My last post as Gust Designer..

 

Here's my last card as guest designer over at Whiff of Joy. It sure has been a pleasure. I can't believe it's been 6 months already.. wow! These images are so cute I just adore this illustrators work. I used my Fancy Pants Design Papers and sticker as the sentiment. I think it's perfect for the carefree look on this little guy's face. :)

Thank you for having me Katharina!

Hugs, Mindy

A Pink Christmas Card.

Hi there everyone. Mindy here.

 

Here's a card I made using Angel Maya. This little image is so cute, I just love her to pieces. She's so much fun to color. I love the way her dress flows and the depth you can get when coloring it.

I hope you like my card.

Have a Happy Holiday Season.

A gift set , by Mindy!

Hello, Mindy here. I have a little project to share with you. A card and matching flower bouquet.

I saw this scrapbook paper at a local scrap store and couldn't resist. I should be making some Christmas cards but here I am with the Springy-est  of all Spring cards!

 

I've used these super adorable image, the one on the card is called Busy Posties - Simply Maya  and the one on the bouquet is called Stitched up with love - Simply Maya .

They are both from the Simply Maya Collection.

Sew Sweet Sewing Box!

 

Hi there crafty friends! It's Mindy here with my first guest designer post here at Whiff of Joy!

 

This is my first project using the new Sew Sweet Collection. I have used Sew Cute - Maya. I made a little box and it has a folder on top of it. I put a little sewing kit in the folder and the spools of thread in the box! I found the little kit at the dollar store! Pretty good deal, eh!?

Fold Card Tutorial

Fold Card by Natascha Banning

Hello!
Today is my turn to inspire you and my decision fall on a Fold Card with lots of space to embellish.
This is how my finished card looks like:

Hallo!
Heute bin ich an der Reihe euch zu inspirieren. Dafür habe ich mich für eine einfache Faltkarte entschieden, die viel Platz zum Gestalten bietet.
So sieht meine fertige Karte aus:

Front:
Vorderseite:

Inside:
Innengestaltung:

After opening the bow inside:
Nach dem Öffnen der Schleife im Innenteil:

Here comes the instruction how you can do this Fold Card yourself.
You will need 4 pieces of cardstock to cut the card pieces:
Red lines are to fold

Hier ist eine Beschreibung wie ihr so eine Faltkarte selbst machen könnt.
Ihr braucht insgesamt 4 Papierzuschnitte aus Karton:
Die roten Linien sind zum Falten

After cutting all pieces you need, you can start to cut your designer papers and matting papers. My matting papers are all pink and 0,5 cm minor than the card templates.

Nach dem Zuschneiden aller Teile könnt ihr mit dem Zuschnitt von Papieren zum Matten anfangen. Meine sind alle rosa und 0,5 cm kleiner als die Angaben für die Kartenformen.

My designer papers are from the Spring Awakening Paper Pad and self-stamped papers with the Whiff of Joy “Essential Backgrounds Lovely Vintage, text style”. All designer papers shapes are cut 0,4 cm minor than the matting pieces.

Ich habe Design Papier aus dem Frühlings Erwachen Paper Pad verwendet und selbst gestempelte Papiere mit dem Whiff of Joy “Hintergrundstempel Lovely Vintage, Text“. Alle Design Paper Zuschnitte sind 0,4 cm kleiner als die Papiere zum Matten.

After finishing all the cutting glue all the shapes together. If you like, you can add some texture to your edge by using a sewing machine and white paint like I did.

Nach dem ganzen Zuschneiden klebt alle Teile zusammen. Wenn ihr mögt, könnt ihr noch mehr Textur an den Papierkanten erzeugen indem ihr sie mit einer Nähmaschine vernäht und mit weißer Farbe bepinseln.

The main work is done, now we can start to glue the papers to the card.

Die meiste Arbeit ist getan, jetzt kann man die Papierschichten auf die Karte kleben.

After covering all pages of the main card we can add the folding part inside our card. Add some double-sides adhesive tape and tape a ribbon to the background. This will help you to close the folding.

Nachdem unsere Karte mit Papieren umkleidet ist, können wir den faltbaren Teil in die Karte kleben. Verwendet zum Aufkleben doppelseitiges Klebeband und vergesst das Schleifenband nicht aufzukleben. Dieses hilft euch später die Faltung zu verschließen.

Stick the folding with ribbon to the card.
Klebt die Faltung mit dem Schleifenband in die Karte.

Add some papers to make it pretty.
Verkleidet alle Seiten mit Papier um alles schön zu machen.

This is how I used the little envelop and the tag.
Hier könnt ihr gut sehen, wie ich den kleinen Umschlag und den Tag verwendet habe.

Now your basic card form is finished. You can start to decorate and embellish it the way you like. I have used some Henry the mouse Vintage Images, sentiments, vintage style stamps, ribbon, lace, rhinestones in vintage brown, flowers, Lovely Doily die and some more stash.

Jetzt ist die Basis Karte fertig. Ihr könnt sie noch nach Lust und Laune dekorieren und bekleben. Ich habe auf meiner Karte einige Henry Motive aus der Vintage Kollektion verwendet, Sprüche, Vintage Stempel, Schleifenband, Spitze, Schmucksteine in vintage braun, Blümchen, Lovely Doily Stanze und noch einiges mehr.

Thanks for reading and have fun to use my inspiration.

Vielen Dank fürs Lesen und viel Spaß beim Nachbasteln.
LG, Natascha

Guest Designer for April & May

Happy Thursday Everyone! As you may remember, after we had our Design Team call, we had a really hard time choosing the team. There were so many amazing entries but we couldn’t take everyone. That is when we decided that we would ask some of our fabulous entrants to be our Guest Designers!

For February and March, we had the amazing Linda Kläringe from Pysselbus. She did a phenomenal job! Thanks sweetie!

For April & May, we are delighted to have:

Natascha Banning from Natascha’s Blog

We fell in love with Natascha’s sense of light and movement in her creations and how she is able to add texture with her embellishments!

We asked Natascha to tell us a little about herself. This is what she wrote:

“Hello! My name is Natascha Banning and I am 28 years old now. I have three adorable kids in the age between 6 and 9 years and my husband who I love very much. We are 9 years married now and live with our two cats in a lively apartment. I started crafting after my youngest sons birth in the summer 2007. One year later I fall for stamping and crafting cards. Since a while I have a craft room for myself and I can take my breaks there from my full-time job as mother, housewife and my payed part time job which I do from home as well. I am pleased to work with so many amazing crafters around the world. You are all so great and inspiring. I am looking forward to get creative with the cute and lovely Whiff of Joy products and show them to you. Hugs and kisses, Natascha :)”

Thanks so much for accepting to be our Guest Designer for the next two months! We can’t wait to see all that you create :)

Have a great day everyone :)

Hugs Jeanette xxo
