How to store your Whiff of Joy Stamps forever

Hi all!

This is Bianca for you today! I can´t belief it but this will be my last post on this blog as Whiff of Joy will close the doors forever soon. 

I tought we all can need some inspiration and tips how to store our Whiff of Joy stamps for ever as we can´t get new images and want to use that one we have for a very, very long time.

So here are some hints for you:

*) Store your stamps in a cool and dry place. If the temperature offset is to high the rubber can start to get crumbly. This will destroy your stamp!

*) Always clean your stamps with a stamp cleaner and/ore baby wipes. The baby wipes often have a little bit of lotion ore oil in it. This not only care for baby skin but also for your stamps as the rubber will stay soft with it. Just take care the baby wipes don´t have any alcohol ore formaldehyd in it´s liquid.

* Store your stamps flat and with out any pressure on it. You can use little boxes for it as I have done for my project.

This is a box you sometimes get if you order some yummy foot at a food service. I have start my project with eating some Chines noodles :-)

The boxes are stabile and have a good lid. One box has enough space for one of your Whiff of Joy stamp kits. You can decorate the lid with one of the stampimages you will store inside. If you want to staking more boxes for a deck you just have to care for the decoration has to be flat. I have used the "Tanzende Herzen" die as dies are perfekt for a wonderfull flat decoration.

I hope you will have fun for a long time with your Whiff of Joy stamps with this hints.

I will use my Whiff of Joy stamps again and again and if you like it you can visit my blog for new inspirations from now on.

Don´t forget our final sale! You can save up to 90%. It´s the last chance for get the images and dies you always want to have!

THANK YOU! To everyone of you! I will miss you and Whiff of Joy!

Hugs

Hier ist nun was ich aus dem Layout gemacht habe.
Well, this is what I have done with the help of Tantis inspiration.

Auch bei mir ist es ein Urlaubs-Layout geworden. Wohl nicht so exotisch wie bei Tanti aber auch schön. Bei Whiff of Joy hatte ich jede Menge Auswahl was Motive und Verzierungen angeht.

I have made a holiday layout too. It´s not that exotic like tantis layout but it´s beautifull too. I also had a lot of inspirations fromthe lovely products of Whiff of Joy.

Scrap your stash and make a heartshaped easle-card, Tudorial

Hi Everyone!

It´s my turn (Bianca´s) to scrap my stash. I thought you maybe want to see a new way to use one of your "old" Whiff of Joy dies. If you belief me ore not, you can´t just make only the lovely hearthaped box with this die.

NO - it´s also perfect for make all your cards for St. Valentine´s Day this year!

All what you need is:

* this die-light - it´s Herz Geschenkbox

*your favourit Whiff of Joy Stamp (mine is: Fische)

* a Sentiment ( I have used: Ein kleiner Gruß)

* some left over papers and embelishments

*Scorebord (but it also works with  a bonefolder and a ruler) 

First of all use your die two times and cut away the the flaps. You will need the flaps with the little glue flap. If you use not so very heavy paper you have to stick this flap tougether. If you use very heavy cardstock you can also use just one of this flaps.

Now you have to score this flap at 1,1" (ore 2,5cm) and ...

... and stick it on one of your heart shaped pards. This will be your card base now. Let the glue try befor you start with the next step.

Now fold your flap just like on the photo. The scorline is now on the end of the flap. Add some glue and now you have to put the uper pard of your card. The position must be exectly on the based part of the card and the flap must be in the same position as you can see it on the foto.

Now it looks like this and it is ready for beeing decorated by you.

Don´t forget to use something like the sentiment on my card for hold the uper part of your card if it´s displayed.

It´s really easy, you can use all your left overs and a die-light in a different way.

Have fun!

Make your selfmade savings box, Tudorial Thursday!

Hi Everyone!

It´s Tudorial Thursday and my (Bianca´s) turn to show you something new for try by yourself.

I deside to show you how to make a savings box. It´s a perfect little gift ore also fab for your self and save your money for something important like new Whiff of Joy stamps *giggle*.

This is what you will need:

* a round can ore box made of clear plastic with a reuseable cap

* designerpapers

* WoJ stamp image of your joice mine is:
Segelausflug

* some dies for decoration mine are:
Herzbanner and Geschachtelte Herzen

* carpet cutter ore other cutting tool
*glue, scissors a.s.o.

I have start my project with - RELAXING in my bathtube 

as my plastic can was the packing of a very fine bath salt but you can use a can also from other goods as long as its made of clear plastic and has a cap to close and open again and again.

As all this cans will have diverent diameters. I don´t use any size informations in my tudorial! But don´t be afraid it´s really so very easy!

First of all you have to cut a money slit into the lid. That´s tricky as the plastic is not very soft.
Please take care of your fingers! 
I have ask my hubby for help and he cut´s the slit with one of his electric tools. It also works with a carped knife but the electric toll is more finger friendly if you ask me ;-)

If you have the slit the most tricky part is done. Now cut a pize of designerpaper as tall as the coverage of your can and use the glue for stick it on the can.

