inspired by | willy wonka and the chocolate factory

Is it possible to create wearable style from a movie like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? I think so.

I was inspired to put together a handful of looks with hints of Willy Wonka to them. It was fun to reminisce about my favorite scenes from this classic movie and draw from the costumes and scenery.

If you had to style a look based on a classic movie, which movie would you choose and how would you put together your look?

Wintery Birthday Card – The Blue Version

Last week I made a snowman inspired birthday card.  I liked it so much that I decided to make a blue version to send my great uncle for his upcoming birthday.

Hope you like the blue version as much as the original!

I plan to make another version of this card for my Etsy shop, so keep an eye out for that too!

Wintery Birthday Card

I really enjoyed making this hand-made, hand-cut, and hand-glued snowman themed birthday card.  Hope you all like it!  And I hope it already made it to the birthday girl so I didn’t ruin the surprise.

All pieces were hand-drawn and hand-cut, and the snowflakes were added by hand using a silver marker.  The font used on both the front and inside of the card is “A Little Pot” (a free font that can be found on Dafont.com) that I traced onto cardstock with a thin-tip black marker.

Big 3-Oh Birthday Card

I made this hand-made, hand-cut, and hand-glued 30th birthday card in mid-November.  Sorry for the late posting.

This card was my attempt to both (1) make a 30th birthday themed card and to (2) make a masculine card as well.  Cards for boys are tough!  Hope you like it!

The three and the zero were hand-drawn and hand-cut from black cardstock, then hand-glued, and finally hand-embellished with tiny silver polka dot studding using a silver marker.  The font in the interior of the card is “Honey Script” a free font that can be found on Dafont.com.

A matching version of this card may be available for purchase on my Etsy shop in the future…so keep an eye out for that.

Birthday Card - Typewriter Cake

I made this hand-made, hand-cut, and hand-glued typewriter birthday card last week. The birthday cake “typed” onto the typewriter paper was created by me using computer key strokes. I think it turned out cute. Hope you like it!

A matching version of this card will be available on my Etsy shop. When that is listed for sale, I will post again to let you know.

UPDATE: For sale on Etsy here.

I made this card at the beginning of October for my uncle’s birthday. I hope you think it’s as cute as I do. I’ve been meaning to do a hedgehog card for a long time now. Finally it’s come to fruition

If you like it, I’ve made a second version of the card that will be available soon on my Etsy shop. It’s really only a matter of me putting together the listing. So keep an eye out, but I’ll be sure to write a post when it goes up for sale too. The second version is a “Hedgehog Queen” birthday card. It has all the same papers and colors, except the inside says “Hedgehog Queen” instead of “King.”

Here are some photos from the process of making this card. Starting from the original sketch, to finalizing the shapes, to constructing stencils of my creation.

And here’s the final product, with a view of the front and the inside. Enjoy!

UPDATE: For sale on Etsy here.
