If you follow me on Instagram (@unifyhandmade) you may have
already seen two of the cards I’m showing here on my blog today. I made these
cards for fun, and I like having lots of them on hand and ready to go for
myself and for my family and friends as well. The last stash I had collected
was running very low, and lately I’ve been trying to make at least one card a
day—for fun, to keep my stash alive, hehe. I think making one card a day is an
easy goal—and it’ll certainly be a fun one. It seems as though I’ve haven’t
been making as many cards as I used to these past couple of months. But now I’d
like to ensure I put time aside to create at least one card a day. I think I’ve
said this in the past a few times, but this time around I’m really going to
make time for all of my stamps, dies, and other craft tools. I can’t let them
just sit there collecting dust. They’re all too cute and fun not to use!
I do get my crafty fix when I’m working all day on the
papercrafts I sell in my shop—and that’s such a blessing it itself. Maybe that’s
why I didn’t even realize that I wasn’t making enough cards for fun because I
have fun everyday just working on orders, too. Once in a while when I’m working
I’ll glance over at my stamp stash and realize they’re being neglected but I
always tell myself, “Oh the weekend, I’ll make as many cards for fun as I can”
or, “I’ll make one card tonight before bed”. Usually I’ll post a light night
card on my Instagram, hehe.
This weekend I also went to Lawn Fawn’s 4th
birthday party at, Stamp Fever, in Orange, CA. It’s a cute little craft shop
filled with all the things to fulfil your crafting needs—plus the staff there
is super nice! If they don’t have something you need, they’ll simply order it
for you. Kelly Marie, and Mike, (two out of the three LF owners) were there greeting
everyone, and doing fun make-n-takes. It was really fun to be in a fun crafty
environment with friends. I even took my boyfriend, Gabriel, and I made him do
a make-n-take with, Nancy, hehe.
While I was at Stamp Fever I picked up a few new stamp sets,
and dies. I’ll probably be sharing those on my blog soon. I love supporting
small business so I tried to spend as much as I could without going overboard
at Stamp Fever—actually I think I did go a little overboard but it’s ok! Haha.
Tomorrow I have a new video on the Lawn Fawn blog so I hope
you stop by their page to view it. I’ll probably share it here on my blog as
well.
I hope you have a great day!
