And since Spring is finally approaching, what better way to celebrate it than wearing some fun, colourful jewels? Here's the video tutorial: 

You can create also some keychains or embellishments to attach to a bag:

New line of stencils: Video Tutorial stencils and shrink plastic

Ok, hands down! These bunch of Maneki dolls are soooo darn cute. Here I used the new stencil "Lucky Japan" to create this simple card where the background is made out of craft plastic leftovers coloured with alcohol ink:

VideoTutorial Polymer Clay Cogs and DIY Steampunk necklace

Lately I had some fun assembling a steampunk necklace...you never know when you'd need to wear such a statement jewel in your life!
Qualche tempo fa mi sono divertita ad assemblare una collana steampunk, con ingranaggi e chiavi. Non si può mai sapere quando può servire un gioiello del genere... ;-)

Would you like to make some steampunk embellishments out of polymer clay? In this video I show you how to use a superdetailed silicon mould and get a faux metallic effect:

You could use them for any MixedMedia project like my treasure box as well.

Gli ingranaggi e gli abbellimenti si possono anche realizzare a casa con il fimo e degli stampi, nel mio video vi mostro quanto è semplice. Li ho anche usati per decorare la scatola Steampunk dei tesori.

VideoTutorial: '10 Ways to use Embossing Folders' Part2

Hello, my video serie '10 Ways...' has come back! (Here you can find a page with all the previous videos). How many (and neglected) embossing folders have you in your craft stash? Time to use them to make cards, jewels, bookmarks, upcycling projects and so on! On the video, I show you ten different techniques with finished projects, ideas and inspiration. It's just one video, but the pictures are so many that I split the blog post in twos, here the first one.
Un altro video della serie '10 Modi di...' (Qui una pagina con tutti i video fino ad adesso).
Ma voi quanti embossing folder avete a casa? Pensavate di usarli solo sul cartoncino? In questo video vi mostrerò dieci modi diversi con progetti finiti, idee ed ispirazioni: dalla stoffa, ai gioielli, alle tag, ai mini-notes, al riciclo! E con i più disparati mediums.
Le foto sono cosi tante che le ho divise in due posts, qui la prima parte.
