Hello! We’re up to our fourth installment of our new feature…Design Team Q&A. We are interviewing the team throughout the summer so that you get to know them! Today we have the wonderful Dana Gong. She blogs every other Tuesday and her feature is called Tuesday CrafTea Time. In case you missed it, we’ve interviewed Laurel Seabrook, Dana Warren and Kathy Schweinfurth.
Tell us a little more about yourself!
Hi! I live in South Korea and I’ll turn 31 in this month. And it means… YES, birthday giveaway! You can find giveaway rule in the bottom of the post.
When did you join the CLC Design Team?
January 2017!
What is your favorite coffee/tea or cocoa card that you’ve designed?
This interactive tea time card I made last winter. I love snowing scene from tea pot to tea cup and this card’s cozy feeling.
What is your favorite color/color combo?
My favorite color is all shades of blue. Plus, I newly found I love pink-green combo for my card through looking over my IG before answering this question.
We would love a peek into your crafty space, tell us a bit about it!
I’ve made my cards and projects in this area. For a long time, all of my crafty things are on/around the table, but now I use this space also for other works (reading books or writing blog posts, etc.), so I reorganized them as shown in this photo.
Firstly I did for reorganizing, I hid my ink pads or acrylic blocks in my sight in the left side of desk using papers, because I couldn’t resist making cards whenever I saw them. And it was a good choice for my concentration for other works haha.
I keep markers in this plastic container. It has a handle so I easily take my markers to the outside when I want coloring in other place from time to time.
On the left side of the table, there is a big cart (I don’t know what it is exactly but it has 4 wheels) which is holding most of my crafty things and my tea(!). I just remind you that I’m a tea loving girl. My teawares are in the kitchen area, but other tea things occupied in my room and shared their space with crafty things 🙂
Pics are about second and third floor I mainly use. In the second floor, from left to the right, there are tea bags, tea tools, some leaf tea tins and all of my die sets and stencils.
In third floor, there are label maker, paper trimmer, clear stamps(in the big box) and my finished cards (in the blue bag and right top of box). Under the stamps and cards, there are wood stamps and many numbers of leaf tea package sealed in the AL bag. Of course, I have more stamps and dies, but those are wrapped in other space to be destashed. Plus, papers and big shot machine are under the table.
What are your ‘go-to’ crafty tools?
Misti, stamp shammy from LF and waterbrush.
Now, it’s a giveaway time!
