Friendly Flamingo for a Quick Card

January 9, 2021 By Karen Leave a Comment

Just popping in with a quick card idea using the Friendly Flamingo Bundle.

This Distinktive stamp is designed to give realistic depth and intensity. Notice how the flamingo has just been stamped once in Magenta Madness but it has a variety of shades within it.

Flirty Flamingo (an appropriate name for this – lol) is another great color to use.

This stamp set has coordinating dies as well – and you save 10% when you buy the bundle.

Its winter here in Minnesota – and I wanted to think of warmer places. Card making lets us do that!

Did you know that I send out a new card tutorial each week to my mailing list? Make sure you are on that by clicking on the link below – or on the side bar.

Podcast #19/Making Gifts for Christmas

December 6, 2020 By Karen Leave a Comment

For many of us crafters —- making gifts for Christmas is a big part of what its all about and this year that just might be more important than ever.

I think its all about the small gifts – those little things that say “I’m thankful for you – you matter to me”.

While you are creating – you are thinking about the person you are making the gift for —- what a wonderful sense of gratitude comes with that.

I think its all about the small gifts – those little things that say “I’m thankful for you – you matter to me”.

———————————————————

I have the “All Good Cards Club “ – where we have a little weekend retreat once a month to create together. This month we are focused on those “small gifts” —- I started calling them “gifties” years ago and didn’t even know if gifts was even a word – but it is! I finally looked it up.

—— These are the kind of thoughtful gifts to give….. or just to have an hand for an unexpected occasions – like when a friend drops off a gift for you! Now – you have something ready to give back.

Probably my favorite gift in this class is a handmade calendar for 2021! It stands on the shelf so you can easily check a date – and its lovely to look at! A great gift for any adult. You get the pdf, the calendar and all of the instructions and then you get to decorate it however you like. In the group, many will share their finished calendars. – so you get not only my original idea, but lots of interpretations. (We are more creative together than we are separately). Here is the link to the class if you want to check it out: https://bit.ly/39uxhif

In addition to making handmade gifts —- there is the fun of wrapping them – and the beauty of looking at pretty packages under the tree!

So many years it seems people are complaining about not having enough time to slow down and enjoy the holiday season – with all of the events to go to and the shopping to get done.

This year will be different. Most of us won’t need to think about we can strip down in our lives to enjoy Christmas. So —- make your home a place to enjoy this time. Play that Christmas music, watch those Christmas movies. Enjoy the lights on the tree, the candles .. whatever speak Christmas to you – and enjoy making those gifts.
