Christmas clutter POTW

[Marie]

Not that i'm planning to buy any (i've got loads of Christmas cards to make up) but I do rather like the Christmas Clutter POTW, the designs are bright and a lot of fun! I've not seen any clutter stuff before and I was wondering what makes them different from normal decoupage. I can see that there are less layers than a traditional decoupage but otherwise it just looks like decoupage to me. Am I missing something obvious?:rolleyes:

The clutter cards are a little bit different to the more usual decoupage in that instead of building one single image into 3D, you get a base 'empty' picture (for eg, a sports changing room, a bed, a wardrobe) & then lots of bits of things you might find in that setting for you to place where you want to make the full image.

Although I get the impression that a lot of crafters don't particularly like making them or the end result, most recipents seem to love them! I have made a few myself & have also been buying the new die cut ones from Winspiration's site - here (http://www.foilplay.co.uk/Default.aspx?cat=Clutter)

I think that these are the same ones as the POTW, MM is the guest artist on the show, although she does say that most of the newer designs are by a member of her new design team. I suppose that clutter is not as precise as normal decoupage but I do like these designs, they are fun!

I like the clutter cards, I think they are a fun idea and I bet if you make cards to sell then they will sell like hot cakes because they are certainly a bit different from the stuff you can buy in shops.

they are lovely.When I did the workshop with Michelle we made two of the designs ,the snowman and the sleigh.I have to say I loved them so much I still have them :) I dont want to part with them ;)

It was actually nice to see that there was a kit on IW for less than £15, instead of the mega kits that they usually have on. I'd definately have ordered it if I didn't already have loads of Christmassy stuff, but I hope that they will bring more smaller kits in the future.
