Craft - Update #02

Today was a fun filled day of crafting with my girlfriend. She came to work on her calendar page for a swap she is in and I am slowly but surely progressing my mum's scrapbook album. I have committed to having it done by September 2009, at the absolute latest. I'd say I'm about half way through.

I have done a little bit of card making this weekend while I also reorganised my craft room. The following card was CASED from Lana Murray of Keep It Simply Stamping (K.I.S.S). I liked her card so much I brought the paper pack and made my own card.

There were six sheets of this 6"x6" patterned paper. Since this card turned out so great, I plan to use all six sheets to make more of this type of card, just changing the sentiment on each of them. I like that the card is very simple but also very effective. The colours come to gether really well.

Cup Cake Mania Card - WIP Card Class

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.

Birthday Card - Nicole

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.

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.

Mother's Day 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.
