Crafting Some Fun – Welcome

Crafting Some Fun is, well, a crafting site!  While I primarily concentrate on paper arts, all kinds of crafting are fair game.  😉

Crafting Types

While I said that all kinds of crafting are covered in this blog, here’s what you can expect.

Card Making:  My style is that I don’t have one, LOL!  I try all kinds from “clean and simple” to “horrendously complicated”, but I am mostly between those extremes.  To make cards, I use one or more of the following:

• Stamps (of course)
• Dies of all kinds — image, cover, frame and anything else that strikes my fancy.
• Watercolor (regular and metallic)
• Inks and markers of all sorts.
• Stencils
• Ephemera, which I especially like creating myself.

Scrapbooks and Journaling:  Just getting back into this after being away for awhile, so join me in my re-discovery.

Coloring:  I adore the “adult coloring books”, and some of my favorite authors are Johanna Basford, Millie Marrota, Kerby Rosanes and Maria Trolle.  But, I’ve recently also been enjoying some of the newer-style mandala coloring books.  I’ll share some tips as well as examples of my coloring pages.  For mediums I use:

• Colored pencils
• Watercolor pencils
• Watercolors
• Markers, both alcohol and water-based
• Accents (stickles, gel pens and some other interesting items I’ve come across

Jewelry Making:  My original “claim to fame” in the art and crafting world, I am mostly focused on styles such as bead embroidery and wirework jewelry.

Miscellaneous:  As I mentioned previously, it’s all fair game!  I especially like to come up with different ways to use everyday items to make them more fun.

What Can You Expect?

I have a YouTube channel called (naturally) Crafting Some Fun.  So, I’ll also post videos here from time to time.  After all, some people like to read about how to do something, others like to watch a demo – and some like both!  But each will have information that the other doesn’t, so I encourage you to:

• Bookmark this website
• Subscribe to my YouTube channel

This way, you can stay up to date with crafting demos, tests, first looks, reviews and all manner of crafty things and ideas.

Glad you came to visit me, and I hope we’ll craft some fun together!
