Hi there! Long-time lurker, first-time poster. :) Hope this is allowed!
I've loved making cards as a hobby, but a switch flipped for me recently when I hosted an informal workshop and realized that helping others discover papercrafting is rewarding on a whole other level. So I'm trying to set up a small business teaching workshops, both for crafters and people who have never crafted before. I've been lucky enough to team up with a local craft store and have been connecting with other communities (like church groups and support groups) who might be interested in a workshop, but I'm open for suggestions on where I might turn to find an audience. :)
Where would you expect to come across a flyer/other info about a workshop like this, either as a crafter or not? For crafters...I don't think we're allowed to advertise here, so maybe a different papercrafting forum like Split Coast Stampers...? Maybe Craigslist for non-crafters?
Any ideas on what you'd be willing to pay for a small-group workshop? Would you want to pay a little extra for all materials included, even if you're already a crafter who has their own supplies?
Really grateful for any ideas you're willing to share as I slowly integrate myself into this community. :)
Hello, I’d like some feedback on my card if you guys are willing to critique. I used a cricut joy to write, and cut some of the shapes out, otherwise it was all handmade.
Sorry for the terrible filming, I was alone and I was trying to do it all with one hand lol
Quick and easy thank you card created using patterned paper from Shimelle (Never Grow Up collection), prima flowers and brads from my stash.
We were discussing crafting videos the other day and I’m still thinking about it. Does anyone still do blogs or classes that I can follow without relying on a video? I love the combination of both, I’m open to suggestions. Thanks!
This is one of a line of dachshund cards I’m creating. Each card features a silhouette of a dachshund with a sentiment cutout and a different jeweled collar. This is just a prototype , created before I had a good grasp of how to apply glue without getting it on the card,
Which one do you use? Or if you have both, which do you prefer?
Run your scraps through an embossing folder. It helps give the “quilt” texture. Fun to do❣️
I was trying to make Christmas cards that involved the color blue this morning.
I'm new to card making and bought a few kits from Spellbinders. In each kit these rolls of 1/4" white tape are included. I don't see a use for it. Help me out please,

I’d like to avoid single sided as there’s no protection on the paper side if possible.
It's been a while since I've made a shaker card but a friend of mine plays the electric guitar so I wanted to make it extra special for him and his wife.
I love watching YouTube videos about card making. I follow most of the "big names" and a lot of the not-so-big-names. I really enjoy all of them. Except....
So many have either switched to doing mostly live videos, or are exclusively live videos only. I just don't have the time - or honestly the patience - to watch an hour long video. Listening to the chit chat drives me crazy, so sometimes I watch them on mute and just fast forward to the parts where they are actually making something. I really appreciate it when the same Crafter releases an edited version of their live, but many don't.
How do you feel about them?
I know about the many online websites, but I was really hoping there would be a few physical locations where I could look at stamps, dies, etc. Joann and Michaels basically have no stock!
Hi - I was gifted a Sizzix Fabi from a friend today she no longer does quilting nor do I
Can I use the sizzix fabi the same as I would a big shot for card making and paper crafts please ?
I’ve always wanted a sizzix big shot , I tried to search the difference between sizzix fabi and sizzix big shot but I’m not tech savvy and couldn’t find out if they are the same thing can anyone help please .
I have a Cricut maker 3 however being I’m not tech savvy the process is tedious for card making and I’ve been to scared to try it I like the simplicity of the sizzix big shot
