Card Style!

Happy Thursday!


Have you seen this new Card Style magazine?! Wowza! It's chock full of goodness! (Is that an expression, chock full? Where does that come from?!) I got a copy the other day and I could not put it down! There's a little quiz at the beginning to find out what style you are: 1. fun & cute 2. clean & graphic 3. shabby & vintage 4. classy & elegant. Then the magazine is separated into four sections with tons of fabulous samples of each card style. I was lucky enough to get my Santa card published in the clean & graphic style, but now I'm dying to try out some more styles!



I think my favorite part of the magazine is where Kim Hughes uses one sketch and similar colors to create one card in each style, you can see some details here. That's my next goal! I'm going to play with a sketch and see if I can try to create four different cards with it, one in each style. Do you want to try too?!



And I'm still working on my stamp room. Still, you say? YES, still! lol! I had a punch dilemma and that has been solved, yippee! The last dilemma: 7,483 cards! Okay, maybe I'm exagerrating, but it doesn't feel like it. I sent like 300 to Operation Write Home last year, and I have another box just about ready to go. But I still need an easily accessible place for newly created cards, Etsy cards, cards separated by occasion, etc. I think I found a solution at The Container Store yesterday, but it's going to require me "reconfiguring it" (and yes, it won't be returnable if it doesn't work, ha!) so I'm building up the strength to attempt that now. Of course, in the meantime, I've started stamping again, so the neat and clean spaces from last week are no longer neat and clean, sigh. Such is the life, right?!


Okay, enough rambling! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
