Design Team Introduction - Lowri McNabb
Hi Everyone - Lowri here and I am thrilled to be continuing with Artfull Crafts this year in the role of an Expert.
Here is a little more about me and my crafting, along with a few of my favorite projects from the last year.
What is your field of expertise and how did you find yourself with this interest?
I am going to be focusing on “Off-the-Page” projects such as mini albums, home decor pieces and a little bit of everything Christmas!
I love to create functional items that also look decorative and I really like to use my Cameo – so look out for some pointers in that direction too.
How did you come to be involved with Artfull Crafts and how do see your role developing through the year?
I have been working with Artfull Crafts for 3 years now – in fact I was chosen to be on their first Design Team and have remained involved in a couple of different ways!. I am looking forward to focusing on the creative aspect again for the following 12 months
What type of papercrafts do you enjoy?
I like to create mini-albums, stationery, altered projects, cards and small papercraft pieces and my style has been described as described as bold and product driven with clean lines and lots of color.

What inspires you to be creative?
I am usually inspired by the product itself – though more and more I seem to be noticing good design I like everywhere and trying to incorporate it into my work. My favourite graphic design is the old-fashioned Penguin Book covers.
What is your favourite craft brand and why?
I like a lot of manufacturer’s products – though I am probably most drawn to bold and clean lines such as those by Echo Park, October Afternoon and Cosmo Cricket. I tend to only work with one Collection at a time too – so I have to REALLY like it!

What advice can you give to people just beginning to enjoy papercrafting?
- Enjoy yourself - this is meant to be fun!
- Don’t panic – if it doesn’t work – what have you lost? Most times you can just cover it with a bigger piece of paper and start again!
- Buy product you love and think you will use in the next 3 months (I really should start heeding that advice!!) Find a few people on-line whose styles you admire, follow their blog – ask them questions. There is not a blogger out there who doesn’t love to know people are interested in their work.
- Enter some challenges/DT calls etc. It's hard sometimes to "put yourself out there" but you will find people are friendly and really appreciative you have taken the time to share your work. The Artfull Crafts Monthly Challenges are a GREAT place to start - you can win some fab prizes too!

Nichole Parker - Mint Twist Hanging Card
Hi Everyone! Nichole here with a Christmas Card with a Twist - Kaisercraft Mint Twist!
Christmas is just around the corner and a perfect time to get started on Christmas Cards. What better way to make a convenient way to display cards than to have them hanging from the Christmas Tree?
"Merry Christmas" Greeting and Santa are from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Collectables and are popped up on 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.
The card can hang from hooks or pins, and can even be hung on the Christmas Tree or from the fireplace! Last year I gave hanging cards to all my family and close friends and they enjoyed being able to display the card with their ornaments.
Thanks for looking and reading. Hope the start of your Spring has been a great one! Remember that Summer and Christmas is just around the corner.
-Nichole
This card was constructed using a single A4 piece of white card stock, scored and folded in half. From there, the card stock was adhered with temporary adhesive and was cut on a Slice 12x12 Glass Cutting mat using a circle cutting tool using a 5" circle. The perimeter was stamped with snowflakes in Tsukinkeo Memento Ink in Bahama Blue.
A second circle was cut from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Paper Pad using a 4 1/16" circle and adhered in the middle.
"Merry Christmas" Greeting and Santa are from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Collectables and are popped up on 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.
The packages that Santa is holding is from the Kaisercraft Mint Twist Acrylic Stamps, stamped in Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in with Copic Markers in G07, R29, YG03 and a Clear Blender 0 to give depth. Santa's greeting is stamped and cut using Dienamics Say What Speechbubbles, and Hero Arts Christmas Messages.
The card is hanging from a festive Queen&Co Red and White Twine, and knotted inside the card fold.
The card can hang from hooks or pins, and can even be hung on the Christmas Tree or from the fireplace! Last year I gave hanging cards to all my family and close friends and they enjoyed being able to display the card with their ornaments.
