Welcome back to another challenge from Love to Craft where we love seeing all your projects.
I used to just call myself a card maker - but oh I have so many cards cluttering up my craft room. I can't sell them - sometimes I can't even give them away and I sometimes lose the mojo to create just another card which is going to sit in a cupboard. What do you all do with your cards? I'd love to know - drop me a comment.
As I've delved into the world of Mixed Media over the years I'm finding it really is my happy place crafting wise especially making little books. Luckily there does seem to be a bit of a market for me for these and I have been selling them on Etsy much to my surprise.
My latest addition was this little beauty. A little accordion book on the theme of birds. What I love is that I'm making them with supplies I already have - and recycling old packaging at the same time. The little cover for this one was made with an old cat food box. That cardboard is just shouting out to be re-used.
I used stamps by Tracy Evans Boutique Designs and Tim Holtz. I also used some of Tim's collage paper called Aviary.

This is amazing Fiona, so much detail and interest in a small space, I love it! I k ow what you mean about cards … I don’t actually need that many so I have about drawer full at home, which just sit there! I can seem to use the birthday cards I make, but most of the generic or motivational ones never get used! I’d love to get more into mixed media but I don’t really have the imagination to know where to start with eg. journalling x
Hi Pauline - this little one was a youtube tutorial by Tracy so you should try it. I did message you about if you wanted to join my group so you could send out some of those cards x
