2018 – Finding Inspiration

As this new year gets underway, it is time for me to expand my creative quest for different and unique inspiration. Hopefully I can incorporate what I have seen thus far into my cards and other projects. This search has lead me into some different and interesting sites, away from the more popular cardmaking locations.  

Here are some of my better finds:

First of all, if you have not already found this lady on YT, I’d like to introduce you to Sandy Parker from Crafting for Almost Everyone. She has a wealth of product knowledge that she willingly shares as well as exciting projects. Sandy is an independent crafter which means she tells you what she has learned about so many products. One of her “shows” talks about embossing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4f7sStfkGs&t=844s.

Another very interesting site is a family owned ordering site: http://www.flonzcraft.com/index.php?route=common/home. Besides carrying some unique stamps (great prices), they carry a vast supply of different coloring books and cards. What I have seen of the coloring aspects could be used in conjunction with your card creations. I spent hours on that site enjoying their topics.

There are two other FB sites that captured my attention. The information, talent and design ideas on both have been opened to all levels from beginners to professional. 

Those sites are:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/768959146575859/about/  Perpetual Christmas Card Club, and

https://www.facebook.com/groups/358747767875731/   Prismascolor Combinations.

There is one more site (maybe more of a controversial topic) that some of you may find interesting. I have read many of the comments and viewed some of the products they discuss. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1476856552403005/  Unbranded Dies and Inspiration.

Well, I really must get back to my flowers today. Hope you will look into some of these sites, start to follow some and maybe join the clubs. Whatever you do, be creative.

Till next time,

May God Bless you and yours.
