Embrace Imperfection with Kintsugi

Embrace Imperfection – Remember, crafting is all about the journey, not perfection. It’s OK if things don’t turn out exactly as planned; the most important part is ENJOYING the process and expressing yourself.

Lovin' the Kintsugi philosophy of celebrating imperfection!  Here I used the Inspiring Imperfections Bundle, Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Paper, Joined Together Embossing Folder, and of course GOLD FOIL to create this card.  CLICK HERE for a tutorial with supplies, measurements, and step-by-step instructions!  

This card was one of three cards we made at our July Card Class!  This monthly in-person class is held the second Tuesday of the month at JJ Twig's in Wauconda, Illinois.  If you're local, we'd love to stamp with you!  See more details for the August Card Class HERE!

Celebrate the Day Notecards and more!

This week's Tuesday Lunch & Learn Facebook Live featured the Day to Celebrate stamp set only available during Sale-a-Bration.  I CASE'd the catalog and made the cute box with some edits.  (I mentioned the Sample Recipes for the SAB brochure projects and you can see that HERE).

The photo above is the sample that's featured in the SALE-A-BRATION brochure.  I swapped out Petal Pink cardstock for the Designer Series Paper they used for the treat box.  You can watch my Live video to see how I did that!  Unfortunately, I was having some connectivity issues during filming and the video got cut a bit short of the end, but you can see the completion of the project.

Watch how to put together the box below.

 

So, after filming, I stamped some notecards using the supplies I had on my desk.  What do you think?  They were super-quick to make!  I love the sparkle of the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems!

It's time for a SALE-A-BRATION!

Tuesday, January 7, 2025, is a wonderful day for a SALE-A-BRATION!  It's that time of year for FREE stampin' stuff!  When you place your qualifying order ($60/$120) you get to choose a product (or two) from the FOURTEEN options in the 2025 Sale-a-Bration brochure!

These featured projects here use the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper from the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog and the Documenting the Day stamp set (only available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration reward).  The large font of this stamp set is great for scrapbooking, but also fits on cards!

The Wildflower Birthday Suite is my favorite in the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog!  How amazing is it that I found gift bags in Pool Party at a local craft store?  I love how I can coordinate my card with the gift packaging!  Scroll on down to see the supplies used for these two projects!
