I attended another card class at Wrapped In Paper. This class was called "Cup Cake Mania". I really enjoyed making this card and I learnt a new technique, which is always a good thing. I can see myself making several of these cards.
As I've posted before, I had a lot of fun making the never ending flip card at Wrapped In Paper. As such, I made another one for my friend Nicole, who loves the colour green. I'm really happy with how this never ending flip card turned out and I know Nicole was very happy with it.
My work colleague & friend, Kate, got engaged to her partner Dan on Friday. This is the card I wiped up on behalf of the team, congratulating them on their engagement.
I liked the WIP never ending flip card so much that I made one for my friend Elle's birthday. I have used shades of blue. I am very happy with the card.
Last night I made the following card for Mother's Day:
My mum really liked the card. The technique for this card came from a tutorial on You Tube called Spellbinders Nestabilities Origami Flower and it is presented in two parts, which can be located at Part One and Part Two.
I found making this card very simple and quite quick. I actually made three cards in total and let my mum pick the one she liked the best. The other two cards have been uploaded to my picasa web album, FiLoMa's Craft 2009.
Making these Origami flower cards reminded me how much I love my card making. It has been ages since I made any cards, and this is just the start of getting me back into it.
Yesterday, Sunday 05 April 2009, my girlfriend came round for a craft session. We are both participating in Elle's 2010 Black & White calendar swap. My girlfriend worked on her design, whereas I am currently scrap booking my mum's new house. I'm not a scrapper by heart, so I'm finding this a real chore and I know I have very high expectations of myself to do a great job for my mum. When I have finished the project I will upload the pages to my album. In the mean time, I have not really been doing any card making. Still buying craft supplies, but not getting much use out of them. I will be aiming to work on mum's scrap book album today, as well as make a card or two. I will upload the cards when I have finished them.
