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!

Follow your heART - Scrapbook Layout

Hello Craftivators, 

Hope y’all are doing well. Today I'll be sharing with you a spring themed scrapbook layout.

 I was inspired by the lovely colors of the Splashymix Challenge moodboard to create today’s project.

I was also inspired by the Creative Embellishments March Challenge moodboard to compose the elements of my layout.

I’ve added some faux stitching with a green marker as their extra element. 

Thank you for visiting our blog ♥️

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.

Paper Crafters Unite Against Racism Hop - Floral Card

Hello Craftivators,
Hope you all are doing well. Today I’m back again to inspire you guys with a fun project, which I created for a special cause. It’s a fun floral card. This project is a part of the Paper Crafters Unite Against Racism Hop organized by Justine Hovey.
I used the sentiment ‘Be Who You Are’ to encourage people to accept the natural aspects of life, be courageous enough accept our own selves and never be afraid to be how we are! 
I myself am a person of color and I’m proud of it!

The goal of this hop is to come together to stand behind our crafty sisters and brothers of colour not just in the art industry, but also to show our support in the never-ending fight for equality all over the world.

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.
