Cards Share / Sweet Cards Using Wilna's Design / 作品分享

    Hi there, crafty friends. We have a beautiful February Sunday in Taiwan today, which makes me feel creative. XD. 

  I bought Wilna's mini workshop class from iHeartStudio, which is called Heart Layers. I love these designs so much, well, I LOVE ALL Wilna's designs. They are so adorable and are easy to use on cards as well. Wilna is well-known for her fabulous mixed media techniques and colors. She makes wonderful layouts and projects. Visit Wilna's blog if you don't know her yet. You'll gonna love her.

  For the first card, I used a piece of homemade pattern paper as my card base. It's easy to make your own ones, just grab your sharpie and draw lines. The beauty of the design is imperfection.

  Then I layered a couple of ephemera from Maggie Holme's Shine Collection as my vocal point of the card. Embellishing with the adorable owl image from Wilna's cut file(using my silhouette cameo), and some DIY enamel dots.

  For my second card, I made a note card. Embellishing with the cute owl image from iHeartStudio and a gold heart die-cut from Maggie Holme's Shine Collection. It just couldn't be any easier!

    二月的天氣溫暖得像初夏，溫度宜人，陽光充足；唯一不好的就是空汙了吧....

   今天要分享的兩張卡片非常簡單，就連卡片底紙都是用手畫的線條。把畫好的卡紙對折後，再妝點一些可愛的圖案或是金蔥膠帶就可以完成一張漂亮的卡片。

  這次的主題重點是以前介紹過的加拿大設計師，叫做 Wilna Furstenberg，她在2017年陸續推出新的設計和迷你課程，這次卡片採用的設計是叫做 Heart Layers的迷你課程，內容非常豐富，購買之後除了10個作品的教學影片之外，還可以下載她的設計圖案---非常可愛的貓頭鷹小姐。

    再搭配Maggie Holme的圖卡(Shine 系列)以及自製的寶珠貼劑(前一篇po文有介紹)，簡單的卡片就完成啦。

新年快樂! / Happy New Year & Card Share

    2017新年快樂！！

    停止PO文了一陣子不是閉關去了，其實是因為平時工作忙碌之外，還因為最近靈感缺失。雖然這段期間仍有斷斷續續的創作，但是處於非常隨性的狀態之下，謬絲女神(男神?)也就離我遠遠的~~  囧

    新的一年呢，期許自己多存點錢，工作上細心有衝勁，貴人運旺旺~~ 。在手作方面希望今年產量大大提高，多方面嘗試沒碰過的媒材，多消耗已有的材料和庫存，還有，少買一點  囧

    希望2017丁酉年順心如意，平安健康。

Project Share / Another Flipbook Using Heidi Swapp September Sky Colllection & MHC#16

Hello, crafty friends, I hope you all had a great weekend. I've been addicted to making flipbooks lately, so I made another flipbook to share today featuring Heidi Swapp September Sky collection. I love this collection so much that I have to hoard both 12 inch and 6 inch paper stack, along with coordinating die-cut shapes, sticker, stamp set and color shine sprays. XD

In this project, I used mint, gold, gray and soft pink as my color scheme. I also followed Tmika's tutorial showing how to use 4 envelopes to make a base.

See how beautiful it is when mint and gold and glitter meet together.

On the fist page, I used MFT die to cut several letters from a glitter cardstock, stamped "Darling" from Amy Tangerine's stamp set and decorated the page with washi tape and die-cut shapes from September Sky collection. I made two extra pages between the 1st and 2nd page with a clear cardstock and journaling cards, decorating with some washi and glitter tape. 

The stickers on the right flip page are cut out from a washi tape designed by a Taiwan's company. So cute!

The 3rd and 4th page. They took me almost a whole day to decorate them. I was stuck by these two pattern paper. I love these two paper, but they just didn't go well together. After several tries and failed, finally I had to use a vellum cardstock to separate the busy floral pattern on the right. 

I made an envelope tucking some embellishments and page flags inside.

Honestly, I was exhausted decorating this page, so I kept it simple. XD.

I made a garland using glitter and gold foil washi tape. And them I stamped the cute little bunny with MFT stamp set, colored with color pencils and then used the coordinating die to cut it out.

In order to take this month's MHC challenge, I made a shaker tag using WRMK fuse tool and a page protector. Filling some sequins and decorating with some stickers and die-cuts, DONE!

Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by.

