Week 6 Recap: Early Morning Crafts and Coffee with Lorrie
Dawn breaks, coffee brews, and crafting begins! This week marked my 25th to 29th days live streaming, all dedicated to the enchanting ‘All About Autumn Suite Collection’ by Stampin’ Up. As a budding crafter, these sessions are more than just lessons. They’re revelations. From understanding the finesse of layering cut-outs to mastering the art of stamping-off to design my own paper, the progress is real and tangible. Ribbons and bows? They used to be challenging, but I’m weaving magic with them now!
A standout from this week was the rich, luxurious hue of blackberry bliss. It’s not just a color but a sentiment, bringing depth and elegance to my creations.
Quick Glance at the Week:
- Monday (Day 25): Revisiting the profound message, “Autumn teaches us that change can be beautiful,” we melded mauve and copper clay hues on an oxidized canvas. The pièce de résistance? An artisanal pumpkin adorned with natural ribbon.
- Tuesday (Day 26): Our homage to gratitude manifested as “With A Grateful Heart.” The pristine white inked sentiment amidst a myriad of autumnal leaves was spellbinding, especially the shimmering maple leaf set against a “pretty peacock” backdrop.
- Wednesday (Day 27): An adventure into new crafting horizons using three distinct designer papers. The charisma of diagonal cuts complemented by moody mauve, cascading leaves, and a winter blanket silhouette is simply unmatched.
- Thursday (Day 28): The theme of ‘I’m Thankful’ led us into uncharted territory. The vivid blackberry bliss backdrop, darkened books, and a cozy blue blanket culminated in an artwork that speaks to the soul.
- Friday (Day 29): Our finale was nothing short of spectacular. Handcrafted designer paper, the finesse of the ‘I’m Thankful’ series, and the allure of the blackberry bliss made for an unforgettable crafting session.
Crafting is more than a hobby; it’s a beacon, illuminating the paths of creativity and solace. This endeavor has been a silver lining, especially during challenging times, proving that joy and creation can prevail.
