Blizzard of Greetings: Kit #2-- Color Your World
The video below (though not great quality) shows the process for this fun and easy crayon resist postcard craft.
Create your postcard, write a message and send it in the mail! It's already stamped and addressed for your convenience.
Blizzard of Greetings: Kit #1-- Magic Snowflakes
Discover the fun of painting over masking fluid-- and when your paint is dry, rub the masking fluid off to reveal snowflakes and more-- all unpainted!
The video above shows some of the finished products; when you're done, write a message and send the card in the mail!
Blizzard of Greetings-- Kit #3: Snowglobes
Create a snowglobe using the postcard, circle traced on the back, markers and stickers.
Use the circle to create your snowglobe outline; then create a scene inside the snowglobe using the markers, any craft supplies you have on hand, and/or the stickers provided.
The video shows my "underwater" scene snowglobe and a couple little tricks. Have fun!
Post pictures of your creations on Facebook. . .and don't forget to write a message and mail the postcards!
Blizzard of Greetings--Kit #4: Zentangles
Do you ever doodle on the side of your page? While you're on the phone? Then you will love zentangles!
Molly leads us through a start - to- finish tutorial on creating a zentangle. Even if you don't have the postcard kit for this week's project, you can create a colorful, interesting zentangle on any kind of paper and with virtually any writing instrument.
Don't forget to write a message on your postcard and stick it in the mail!
