Alternative stamped 3D card This weeks assignment was to make a stamped 3D card were we could only use stamps and dies, by coincidence I had bought a few stamp sets at a store in the next village that would be perfect for this I used a 15 by 10,5 cm beige base card and i added a light grey mat that is 15,5 x 10 cm. Before I added the mat I stamped the holy random all over it…
Recycled fall Is there anything more beautiful then the colours of the leaves before they fall.I made this card with Autumn in my mind, I used several recycled materials in it.Some you normally wouldn’t use. It took a long time for the glue that I used to dry but I’m happy with the end result. I went into our garden to look for little useful items and found a little twig that was suitable. At that time I didn’t know…
DIY stamps There is nothing more fun then trying out things, especially when they turn out right.This was the case with these DIY stamps that I made for this weeks assignment of Hobby Alternatief I have always wanted to try to stamp with painters tape and now was the perfect time to actually give it a go. I used my acrylic blocks to wrap the painters tape around, making sure that the tape wouldn’t overlap itself. While wrapping the tape I…
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…

Tarnished Foil This weeks theme for Hobby Alternatief was Tarnished Foil, I had no clue of what that was.I knew paper foil and I know metals can tarnish but I never saw it on paper so I went to youtube,My to go to place when I need to know something about techniques and “how to’s”.And with watching one video I knew what to make. Finally I could use one of my gears embossing folders and a few of my gears cutting dies….
Free Choice Was this week theme for Hobby AlternatiefI had a hard time with this one, I had so many idea’s in my head and didn’t know which one to choose 😏 When there is a theme it is much easier, but Free Choice, I already made 4 cards and the 5th was in the making and I just couldn’t choose.One of the founders told me that I had to have my blogpost ready so she could look at it…
