Craft Haul and Visit to Le BHV in Paris, France

October 20, 2017

Craft Trip and Haul from Le BHV in Paris, France

Hi, Crafty Friends! I’m back with another installment of “Jenny goes craft shopping in Europe, Part Two!” Well, not quite- that’s a joke….. kind of.

But YES, this is the second post on my latest trip to London and Paris. Check out my first post here when I visited John Lewis. And. like the last post, my goal is to

  1. Introduce you to a place you might not know;
  2. Show you what the craft/fabric shopping is like there;
  3.  Share with you what I bought;
  4. Show you what I MADE with those items;
  5. Remind you of a cool technique that maybe you’d like to try.

After all, you can be inspired to craft no matter WHERE you are!

So this is my post about Le BHV/Marais, a fantastic department store in the heart of Paris.

By the way, this is an interactive map. You can look around the area and/or get directions from where you are.

Like John Lewis in London, this is also a large multi-level department store….but the arts/craft section is like none I’ve ever seen! You have to just take it in….

Amazing, right?
Now let’s take a closer look at those techniques I used in the cards.

First I shared the Inlaid Die Cutting Technique…. and I frankly did the exact same technique and design as I did in THIS video:

And here are my inlaid card & tag….

Next I used the Stencil Rubbing Resist to create backgrounds for my next two cards. Here’s the original video….

And here’s how my cards turned out!

And lastly, I mentioned the Washi Tape card ideas, which you will find in it’s own post HERE.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour, haul and inspiration- I want you to get inspired to craft today, no matter where you are or what materials you have at hand. Have a crafty day!

    I love the vertical watercolor effects. I don’t have that machine that make letters but I could stamp the greeting on. I enjoy your tutorials so much. Thank you Jenny.
