Pop Up Card with Bridge

Yuichi Miyoshi Pop Up Card with Bridge

I find pop up cards almost always beautiful, isn’t this one wonderful, too?

Corner Bookmark

Splitcoaststampers Corner Bookmark

In my entry Papierblätter-Kranz (Paper Leaves Wreath in English) Bloomsbury told us in a comment about the corner bookmark.
Thank you again!

Personally I find the corner bookmark from the picture too fanciful – and additionally it is much too bulky with this 3D decoration, I couldn’t close my book anymore
But the instruction is made so, that everybody can make their own bookmark in their own personal style. Great, isn’t it? ;-)

Rasterbator

The Sect of Homokaasu Rasterbator

Huuh, That’s fun: you take any picture, send it through the Rasterbator and get a PDF file with single pictures that you can join to form a big grid pattern picture of the original picture.

The grid pattern picture here was made from the picture of a sunflower on a single A4 page, but it could have been much bigger ;-)

Note:
I heard several times that the Rasterbator doesn’t work.
I don’t know what the problems were, but it works for me (perhaps they only made corrections ;-)):
I’m going to the Rasterbator, click on Rasterbate online and then on ‘If you are sure you have Flash Player 7, click here.’.
Then: off we go! :)
I don’t have Flash Player 7, but I’m much further, but it works anyhow ;-)

Another note: a live test showed: if it still doesn’t work, read/observe the error messages thoroughly, that’s helps sometimes ;-)

Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps

esprit cabane Keepsake Boxes from Bottle Caps

I think that I will buy at least two bigger plastic bottles soon which I will cover with paper mache and from the caps I will make boxes.
Then I only have to think about what to do with the content ;-)))

Knitted Lace Notecards

vintagekathleen Lace Notecards

If you knit lace, e.g. for the Crazy Lace Cardigan or all sorts of other things, you should always knit swatches.
And what to do with them later on? (For me this is the reason why I don’t make swatches, often to my own disadvantage ;-)).

Anyway, I’ve found something now: you can ‘simply’ make knitted lace notecards with them ;-)

I presented a site with lots of knitting (lace) patterns before, so that you can start directly ;-)

And if knitting isn’t your cup of tea, it works of course with crochet, too, as you can see e.g. with my cro-tat card for Mother’s Day.

By her own account the pattern for the knitted lace notecard on the photo is Grün ist die Hoffnung which is available as free ravelry download.

There you can read the following: “Grün ist die Hoffnung was designed for the Socken-Kreativ-Liste, a German yahoo-KAL with 2000 members.
It is available in English and in German.
You can find the English version in my raverlry store for free. Please contact me for the German version.
