Robot

Here's a super cute robot I made from plastic canvas and wool. I saw a version of it on a greetings card and thought I want to make one of those so I had a go using my own pattern. It took a while to make but I'm so pleased with the results!

Letterpress arrived!

So very happy. My lifestyle Crafts letterpress kit arrived today earlier than expected. I ordered it through docrafts along with 3 plate sets and lots of ink at a very good price. Was very worried from online reviews of it that it wouldn't be what i expected, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised. As long as you remember less is more with inking up and remove any excess ink on the back plate it works a treat. I put it through my bigshot earlier and these were my first attempts.
Now as a designer obviously the next step is to design my own plates. Already had a quick search on the net and found a company with a reasonable price for producing them. Hooray. I love this kit, its at a great price on sale and produces very professional results. Perfect. Now to go and experiment more!

Hello

Thought it was about time I started a blog dedicated to all the crafting I do. I love to craft especially if it involves paper. Card making, paper cutting anything really that's handmade. At the moment I cant seem to live without my craft robo, its on constantly! I'm working on a university Final show project that involves lots of bird cards and I cant resist using some paper cut work with it so its very useful. Actually the majority of my university work involves paper. Check it out on my other blog here http://www.jenniferkatydesigns.blogspot.com/ Anyway I love trying out new crafts and sharing ideas with others in fact I ordered a Quickutz/ Lifestyle crafts Letterpress kit today and I cant wait for it to arrive so i can have a go!
