Corbae Creative: June 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Where's that 40' x 40' studio I requested? I recently purchased a die cutting machine. It's going to be great and save a lot of time once it's set up. Unfortunately, it's a bit larger than I'd expected, so I've been spending the last few days purging my office/studio of the piles that have built up since the last purge in 2007. It's amazing what accumulates if you don't keep an eye on things. Now to find just a bit more space. Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I posted a new set of cards.

Corbae Creative: May 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2009. Packaging as part of the whole. I've been really enjoying Jackie Hernandez' posts. On handmade and creative packaging over at Crafting a Green World. I'm definitely a strong believer in packaging and think it can make or break a product, and the items she's posted are absolutely beautiful. They have my head spinning with new ideas. If at all possible, shouldn't the packaging be something that can be reused in some way? Thursday, May 28, 2009. As noted in earlier posts ( here. Yup I ...

Corbae Creative: August 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Wednesday, August 5, 2009. O' blog, how I have neglected you. The good news - I'm neglecting you because I'm pregnant. The bad news - I'm neglecting you because of all the first trimester nastiness sapping all energy and will beyond what's absolutely necessary. Everyone promises it'll get better. With that faint hope in mind, expect a lag until after Labor Day. Then, hopefully I'll pick back up with some semblance of vigor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Crafting a green world blog.

Corbae Creative: December 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. New year - what's the word? A friend of mine started a tradition a few years ago that I've completely co-opted. Instead of coming up with a list of new year's resolutions pick one word that will help define the experiences you want for the year. I love this idea as opposed to a list of resolutions I probably won't keep. A single word to push me to focus on what I think is important for the year. I want to enhance my design skills on the web side. The basics? After some serio...

Corbae Creative: April 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. No more Jordan almonds – creative wedding favors. Over at Etsy, Vanessa has posted a new article in their “Handmade Wedding” series. On wedding favors. She’s shown some amazing Etsy finds as favors, all of them way better than those jordan almonds that no-one seems to actually like. It reminded me of the wedding favors we handed out at our wedding. We still get compliments on them almost ten years later. Monday, April 27, 2009. Despite my best efforts, as a graphic designer, I ...

Corbae Creative: November 2009

http://corbaecreative.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 25, 2009. Tone on tone patterns. Woven window christmas card - red. Available in my Etsy store. One of my favorite techniques is to create a subtle pattern using weaving as a source for the pattern. By using the same paper, but weaving it together, I can create a textural effect without overwhelming a simple design with something busy. One of these days, I'll take some weaving classes to expand my pattern repertoire. Monday, November 23, 2009. Booties from Joy Bilee. Etsy shop:. I'm s...
