So happy I just found this sub!

I'm looking to get custom stationary made for a friend's wedding present. I want it to be classy, traditional, high-quality writing paper but looking to keep the price as low as possible. The dream would be to have something like the image below.

Everything I've seen is +$2 per card (inc. envelope) - which is out of budget.

Does anyone have any ideas or direction for this? I was considering getting an ink stamp made and some high quality writing paper myself but unsure how this might turn out. How high a quality have you had success in doing this?

Edit: I'm US based but friend is in UK so both work if you know any suppliers

i just got a brother scan n cut 2 CM350 and the touchscreen cracked in shipping. The touch isnt responsive but the display is just like normal, some part of the screen can be touched. Please help me or give some hope that i can fix this.

I made this card for a baby shower. Baby is 4 months old. I took inspiration from pinterest. I want to give credit to the original artist. Kari Designs.

I am trying to lock in a solid method to print cards. Can anyone advise on the following:

• Card stock (I love the matte look, but I understand some would look better in a glossier card stock).

• I would also like to know how I can print cards with totally black backgrounds (as opposed to the typical white). So far I've had to have my printer ink the whole background). Any easier ways? Can one print white on black card stock?

• Also, for any situation where I want the whole card background to be a certain colour, do I just get that card stock or do I use my printer's ink?

• Any tips on printer settings. Is an inkjet with pigment ink good enough or should I get a dye ink system?

I use my cricut with an embossing pen usuallly to add glitter details to my card stock print and cut sentiments. I experimented with a cheap photo paper to print and the quality is so much better however I’m having issues with the embossing pens and glitter adhering to the paper. I used matte photo paper from Walmart. Has anyone found a good brand of photo paper that works well with heat embossing? Or maybe a good glue pen? I’m using ranger embossing pen.

I’m looking for a stamp, or a stamp set , that has a very large stamp(s) in it and fairly affordable. I have background stamps , so not those but an image e like a flower etc. I realize the bigger the single stamps usually they are higher price , but hoping to get a few ideas. When I try to google “large stamps”, it just shows me sets of stamps with lots of images in it. Thank you in advance!

I’m in the market for a new trimmer. I have had various fiskars trimmers over the years and they always end up cutting crooked. The most important thing for me is a straight, crisp cut. Any recommendations?

Does this exist? Having trouble finding one

It seems like most videos I watch the maker talks about adding layers is a goal? Is there a principle behind that?

I’m so anxious about posting here bc everything you lovely people post is so pretty and polished, but here goes! I wanted to try out a shaker card and I must’ve watched a million videos - it was… more labor intensive than I expected lol but here’s the final product. I definitely think I’ll try again!

But, I had the die set....

I have so many clear and unmounted rubber stamps that I’ve collected over the years. None of them are in their original packaging, but all clear stamps are attached to their original plastic backing.

I am really struggling with a way to store them, with them being accessible and at least somewhat ordered.

In the past I have tried folders with plastic sleeves and then I tried tall wallets for a bit. But nothing really works.

How do you store your stamps?

I dunno about you, but I’m super excited for the new season of Bridgerton. I dug out this retired “some odd girl” stamp called Royal and coloured her up.
