This week we have a bonus tutorial for you, brought to you by one of Cut At Home‘s designers Patti Senter. Before we show you Patti’s project, let’s get to know her a little bit more…

Cut At Home Designer – Patti Senter

PattiSenterProfilePic-12052014-250WThank you Paper Crafter’s Library for featuring me in today’s spotlight post, my name is Patti Senter and I live in the South West corner of Utah in Washington City. You may also know me as A Soul’s Heartbeat which is my blog and Facebook or as nwlady1949 on YouTube (NW = Northwest since I lived most of my years in the Pacific NW, Washington State).

I’ve been using paper, inks and glue for the last five years but crafting since I was a young person, always wanting to make it instead of buy it. I started out doing solely digital scrapbook layouts, working for stores such as Cottage Arts and Digitals as well as numerous individual digital kit designers. When visiting one of the designers in 2008 she gave me a bag of ‘stuff’. I tried to explain I didn’t do hands on things, just digital, but she persisted. That was the beginning, it took a few months of the bag being in the closet before it got the best of me. That was the start and I haven’t looked back since. Currently I am on the design teams for Cut @Home which I started in the fall of 2013 as well as Meg’s Garden and have just finished terms for SaCrafters and The Piece by Piece.

I love creating and sharing how I do things. As I’m sure you know, YouTube and the large family of crafting enthusiasts online are very supportive people, many of whom have helped me to learn. I enjoy being able to pay forward the knowledge on my blog and YouTube channel by giving back to those looking for a little inspiration or newbies who are just beginning and need a little push to believe they too can do it!

I don’t feel I have any particular style, it’s usually the paper or item I’m working with that provides flow as the project takes on a life of it’s own and determines whether it’s embellished with lots of bling or left to shine for itself. My passion is mini albums, to start with chipboard and paper and end up with a gorgeous album to house photos and memories is my definition of fun.

Today I’m sharing a ‘Manly Man’ Gift Box and Mini using Graphic 45’s 5″x 5″ Mixed Media Box in black and Heartfelt Creations All Geared Up Collection of papers and stamps. I often find that most crafters have difficulty creating for the men in their lives. Most men shy away from the things we women love, bling, glitter, ribbons and flowers. So today’s project showcases the box and the paper and leaves the rest on the masculine side.

  7. I am so glad Patti gave the bag of stuff in the closet a try. She has made a wonderful box, love all the beautiful textures and colors on her box and mini album. Thank you for the very informative video about some of the products she used and techniques. My son and I love Steampunk and this box is one I will have to remember as a source of inspiration for him.

  8. I love getting to know other crafters here at Paper Crafters Library. Thank you for sharing their talents. Lovely projects today 🙂

  9. I found Miss Patti a couple of years ago as I started in my paper crafting journey. She is gracious and giving. She is talented from the tips of her fingers to the bottom of her toes (not a very elegant picture, but true nonetheless!) Patti is a true friend, and I am honored to know her. If you haven’t found her yet, please do, you will love her just as I do.
    Thank you Miss Patti for all of your guidance both in crafting and in life. Giant hugs from afar – Julie
