Forever Friends and the Club Start

Yesterday was a great day and a learning experience, all in one. We had our first Local Card and Paper Craft Swap Club Meeting at my home. We managed to make five cards. Most of these girls are beginners and a bit intimidated. I allowed them to use kits to start with as the kits are inclusive and these girls have limited supplies. This gave them a pretty, but basic card project to try and then to share with others. Most kits have eight to nine cards in them, so there is one for everyone. Here is what the girls came up with, along with my own Happy Birthday heat embossed card.

Tutorial Thursday today – July 13, 2023 – was done from a card kit. I chose Forever Friends with eight cards, four of two versions. I love the kits and know my beginner customers do too. I decided to open one and do it for the tutorial to give everyone an idea of how the kits come in the mail and what is included. I then went onto part 2 and did a couple alternative versions. The kit I used is #162363, Forever Friends, and can be ordered HERE.

Happy Stamping!

Tutorial Thursday and Legendary Ride

I completed my TT and have it downloaded on my YouTube Channel – YouTube.com/@niecycraftsandmore. I could not add links to my video and need to work on it. To be sure anyone that wants to CASE this card can do so, I will leave instructions here, too.

Swaps with the Cali Girls and Tutorial

I’ve been wanting to create a card with a drapery fold for sometime, since Easter! I planned to make them and send to my swap gals in California. Well, life happened and it I didn’t get them done for Easter. I like it so much, however, I decided to make them an early Easter card for 2024! I completed the cards for our June Swap and also made my Tutorial Thursday video to post to my YouTube Channel later this week. Please check it out on Thursday at Youtube.com/@niecycraftsandmore.

The difference in colors is simply lighting on my camera.

Happy Stamping!

REAL RED & GARDEN GREEN 3/8″ (1 CM) RIBBON COMBO PACK

I have often mentioned wanting to expand my business and know that can only be done with effort and time. Now that I have a YouTube Channel, I must use it! In January, 2023, I will start three new programs – Tuesday Tips, a short video with tips I’ve learned for stamping along the way, Wednesday Chat, a dedicated hour to chat with customers with questions, suggestions, ideas, whatever, and Tutorial Thursdays, a prerecorded video showing a design and project with instructions and a product list.

Tuesdays Tips will be live every Tuesday at 4PM, Arizona time.

Wednesday Chats will be live every Wednesday at 6PM, Arizona time.

Tutorial Thursday videos will post around 2PM, Arizona time and will begin January 12th!

All programs will stay on the channel so if you miss it, no problem. You can see what was discussed and or made. I sincerely hope this plan helps other stampers and will draw some new customers. Time will tell.

On the day the newest Mini Catalog becomes available, January 5th, 2023, I will actually do a walkthrough of the new catalog and the Sale-A-Bration catalog. This will be on the same channel at 6PM. The Tutorial Thursdays will begin the next week!

I hope to see you on YouTube!
