Greeting cards using butterflies, flowers and sketches. I had a lot of fun creating the 3 cards for these week, butterflies, flowers and sketches, the first 2 I love to use as embellishments for my cards and boxes. In the blocks below you can link through to the separate posts. For week 19 we had a sketch we had to use to create our cards from. I used 3 panels of coloured paper that I embossed and added a 3D…
Butterflies and doggies. I have been writing blogposts for Hobby Alternatief every week on Friday. I decided to write short updates here instead of the full translated posts. This time I have 3 blogposts for you to read. For week 14 I had the chance to test out a new reveal wheel die set I had bought, I added a stamped images of a girl with her dog to finish the card of. I liked this reveal wheel die set…
This weeks assignment for Hobby Alternatief was to make an up-cycled frame, I couldn’t find one I liked at home so I went to look for an alternative. By change I saved a template a few weeks ago on how to make one from a sheet of card stock, I just needed to find and adjust it to how I wanted
Wall decoration, or is it a card …. who is to say, it can be used as wall decoration, window decoration or a card. I made both sides the same, but I could have left the back blank so you have some space to write the greeting on. I have no idea how long it took me to make it, but most time went into gathering aal the dies I wanted to use, everything else was just cutting and pasting…
Diy Calendar. Each year we received a calendar at work, sadly this year we didn’t get one. The one from last year went till Februari and because we really did ’t get one I decided to make me one, at the same time it’s for my free choice week at Hobby Alternatief . It is pretty easy to make, you just look on the internet for a good template. I use the free templates from freeprintable.net a lot. They have…
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…
Resisting colours cards. 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…
