More cards...

Here's another couple of cards I made this week. As always, both designs are so simple, even a 5 year old could do it.

In this card, I opted to use one of the Kirigami designs for as main piece.

Speaking of Kirigami, I like this design. Very celtic....

My first card...and more Kirigami

I must say, I've been a right crafty little bugger this evening. I made my first card, even designed it myself.

Although I admit it's not exactly the most professional looking handmade card in the world, the photo taken on my crappy camera phone does not do it any justice - you can't even see the little stamps in the 4 corners which read 'It's Your Day'...

Oh well at least I had fun making it.

I know I said I wouldn't take a picture of every single kirigami design I cut out, but I really liked this one - has a really ancient symbol feel to it....

Kirigami: My new love

Just before the xmas break, I once popped into an arts&craft store (I pop into this store, probably more often than is considered healthy).

As I browsed the store one shelf caught my eye, as it is was stacked with desktop calenders, all craft related. Being a selfish brat that I am, I just had to have one, and proceeded to take years deciding which one I should purchase - I even considered buying more than one!!

In the end I opted for the one, that would be the least time consuming, simple and yet so effective - Kirigami, an ancient Japanese art form.

The above image is 1st January, a pretty snowflake that took less than 5 mins to produce.

I have no intention of taking a picture of every single one I cut out and uploading here, as that would be ridiculous, but I will from time to time upload the designs I particularly like.

Who knows? I may even gain the confidence to create my own designs.....
