'Encore Post 2b: Looking back at some of my That's Crafty Projects

Hi Everyone, 

Earlier today I shared Encore Post 2a: Looking back at some of the larger mixed media Art panels I created while I was designing for That's Crafty's blog DT and now I'm back to share Encore Post 2b:  Looking back at some of the smaller mixed media panels I created.  

A quick recap of the format of these posts:

I'll share my projects in 'collections' of 3d projects, Art Panels, tags, Cards etc on separate posts so as not to have one excessively long post. 

The posts will primarily be 'project photo' posts with date and links to the post where I first shared them. Feel free to click through the links to se and read more about the creativity behind each of the projects.

If you've missed any of my 'Encore 'Looking back' posts you can see them here and here

So here's some of my small/mini mixed media art panels.

Encore Post 2a: Looking back at my That's Crafty Projects

 Hi Everyone, 

I'm back today with my second 'Encore Post' sharing some of the many projects I created for That's Crafty! while I was on their blog DT. 

I mentioned in the first Encore post: 'Looking back at some of my That's Crafty! Projects' that I'll share my projects in 'collections' of 3d projects, art panels, tags, cards etc on separate posts so as not to have one excessively long post.

The posts will primarily be project photo posts with dates and links to the post where I first shared them. Feel free to click through the links to see and read more about the creativity behind each of the projects.

******************* 

 So, with some of my 3d projects already shared (here) todays all about some of the mixed media Art Panels I created.
I made loads of these so I've decided to split them into two 'sub collections' shared over two posts. 

The larger art panels will feature on this post, the smaller on the next post.

Let's get started and if you'd like to find out which of my art panels is my favourite and infact my absolute and ultimate favourite of all the projects I created while on That's Crafty's DT be sure to stay with me until the end.

'Encore' Post 1: Looking back at my That's Crafty! projects

 Hi Everyone 

As yesterday saw me sharing some creativity over on That's Crafty's blog for the last time I thought I'd look back through all the projects I've created for That's Crafty and share some of them with you as 'Encore' posts here on my blog. 

There were alot of projects to choose from as I made and posted pretty much every week for approx 3 and a half years (give or take any time off for illness and the DT Christmas/ New Year holidays) so I've  decided to group them together in collections of 3D Art, Art Panels, Tags and Cards/ Journal pages  

Each collection will be shared on separate posts throughout the coming days so it doesn't make for one exceptionally long post.

The posts will primarily be project photo posts with dates and links to the posts where I first shared them. Feel feel to click through the links to see and read more about the creativity of each of the projects. 

So, let's get started with some of the 3D projects and I have to say I really enjoyed making these and all of them have either been in use or on display in my art space since the day they were made.

Use Your Wings 

(November 2019) 
This was created for That's Crafty's 3D Challenge feature that was in the June 2019 edition of The Crafty Stamper magazine. 

Love 365 'Art Dome'  

(July 2020)  

I designed and created this project using some of That's Crafty's craftyboard tags, chains and white/ greyboard hearts along with Tim Holtz 'Abandoned' papers.  

'A Letter Caddy' 

(July 2020).  

I designed and created this using some of That's Crafty's surfaces, long tags, bookmarks and letters along with Tim Holtz 'Abandoned' papers.   

'A New Desk Tidy' 

(January 2021) 

This was created with one of That's Crafty 's mdf ATB's and some of their stamps. 

'Cabinet Creativity'  

(March 2021)  

This was created with a That's Crafty! mdf Cabinet and Seth Apters Aladine Izink Ice.  

And  I couldn't share my That's Crafty 3d projects without including my latest two.

'A Flip Top 'Art Quote 'Box 

(March 2022)  

This was created with a That's Crafty! mini box and Stamperia 'Artelier des Art' papers.

'Believe' 

(March 2022) 

This was my 'leaving' project created with A That's Crafty! mdf ATC Chunkie. That's Crafty stamps and 13Arts 'His and Hers Remastered' papers. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking back with me at my Thats Crafty! 3D projects and that you will join me next time for my 2nd 'Encore' post when I'll be sharing some of the many Art Panels I created, posted and shared at That's Crafty! 

See you again soon

Believe

 Hi Everyone, 

Sadly, today sees me sharing some creativity over on That's Crafty's blog for the final time so I would like to start this post by saying an extra big thank you to Laura and Graham for the opportunity. It's been an honour and a pleasure to design for you and be part of the weekly blog team for the last 3 and1/2 years.  

Thanks too to the talented blog design team who I've worked alongside and to all you lovely people who have stopped by here and at That's Crafty!  to see and read about my creations and for all your kind comments and support. 

I'm still going to be around on the art and craft scene making, blogging, sharing doing what I love and whatever comes next so I would love for  us to stay connected so we can enjoy our creative journeys together. 

                            ***************************************************  

Now for my leaving project. 

I have created a mini 'Art Block' using one of That's Crafty's fabulous mdf surfaces - an ATC Chunkie, a That's Crafty heart and 13Arts papers designed by Olga Heldwein.  

Papers are used throughout the project, even the focal multi winged butterfly resting on the heart.

Thin strips of paper embellish the 'legs'.

 

Aswell as the feature on the top of the Art Block.

 I would love for you to join me over on That's Crafty's blog for one last time (just click HERE) 

 Hope to see you soon

A Flip Top 'Art Quote' box.

 Hi Everyone, 

I'm over on That's Crafty's blog today sharing some of my latest creativity -a flip top 'Art Quote' box 

I have a 'bit of a thing' for small 'arty' storage boxes and I really enjoy making my own. I've made a fair few over the years and all are still in use today.  I've shared some of them on my blog here, here and here. 

So I thought I'd make another using one of That's Crafty 's small MDF boxes, some papers from Stamperia's 'Atelier des Art' collection and one of Tim Holtz ideology trim tapes. 

Each of the box sides features an ' Art Quote'.

The box has a flip top lid to which I added a decorative feature that would also serve as an alternative way to lift the lid other than flipping it. 

There's more to see and read over on the blog so you are welcome to click HERE to join me.

 Hope to see you soon

Forever Friends!

 Hi Everyone and Welcome, 

As usual as its  Thursday you can find me over on That's Crafty's blog sharing some creativity. 

For today's post I have created a mixed media tag that's about friendship, a forever friendship between two young girls, Betsy and Lucy. 

Plenty of Tim Holtz products were used in the making from inks, to stamps to stencils to ideology along with a That's Crafty! White greyboard tag and one of their small clock embellishments 

 Betsy and Lucy would like to say Hi. 

Like alot of us they enjoy getting messy with paints and crayons and having lots of fun (and mischief)

together. 

 

They would love for you to come join us over on the blog so you can see and hear about the creative fun we've all been having. 

Just click HERE and you'll be with us in no time at all . 

Hope to see you soon

Amanda
