Happy Halloween

Hello and good day everyone! Wish you a Happy Halloween! Although we don't celebrate Halloween much here, I'm afraid, I so love to create Halloween card and creations. Today I want to show you a Halloween coffin. You can find the tutorial to make one by yourself HERE.

I used the sweet image 'Maya as Frankensteins Wife'. I coloured her with Distress Inks. I also used some Die-Lights for my creation; the Lovely Doily and the Pirates Set.

This is how it looks like inside... ;-)

And below you can see a close up of the image...

Now I wish you a spooktacular day!

We are especially excited with our new die-lights this month. They are absolute perfection and we KNOW that you will adore them. Angel wings, snowflakes…and more! We also have a new German sentiment set and another gorgeous mixed media stamp set from Stephanie Schütze.

This month, we will be giving one stamp and one die-light from our new release to one very lucky winner. The winner will be drawn from the comments on our DT blogs.  At the end of the hop, go back to the Whiff of Joy World of Ideas Blog, let us know that you have left a comment at each stop of the hop by using the inlinkz tool and you will be entered for a chance to win!

For the card I made I used sweet 'Henry with Tree'. This cutie is available from today at the Whiff of Joy shop. I also used some Die-Lights on my card; the Nested Trees and the Nested Stars. The sentiment is from the new set 'Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung'. It is currently out of stock, but am sure Katharina will have it in the shop soon again.

I colored the image with Copics. And added some of the charms from the 'Silent Night' Charm Box.

Hello and good morning everyone. Soon there will be a new release at Whiff of Joy, and today we from the team are showing you some previews of the fabulous new images and products, available from teh 29th October. There are so sweet new Christmas themed images. You will love them as much as we do!

Today I show you sweet 'Kitty'. Isn't it just so cute how it catches some snowflakes? Thinking about kitties makes me quite sad at the moment, as my beloved cat boy Nino is seriously sick, had a heavy surgery on last Sunday and we just had to bring him back to the hospital today bcause he is so poorly. Plese keep your fingers crossed for him!

And here is a close upf the image. I coloured it with Copics.

Hello and good morning everyone! While the days are getting shorter and the temperatures become lower I want to share you some inspiration for you to remembering a beautiful summertime we just had. For the card I made I used Mariella by Angelica and Friends.This sweetie is from Crafters Companion.

For my card I used some gorgeous papers by Kaisercraft 'Porcelaine Rose'. The sentiment I used on my card comes together with the image. How great is this!? And there are even two more sentiments for your using. I stamped the sentiment onto a Round Talk Magnolia Doohickey die cut.

Sally and Snowball by Sweet Pea Stamps

Hello everyone, hope you are doing fine. For my card I show you today I used a sweet  image from Conie Fong; 'Sally and Snowball', available at Sweet Pea Stamps... as being a cat lover one of my all time favorite image. She is just great to color up what I did with Copics. Sweet Sally and Snowball is available as rubber stamp and as digital image, too.

Below you can see a close up of the image. The papers I used are from Echo Park.

The soft white flowers are die cutted with the Magnolia DooHickey poinsettia die.

Into the little frame I added a little part of the design paper and covered it with glossy accent.
