Drawing the printable templates for my flower lessons, I asked myself: Ok, what if you make them Cricut files? Also, a client of mine somehow pushed me to think in this direction. Buying my tutorial, she asked is it possible to make SVG or PNG files. Adding the printable templates I was curious why she… Continue reading
This July 4th craft idea is useful for hand cutting, for hand cutting machines or plotters. This craft idea is about flowers. Why flowers? Because they work everywhere – they are the perfect gift and decoration. And only by changing the colours – you can change their meaning too. Gentle spring colours will be great… Continue reading
Proteas are one of my favourite flowers. As you know, I grew up in Europe and even if we have all these amazing and beautiful flowers, we don’t have the “exotic” ones. For me, all the lands outside of Europe have such amazing plants, almost alien, which are impossible to not attract a flower lover’s… Continue reading
There is something about Peonies that attracts almost every woman. Maybe this is the specific messiness of the flower or maybe the huge variety of shapes and colour shades. Or could it be a reminder of a better time, a desire to return to the past in a beloved Granny’s garden in the past and… Continue reading
Maybe you don’t know, but I grew up in a socialist country where the craft materials were very limited and difficult to find. When the rest of the world was enjoying all their craft creation possibilities, we had to find ways to substitute materials which were missing in the shops in order to have any… Continue reading
I still have a lot of wonderful cardboard packaging pieces from our IKEA kitchen island… And as you know, I am a paper addict, so I can hear them calling me to involve them in different projects. And what else to do in this day, when strong winds are blowing from the North and thick… Continue reading
A long, long time ago, when I was working in the morning TV show, my strongest memory from the writers’ desk is of a very sad Orchid with absolutely no flowers, looking like a dry brown stick in a pot. I don’t actually remember this Orchid ever having flowers. Sure, it was flowering, maybe when… Continue reading
This project was inspired by a tree in the garden of a coastal villa on the Black sea. Despite it being the beginning of winter and there were no flowers, it was gorgeous! The leaves were so shiny and healthy, looking like they were not real. I never thought of Magnolias as attractive plants before,… Continue reading
Paper gives us very tactile and cerebral experiences at the same time. Thinking about paper throughout the span of history, we can imagine all the crafts and information, all the great discoveries written and saved on paper. And it is amazing how so many materials and uses are always changing, but paper and paper crafts… Continue reading
My husband and I are not general TV viewers, but there are some rare moments, when we feel like watching something – mostly when we’re stuck in a hotel room. And once we found the, “Through the worm hole” series with Morgan Freeman on Discovery Science and became fans. Recently, because of the Covid-19 situation… Continue reading
People say that the real crafter has no rubbish at home… So, after our new IKEA cupboards were installed in our kitchen, a huge pile of gorgeous cardboard was piled up in the corridor, I decided to behave like a real paper crafter. For almost a whole evening I was sitting on the floor with… Continue reading
If you are a paper-oriented person, maybe you already have a planner. I have two in everyday use. One for my lists which I call my “book of lists” and there I jot down every craft idea that comes into my head, every “coin” I earn with my small business, every little thing, which needs… Continue reading
