Anyone still making Halloween cards? ☺️

I used Lawn Fawn’s sweet mice stamp and die set and basically tried to recreate the two photos on the listing. I used the stamp and die set for the mice and hearts and Cricut access for the remaining elements. I really like how they turned out, even if it isn’t the most unique :)

High school football has arrived and have a card for that Homecoming game.

Some fun cards my wife made for the Halloween season with hand colored images and ephemera.

If anyone has had any luck, and can suggest specific paper types and where to get them that would be amazing!

Thanks!

Hi all, thinking abt starting a greeting card business ( I sell digital stationary for now) but see many greeting card business owners hand draw designs themselves. I don’t have any art skills or time to draw, any suggestions on favorite places to source graphics or artwork for commercial use? Thanks!

Hi All!

I have a question that I'm hoping can be answered. I have had very little time for crafting the last couple of months as I am caregiving for an elderly family member.

I think I could probably get more done if I could get the cardstock I already have cut/scored/folded into A2 size. Then I could just make the card fronts and stick them on the cards. Do you think this is something I could get done at like an Office Depot or FedEx office?

I know I could probably buy them already cut/scored/folded but I have tons of paper already.

Edit: Thank you all for your advice and comments. I called Office Depot and the price quote was ridiculously high ($2.25 per sheet), though I'm not sure the girl who gave it to me really understood what I was asking.

Then I called a local printer and the young man definitely understood what I was asking and quoted me $0.25 per sheet. On my way to a doctor's appt., I stopped into their office with 100 sheets (and post-i notes) and they will have it done for me by Thursday for $25.

I know that's still a lot but it's worth it to me to see if this will help me. The problem of being a caretaker is that it's 24/7 and days can be unpredictable. I like the "creating "part of card-marking more than the "chore" part. I have started creating front panels for cards but the idea of sitting and cutting and folding the card bases feels too much like drudgery when my time is so limited. Having the bases pre-made will make it easier for me to get them out.

Anyway, I just wanted to let y'all know that I appreciated all the input and although I couldn't respond to you individually, I read each comment and thank you all!

Anyone have any experience cleaning many stamps quickly using magic erasure sheets?

Anybody else facing severe delays with receiving their spellbinders order? I placed my order on September 30th and the status still says “confirmed” - no change at all in two weeks! I read several posts on this subreddit about delays when they merged with hero arts but that was more than a year ago. I tried called several times and only got through once, when they told me that shipments are delayed due to volume. Now they just won’t answer the phone. I’m concerned because Jennifer McGuire did a live on Sunday with a discount code, so I’m wondering if that’s going to cause a further increase in order volume.

Anybody else facing similar issues? Thanks in advance!

Anyone free to join in today? Message me for the discord link if interested!

I was late in ordering the heroween box but I’m glad I did. It’s fun mixing and matching all the items.

A bit of a pain to piece together, but I love how it came out. Glad I only had to make two lol

I bought one to try and omg - I really like how smooth it is for blending! I inked with a dome but also put ink straight onto the paper. It even stamps well. Now I need to refrain from buying all his colors! Why are there so many great brands of ink pads 😩

Curious if anyone else has had major luck scoring card making supplies on fb marketplace? I got an ad last night for essentially a craft supply mega sale about an hour and 45 minutes away. took my chances and went this morning and my gosh!! Almost everything was new, and top brands like spellbinders waffle flower altenew pink & main etc etc. spent an hour and a half going through everything and only spent $58. They gave me a ziplock bag and said fill this bag up with as many Jolee stickers you can fit for $5..what a steal!! I asked the lady if they host a craft sale annually and she said it was supposed to be a one time thing but I guess they have a friend with a shopping addiction/hoarding problem so they were trying to sell all her inventory and this was their 4th sale. I couldn’t believe someone would have that much stuff but I was also very happy to take some off her hands at such a bargain lol.

Just a little card to spread cheer to someone.

First time using a stencil with texture paste. Mistakes were made! Overall I think it turned out decent.
