pen on the flowers of her pants and the mug. She was a fun image to color. I added roses to the bottom corner and pearls to the corners and in the scallops of the border punch. All of the edges were sewn with my sewing machine.

Whiff of Joy card by Tori Hemingway

Happy Tuesday! I am trying to stay warm today - it is super chilly in FL right now....Brrrr! It got down into the 20's overnight - very cold for this area, considering I live about 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean! I feel just like Willow - curled up in my comfy jeans and sweater with a hot cuppa cocoa, so I thought this was the perfect stamp to use!

I used the Willow with Hot Cocoa stamp from Whiff of Joy. I just bought this cute stack of DP from MME last week and have been itching to use it! The pink and green are so great together. The snowflake embossing folder is by CB. The image and sentiment were cut out using Nestabilities. I airbrushed the sentiment panel with some RV00 Copic Marker.

Supplies:
Stamps - Willow With Hot Cocoa , sentiment - Unity Stamps
Ink - Memento, Copics
Accessories - Copic ABS, Nestabilities, pearls, Embossing folder

BEAUTIFUL Christmas cards by Julie Glasgow

It's time for another 7 Kids College Fund Challenge! Our challenge this week is Nontraditional Christmas Colors! Make a card or projecting using anything but red and green.

Here is my card...

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund:

Stamps: Tilda Singing Carols

Ink: Distress Ink, Memento, Copics

Accessories: Copics Airbrush System, Pearls, Flowers, Stickles

I used a combination of Copics and Distress Inks to color this darling image!

I colored the image with distress inks and used my Copics Airbrush System to color the sky. I added some Stickles to the snow to make it sparkle.    

 I also used my Copics Airbrush System to color the flowers.

This adorable Tilda is available at 7 Kids College Fund: Go see the great selection of stamping/scrap-booking supplies available.

Stamps: Willow With Cookies (Whiff of Joy)
Paper: A Country Christmas (The Paper Studio)
Ink: Distress Ink, Memento, Copics
Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags, flowers, lace, buttons

I used a blend of  Copics and Distress Inks to color Willow With Cookies. I have found it is actually easier to color this image with distress inks because of the detail. But, I still like the blend.

I stamped the sentiment on a piece of the DP, then mounted it to a Tim Holtz Ideology fragment. I then mounted that onto an altered  Spellbinders Fancy Tag.

I have had these Christmas buttons for a while, and loved them with this image I needed to tone down the color, so colored the buttons with W7 Copics. 

Here is a closeup of my flowers.

7 Kids College Fund has some wonderful Christmas stamps, from Magnolia's to Whiff of Joy. With Christmas right around the corner, go to 7 Kids College Fund to get your Christmas card supplies.

Ann Vento's Whiff of Joy card

I have to a card to share for you using the adorable Whiff of Joy image called Sammy with Licorice.  This image was illustrated by Alison Acton and is currently available at the 7 Kids College Fund store HERE.  The Christmas sentiment is also from Whiff of Joy's Season's Greetings sentiment set, which is also available at 7 Kids HERE.  The image was colored with my trusty Distress Reinkers with Small Koi Water Brush.  I used Stickles on Sammy's hat.

I broke out my poor, neglected Fiskars Leave it to Weaver Border Punch for this card.  I don't know why I don't use this border punch more often because I really do adore threading ribbon and the effect that it gives.  It just gives it that "I took time to make this" look, don't you think?

Stamps: Whiff of Joy Sammy with Licorice and Season's Greetings sentiment set
Accessories: Whimsy Stamps "Winter's Jewel" snowflake die, dies from Spellbinders Shapeabilities Doodle Parts
Tools:   Cuttlebug, Whiff of Joy Season's Greetings Die, Tonic 12x12 Guillotine Paper Cutter,  ATG adhesive gun

I chose the Henry Mouse with Hot Chocolate stamp. I pulled out some Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey - I {heart} this paper!! It goes perfect with Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke cardstock from SU. The snowflake punches are Martha Stewart. I took the large bling and colored it with some BG13 Copic Marker to match my project - easy peasy and dries instantly! I used my Copic ABS system to airbrush the sentiment with BG 13 also.
Here is a close-up of Henry. I used a little Liquid Applique to his marshmellows and some Stickles to his steam and the berries on the mug. Henry was colored with the following Copics:

Sweet Willow card from Jodi Lee

Here is a post from Jodi's blog featuring this incredibly beautiful card:

I finally had a chance to color and create a card using this sweet image from Whiff of Joy. This is Willow with flowers from the latest collection and you can get her and more HERE. I just LOVE all of these girls, they've got such sweet faces.

Because they are so sweet I decided to use soft colors and simple embellishments. I colored and cut out my image, used my nestabilities to create the oval and then ran it through my cuttlebug folder for a dotted, embossed look. After I have cut and pieced my card together I added some half pearls and tied a ribbon.

Here is a closer look of this sweetie and the flower soft I added to her hair and boquet as well as how I colored her. When coloring, I always use my copic pens and to get a great deal on them I buy them HERE.

Card Details:

Stamp: Whiff of Joy

Paper: Basic Grey Porcelain DSP, Pink Pirouette, Neenah CS

Inks: Copics, Memento black ink

Accessories: Flower soft, white ribbon, cuttlebug embossing folder, and nestabilities
