I haven’t made that many cards so far this year — I’ve been relying on my stash mostly — but it’s now that time when I have to start again. There are quite a few men having birthdays in the next couple of months and, of course, there’s Father’s Day as well, and I just don’t have masculine cards in my stash.
Another “let’s try out a product” project. The product in question being the Viva Venezio stone effect kit. And I have to say, I’m really rather happy with how it turned out, especially for a first try.
My first art journal page. I’ve always avoided art journalling, much the same way I tend to avoid written journalling, but if I view it as a space for play and not for “baring your soul” then it could be an interesting experiment.
I’m trying to use some of the supplies that have been sitting unloved in my stash. I’ve pretty much given up on ever catching up with all the stamps, dies and stencils, but I do hold out hope that I can make a large dent in the backlog of paints, embossing powders and other colouring mediums. I admit it, I have a problem. YouTube is a bad influence…
Another challenge from That’s Crafty; this time the requirement is to add stitching — either real or faux — to a project. I decided almost immediately that I wanted my stitching to be real and I even contemplated getting my sewing machine out. Machine stitching is on my list of things to play with, but I couldn’t quite bring myself to dig it out from where it has been tidied away and then have to make room for it on the craft desk…
I was going to skip the challenge over at Country View Crafts this month – humour is something I struggle with on cards. But then, at the last minute, I thought why not push myself and make something…
This box was made with a particular person in mind, the same person I made the Harry Potter wedding card for. She is one of the few people who would appreciate the time turner that has been lurking in my stash.
