Playing with the Irresistible Blooms Online Exclusive Suite!

 Hi Crafty Fam-Jam!! I KNOW it's been forever since I have posted... but I'm here now!!

I don't know about you all... but I make SO many cards and a lot of them just sit in boxes. I have been working on sending out 3+ cards a week to brighten people's days.

I belong to several Card Swap groups on Facebook. Definitely helps me send out goodies as well as challenge myself to sign up and try new designs and techniques. 

The card I am featuring today is for my Swap Partner Judy 💕

It's called a "Pop-Out Gate Fold Card"

I was inspired by Wendy Cranford's online YouTube tutorial, she's a USA Based Demonstrator and has wonderful videos and tutorials. Highly recommend checking her out 😀

I embraced the colours in the DSP and used Lost Lagoon Cardstock for my card base. I used HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" Designer Series paper for the outside and inside panels. Then the Stamp set for the floral design and sentiment. The original project calls for 4 pieces 1 7/8 x 5 3/8... but seeing as the DSP is 6x6 I can't get 4 out of the 1 sheet. Of course you can cut into a 2nd sheet, but I used that as an opportunity to add another space to write a note or greeting. I also used the scraps to make a thin Belly Band to keep the card closed.

I'll be creating a Project Sheet soon and linking to it when complete.

Now that the new Catalog has gone LIVE you can order the Lost Lagoon Cardstock and all the other NEW and RETURNING colours! Stampin Up just had a colour refresh. There are many new colours to love but with that comes colours we are sad to say good bye to. Oh well!

I Pledge to be Better at this..! +Class prep update

 Hey Crafty Fam-Jam! Hope you're all staying well and covered in glue 💓

This last year has been a BLURR for me. Seriously. 2022 went by SO FAST.

Between physical health problems and mental health struggles it was a tough year... a BIG shout out to my amazing support system xox I wouldn't have made it through without you.

If you're struggling...reach out for help. You owe it to yourself.

Crafting is my outlet. It makes me happy all over and sharing my art with others is even better!

MOVING ON...

This January when we were discussing our New Year's resolutions and goals I made the decision to take my online business seriously. The last year and a half I've just been poking at it whilst dealing with my brain. We did very well at the 3 Craft Fairs we participated in during the holiday season, but I didn't want to JUST be a holiday biz.

This Saturday will be the launch of my very first In-Person Class that I am hosting at my home.

The event will be the beginning of a series of events I'll be putting on focusing on new bundles being released from Stampin Up!.

Open House event on Saturday is a very informal class, more of a Card Buffet really. I've been busy making samples using 9 or 10 (not done yet lol) Stamp sets or Bundles that my guests can recreate. Each class kit consists of a surprise stamp set, pack of embellishments and 4 card packets of their choice. People can add on packets for $3 each.

I'm excited for what this year has in store for me, with my Card business and my Demonstratorship. Making money while creating art and spreading handmade kindness is the best.
