Blog
The main purpose of this blog is an outlet to share how cards were made and put together, a place to post challenges, tips, tricks, and whatever I feel like writing about in my crafting world. This is also the English version of Emma’s blog posts for Hobby Alternatief, which I am a part of.
Creator – Emma
I am from America, but have been living in the Netherlands for many years. I love crafting and have done it for as long as I can remember. One of my first crafty hobby was drawing, which was inspired by my mother. Wanting to further my drawing skills, I would borrow books from the library and teach myself how to draw. Using my self-taught skills and personal creativity, I placed first at age 13 by designing an advertisement for my school’s Book Fair. Besides drawing, my other major hobby as a child was origami, and I would make impressive origami balls (kusudama) to hang around the house. When I was 15, I created an origami display at my local library. My display was so impressive, I was asked to create another display a year later.
As I grew older, I expanded my creative reach by teaching myself jewelry making. I also dabbled in digital graphics by making computer screen wallpapers and web design, all self-taught.
For a time, I had less and less time to be creative. But when I moved to the Netherlands, I met my husband’s grandmother who was into card making, particularly card embroidery and 3-D pictures on cards. This started my cardmaking craze. Meanwhile, I also taught myself how to crochet and cross stitching.
…beautiful things and happiness does not need to cost a lot to create; love is what makes them priceless.
Coming from humble backgrounds, I like to save money. This means I also enjoy finding alternative and/or less expensive ways to do things, which includes crafting. And so I hope to pass on my knowledge as well as show that beautiful things and happiness does not need to cost a lot to create; love is what makes them priceless.
Enjoy yourself here and as always…
Create happiness today!
