Stampin' Fun Friday (Whiff of Joy Sneak Peeks 2 & 3) + WOJ Stamp GIVEAWAY

Happy Friday evening stamping friends!

I have two projects for you featuring sneak peeks of the September 1st Whiff of Joy release.

First up?

Miss Betty with Candy Cane Mouse.

I love, love, love these little WOJ mice.

Seriously.

For Little Miss Betty I created a 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square card from kraft cardstock.

I trimmed a piece of Pure Poppy Papertrey Ink cardstock into a 4" square and stamped it with the Hero Arts Cling Dots background stamp and Versamark Ink.

I  used an edge distresser on the edges and machine stitched around the edge, then adhered it to the kraft card base.

I added an October Afternoon Christmas Wild Card to the background.

Then, it was time for Miss Betty.

I stamped her on Neenah Solar White Cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored her fur with these Copic Sketch Markers:

I colored her hat, dress and bow with the red colors, the trim on her hat with the Spica Clear Glitter Pen and her necklace with the Spica Gold Glitter Pen.

Candy cane colors:

I masked Betty and stamped the background with the Hero Arts Friend Definition Cling Background stamp and Antique Linen Distress Ink. I stamped some Hero Arts snowflakes using Barn Door Distress Ink and added gemstones to the centers.

I punched it out with a 3" circle punch and die cut a scallop circle using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.

I finished the card with some satin ribbon and MM Christmas florals.

Next, here is Henry Christmas Mouse:

I thought it would be fun to do something a little different with Henry and I die cut this adorable little gift bag using the Silhouette. I used paper from my scrap file to die cut the box, which gave me a starting place for Copic Marker Colors for Mr. Henry.

I die cut and embossed the oval using a Spellbinders die in the Sizzix Big Shot.

I stamped him using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then used the following colors for his fur, nose and cheeks:

I probably didn't need all these grays. I started light and kept going darker. If I were to color him again I wouldn't use the lightest of these.

Next, I colored his sweater, hat and mouth:

Then I colored his present:

The sweater details and plate of cookies:

I masked Henry and stamped the background with Old Paper Distress Ink, then inked the edges.

I added stamped snowflakes using Hero Arts clear stamps with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added gemstones to the centers.

I die cut a scallop oval from a scrap of brown patterned paper and adhered the scallop label to the front of the gift bag. I stamped the matching greeting on the topper of the bag and secured the bag together with a ribbon.