在上一篇的貼文裡有提到flipbooks. 我趁著這幾天連假又做了第二本flipbook. 這一次使用了薄荷綠, 金色, 灰色和淡粉色作為整本flipbook的主色調。剛好魔力手作挑戰這個月的題目是搖搖卡，於是做了一張小卡呼應。



搖搖卡(shaker card / shaker tag)是用WRMK的魔法相片口袋工具組(fuse tool)和透明文件資料袋做的，如果妳/你剛好不知道甚麼是fuse tool, 可以搜尋一下youtube影片，這是一個必備的好工具!(這不是一篇勸敗文，這不是一篇勸敗文，這不是一篇勸敗文)

小卡上面的sweet是用kesi art的刀模切出來的，小鴨子和小熊則是市面上的書局買得到的貼紙。搭配在一起是不是超可愛的!!!! 大心。搖搖卡用迷你小木夾夾著，收到的人可以拿下來再利用。

封面是清爽的薄荷綠搭配金色，這整本小書的美編紙和許多圖卡都是來自Heidi Swapp的九月天空系列(September Sky)，我非常喜歡這個系列，不論是紙本還是圖卡，甚至印章和主色調的噴瓶我都有買。Heidi家的噴瓶有細微的珠光，顏色非常漂亮，想購入噴瓶的人可以參考一下她的設計(這不是一篇勸敗文，這不是一篇勸敗文，這不是一篇勸敗文) 。happy是用mama elephant的刀模切出來的。(我已經寫不下去了怎麼辦?!)

這本flipbook其實有點難產，花了不少時間和心思來做，除了花時間自己做小配件之外，主要是因為我選的美編紙放錯順序，導致第3頁和第4頁的花色衝突，在做好了拆掉，拆了又做之後，最後決定加入水晶卡來區隔，幸好最終出來的成品還可以，不然這本得被我丟在一邊等待哪天回收利用了   囧

為了避免有勸敗的嫌疑，我決定放照片就好.......

這真不是為了偷懶......

這就是讓我苦思冥想了一天的第3頁第4頁。沒想到水玉和花卉竟然這麼不合群，完全不聽我指揮，明明應該是絕配啊..... 最後我不得不當拆散人家姻緣的劊子手，拿張水晶卡把兩頁分開，於是我又多了兩頁要裝飾........

這一頁除了搖搖卡之外，我最喜歡的就是小兔子了。印章和刀模是來自My Favorite Things(MFT)，為了要展現出水彩的效果，我用油性鉛筆上色。是的，客倌你沒看錯，是油性鉛筆，不是水彩。淺色水印印台蓋印之後先用水筆沾水沿著圖案邊緣抹一圈，淡化圖案的線條，然後挑幾個顏色柔和的油性鉛筆上色。

水桶裝番茄的圖案是貼紙，剛好也是水彩風，所以我把圖案和隔離紙一起剪下來貼到其他卡紙上再一次剪下來，小兔子也只是點上一點膠，這樣貼紙就可以給收到的人用了。

看到這裡妳終於可以鬆一口氣了，感謝妳/你耐心地看完這麼落落長的文(其實要不是為了避免淪為勸敗文，我完全可以再寫個500字.....)，有一些省略的步驟我沒寫到，所以如果妳/你從前一篇到這一篇還是不清楚flipbook怎麼做，或者真的很想要我一個步驟一個步驟的介紹的話，請來信問我吧~~~

Project Share / My first flipbook (小書)

Flip books and pocket letters are very trendy right now. As both of them are alternative forms of snail mail, I would like to participate in it, though I don't have any penpal to sent for now. XD

After researching some popular posts on Youtube and Instagram, I got a few points to make my version of flip book. I also followed Tmika's tutorial(scrapdaworld) using envelopes to make the base.




I used a lot of die-cuts, ephemera, shapes, cut-outs, pattern paper, tags, washi tapes to decorate the flip book. Oh, I also made myself a tassel from floss! Lots of FUN!

The "LOVE" was cut from Maggie Holmes's paper(Shine collection), added some watercolor and foam tape to pop them out.

The brown paper pocket was made out of a Kraft envelope, put some stickers and washi.

