I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

To celebrate I wanted to share the instructions for the fun BBQ pocket invitation card I made:

Supplies: black, yellow and white cardstocks, yellow and black ink pads, red and white check pattern paper, 2 black brads, corner rounder punch, yellow ribbon, BBQ stamp set (I used Grill it Up from Close To My Heart)

Directions:

– cut black cardstock in half length wise and round the corners, fold in half and then fold forward one end 1 1/2″, adhere the folded sides together

-trim pattern paper to fit the front of the card and the folded down flap and adhere to the card

– attach brads to flaps, to hold them down

– trim white cardstock to fit inside pocket of card, rub the edges with the black ink pad, then stamp the invitation information in black then attach a small loop of ribbon to the back and slip card inside the pocket

– trim yellow cardstock to fit front of card, stamp heat waves on black and then off set stamp again with out re-inking stamp, adhere to front of card

– on scrap of white cardstock stamp the burger once in black and once in yellow ink, cut out and assemble burger using yellow bun and black patty, adhere to yellow cardstock on front of card

-stamp words in black on front of card on pattern paper

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
