Welcome back to another Step it out Sunday!
Hi all, well this week was a trying one for me… I had the dreaded Creativity BLOCK!!! Yep the one thing standing between me and enjoying making cards! I had made 3 cards and tossed them all in the trash because I couldn’t make them look good.
So I turned to our Wonderful Unity Design Team and I told them I am BLOCKED! My creativity is gone! They all said it happens to them too, and gave me some good sound advice. Walk away, do something else for awhile and take a walk, go on pinterest, watch some Youtube videos, case someone! These were all wonderful ideas, and I know we it happens to all of us and our Creativity is BLOCKED!
I went for a walk to clear my head, sometimes just leaving your stuff sit for a day or two can really help.
So I went back and began again to try and create!
I was stuck in my Creativity BLOCK last week so I went and watched a few videos and created this. I cased this background and put this beautiful girl form the KOTM on it! I just love all the flowers in her hair!
Unfortunately for me it didn’t get the creativity juices flowing. So I went through some of my past cards to see if I could bring something new to the table…
Last fall the SMAK set Winter Wild released, I couldn’t get enough of this moose and when I got the kit I couldn’t put it down! I hadn’t played with it in months so I thought well why not maybe this will help get me out of the funk!
I stamped the trees in different greens to give it depth.
Sure enough it helped. I just love this kit! So going back to something you really love seemed to help.
I then garbed this months KOTM again I love honeycombs and butterflies so I combined them.
I added a doily under the butterfly that I watercolored and added some twine that matched the honeycomb distress ink i used. The sentiment is from Beautiful Birthday Wishes.
So what did I learn from my Creativity BLOCK? Well for starters walk away don’t try and force creativity that doesn’t help, clearing your head and walking away, and going back to what you LOVE all seemed to work for me.
Well I hope this may help some of you who are struggling with Creativity BLOCK. Remember we all get it from time to time. See you next Sunday and as always keep crafting.
