An unusual Christmas card

An unusual Christmas card

An unusual Christmas card A few weeks ago I made an unusual Christmas card, I made some “pressed” paper, just to try it out some time. Not the way it was made years ago but in a surprisingly easy way. I like the pressed paper and the pattern in it so much that I turned it into a Christmas card.One of the DT members liked my card so much and asked me to write a blogpost about it. Sorry for…

Recycled fall card

At that time I didn’t know…

Design challenge: Unusual shapes

Design challenge: Unusual shapes This week we received a sketch at Hobby Alternatief with, at least for me, unusual shapes, I don’t know if my college team members made cards like these before, but I haven’t.

I had to do a lot of calculating and measuring…
