Hello, and welcome! So we're still getting back to normal here at Tuppence Towers. Decluttering phase 1 is more or less complete, with some items in storage still to be donated or sold. Next step will be to re-arrange what's left! I'm still getting used to my new, streamlined craft supply storage which is my way of saying that I can't find ANYTHING.
Time and space for crafting is still limited. I needed something quick for today's project, so I used some leftover bits from an earlier project and one of the ready-to-go Polka Dot pillow boxes -
Hope you liked it! Keep crafting, Keren Product List
Hello, and welcome! Well, the declutter/destash that's been in progress for the past few weeks (see the last couple of blog posts for details) is almost finished and I begin to have hope that I will be able to actually craft again soon, although it will be a while before I'm back to my normal routine. It's rather frustrating, because SU demonstrators can now order from the Autumn/Winter catalogue (everyone else gets to see it next month) and there's such a lot of lovely things that I want to play with! Anyway, today I'm sharing a project that I completed before all the chaos started.
My crafting roots are in altered art/mixed media/distress/grunge and once in a while I feel inspired to revisit them. The inspiration for this card was a stamped image I saw somewhere. It's technique-heavy, but I hope you like it.
So it's back to the clearing-out for me. This was the last of the projects that I made before we started working our way through years of accumulated stuff so I may be very quiet for a while, but I will be back. Hope I'll see you soon! Keep crafting, Keren Product List
One of the benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that you get the chance to go
to the On Stage events.They happen
twice a year, in April and November.Among other things, you get to see the new catalogue and to see new
products demonstrated before anyone else does.
At the last On Stage in November, among the featured items was
the Geared up Garage suite of products.Now,
I do love a bit of Steampunk so I was very interested when we were shown how to
make cardstock look like rusty metal using SU inks and embossing powder.
It’s taken me a while to get around to playing with this technique
and here’s the result!
I did add my own twist to the technique too.Here’s what I did –
When I started this project, I was focusing on the technique
so didn’t really have a finished item in mind.I was originally thinking that I’d put the gears onto a greeting card,
but in the end I decided that they’d look good on a little box.I added some texture to the box too, and it
all looks wonderfully grungy!
I’m all booked for April On Stage later this month and I’m
getting so excited about it, I can’t wait to see what will be in the 2019-20
Annual catalogue…I love being a SU demo!
