Disney Cards

So I decided to make a bit of a different style of blog today.

A week or so ago I shot a film of myself making some Disney-inspired cards and have now compiled it into a 3-minute video. I am merely experimenting with this format, I shall wait and see if there will be any more of this kind of thing :)

Here are some more pictures of my card-making-ness:

Princess Tiana [Princess and the Frog]:

And no the dots are NOT meant to be her face!! It was a sad moment after hours and hours of work to realise she had a funny-looking face-like face...

The Rapunzel one didn't turn out so well.... I hat a lot of issues with the hair, especially with the way everything was layered... I've actually un-glued and re-glued a lot of this card since these pictures/video haha!

Princess Rapunzel [Tangled]:

I apologise to everyone who I told off for talking in the background of my typewriter footage, but I can get rather fixated when doing creative stuff and doing it properly... the footage didn't turn out so great anyway so whatever!

Right now I am quite frustrated, after researching to make sure that Louis Armstrong's song  "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" was old enough to have no more copyright, I still got slammed on youtube for breaching copyright T-T

I could have taken the liberty of using a modern cool song which would definitely have breached copyright in hope of attracting more viewers, but no, I still get in trouble for using aged-songs that no-one alive can honestly take credit for!

One day I'll do something right, one day...

Study Break Craft

So I'm currently in the middle of my final school exams, the HSC.

I thought it would be a good study relief, and friendly exercise, to make some good-luck cards for all my friends :)

Each card has a patterned paper backing, and the front has a short message of encouragement and fun stickers and stencil-drawings and clips! They also have a string of buttons and pendents, either their name letter or something random (why would a packet have three O's and a number of obscure letters like Z, but no ordinary K's, C's, J's or N's?!)

Here are some of my favourites. I just love patterned paper :D

An excellent relief from study, however now I'm fully in the academic zone :) 2 exams down, 5 to go!

Cardmaking

Yesterday I went on a cardmaking spree with my friend as we watched the third series of Doctor Who, although it was rather distracting from the show in the end so I had to stop being all crafty!

Spotlight was selling huge bags of craft stuff for $5, so we were overloaded with fabulous ribbons, stickers, pins, patterned paper and stuff I had never even dreamed of.

Here are some of my final products:

The blank spaces are for writing short greetings such as 'Happy Birthday' or 'Congratulations' when the time comes :)

Just looking at them makes me feel happy!! Just what I need for some study relief :) Can't wait to have more time for this kind of thing!

Around the world.

Yesterday I went on a creative splurge to make a card for my brother returning from overseas :) I really like the colours in this photo he took of the trusty bike that got him around the different countries. I discovered some awesome tissue paper under my bed which had a world map printed onto it and decided to get arty!! It didn't quite turn out how I hoped, you're supposed to see the beginning and end destinations in the background, but perhaps there's not quite enough room to identify locations....

Also, it turned out that if I had just stuck the picture over the world map, one of the destinations would not be able to fit! So with some sneaky folding behind the picture I may have warped the map a little so as to fit onto the card!! But it is fairly to-scale ;)

It's nice to have little creative jobs to do every now and then in this time of complete boredom of essays, study notes and you-should-not-be-doing-anything-but-schoolwork-ness.
