EightyFour-Kirigami
Mesmerized by Beth Stone's unbelievable paper cuts, I couldn't resist trying my hand at it when I saw this book on kirigami (with paper!) in the bargain aisle at Barnes and Noble. I picked the first and most simple pattern and still struggled a little but overall I like the effect. The two little tendrils on the outside are supposed to facing the other way but being the measure none, cut once person I am the card wasn't long enough to fit the curls in the "right" direction, so I just turned them 180 degrees.

SixtyThree-Hi
The top one is my card and the bottom one is a card I saw in a magazine that was given to me to use for inspiration. Going through it I was honestly surprised by the number of "pre-crafted" items used to create these cards. Even this simple design in the magazine requires some kind of stones and rub on transfer letters. My more colorful version had neither.

More examples of my need to learn the lesson "less is more". If I could go back I would probably not have filled in the letters with the purple background and I maybe would have gone more subtle with the box around the name on the birdhouse side. I thought I would love coloring in the birdhouse stamp but I like how it looks plain against the white background. Some of these new stamps I got are just amazing!

FiftySeven-Circles
FiftySix-Thistles?
So I actually like this one and the parts I like the best are betrayed by my shitty scanner! The greens appear yellowish and the purples appear blueish but overall I like the design and green and purple are my favorite colors. See the next post for the much more simplified second side.
