Bright and Colourful Card

#13

Today I did this card using a few different techniques. I stamped the swirly flower with embossing ink on the card base and embossed it in white. I used a border stamp on the orange paper then glued it to the green paper. i also used the swirly flower with versamark ink on the green paper. I didn't emboss it so it just looks like a water mark. I then cut out birthday on the cricut and glued it on the white paper. The green, orange and white paper is one piece that I popped up with dimensional adhesive. And yes i do realize nothing is on straight, I don't know what's wrong with me today.

Chipboard Art

#12

The chipboard was still out from yesterday so I thought I do something with it. I grabbed a bunch of random pieces and arranged them like a flower. Then I painted then and added some black doodles. Nothing much really but I think it could be cool to put on top of a box or something.

Bows anyone?

#11

After an extremely boring day I decided I would make something a bit different, and by a bit I mean a lot. So I was rummaging through my things and found this scalloped circle piece of chip board. I didn't know what to do with the whole thing since it was pretty big so I cut it to fit the front of a card. I then covered it with some paper and then sat back in my chair and was like, "Well... what am I supposed to do now?" I decided to cut the bottom off the card so the chip board became the bottom and then found some of this teal blue paper and stamped the "CELEBRATE YOU" on it after putting all that on I realized it needed something, i didn't know what, but it needed something. I found some thick ribbon and tied that on. Now I can't decide if I actually like this card but it's something different then the flat rectangular cards that are so normal.

COLOURING!!!

#10

Today I wasn't feeling incredibly crafty so I decided to reminisce with my childhood and colour a picture.

I guess when I was a little kid I didn't notice but now i have realized colouring books have the weirdest pictures.

I'm assuming this is a little boy but don't you think he looks extremely feminine with the big lips and long eyelashes.

And who's letting this kids pick wild mushrooms?!?!?!?!? Don't they know they're probably poisonous?!?!

And if you were looking for something crafty here's a card I made on Sunday.

Tree Painting

#9

I think I might have an obsession with trees. This is the second post into the 2011 Project that has involved trees and whenever I find myself painting it usually involves trees in some way or another. I'm not sure if it's because I have some deeper connection to trees or because they are simply squiggles and they're the only thing i paint. But either way, today i bring to you this not so original piece of work. "Not so original" because I was inspired by (basically copied) a You Tuber. I feel bad that I can give them more credit than that but honestly I can't remember what the channel was called or even when i watched the video. All I remember is watching the video and saying, "Hey, I should try that!" So right when I saw the video I painted the background but then stopped because I couldn't remember what was the bottom so I tried to watch the video again but since i didn't really pay attention to who made the video it was no use. Thus the background stayed on my craft table just waiting to be finished until today when I realized... The sun could either be coming up or going down and since I don't know which side is the bottom, it doesn't really matter.

Inspiration Book

#8

Today I'd thought I'd make a little inspirational book to put all my ideas for videos in. (I have a YouTube channel with my friends if you didn't know)

First I cut a piece of card bored 6 1/2 inches tall and 6 inches wide. At three inches from both sides I scored the card bored to create the spine of the book. I then glued in A LOT of paper to the inside. I then covered the front with some hand painted deli paper. I probably should have done that before gluing the paper in but whatever. On my cricut I cut the channels username with some pinkish coloured pattern paper.

I covered the inside cover with more deli paper.

I wrote "ideas" on another piece of pattern paper then on another piece, "FRIDAY!!!". I connected the two pieces with an eyelet so the "ideas" piece can swivel to reveal my day of the week.

I made a little tutorial video that I'll post on the channel this Friday.

Sewing

#7

My aunt taught me how to sew on paper over the winter break so I thought I'd try it out on this card. I just simply sewed around the edges as sort of a test. I didn't want to add to much else to the card so I layered a whole bunch of white flowers together, added a dew drop and a friend stamp and called it done. NOTE: this card would be a bit hard to send through the mail.
