Pebble Art Stone. This weeks assignment for Hobby Alternatief was “pebble art stone” we didn’t have to use the real pebble stones, we where allowed to make some. So I went to look for an alternative. finally I choose to make this pendant. But let me start at the beginning.At first I wanted to buy some stone art clay, but forgot that I would have to use my hand working with it. Sadly my hand hasn’t healed enough yet for…
Alternative for Mica Hello again, I’m a bit later then usually with translating my blogpost. I just spend the weekend in a small house on a vacation park with the other ladies from the design team from Hobby Alternatief, sadly 2 of them couldn’t make it. For this week I had to use Mica in my creation, which I don’t have so I went for an alternative. I used a double base card and cut the front at 1 inch…
My Valentine Card My Valentine card, this weeks assignment for Hobby Alternatief came by coincidence, when I see techniques on the internet I always give them a go and mostly I have no clue what to do with all these trial runs, so I keep them all in a binder and every once in a while when I need or want a unique background I pick one from them. Do you guys keep your trail runs too? Where do you…

This weeks assignment was to make something with the resisting colours technique, I like playing with colours and have made a few cards before using this technique so this time I made 2 cards.These cards are pretty easy to make, even for beginners and don’t take much of your time. For both cards I used a white base card, 1 with a blue mat and 1 with a pink mat. Then both an other mat, this time a white…
Mini pocket with a teabags topper. This week we had to create something with the folding teabags technique, so I choose to make a teabags topper to use as an embellishment on a mini pocket to gift to someone dear to you. I added a video on how to fold the bag in my post on the Hobby Alternatief blog, This was a little challenge for me, the hype of folding teabags has passed by mess I had to do some research on YouTube how to…
Lovely and sweet, word art tag This weeks assignment was a fun one, we had to make something using word art, which is more often used in journaling or in mixed media projects. I made a card using this technique for a greeting card once before, this time I used it to make a tag. A wonderful technique for a novice because you can’t go wrong, it did take a bit more time then usual because of the layers you keep…

The folding of this pinwheel is very straight forward, I will ad a video so you can follow the steps to create one. For the origami pinwheel card part I have chosen a 15 by…
