Happy Holiday season everyone!
Let’s create some easy-to-make Christmas cards together: shop your stash (I did! 😃) and make good use of the tips, tricks & tutorials I’m sharing with you in the below videos! Let me know what you think in the comments.
Have a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
You can watch my free video tutorial for my deconstructed envelope card here:
Hope you found these tips & tutorials helpful, either for your Christmas cards or for any other occasion!
Recently I bought two of the Sydney Grace x Temptalia eyeshadow palettes, and found the packaging so lovely that I couldn’t bring myself to simply get rid of those wondrous sleeves, never to be seen again.
So, I turned them into a tea gift booklet, that I sent out to my friend. And let me tell you, that re-purposing was far more satisfying than simply throwing them out. 🙂
I didn’t use any design paper this time, just the two sleeves. For the inside and the two tiny booklets, I made my own mixed media background, using Tim Holtz’s spray and oxide inks.
In the below video I’m sharing this tea gift project, and the steps to create it. Enjoy!
The other day I bought new bed linens – very colorful ones of course, as I generally tend to feel attracted to colorful things. They were packaged in plastic with a cardboard wrapper which displayed a picture of what the linens would look like once unpacked. And it was that cardboard picture I used to create this card!
The colors were simply amazing and I embellished only a little here and there. Did have to mat the inside and backside of the card of course, and for this I used some Studio Light papers.
In the video you can see the actual linens by the way 🙂
So anyway, this week my tip is to look beyond your design paper pads and check out other options – like cardboard wrappers of bed linens 🙂
