Creativity in progress

I'm still working on it…

Miss You Card

Number of View: 1410

Hi everybody!

I’m a guest DT for Let’s Capture Our Memories this week. Yay! I won the guest spot with my Chrysanthemum card. Heehee. Many thanks to Sandi, Corinne and all LCOM team!

This week’s challenge is to create a card inspired by this boot.

I printed the image on the back of the cardstock and cut the high heel out.

Animal Box Car

I showed this without the wheels to my 5 year old son who is a toy train addict, and he said it looked like a baby crib. Haha.

PaperWorks Co. Ultimate Summer Challenge #4 – Technique is to design your own background paper. I made this for my DT project for the challenge. I thought I had to use PWCO animal stamps to create the background paper. And, I figured a train full of animals would be a fun project to make.

Stamp the image on the cardstock.

Keep stamping!

Color with markers

Create a box with the hand stamped cardstock.

Stamps: Mikey the Monkey, Harriet the Hippo, Timothy the Tiger from PaperWorks Co.

It’s animal train box. I was hoping to share the template with you on this post, but I got lazy as usual. Any advice on how to overcome procrastination?

Thanks for stopping by!

Whispers from the Soul

I love fantasy layouts created with digital scrapbooking kits. And, to improve my skill, I recently took a Shadows class by Miss Behaving. I thought I understood everything right after her class. But, I was so embarrassed how little I remembered the techniques I learned as I was working on this layout. Definitely need to practice more.

Birthday Cake Hat

12×12 scrapbook layout created for PaperWorks Co. blog.

The photo was taken last December for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I don’t remember why it was only a frosting-less cupcake instead of a nicely decorated cake. I’m sure I bought her the one with frosting, but can’t remember what we did or didn’t do for her birthday. *sigh* Why is my memory getting worse!

Chrysanthemum

I made this card to participate Let’s Capture Our Memories challenge – Die Cuts. Inspired by my friend, Corinne‘s punch flower card. She is a LCOM DT and I’ve been wanting to participate their challenges ever since she joined the team.

I was trying to create a video tutorial for how to make this chrysanthemum, but it didn’t work out. I re-took “Hi, I’m going to show you how to make this flower with Sizzix, ummmm…., blah, blah, blah… ” over and over again. I didn’t think it was that hard to make the video tutorial, but it wasn’t something I could do it without practice. Mumbling in my head was easy, but saying out loud was not comfortable. I wasn’t sure I was using the right word. I thought writing for the blog was hard, but the video was even more challenging. And, I wanted to be a movie star when I was growing up! Thank goodness I didn’t pursue that dream, hehe. I have soooo much more respect for all the crafters who make video tutorial.

Die cut flowers: Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower, Daisies #2
10 small, 6 medium, 6 large flowers. You could add more layers, I just didn’t have the patience and my fingers were aching from all crumbling, hehe.
Using the cardstock papers that have different colors on each side would be pretty, too.

Fold a small flower into half.
Then, roll it together.

Fold another small flower in half.
Wrap it around the first flower.
I used some glue to secure the side and the bottom.

Squished it on the desk to make it curl in.

Now, add the third flower around the first two.

This is the bottom of the flower.
When adding a new layer, make sure not to align the petals with the front layer.

Keep adding more layers. Wrinkle it with your fingers to shape.

It’s a 3×4 hybrid card. Printed on Red River Paper (60 lb. River Linen).
