Crafting while struggling with mental health

I only discovered how helpful crafting is for my mental health when it was too late and I've ended up in rehab. Now, I'm - slowly - crawling back out of the abyss. Maybe my crafts encourage you to try for yourself or keep trying?

And here I went far out of my comfort zone again ö.ö It's also quite the challenge working with black cardstock. Lots of tug spots and the notepads are removable

The cover had been lying around for months because I did a sloppy job cutting the fabric and I had no idea how to fix it, but I think I covered it up well ^^'

Last page holds a sticker sheet (I've bought locally) and an envelope with blank stamps and labels so you can get creative

I also used the embossing technique again, it's black on black and subtle but I really love the feel of the different materials of this book.

Papers and materials I used (digital downloads from etsy I printed out) All under 3€, so worth it <3 - Kawaii Cats - Background Papers - Notepad And the Cat Charms from amazon Sadly, the cute Kawaii stamps are not available anymore -.- And I have no idea where this fabric comes from, been hoarding it for over a decade omg (probably even two)

I copy/pasted the cats on the backdrops and lined pages

I've bought these tarot stamps (on amazon) and made a tiny tarot set out of them. It's just 5cm/~2 inches tall.

Inside are the 22 tarot cards of the Major Arcana (just in small ;) And a tiny booklet for notes.

The cover of the booklet shows 'The Fool', the first card in the Major Arcana, and the back 'The World', which is the last card of the journey.

The stamps I used on the inside of the book are -> here and -> here on amazon

Another one of these amazing boxes. I love to make them and it never ceases to amaze me when they unfold.

Haven't created in a while and this project had been lying unfinished for a few weeks now, but it's finally done!

It's a box for a Cat Tarot deck.

(This embossing powder is just like magic <3 )

The the lid is actually an old picture frame (I accidentally smashed the glass so I had to get creative ^^')

There is a hidden compartment behind the lid (as shown in the first pic), where you can store the booklet.

The Booklet for your notes

You can remove the insert of the lid and slide the card of the day/week/month inside. The sides are overlapping the card so it stays in place.

Pencil Case

created after -> this tutorial on youtube

Papers I've used (Printables from Etsy): For the darker case -> Feudal Japan For the one with the birds -> Oriental Papers

The darker one is slightly smaller (4cm edge length) than the one with the birds (5 cm edge length). I made the second one bigger to fit my washi tapes and stuff.

I used 3mm Finnish Cardboard for these. That was the first time I've worked with this material (maybe you've seen this before, architects use it for their models, for example) and it was really an awesome experience. If you look closer on the darker one in the third pic, you notice that I didn't cover the cut edges with paper, I just inked them with alcohol ink markers and it looks like wood.
