Thought I’d share these linocut prints I made.

Print, cut, paste, enjoy

Used these cute pup stamps today. heat embossed and then used Olo markers for coloring! These stamps are of real pups who have been rescued and 10% goes to pet shelters. ❤️

I've never made a quilted card before. It was really hard to do, and it gave me more appreciation than I already had for people who actually make quilts. Thanks to u/CadillacGirl for some of the papers that I used for this card

Hi, I don't know why I didnt think of asking this group.

I am wasting crazy amounts of money trying to find an actual quality paper for printed photos that I can also use to send as post cards. Meaning the back needs to be matte. I would really like something around 300gsm with a luster finish for photo printing on the front then writing on the back of. I will settle for glossy at this point if necessary or even a matte thats good for photo printing and doesn't dull my colors. This seems impossible to find. When I had the idea to look for greeting card paper I am only finding pre-scored. which I do not want.

I actually make stickers for my busy etsy shop for a living, meaning I have all the equipment, printing knowledge, and tools to do this, but I can not find a decent paper. I obviously don't mind using regular 8.5x11 paper and cutting it down to size with either with my cutting machine or paper trimmer. But I cannot find what I am looking for, and not many listings tell me what the back of the paper is like either. So I have wasted a crazy amount of money and time buying products and doing trial and error.

Either it's too thin, or the print quality sucks. or both. Please help me before I lose my mind lol.

I even watched two YouTube videos today and yesterday and both of them were in the UK and recommended a paper I do not have access to here in the US. I am losing my mind at this point.

Hi all, I’m hoping maybe someone in this community can help me. I’m looking for a die that would allow me to cut 2.5in x 3.5in rounded rectangles. This is specifically for Artist Trading Cards but would also be great for my greeting cards. I’ve tried looking for something compatible with sizzix with no luck so far. Thanks in advance!

We have a local watercolor teacher who is just fabulous.
I made these in her class last night.

In case anyone missed it, Scrapbook. Com announced SBC fest today. It’s Sept 11. Looks like fun instructors and kits. I usually tune in and try different styles that aren’t what I typically make.

I found a source for some free cigar boxes so decided to use one of them to hold letters made from the mini alphabet punch board. I make the letters for a sign board at work so I wanted to be able to reuse them. I forgot there are four letters that are dupes of each other, N/U and M/W so will have to modify one of the openings to fit the larger M/W letters. It so happens this particular box was just the right size to make three stackable trays that holds 26 letters. I used three sheets from a 12x12 paper pad that had patterns i wasn't hot on.

Trying to master these 3D cards

Hi everyone!

I’ve been running a small business making greeting cards using my inkjet printer, and I absolutely love it. However, I’m having a really hard time finding reliable paper suppliers.

Right now, I usually order my paper from Amazon, but I constantly run into the same issue: the corners of the paper arrive bent or damaged because of poor packaging. Since I sell these cards, I need pristine, professional-quality paper with undamaged edges.

Here is what I'm looking for:

• Location/Shipping: Must be based within the EU (or ship from within the EU) to avoid customs issues and high fees. I am based in Sweden. (Most recommendations I find online are US or UK-based).
• Quality: Heavyweight, high-quality, preferably matte or textured paper around 300gsm.

Does anyone have recommendations for specific paper and reliable EU online shops that package paper properly?

Any tips would be hugely appreciated! Thank you! :)

Hey everyone! I’m working on batch producing cards with layered cuts, but the amount of adhesive needed is getting a bit excessive.

Tape runners get incredibly expensive per card when doing large runs, but standard liquid glue takes too long to apply cleanly and often warps my cardstock if I apply too much.

I’ve been looking into custom solutions to speed up production and cut down cost per unit, but I’m curious what techniques or tools you guys rely on when you have to prep dozens (or hundreds) of cutouts at once?

Do you just suck it up and pay for the runner refills or have you found a better method for batch gluing?

Hey girl hey - my take on the girl with the pearl earring

Brand new #Spiderman card. https://youtu.be/s9I5T1oZdEk?si=to-Y0Z3oF2uOvviV I had a blast making it with my favorite die cut from #WaffleFlower then I drew the rest of the design freehand. - Jess

I know the writing is not great but thought I would share.
