Using Scrap Papers to The Fullest

I think I said I love papers too many times. But do you know that I love them until they bec0me tiny pieces? This is one of my ways being GREEN and to save trees.

Here is a box where I store my scrap papers, thinking that I'll use them in my next projects. But I seem to be overpowered by them. These scrap papers tend to pile up real quick. Less than often, they're hardly used in the next projects.


So I decided a couple of days ago that I need to do something major about it. This also means that I need to spend major time doing it. I'm making TAGS. Tags in different sizes depending on what are available. All I need is a couple of punches: flower punch, corner punch, and hole punches. And of course, glue!



I made 100 Pretty Tags!! Woo Hoo!


They're great little tags that go in my packages to my sweet customers.

I Love Custom Order!

If you visit my Adore By Nat shop, you'll notice that I don't list as frequent as I used to. I'm currently occupied with this custom order.

Can you tell what I'm making?



Bookmarks!

They are just bit and pieces right now. I finish cutting all papers to the right measurement and currently in the sewing stage.



My sewing machine is quite small and it's one of the tools that I cannot live without. It's starting to lose its strength, mind you it has sewn hundreds and hundreds of papers. Pretty powerful for a small machine and I highly recommend it for crafting. In fact, I bought one for my girlfriend at work. But it's time for me to move to the next level. I want to have a REAL sewing machine, one that can sew zig-zag.

Can you imagine what will these bookmarks look like when finished? Stay tuned for my next post on the finishing result!

Now, would you please excuse me. I have some sewing to do.

More Sets of Cards

We found out that each of us can only bring 2 x 23 kg baggage. It was 2 x 32 kg when we flew to Indonesia last year. That means it is about 50 kg reduced in total as a family.

Today I dug in my box of cards, reorganized, and put some of them in a set of 5. They are available at my Adore By Nat shop.

I REALLY need to get rid of my cards as I won't be able to bring them all. And the paper supplies . . . it's still piling in my drawers. Call me desperate but I got to admit . . . I AM!!

The planning is already in mind. I have to leave some of my rubberstamps behind. It's true that acrylic stamps are much better over all. They don't take so much space and very light in weight. Papers . . . I have to use as many as I could but at the same time I'm fighting myself as I really like to collect papers too. Oh darn!

Wish me luck on my attempt in selling all of my cards and clearing out the inventory.

My Kind of Tags

I finally made these tags. I had them in mine for a while but only got a chance to actually made them a couple of days ago. Too adorable, I think. I just love how they turned out. Really, I just love felt and paper and they go really well together. A perfect match!



If you'd like them, come on and get them at my AdoreByNat shop. It's $3.25 for a pair of tags. And if you get them now, you can enjoy my current sale: Buy 3 Get 1 Free. For something this adorable where details are involved, you know that it's a great deal you'll get.

When Paper Met Felt

Here is my love story...when my love of paper and felt collides... :-)

While my addiction to papers never ends, I'm always flattered by felts. They are pretty, good to look at and nice to feel. It's something to do with its texture and versatility. I adore those kawaii stuff made with felts, but with so little time I have, I don't think it's possible to explore making other crafts at this time.

So, what I did was to create my cards using felts as an embellishment. The possibility is endless. Paper and felt ... they perfect for each other.


Now, it's time to get back matchmaking them again :-)

To see more of these cards, please visit my AdoreByNat store.
