Carpe Diem - Scrapbook Layout

 Hello Craftivators,

Today’s project is special because it’s a guest design inspiration project for my favorite challenge blog- More Than Words  

You can CLICK HERE to check out there blog post.

Here’s the moodboard for this month-

 

‘CARPE DIEM’ is a word which I can relate more with when I’m crafting or traveling. Whenever I’m free, in high spirit or feel like following my heart and making the best use of my time, you can either find me in a corner of my craft room crafting my heART out or you won’t find me at all as I’m out somewhere on a trip lol. This colorful layout perfectly represents that side of me. 

For the creative challenge, MARK-MAKING, I marked the border of the layout with some faux stitching and also scribbled around the focal point with my favorite black pen!

Here’s my entry for Mixed Media Academy Challenge

Fabrika Decoru DT Call 2021

 Hello!

I’m Fairuz Fabiha, a 20 years old, resident of Bangladesh and a student of Architecture, who loves paper crafting, card making, scrapbooking and doing mixed media art. I also have the experience in designing chipboard cutouts for one my design teams.

I’m currently working as a designer for “The Robin’s Nest” , “CrafTreat” and “Lisa Horton Crafts” design team. But my terms with CrafTreat and Robin’s Nest will end this December.

Fabrika Decoru has and will always have a very special place in my heart because I started my ‘mixed media’ journey with their products. Not only I fell in love with their products but it made me fall in love with mixed media art too. Their versatile range of products are what you need to satisfy your cravings as a mixed media artist.

I think I would be a good fit for the Fabrika Decoru team because I’m a team player, a passionate crafter and I always take my work seriously.

And nevertheless, I love their products and I’m most comfortable in using the type of products they produce. And my works are the best proof of it. Most of my creations (if not all) includes at least one or more Fabrika Decoru products. I believe when you truly love and feel comfortable with what you are doing, naturally the end result will be good.

Spring Bloom

Hello Crafty Friends!

Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation. Today I’ll be sharing with you a fun project where I have used stencil on fabric to create a simple but vibrant wall hanging home decor.

It’s a very beautiful sunflower patterned stencil and the possibilities are endless to create with it. I’ve used it many times on papers and mdfs. But for today, I wanted to try something different and hence I decided to work on fabric.

Process-

At first I took a piece of textured white fabric and tightly framed it to a sewing hoop.

Then I placed the spring bloom stencil over it and attached it with some masking tapes to keep it in place.

Then I started applying colors over. I’m not good with paintings and for that reason painting always stressed me out. But using the stencil for painting the flowers made the process very easy and therapeutic. I really enjoyed doing it this way.

After I was done with the flowers, I colored the background in green.

I let the whole background dry perfectly, then I wrote 'Hope' over it with bronze metallic paint and outlined it with black and white.

Voila! The beautiful wall hanging home decor is done! x

I would like to enter the STAMPloration THE STENCIL CHALLENGE

Thank you so much for visiting the blog! I hope you found the project inspiring and the instructions helpful.

Hugs,

Home Alone Inspired Layout

Hello Craftivators!
Hope you’re all safe and sound. Today I’m back again with another fun project. I’ll be sharing with you a funny ‘Home Alone’ themed mixed media layout.

As I’m back home because of this lockdown and unable to do some craft shopping, I’ve very little amount of supplies with me. But that didn’t stop me from crafting. I looked for a some pictures in the newspaper and hit the jackpot when I found this cute photo of Kevin from home alone. Hence I decided to use it as the focal point.
Every element of the layout, starting from the striped paper in background to the flowers are made out of scratch.
‘Home Alone’ is one of my most favorite movies ever and I’ve watched it innumerable times. As much as I find this movie very funny, I find the movie very inspiring too. I’ve learnt no matter how much you’re underestimated, you can still make a great difference to your surroundings with your boldness, intelligence and positive vibes. That’s why I decided to use the sentiment “make a difference”.

I was also inspired by the lovely moodboard of the More Than Words Challenge.
For the funny element, I decided to add the funny photo of Kevin. And for the stripes, I have added blue stripes on the background.

Mixed Media Altered Hoop - Desserts

Hello Craftivators!
I hope you guys are doing well, staying home and staying safe in this extremely tough time.
I’ve quarantined myself from last week as my classes got suspended. That actually left me a lot of time to spend for myself and think about what’s going on in our lives. This time of crisis also taught me that every negative things has a positive impact on our lives too.
Thinking about the positive sides of this terrible time, I realized how much this world needed a break from us humans and how much us humans needed a break from the outside world. We really needed a break from all those extra office hours, sleepless nights trying to complete our assignments, morning alarms, traffic jams and what not!
Now that I’ve got all the time for myself, I started appreciating every little thing around me a little more than I used to and realized how much we were missing out as we were busy running for unrealistic goals whereas “There’s a moment of joy in every day”. So this is what I chose for today’s sentiment.

For today’s project, I’ll be sharing with you a Mixed Media Altered Hoop. I got inspired by the different memories I shared with my family to create today’s project. My grandma first introduced me to sewing hoops when I was a little girl and gave me one as gift. I’ve kept that for many years now but recently after seeing it again, I got this idea of altering a sewing hoop. So here it is!
I got inspired by my mum to add the photos of the desserts as she loves making desserts for me!

I also got inspired by the moodboard of the More Than Words  Challenge Moodboard to create this project. So here’s my take on their March 2020 moodboard!

Mixed Media Bookmark

Hi Crafty Friends,
Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation. Today I’m back again with a technique of using the amazing Robin’s Nest dewdrops! I’ll be showing you how I used these mini dewdrops to not only embellish my project but also add texture on the background using the dewdrops.
For my today’s project, I’ve decided to make an mdf bookmark.

Step by step process:

1. At first I took an mdf tag by Lisa Horton Crafts as the base of my bookmark.

2. Applied a layer of Fabrikadecoru resist texture paste through the maze stencil by Lisa Horton Crafts.

3. Added mini dew drops by the Robin’s Nest all around the edges of the bookmark and applied a layer off gesso to prime the surface.

4. Applied layers of spray paints by Fabrikadecoru.

5. Embellished the bookmark with mdf tag sentiment, sisal, tassel and ribbon.

6. Finally added some white dewdrops to finish it off.

A New Beginning - Altered Ring Box

Hello Craftivators!

I’m back again with another altered art project. But today’s project is very special because I altered an engagement ring box!! It’s a very small project but has great impacts. x

Even though the most beautiful things in life are not materialistic things. They are people and the places,the memories and pictures. They are feelings and moments, tight hugs, smiles and laughter. But an engagement ring do have a special place in our heart and has a special impact on our lives which highlights an important event and makes us trust ‘The Magic Of A New Beginning’.

For this special project, I got inspired by the inspirational words and colors of the moodboards of More Than Words Challenge and Mixed Media Academy Challenge.
I also got inspired by the ‘Anything Goes’ theme of the Bleeding Art Challenge to use mixed media on my project.
So this is my take on their January 2020 moodboard, as I take part in their challenges. xx

I loved the bright and beautiful sunset colors of the creative inspiration and tried to incorporate those colors on my project. The word inspiration ‘highlight’ is incorporated in my project by highlighting an important event of life and also by the sentiment used inside of the box.
