It all Starts With an Idea. My First Blog Post!
Sometimes things can be scary. Like writing a blog, starting a business, and even figuring out how to create content. But guess what? Crafters are CREATIVE! We have a brain full of amazing ideas and all we need is an outlet. I decided to start this blog to have a place for all my thoughts, crafty plans and over the top ideas. It’s also a great way to keep myself accountable..since I do have a little problem with consistency. Life gets in the way, imposter syndrome sets in and sometimes just the thought of creating anything can be overwhelming! But I’ve realized lately that life moves on, whether we are ready or not. So take that leap, post that content, complete that goal and shoot your shot! Whatever you have been waiting for, just start! We can do this together, we just need an idea 💡
Here’s what you can expect from me:
Crafty Content
Visual Aides
Monthly Projects
Chats about all things small business, trends, and social media

Shamrock Paper Banner-
This adorably easy paper banner is perfect for small spaces and even better for your wallet as it only took 5 sheets of cardstock!

I used Bazzill brand from Jo-Anns in the following colors:
Greenbriar (embossed dots) x 1 sheet
Aqua textured x 1 sheet
Pear textured x 1 sheet
Gold metallic foil cardstock from The Craft Print shop x 2 sheets. You can purchase here- www.thecraftprintshop.com

Last Minute Seasonal Kids T-Shirt
Mamas..I got you! We are busy…and the school is always needing something ( right??) Let’s take 40 mins and make a quick seasonal t-shirt so they don’t get pinched on the 17th.
I picked up this plain green tee from Michaels and white glitter HTV. My favorite brand is Siser, but for this one and done shirt, anything would work!
I used my heatpress, but you can do this with a household iron of you arent there yet on the craft machines.
Packaging Cards with NO Ink
Yep that right, you can create custom packaging cards ( in this case instructional cards) with a thermal printer. Best part is there is no ink is needed. Downside is its only good for black writing, but that works perfect for me! I made these inserts for my customers that like to purchase iron on decal and vinyl decals to use on their own blanks. These were quick, cheap and so easy to make using Canva!
