Spring 3D Easter box card!

So, I have been crazily working on 3D pop-up cards - they are just so much fun to make, and look adorable! Here is one I had made for Easter wishes.

The handmade pop-up greeting card is like a Pandora's box - featuring a cute hand sketched, and water colored Easter bunny with goggle eyes, sitting in a garden holding a huge Easter egg. I made the card super fun and bright.. which is generally not my style, but I loved how it turned out!

Craft Market stall experience 3.0

Thanks to everyone who came to my third stall at the North Essendon Craft Market this Easter, on 26 March, 2016. Hope you had an amazing Easter weekend! 

Here is me all smiles at the beginning of the day after the set up:

For this month's stall, I had been working my way through more purchases since I had some inventory ready. I had a good stock ready for my photo albums, so I created some newer baby gifts and generic fun cards for Easter, and other occasions like weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. 

I bought two trestle tables, and got corresponding fitted table covers stitched. I wanted a rustic, vintage-y table runner, so I had been rummaging through the stores to find one I could use. I kind of knew I wanted something to do with burlap, but wasn't happy with the plain burlap found in the stores.  

So, I made my half-way across the Melbourne city to go to a cafe selling old coffee bean bags. They had heaps and heaps to choose from, and I ended up picking five of the same print (what are the odds?!) I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with all of them, and what size I required, but I knew I wanted them in my life!! I just love the rustic prints. They are just so full of character, fun and unique! 

Behind the Scenes - Explosion box!

Every project takes so much time and patience from start to finish to get everything perfect! Here are some photos I have taken while creating the Butterfly Explosion box. Had the best time – creating, taking pictures, more creating, and enjoying the creative process from start to finish.

Papercuts and trims - Getting measurements right is the first step to every project!
