It’s time …

bronze earrings

 hello friends, today I propose a project with the polyshrink, to make earrings.

sorry for photos & my english :)

you need a sheet of transparent polyshrink, stazon black and a stamp to your liking. I chose to use Maya as Frankenstein's wife

 After printing Maya, cut out the shape with scissors and foratela before heating it with the embosser

 when it is still hot, turn and back inked with ink brillance bronze effect

 Now we just have to assemble the pieces!

here is the final result...

thanks for watching, 

a hug SARA

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 :)

Door hanger template

Today I want to share this door hanger  template with you all.

This is the one I used for my monthly themed project doorhanger.

When you came to visit our monthly themed project last saturday,

you have already seen this, but I thought it would be nice to share the template with you.

Instead of easter eggs you can place something else in the pocket, for example

nice little baby socks for a newborn baby.

Below, you see some detailed picks of my doorhanger.

Have a nice day alll!

Hugs,
