I love using foam adhesive tape to add dimension to my cards. If you don’t add too many layers of foam, they can go through USPS without extra postage. Before creating my own, I used it rather sparingly because the brand name tape can be expensive — at least compared to other adhesives. My dilemma […]
This is one of several separate videos covering different ways you can add custom lettering to your cards or other papercrafting projects. This video highlights the We R Memory Keeper’s Word Punch Board. I love this tool because you can easily create sentiment strips with a custom message. What’s even better is there’s zero waste […]
In my research on what monthly subscription card kit to invest in (post 1 and post 2), I made my own card kit using a 12 x 12 pattern paper pad I already have. The exercise was mainly to learn whether I would enjoy using pattern paper since I haven’t really used it much in […]
I’m still researching which monthly card kit I want to subscribe to. It’s not getting any easier, folks. Not only have I discovered more card kits but I haven’t eliminated any! When I started my “in-depth analysis” of card kit subscriptions, I created a comparison chart (you can check it out on this blog post). Well, […]
In my last post, I compared the card kits “on paper” to see how they stack up against each other. It’s hard to make a decision just on the “specs” of the kit. They all look so beautiful and quite frankly, I’d love to sign up for them all. However, card kit shopping isn’t like […]
You may be thinking I need to take a chill pill. Don’t worry; I’m chill. I’m very chill. Actually, no, I’m super excited! This is my introduction of FLIPPED projects. What’s a FLIPPED project? It’s how I approach my card making sessions. When I sit down to make cards, I think about how I can […]
I’ve never subscribed to a monthly cardmaking kit. Every once in a while I think about starting up a subscription and the urge has struck again. This time, I decided to do a more in-depth comparison. Not only did I create a spreadsheet (I do love a good spreadsheet and pivot table) but I also […]
Do you make more cards than you know what to do with? If you’re anything like me, the answer is YES! The perfect solution I’ve found is to give away my cards as gifts. I get to clear out my “inventory” of cards and best of all have reason to make even more! Whenever I […]
This list of supplies are what I’d consider “nice to have”. There are certainly other ways to achieve the same thing, but these items are time-savers, money-savers or just make your life easier. You may not use them all the time or on all your cards, but when you need them, they can be quite […]
There are a few “big ticket” items I’ve invested in that I use quite often in my card-making. These won’t necessarily break the bank, but they are $100+, so they aren’t cheap either. You don’t necessarily need all of these, but they are certainly worth it depending on what kind of maker you are and […]
