Birthday, Clear Stamp Sets, Crazy Z Fold

good morning! We got home at 2:30 am. long night but Kevin is a night owl so night driving is better!

I ran out of my girlie birthday cards on Saturday during the show in Collinsville so I quickly designed another and today’s card is the sample. We liked doing this make n take format and might add it to our other format. It was received well! Fun Card.

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Funky Folds

Good Morning ☀️

We are frantically getting orders out and trying to make stamps for Collinsville. Our booth placement stinks in Collinsville so likely don’t need to worry about making stamps anyway 🤪

So we are changing our make n take format for Collinsville. We will not have our usual set up but we will be doing two different make n takes. Four spots. More like Paper Cut format. We are doing two different birthday cards. This masculine card and a girlie card that I will post tomorrow!

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold, Funky Folds

Good Morning! We have a lot going on here with the new toy hauler and modifying the booth to fit.

Spent yesterday afternoon in the studio and only got one card done 😬🙄🤨 it was not a productive afternoon. I was trying to do a new fold and have lots of crazy scored things that didn’t work.

Today’s card is from a few days ago. It is a favorite of mine. I’m planning to teach a class next year called Funky Folds and this card is going to be one of them.

Birthday, Crazy Z Fold

the crazy z folds continue!! We’ve have been very busy with our broken trailer. We have come to a resolution with the manufacture and are satisfied. We need to empty the entire trailer which is a huge job! I need less stuff!!

I’ve been using our dies that match stamps. I don’t know why I resisted so long! They really are too much fun and easy to use.
