Easy and cute minicards by tanjaak

Hello everyone! Today as my first tutorial as a dt member I´d like to share with you an easy and fast way to make cute cards... and I also want to remind you all of how cute accessory stamps and sentiments WoJ has. We so often forget that they can also be used alone.

So here are the materials needed for this 10x10cm minicard:

• 10x20cm piece of light yellow cardstock folded in half
• 9,6x9,6cm piece of brown cardstock
• 9,2x9,2 piece of pink dp
• 7,9x8,7 piece of brown cardstock
• 7,5x8,5 piece of dp that I have embossed with my cuttlebug machine
• a scalloped brown cardstock circle
• a circle of cardstock with your image on it
• sentiment stamped on a strip of paper
• your choice of colouring medium
• distress ink and sponge (I have used ink on the edges of the sentiment strip and also around the image)
• your choice of adhesive... I always use double-sided tape, couldn´t live without it LOL!

After colouring in the image and sponging the edges with ink it´s time to assemble the card... that´s how easy this card is to make.

So here´s my finished card.

As these cards are so easy and fast to make I´ve made three different ones already. The little birdie and butterfly stamps are from Whiff of Joy´s 2009 spring kit but you can also get the chickie here and the butterfly here with some matching sentiments if you don´t want the whole spring kit. The sentiments I have used are from the 2010 June Stamp Kit - Fun in the sun as is the cute little crab.

Hope I have managed to insipre you at least a bit. Have fun crafting!

Fabric flowers by Giò

Hi all!!!

Today I propose you a simple tutorial flowers with fabric. I used a white fabric and then I stamped it but obviously you can use fantasy fabric or felt or even paper but in this last case the flower is less soft.

Ciao a tutti!!!

Oggi vi propongo un semplice tutorial per realizzare dei fiori con la stoffa. Io ho utilizzato del tessuto bianco che poi ho timbrato, ma naturalmente potete usare del tessuto fantasia o del feltro o anche la carta, in quest'ultimo caso il fiore risulta meno morbido.

Here is the list for the material

Ecco l'elenco del materiale necessario:

Cutting machine

Scallop circle Nestabilities

White fabric

Background stamps

Craft ink

Double side adhesive tape

Circle punch 1"

Scissor

Buttons

Twine

First of all we stamp the fabric.

Per prima cosa stampiamo il tessuto.

Then we cut the pieces we need with a Nestabilities. 

Poi tagliamo i pezzi che ci servono con le Nestabilities. 

Now we cut in the middle each circle. We need six half circle for each flower.

Ora tagliamo a metà ogni cerchio. Abbiamo bisogno di sei mezzi cerchi per ogni fiore.

On a part of the half-circle we stick a piece of double side tape.

Su un lembo della mezzaluna attacchiamo un pezzetto di biadesivo.

We use this double side tape to make a little cone with the half-circle.

Usiamo questo biadesivo per formare con la mezzaluna un piccolo cono.

We cut with a punch a piece of cardstock and cover it with double side tape.

Tagliamo con la punch un pezzetto di cartoncino e rivestiamolo di biadesivo.

Now we stick this little cones on the cardstock .

Ora non ci rimane che incollare questi piccoli coni sul cerchio in cartoncino.

Then a little button finishes this delicious flower.

Infine un bottoncino rifinisce questo delizioso fiorellino.

As always, I hope this tutorial like you. Thanks to spend your time here.

Come sempre spero vi sia piaciuto. Grazie per avermi dedicato il vostro tempo.

Thanks for stopping by.

Giò

Tri-Shutter Card by Debbie Dolphin

Hello All
My name is Debbie and this is my first time as Guest DT on the Whiff of Joy Tutorial blog and feel so privileged to be here . So I hope you like what I am sharing with you today.

You will need:
Whiff of Joy stamp-Willow dressing up
Cardstock 5 1/2'' x 12''
Scoreboard
Papers of your choice(I used Basic Grey Capella) and card for matting and layering.
Nestabilities Label 10
Embellishments

1. Firstly score your 5.5''x 12'' cardstock at 2", 4", 8" and 10" as in the picture above.

2. Now turn your cardstock vertically and with a paper trimmer line up inwardly at 1 1/2" and cut from the 2" score line to the 10" scoreline. Then do the same on the opposite side and fold the cardstock on the scored lines.