*************************************************************

不知道大家有沒有注意到最近國外很風行的手作--pocket letters 和 flipbooks。這兩種都是snail mail的延伸，所謂的snail mail在字意上叫蝸牛郵件，顧名思義是指非電子郵件，而是利用傳統的書寫方式貼上郵票拿到郵局去寄的郵件，簡單來說是一種反璞歸真，回歸文字與紙筆，利用遞送的距離與等待的時間，讓文字的溫度重新串聯情感的方式，其實就像是以前學生時代寫信交筆友那樣。而pocket letters 和flipbooks是由此變化而來的，利用類似棒球收集卡透明袋，或用紙張/信封作成小書(像相本)，內容除了個人的資料(如姓名，興趣嗜好)之外，放一些小東西送給筆友。我之前也做過pocket letters，改天再放上來跟大家分享。

這本flipbook是看了Youtube上一個彩印人(Tmika)的教學影片後做的，她是利用四個信封做成小書，然後貼上美編紙之後再開始裝飾小書，我在做封面的時候書背處貼上紙蕾絲然後用拼貼膠加強，還加了緞帶這樣就可以綁起來。

左手邊那個粉橘色的流蘇是利用繡線自己做的，流蘇這個元素現在在美編界也很風行，不只相簿美編看得到，連手帳也能看到流蘇的蹤跡。我用迴紋針夾在封面，收到這本小書的人還可以把它拆下來再利用。其他幾頁就用一些小卡，圖卡，刀模，和紙膠帶來裝飾，我還利用信封和格拉新紙做了小紙袋貼在裡面，然後塞了一些小卡和貼紙送人。雖然沒幾頁，但是著實花了不少時間，不過真的很有趣，我打算再做幾本來玩。

除了這次用信封來做小書之外，還有另一種更簡單的方式來製作手翻書的本體，那就是用三張雙面美編紙(或是六張單面美編紙(背貼背))，以和紙膠帶黏貼串聯起來，有興趣的人也可以搜尋一下相關貼文和影片，動手作作看喔！

PS: flipbooks挺難翻譯成中文，如果有人有更貼切或更正式的稱呼請跟我說喔

Card Making / Chocolate Love for MHC#15 魔力手作挑戰#15

    Hello! Happy Wednesday.  We finally got lovely sunshine after a coupe of weeks of cold weather and rain. As spring is in the air, it couldn't be better to see sunshine out there.  Today I have a card to share with you. This month, More Handmade Challenge asks participants to make projects with hot cocoa. You can use the shape, the color or the image of  hot cocoa.

    As a big fan of mint chocolate, I know I have to use this color combo on my project. I think it's a good idea to bring some fresh and bright colors in this season. To start off, I  used a triangle shape stencil with Crack Pistachio Distress Ink, and then used Hot Fudge Hybrid Ink from MFT to stamp my sentiments.  I also stamped some splattered images from Hero Arts with a yellow dye ink.

    After finishing my background paper, I died cut a piece of yellow pattern paper with MFT's wonky stitched rectanle die, letters(from PTI) and a polaroid frame(from Maggie Holmes). I also stamped a couple of cute images on a white cardstock, colored with my watercolor, and then fussy cut them out.  After all decorative accents were ready, all I needed to do is to put them together.

*******************************************************************************************************

    下了幾個星期的雨，太陽終於露臉了！遲來的春天的氣息，一掃之前的潮濕與陰冷。在寒冷的溫度之下，來杯熱巧克力暖暖身子簡直不要太幸福！

    這個月的魔力手作挑戰的主題是熱可可。一想到熱可可就是巧克力做的，我決定把最愛的薄荷巧克力拿來當作靈感，決定了主色之後，接下來就是找一些搭配的色系和圖案來用。在構思這張卡片的時候其實前前後後搭配了好幾種構圖，因為自製的背景底紙比較複雜，最後決定用比較簡單的圖案來搭配。

    介紹一下這次自製的美編紙，我先用型板刷了薄荷綠的顏色，刷的時候只要這裡一點顏色，那裡一點顏色就好，不用把整張卡紙都刷滿，然後用MFT的松露巧克力印台來蓋所有的字章。

    在蓋的時候，大字章是我的主要重點，所以沾了印台就直接蓋在卡紙上，然後小的長條型字章則是蓋過一次之後直接蓋第二次，讓兩種深淺的咖啡色蓋滿卡紙，又不會因為顏色太重而讓人眼花撩亂。最後我還蓋了一些噴濺的圖案，當然如果你沒有這種印章，直接拿把刷子沾顏料灑一些在卡紙上也可以，我用印章蓋是因為這樣比較好控制。

    由於美編紙已經很花俏了，所以搭配的圖案或圖卡要盡量選用同一個色調的，重點突出的顏色不必很大片，有畫龍點睛的效果就好，這樣才能讓卡片看起來平衡又有抓人眼球的地方。

Card Making / Thanks

Hello, me again. In this post I'm sharing another card I made.

In this card I used Betsy Veldman's Technique called "smooshing" . 

I saw the technique on Papertrey Ink's Monday Challenge Vedio on youtube.