If you wish to have a window for see how much money is inside you can shorten the paper a little bit so that it´s not as tall as the can. If you don´t want to have a window you can also use a can of heavy card ore plastic in colors.

Take care of the cap as you must be abel to open it again. Just don´t give glue on that parts of paper and don´t let the paper overlaping the cap.
If you belief it ore not - this is it!
Now you can start to decorate the can.

If you are interested you can see one more example for one of this savings boxes on my blog.

Have fun and a lovely day!

Quick and Easy Christmas Crackers, Tudorial

Hi Everyone!

It´s Christmas time and yes, you have count right there are just some more days left befor Christmasday will come.

So I (Bianca) tought you maybe need a quick and easy last minute tudorial. This Cristmas Crackers are not just perfect for Christmas. You can also use it for your New Years party ore as a quick gift wrap for a small present.

This is your shopping list:

* Stampkit #4/2014 ore any WoJ image 

* Designer Papers about 12"x7" (light designer papers, NO cardstock!)
* Schneeflocken trio, Stanze Die light

*Some ribbon

*glue

*a toilett paper roll
* Scorepal and bonefolder

Now lets start. It´s very easy and you will need just about 5 minutes to finish one of this christmas crackers. Dont´forget to cut the cardstock into an 12" x 7" pice.

As the rolles have not exectly the same size I did not wrote any measurements. It will fit if you work just like as you see it on the photos.

Put the roll in the middle of your paper. and score two lines in a small distance from the roll as on the photo.

After you made the first scoreline make 3 more scorelines each in a distance of 1/2". So you will have 4 scorlines. Do the same at the other side of the roll.

Than turn the paper around and score all 7" in 1/2" distances at both sides of the paper. Leafe the middle part of the paper (were the roll was lieing on it first) free of any scorelines!

You will get a grid like this. Now we have to stick the roll on the paper. Use glue on the not scored part of the paper and....

... roll the toilettpaper roll into it.

This is what you will have now. 

The next part is a little bit tricky. It´s possible everything looks a little messy first but don´t give up as you will fix it a little later!

Grap around the paper on the position of your crosswise scorelines and push them tougether.

Now wrap the ribbon over the paper and pick it carefully until you are satisfied with it.

Now it´s time to decorate.
I have used images and sentimenst from my Stampkit #4/2014 and some die-lights with glitter on it.

Last but not least I want to invite you to enter the candy on my blog. You can win 4 Whiff of Joy Stamps. 

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Tag you´re it

Hello!

It´s me Bianca and it´s my turn for the Tag, You´re it post this time.

It was not that difficult for me to find someone who´s projects are worth to show it as I know

  Susanne Rose from Clay Scrap Creative.

Susannes Blog is so very fab. She is using many different technics for her projects and everytimes I visit her blog I find something new.

For my project I have picked this card from Susanne

She made this bagground with calk colours and a clear embossing stamppad. I love this wonderfull rainbow colours very much. So I have use this technic tougether with my fab Whiff of Joy Summer Stampkit 2014 for create my card inspired by Susanne Rose.

And this it is!

It was such great fun playing with all that colours and decorate it with images of my Stampkit.

Thank you Susanne for inspire me so very often!

Create a Photoframe with Designpaper Rolls, Tutorial Thursday

Hello!

It´s Tutorial Thursday and my (Bianca) turn to show you a little tudorial today.

As it´s summer time I thought you maybe like to see a new idea for display one of your favourit photo from your summer holidays.

So this a a photoframe just made with rolls of desigpapers and a little pice of heavy wight cardstock.
(plus a photo of my son Pauli if he was 1y.o.)

This is what I have used:

* Designpapers not to heavy, 1 sheet for photo in normal photo size

*a pice of heavy with cardstock (from a cereal Box)

*scissors

*scoring board  and bonefolder / ore ruler and pencile

* a pencile (round not with edges!)

*glue

* lot of lovely little embelishments for decoration

* the fab Summer stampkit 2/2014
* little boot embelishments, Box of Charms for Boys

Okay, let´s go:

Start with scoring your papers at 2", 4", 6", 8", and 10"

Use the scorringlines for cut your paperstripes just like on the photo. You need 12 pices. The leng depends from the size of your photo. So if you want to make a frame for a lager photo than normal photo size you maybe need a second sheet!

Now roll your papers over your round pencile. Add glue like you can see on the photo and wrap the paper around the pencile for secure the paper rolle the pencile up amnd down. Hold it for some seconds for beeing shure the glue will fix the paper.

This will first look a little messy but don´t worry, nobody will see it in the end!

If you have 12 rolles you can create the frame by aranging it around the photo. Stick the photo on the greyboard. You can cut away the overlaping if the glue is try.

Finish, now you can decorate!

Have fun and happy crafting!
