It’s a boy, paper craft flipbook 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. To mix things up I decided to make this a full post again this time. I have chosen this name for this post because I made this flipbook as a present for my supervisor when they where expecting their first son. My starting point for this flipbook where 5…
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
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…
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…
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. For this card, a real challenge for me, I had to sit down for some time and move the dies that I could use several times over the paper to get the best result. I had to do a lot of calculating…
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…
Technique: Make a wrapped card This weeks assignment for Hobby Alternatief was to make a wrapped card, at the time I made the card I though that I didn’t have the dies to make these so I improvised. I had to do some calculations to get my card with the correct measurements. But I did it. 🙂 I just used a doily die and I cut it in half to make the wraps that would go around the…
I made a new envelope book Can you tell that I loved making this envelope book. This is the third one I made till now, and I think I wil be making at least one more. I made a little video for you to see how it looks in real life. This time I made it with a hard cover, I always wanted to try and make one like that because they are sturdier. I really love the book feel it…
I made a new envelope flip book Yesterday I studied several videos on making an envelope flip book on YouTube and late at night I decided to give it a try myself. 🙂 I used 4 envelopes for this one and made a “spine” to glue them in as pages. I also glue in a front and a back page and matted them all with 2 layers, a soft green one from paper and then I topped them with mats of different…
