HANDMADE cards

8/30/2018

I have made some more cards for the organization that sends cards out to seniors. I tackled this project by sitting with a specific idea and making a number at the same time. I don’t usually do my work this way, but it worked out well. Perhaps doing it this way reflects the mood of the day.

Alcohol inks

8/28/2018

After seeing such lovely work from Crafters using alcohol inks, I decided to purchase some Tim Holtz inks. I have been playing around with Yupo Paper as well as testing the inks on other paper surfaces.

The best is Yupo Paper. However, it is rather pricey if you want to do a lot of projects with alcohol inks. I found that using the back of Hp photo glossy cards (4 x 6 inches) was the next best surface. It has a grittier surface and works well. Here are some samples. Notice I have doodled in the samples with black micro perm pens.

The top two are on Hp paper and the bottom one is on Yupo.

Stamp coloring

There are many ways to prepare a stamp for die cutting. One can cut first and then color with inks of your choice. However you can also color in by using foam pads and ink and coloring a whole page before die cutting. This way the colors can smudge all over the place and the dies will cut away all the unnecessary strokes. This set is from Heartfelt Creations. Colors are the new Harmony stamp pads from Crafters Companion.

    Sewing, machine embroidery, paper-craft, and stamping are my hobbies. At the moment die-cutting paper craft is my favorite, and I am sharing my projects with you on this website.

    If you're not giving every project away, sharing is the second best thing to enjoy; I hope you will enjoy the ideas and be inspired to do your own thing.

    Crafting gives me a sense of calm and accomplishment, and for me it's like the apple a day that keeps the doctor away.
