Do you set yourself any ‘rules’ in your papercrafting? Do you have any quirks? One of the things I love about papercraft is that there are, of course, no rules, but I still have some personal patterns I seem to follow. One of these is that I don’t like lots of stuff hanging around not being used – if I can’t use it I’ll somehow get rid of it (this applies to everything, not just craft!) I also try to use up a lot of what I have before starting on using new products, such as paper. I don’t always create like this, but it’s a great catalyst to ‘make do’ with what I have and concentrate on that before looking to the new stuff – and less to look at!
I’m not sure where this came from, but I’m rather organised and I don’t like waste, so maybe that has something to do with it…Therefore, before I can start using my new Regency paper pad, I decided to use up as many similar papers and accessories I have before looking at a whole new paper range-make sense so far…? The cards I showed you yesterday are some of these, put together with left-overs, and here’s some more:




Another cool thing about these types of cards is that you can change the occasion just by using a different sentiment See how I’ve used the same design twice, and then added the Kaisercraft rub-ons for different occasions? I’ve also used a lot of different lace, ribbon, flowers, etc.-nearly all from opshops! Anyway, I’ll stop my rambling for the evening-thanks for looking at my work!
