Featured Artist on Paper Crafter's Library


Hi folks! Exciting news today, I'm the Featured Artist on Paper Crafter's Library! I could make absolutely anything I wanted. Umm, that's a little paralyzing!! Fortunately they contacted me back in October so I had plenty of time to think about it. Being so in love with the dimensional barn stars, I thought I'd explore what else could be done with that same folding technique. Wouldn't you know, it works with a lot of different shapes besides stars!

I'd love for you to stop by and check it out. There are 6 projects in my post. My favorite is the inverted star (shown on the card on top of the present). The edges incline upward like the "normal" barn star, but the middle folds inward. I can't believe that actually worked!

Thanks so much for looking!

  19. Your grasp of 2D to 3D continues to blow me away. If I had figured out the inverted star, in the middle of the barn star, I'd still be jumping up and down for joy! I'm guessing your stint as guest designer will bring a landslide of lookers to your blog. I may just need to break down now and get a die set of stars.

    By the way, that is a fabulous header photo. It really shows off the diversity of items you made with the technique.

    I would love to comment on your brilliance with each post, but I need a life, and I move a bit more slowly than the average person. I'm so happy that you've chosen to share in a blog, and I hope it brings the joy to you, that it does to your readers. My life would be less fun and creative without you in it. A big thanks for all you do.
