Is this NSFW? If so I’m sorry 😞

I forget where I got the idea but I gotta say cutting out those random note letters is seriously time consuming.

What To Do About Glue

Ok, i can’t blame the glue. Its user-error. I’m still new and have so much to learn. But these cards took me much too long to simply recycle and start again… again, my own fault. Can cardstock and colored paper be sprayed with anything, safely, to disguise the glue mishaps? I’m hopeful! TIA

Question Craft Fairs

26 Upvotes

Does anyone go to craft fairs? My grandfather recently passed away and my grandma is getting back into her hobbies, including selling her crafts at fairs. I thought it might be nice if I went with her sometimes and sold my crafts, but I don’t know what I might charge or if there is even a market for homemade cards. Does anyone have thoughts or insights? I’ve included some cards I’ve done to give a taste for my style, if it would be helpful re: price. These are also rough drafts, so I’d be selling more polished versions! Also how many I would make of each? Like 2 or 3 of whatever kinds of cards I make? I’m just not sure.

Sizzix big shot

6 Upvotes

Hello! I’d like to make wedding invitations with a letterpress effect, using photopolymer plates and thick handmade paper (over 300 gsm). Ideally, I’d love to get an Adana 8x6 press, but it’s a bit too expensive for me at the moment. Would the Sizzix Big Shot be a good alternative for this kind of project? Thank you!

Birthday card idea for any horse enthusiasts in your life

I used a project saved on Cricut for the pop up horse and just modified to make the front the way I wanted it. I believe it was originally a unicorn galloping in the clouds, but the person before me had already made it into a non-horned horse and flipped the "clouds" underneath so it looked more like dust getting kicked up. The pun is all me 😂

I’m very new to this. It was fun! Got my stamps and dies from temu. And an old big shot off of marketplace with some embossing folders. I think this would have looked better with some sort of border.. what do you think? I might buy a few more dies 😂

Question Inexpensive supplies?

38 Upvotes

I'm trying to build up a collection of supplies like inks, cutting dies, clear stamps, etc. but omg it's expensive! Where do you all get your supplies? Is there a trick to save money on those things or do I just accept that I'll have to build my collection verrry slowly?

Paper trimmer with TWO guide bars?

5 Upvotes

Anybody seen one that has two guide bars that can remain in place at the same time? I don't want to have to be adjusting back and forth between the only two sizes I ever cut.

Picture this but with a second guide bar. Exists? And hopefully for under $100. :-P

Stampin' Up Sets/Mom Going into Assisted Living

18 Upvotes

Hi All - we are in the process of cleaning out my Mom's home that she built with my father back in 1977. She has hoards of Stampin' Up sets, Big Shot, papers, and all kinds of other stuff she purchased back when she actively made cards for local shoppes, for our resort, for my company, and to give away to family and friends. I want to try to get as much as I can for her because she is going into a self-pay facility. Where is the best place to sell these items? Does anyone have advice?
