May We Get Unconventional?

5 May

… with materials that is! Yes, it’s a new month with a new theme and May’s is “Unconventional Materials”! It’s time to think outside of the box (or cut up that box). Eileen Hull has challenged her Teams (and you) to create projects that use her dies with materials and substrates you wouldn’t normally think of crafting with. We are expecting to see some very creative makes from everyone so keep your eyes on the blog and join us in the Fan Club to share your projects.

Karen Bearse is starting us off strong with the unconventional material of… beer cans! She made this totally cool Pocket Notebook journal for her husband using the cans from some of his favorite beverages. Wow! She is sharing the Part 1 tutorial for making the cover on her blog now (stay tuned for more).

Julia Aston is getting organized in her craft room with custom “bits and bobs” sorters made using the Stacking Drawer Die and a plastic placemat. (Check out what she used for the handles too!) I agree with Julia that she needs to make many, many more of these cute little organizers. See how she did it on her blog!

Lisa Hoel will have her official “unconventional materials” project posted later in the month. For now she is sharing a journal that is more of an “unconventional format” project. 😉 Visit her blog for tons of photos and a tutorial about her Day & Night reversible journal made with the Pocket Notebook. See how you can use all the Folio accessory dies in journals that are not made with the Folio base!
