  Hi there! A male project is a challanging experience! I haven't yet had a situation where I immediately know what I'm going to come up with when such an order comes in. I have a trick for this, which so far has worked out great. I ask my lovely customers about the likes and hobbies of the gentleman receiving the card. Someone would say I'm complicating things for myself, but for me it really is making it easier. It takes me a while to figure out how to use the information I've gathered, but then the work just rolls on by itself. So, as you can guess, this time it was a gentleman with a love of motorbikes.

I cut out small elements from the cover of the collection: a woman with suitcases, kittens on chains and a motorbike. I glued these small elements with cardboard underneath for a 3D effect. The edges of the base are stitched on the...

I start my work description with the base. The paper is DCWV, I love the texture, weight and design. I'm slowly running out of The Old World collection but I already know that I will soon be in possession of an absolute firecracker in the scrap paper world. I...

How did you spend our crafty day? Shopping is done? Do you take part in competitions? At my profile, a contest is waiting for you: just make any project for a man using 3D flowers and submit your design on my Fb profile here . You can win the products of the brands that I used during the live stream, worth $65 (AUD) - you are more than welcome to join us! It's an oblong panel in blue shades, which I'll give as a gift to my husband on the occasion of our 10th wedding anniversary. I have hereby made an attempt to create a design for a man, but with the use of delicate elements such as lace, bows and 3D flowers. The broadcast lasted only an hour, I had to fit in this time, because the next person with her project was coming after me. So I prepared everything I could in advance, b...
