Back To School ~ Special Guest Inge

Happy Tuesday! It is that time of the year again, when our kids head back to school. What a great time to pull out some of Whiff of Joy’s Back to school collection and create some projects to give. They will surely help ease the transition back to school :)

I was inspired by these cards created by our Special Guest Designer Inge. I love the look of the kraft cardstock paired with these images.

Here are the stamp links for you:

After seeing Inge’s  fantastic creations, I am sure you are as inspired as I am to create a few more School Themed projects! Here are the other stamps from our Back to School Collection!

Thanks for stopping by!

Special Guest ~ Inge

Happy Friday everyone! Whiff of Joy is lucky to have an extremely talented Design Team and we have also had  awesome paper-crafters who have been part of our team in the past. Today we are showcasing some cards from one of our past DT members: Inge Groot.

Inge’s work is stunningly beautiful and her style is so uniquely her own. We are so happy that she did some Special Guest work for us. Here are two of her cards using some of our Whiff of Joy Images.

In this first card,  she has used our newly released stamp Apron Full Flowers from our new Simply Maya collection.

In this card, she has used one of our older stamps Sailor Willow and used a lovely kraft and pink color combo :)

Thanks so much Inge! It is such a delight to see your creative touch with the Whiff of Joy Images!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Baby Gift Wrap by Inge Groot

Hello girls, thanks again for stopping by at the Whiff of Joy Inspirations and Tutorial Blog. Today it's my turn again to show you a little tutorial. I've chosen to use this lovely Whiff of Joy stamp, Willow Holding Baby, to make a sweet baby gift. It's really simple, quick to make gift and such a great way to give something simple as baby socks in a sweet package.

First choose your designpaper, cardstock, stamp and paperbag (the size of this white paperbag is 4 x 9 inch)

Cut cardstock at 12 x 5 and score at 3-3,5-7,5-8, fold and glue together

Try to fit on the paperbag with the socks already inside. Cut designpaper choose your stamp, and decorate the base. So easy and fun to do and here's the final result

Supplies

Stamps: Whiff Of Joy Willow holding Baby, Baby sentiments

Paper: White Paperbag, Cardstock and Designpaper

Accessories: Silver head Pins, brads, twill, charm cross

Tool: Quickutz, Big Shot, nestabilities oval and scalloped oval, leaves die

Color medium: Copic Sketches, chalk, stickles

Have fun!

How to 3D a stamped image by Inge Groot

Goodmorning girls, today I am going to show you how to 3D a stamped image. It really isn't that hard and it gives your card such a nice dimensional touch. It's a bit more time consuming than a regular card but with good preparation it only takes about 10 minutes more to finish!

First I pick the image I want to work with and choose some nice designpapers to go along with it. I've picked  my favorite xmas stamp from last year, Willow with Stocking. Stamp a main image and 4 others (sometimes you can use more or less, it all depends on the image you use)

Cut out the main image and place it on the card ( I always glue everything together when I am completely ready picking the designpapers and embellishments)

Now look carefully at your image and choose which parts you want to cut out to get dimension. I've made four steps with Willow.

Colour your images. I colour all the steps for a nice finishing touch.

Use the pergamano Ball Tool/Embossing Tool (Thank you Paula;-)) to puff out the parts of the images before you glue them on the main image with little foam pads. I think 3Dkit gives a better result but I didn't had that in stock when creating this card. Note to self: be prepared when making a tutorial;-)

Here's the image completely done! Don't you love the sight of all the layers and the bling of the Stickles *sigh*

And here's the card ready to be send to Katharina for the Stamp Mekka next month.

Hope you've liked this little tutorial, if you have any questions please do ask and I will try to help you out.

Supplies

Stamps: Willow with Stocking

Paper: Green and Red Prism Cardstock, Xmas designpaper

Accessories: E line flowers, E line Swirl, brads

Tool: Quikcutz and Holy Leaves die

Color Medium: Copic Sketches, chalk, Stickles

-A huge thanks to Debby and Mariska for their inspiring 3D cards-

Have a wonderful day!

Baby Gift Box by Inge Groot

Hi Ladies, it's my time again to show you how I did it;-) This time I've made a little gift box for a sweet newborn girl. Inside the box there's room for a pair of tiny sox. Now let's start...

Take a piece of 12 x 12 Kraft paper (this is the only time I use inches the rest of the tutorial will be in cm. You can easily convert this with an inch converter to cm found by Google) Cut two pieces , one of 12  by 24 cm and a square one of 17,4 x 17,4 cm

Score the square one at 5,8 and 11,6 cm than turn and do the exact same thing again. Score the other piece of cardstock at 3 - 9 cm turn and score at 3- 9 -15 -21 cm

Cut the piece in the middle out, where the line is and then it will look like this

Now fold all the scored lines of both the square and the rectangle pieces of cardstock

You see here that I've cut on both sides a little, this is to make the lit later on. The exact same thing I did with the square one

Now fold the square piece to a little box

And glue with tape to the other piece of cardstock

Tape the lit together

Your box is ready, let the fun part begin....start decorating!

And open....

Supplies

Stamps: Whiff Of Joy willow with Toddler,  Whiff Of Joy Baby sentiment's,Whif Of Joy Christmas Swirls

Paper: Kraft cardstock and Daisy D's

Accessories: Prima little roses, strass, ribbon.

Tool: Big Shot, Quickutz, Quickutz die leaves and nestabilities round and scalloped round

Color Medium: Copic Sketches

Have fun and enjoy this tutorial, if you have any questions please ask:-) Need another sample? You can look overhere and see the one I've did last year.
