Visions of Sugar Plums - Hanging ATC Christmas Ornaments Joggles DT Tutorial!

Seasons Greetings Stamping Friends!
Wow, can you believe November is nearly over already, this year has just flown by in a blink of an eye!  The saying "time flies when you're having fun" truly applies as this has been a fabulous creative year for me😊

Today I'm sharing my last Joggles design team project for 2017 with an in-depth tutorial over on the Joggles blog which you can check out here!  I created 3 double-sided ATC Christmas hanging ornaments to get you into the spirit of the season.  The concept for these was the phrase "visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads" and I love how they turned out! 


I love making Christmas ornaments, they make lovely hand made gifts and are also a fun alternative to giving out Christmas cards too!  I’m sure your family and friends would be delighted to receive one of these festive ornaments this year😉


 Each side is done in a different style, one side is whimsical and fun and the other is clean and elegant.


You can choose to make single sided ornaments and hang them on your Christmas tree or for cards you can add your Christmas sentiments on the back.  Double-sided ornaments are beautiful from all angles and perfect for hanging anywhere in your home.  You can even make both sides completely different like I’ve done with mine.  The whimsical sides feature a Joggles Itty Bitty ATC stencil, Joggles rubber stamps and Laurel Burch cats and the elegant sides feature gorgeous Giftsland Lokta hand made paper from the assorted Copper pack. 

Here’s a closer look at the whimsical kitty side of each ornament.


 Check out my little video of the ornaments in action!  They’re so pretty and exactly what I envisioned dancing sugar plums would look like!

Haunted Wonky Cat Houses - a Joggles DT project tutorial!

Howzit Stamping Friends!
It's my turn again to bring you some Joggles design team inspiration with an in-depth tutorial over on the Joggles blog today!  With Halloween fast approaching its time to get into the spirit with my haunted collection of wonky wooden cat houses😸👻


Today's tutorial features 3 of Joggles Wonky Wood Houses decorated with faBOOlous Lokta paper from the Copper collection, handmade Distress Oxides stenciled paper and an assortment of rubber stamps.  But the star of the show are the Laurel Burch kitties that Joggles now carries!  I've loved Laurel Burch cats FURRever!


The faBOOlous Lokta paper was used everywhere except the front facades which was covered with my Distress Oxides and gears stenciled paper.


The windows and doors were all die cut out and a multitude of Laurel Burch kitties in shades of Halloween are peering out scaring the zombie, spider and pumpkins half to death!



 Here they are looking PURRfectly spooktacular in my Halloween display!


Hope you enjoyed seeing my Haunted Wonky Cat Houses and are now heading over to Joggles to see how I made them😸

"Wave at the Kitty" extra large card - Joggles DT tutorial

Howzit Stamping Friends!
It's my turn again to bring you some Joggles design team inspiration with an in-depth tutorial over on the Joggles blog today! 


 Today's tutorial features Joggles brand rubber stamps and card making.  I talk about how I enjoy making "different" cards whether that be by doing unusual sizes/shapes (today's card is 11 inches tall) or looking at your stamp collection with fresh eyes and using images in unexpected ways!  I also demo how to create wonderful backgrounds and paint stamped images with Distress Oxide ink pads!


 This entire card was made with Distress Oxides plus a touch of Dylusions white paint pen for highlights.


It's also fun to personalize your cards with your own thoughts and quotes!


Hope you enjoyed seeing my fun card and are now heading over to Joggles to see how I made it😊
