Finally got round to starting my holiday cards! Shopping my stash to generate storage. But as Margareth at Sevenplaza would say: I'm cutting down scraps to make more scraps.

Trying not to overthink it and going with the flow. My partner really likes them; says they're modern and fresh.

Yes, I used a heat gun to warm the tape up 😆

Hello, and today I have a question (especially for all members from Germany)
:
Which glue is right for me?
I’m currently using Tombow (green), but particularly with small and narrow pieces it bothers me that it’s sometimes visible and then, of course, remains sticky.
So I’d like to add another glue to my collection and have the following criteria:

- available in Germany
- dries to a matt finish, ideally invisible or easy to remove
- quick-drying, but with a bit of wiggeling time so I can adjust small parts to the right position if needed
- doesn’t cause warping
- acid-free
- durable (cards mustn’t fall apart after a few years like with cheap school glue)

When it comes to warping, it seems everyone’s had a different experience. One video says, ‘Great, absolutely no warping at all’, and in the next one you see curled paper. However, the adhesives that are mentioned most frequently are not available here (listed below).

I don’t like the ones from Action. I’ve got both of them here, but haven’t used them for years. I can’t even remember why, but there must have been a reason ^^ Also not using anymore: glue from Craftelier.

At the moment, I’m leaning towards Nuvo and Art Glitter. What do you think? Could they be right for me?

Not available: Beacon 3 in 1, Bearly Art Glue, Boyle Craft Glue, Create-it Craft Liquid

Hi all

I am new here. I just thought I would share with you some cards I have just made over the last two weeks. One of them I will choose as a card for my Mum's birthday on November 1st. They are currently drying at the moment as I have just put a layer of Mod Podge over them.

…to make Christmas 🎄 cards! Work in progress ✌🏼😎

I'm looking for a budget-friendly new paper trimmer that's:

• A3 size (long side; 16.5 inches or larger); and
• Replacement blades are readily available in-store or online (Australia) (eg, on Amazon).

The main feature I'm concerned about is precise cuts. I usually only cut printed photos and roughly 200gsm cartridge paper (each 1 per time).

Any recommendations for both the trimmer and the replacement blades you get for it?

Thanks!

I haven’t been to Michael’s in a really long time and decided to check it out. Seeing the beading section reminded me that I lost the little triangle tray I used to use with my rhinestones and pearls. They had some overpriced ones with a tube of glue, but they had this one (still overpriced IMO at $8) and the idea of not having to fight to turn over my flat backs was intriguing, so I gave it a shot. Worst case, at least I’d have the triangle tray again! Y’all, it really is magic. There are slightly raised dots in the button part of the tray and that apparently makes all the difference, but a few gentle shakes and they were all face up! Just passing along if anyone else struggles with flat back embellishments!

A cute card for my kid who has an October birthday

Hi all, what is the best or any methods out there to get this type of embossing? Like the trees and bridge and mountains to be raised? Looking for ideas. I only know of the stampe folders but I have to create the stencil somehow....

I tried embroidering on paper and it’s pretty fun! I also don’t use any dies or stamps. I didn’t know dies were a thing until this sub. You guys make a lot of really beautiful work.

Anyone still making Halloween cards? ☺️

I used Lawn Fawn’s sweet mice stamp and die set and basically tried to recreate the two photos on the listing. I used the stamp and die set for the mice and hearts and Cricut access for the remaining elements. I really like how they turned out, even if it isn’t the most unique :)
