A creative new year It’s the last week from this year and I want to wish all of you a happy, healthy and a creative new year up front.For this week I had a free choice and what could I have made better then this fast and easy card. I only used a 210g A4 black card stock to make this card, there was a little piece left that you can use on an other project if you want. I…
An origami pinwheel card I decided to make an origami pinwheel card for this weeks challenge. I had to think long on how to do it and started looking on Youtube for examples, and I finally came up with an idea for the Christmas origami challenge. 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 15…
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…
A silver green Christmas By now you all know that with the DT Team from Hobby Alternatief we get a sketch every month to work from, this time we had one as well.This time I have chosen to make a silver green Christmas card I’m still sorry for my short blogposts from the past weeks, I still have to be careful using my left hand and writing two blogposts is to much for my hand at the moment. I will be writing longer posts…
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…
Christmas card in 3 colours A while ago Willie and Anita form Hobby Alternatief asked us to choose 2 colours with my base colour being white.It was a nice surprise, we “had” to make a christmas card with only 3 colours.The usual christmas colours where already spoken for so I choose white, as base colour of course and then grey and red.I used a ready made white base card from 15 by 15 cm and used 2 mats both white, one…
Sketch: world animal day We received a sketch again at Hobby Alternatief but this time it had a catch.We had to make a card with the world animal day for next month the 4th in mind.Lucky me that I had bought tons of animal stamps and dies in the past 2 year.For this card I decided to use one of my cat themed stamps.I choose to use a 13cm by 13cm beige base card and some confetti DSP, from…
Ink, a stamp and squares The assignment we had from Hobby alternatief for this week was to use squares, ink and a stamp, I had to think longer over this one then what I usually do.My head stayed blank for a while because the shape stays square how ever you use it and I don’t like working with multiple geometric shapes on 1 project. At first I thought of placing the shape 3 or 4 time side by side…
Working with sketches For Hobby Alternatief we get a theme every week and every month we are working with a template, at least 1 time each month. For this month we had to use the sketch I showed above. I like working with sketches, and then build them up, I have a board on Pinterest where I safe a bunch of them for when I’m not sure how I want a card to look.To be honest I have saved them there but haven’t…
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….