Betsy is a super talented paper crafter. I love her designs for Papertrey Ink. 

I really admire her uses of color and tastes on card making.

If you don't know her, you should definitely head onto Betsy's blog.

It's a very fun technique to make your own background.

Combining with some Maggie Holme and Heidi Swapp's products, the card was done.

Supplies

Paper: Stamper's Select White cardstock from PTI, watercolor cardstock

Inks: Wild Honey, Spun Sugar, Shaded Lilac and Salty Ocean from Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Others: Ephemeras from Open Book by Maggie Holme and September Sky by Heidi Swapp, sequins, gems.

-----------------------------------------------

今天要跟大家介紹一位我超喜歡的彩印人: Betsy Veldman。

她是印章公司 Papertrey Ink 的主力設計師之一

在去年一年裡更是推出了好幾套限量的印章和刀模

我最喜歡的是她對色彩的運用

她的卡片常呈現出一種溫暖，愉悅，多采多姿的感覺

她跟另一位PTI的設計師 Danielle Flanders是我最喜歡的三位設計師之中的兩位

另一個設計師 Laura Bassen會在以後介紹

Betsy Veldman 和 Danielle Flanders兩人的卡片風格都是簡單乾淨，明亮

但是在媒材的運用上又有不同

Danielle很會運用美編紙和一些圖卡，刀模來做簡潔的卡片

她的卡片有時候甚至不需要用到印章

而Betsy則是運用印章和印台的組合搭配出很多超棒的卡片

她對刀模的運用也很有創意

也喜歡Clean and Simple卡片風格的人可以點上面的鏈接去看看喔!

忘了跟大家介紹一下這張卡片的作法了

哈哈哈哈哈哈

(別K我啦~~~)

這張卡片就是用了Betsy Veldman的水彩技法

其實也不是多新的技法

但是看她在運用的時候就會覺得很簡單，很容易上手

首先準備一張透明塑膠片，塑膠袋，壓克力塊什麼的都可以

經過幾次試驗之後，我個人比較喜歡Betsy示範的作法

拿一張跟水彩紙大小一樣或大一點的透明塑膠片

拍上幾個喜歡的復古印台，水性印台也可以

然後噴一些水在透明片上，水分不要太多，只要讓顏色充分沾濕就好

然後蓋在水彩紙上

因為是把透明片蓋在紙上，所以可以清楚看到色彩的流動

比起Tim Holtz把顏色擦在矽膠墊，然後把卡紙覆蓋上去的作法更清楚

這時要注意顏色的流動

如果水分噴得不夠多，顏色就不會流動

但是水太多的話，顏色就會融在一起變成不乾淨的顏色了

背景準備好後放一邊晾乾

係地，人客哪系某耐性，耶賽嘎吹風機，不是，熱風槍客踹吹吼搭

(這句看得懂否?)

最後選一些搭配的圖卡，紙花，亮片，水鑽......  堆上去就是了

很有美感地排列

卡片就完成啦!!!

系恩系揪甘丹耶!

Card Making / Be Mine

I just can't wait to share this card with you! This card is inspired by Joni, a very talented lovely card maker, who is really good at watercoloring. Joni is Wplus9 design team member. She created a lot of amazing cards. I just love her style. You can head off her blog to see what she creates.

Here's her blog:Papell with Love

I cut the beautiful flowers from Wilna's cut file. And I randomly watercolored them. 

I also used some gorgeous ephemera from Crate Paper's Open Book collection by Maggie Holmes. This is an awesome line. If you don't have just head over to Simon Says Stamp to grab one. I glued all the elements on a white wood grain card stock. Finally I sprayed some gold color shine mist from Heidi Swapp as my finish touch. 

Very simple and easy card.

這張卡片的靈感是來自一個很棒的彩印人--Joni. 

我從Wplus9的部落格看到她的作品之後簡直愛上她了

她擅長水彩和乾淨漂亮的風格

完全是我的菜啊!!!!

卡片裡的花草是用卡密歐切的，用了Wilna的設計

這位彩印人設計了很多自己畫的花花草草

她最擅長的領域是美編，風格也是我喜歡的水彩和簡單乾淨

有興趣的話也可以去她的部落格裡看看

花草切好後用水彩上色

然後搭配Crate Paper的設計師Maggie Holmes的Open Book系列

最後用金色的噴瓶灑幾滴當作點綴

希望大家會喜歡

Supplies:

Silhouette Cameo, Crate Paper Open Book Collection, watercolor, Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Mist in Gold Lame