3. Once scored, the middle panel needs to be folded the opposite way to the outside panels.
4. It should now look like the picture above. The Valley and Mountain folds in the centre panel should be opposite to the outer panels.

5. Ok, now using matching papers I decorated each panel and matted and layered each piece onto brown cardstock.
6.Finally add embellishments and Willow who was painted with Distress inks.
Thankyou for looking.
Have Fun

Copic Airbrushing

Hi! This is Jeanette and I am back as promised with a short video on copic airbrushing. If you would like to see the video on how I masked all my images together, you can scroll down one post or just click ~here~.

When I first started airbrushing, I used the starter kit that came with the Air Grip, Air Adaptor, Air Hose, Air Can 80, and Air Can Holder. I fell in love with the look and the ease of airbrushing but I very quickly ran out of air from the can! I purchased more and they quickly emptied too! I took the plunge and invested in a compressor. Although pricey, I do not regret my decision.

So now I use the Sparmax AC –101 Windstorm Air Compressor. The Air Grip and the Air Adaptor work perfectly with it and now…………AIR is free!

A few tips when you airbrush:

• The air grip is made to work with Sketch markers although I hear that you can rig it to work with the Ciaos. I am not sure how.
• Insert the chisel edge into the grip so that the longer point is up at the top.
• The ink will spray a little ahead of where you point, so always start on a piece of scrap paper and move your nozzle over to your project. This way you will have an idea of where it is spraying.
• Maintain a constant pressure on the air grip. If you don’t you will get spatters and blobs as you airbrush…this can be a great look but sometimes not the look you were aiming for.
• I set my pressure gauge on the compresser between 40-50 PSI. This gives me the perfect spray.

Here is my video:

and here is the finished card:

Stamps: Whiff of Jo: Sailor Willow, Sitting Sailor Oakley, Beach Chair

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: SU! Whisper White, Baja Breeze, DP Websters Pages

Coloring: Copic Markers

Tools: SU! Punches, Cuttlebug die for the corners Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions just let me know! I will do my best to answer you!

Breezing on by... by Katharina Frei

Stamps: Whiff of Joy sailboat and text included in July's STORE stamp kit "Life's a beach", swirly clouds
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, StazOn jet black, SU bashful blue
Paper: SU bashful blue cardstock, white vellum from Paper Temptress, SU bashful blue dp
Accessories: ribbon from SU, button, white scrappers floss, white felt, SU crystal effects
Tools: EK Success border punch, SU border punch
coloured with Copic Sketch Markers

I used a strong vellum cardstock and stamped the swirly clouds, illustrated by Elisabeth Bell, on it with Bashful blue ink from Stampin' Up. The vellum is then matted with bashful blue cardstock.
Ich habe ein festes, weisses Transparentpapier verwendet um den Hintergrund zu gestalten. Mit den Wirbelwolken habe ich mit Bashful blue Tinte von Stampin' Up auf das Papier gestempelt und dann mit Bashful Blue Cardstock hinterlegt.
I also stamped one cloud on felt (here it is a blue one, but I liked the white cloud better, so I decided to use the other one for my card :) ) and cut around it with sharp scissors.
Ich habe ausserdem eine Wolke auf Filz gestempelt (auf dem folgenden Bild ist es blauer Filz, mir hat auf der Karte die Wolke aber in weiss besser gefallen, weswegen ich mich dann noch umentschieden habe) und habe sie dann mit einer scharfen Schere ausgeschnitten.

I used a lot of crstal effects from Stampin' up and put it on the blue dp to imitate water.
Tip: Adhere the paper to the card first, before adding the crystal effect, because the paper will curl slightly, which would make it difficult to adhere it once it dried.
Ich habe das blaue Motivpapier mit Crystal Effects von Stampin' up eingestrichen, um Wasser anzudeuten.
Tipp: Klebt das Motivpapier zuerst auf der Karte fest bevor ihr das Crystal Effects aufstreicht. Das Papier wird sich etwas wellen, wodurch ihr nach dem Trocknen Probleme mit dem Aufkleben bekommt :)
