I’ll Tumble for You!

0

I have a love for all things craft related and that means more than just hand-crafted greeting cards. Especially vinyl, heat vinyl, t-shirts, and I’ve dabbled with painting wood, but I’ll show you that later.  I’m still trying to perfect my painting skills (LOL).  These two tumblers were made as a gift for two family members, sisters.  One of them is a diesel mechanic and when her dad tells his friends his daughter is a diesel mechanic he beams a great proud smile and says, “She’s my little grease monkey!”  

The other daughter loves all things Japanese, so much so that she minored in Japanese in college!  Her senior year in college she ventured on a two-week vacation to Japan with a friend.  When she returned home she told stories of how the wonderful people of Japan repeatedly asked one question, “Where did you learn Japanese? You speak it so well!” 

If you want to make something with these two designs here you go!  Select desired file: Grease Monkey Evolution (PNG, SVG), Japanese Girl Drinking Tea (PNG, SVG).

Enjoy!

I have been blessed with a gift I didn’t know I had until after my military retirement.  I’m a naturally gifted Graphic Art Designer.  I don’t create graphic designs, I purchase them from other designers and I incorporate them into my custom pieces.  I’m so blessed with the addition to my endeavor that my cup overfloweth.   Hence the reason to this oh so cute banner I made for a customer.  You can see more of my custom pieces here.

Beside being super busy with creating personalized master-pieces, I’ve discovered that our Whisper White Cardstock is oh so perfect for printing rich colorful prints.  You can’t even tell that the banner is an actual print straight out of my color laser printer can ya?

On the Wedding Day

Wedding

Simple Elegance is how I feel about this card.  A little card for a big day!  This very card has had the biggest (almost said hugest…LoL) impact in my card-making hobby/business.  How?  It all began with friends requesting I make them a very special one-of-a-kind (not anymore) card.  Then someone else asked of I could make some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cards for their son’s birthday and that’s when I couldn’t keep up.  Heck, I’m still catching up.

Although I already know that my card-making will never stop, I will always make time to make those sweet little kid birthday card requests.  I know Etsy is a big deal now-a-days and everyone orders digitally created invitations then print them from home or a local box store.  Well I researched it one step further and found out that YOU too can make your custom-made party themed invitations with Mini/Micky Mouse, Superman, Batman, or whoever you wish.  To find a free theme invite simply search the name of the character and add PNG to the end of the search and you’ll get thousands of ideas.  However, you do have to be a little computer/software savvy to get the party started.

 I posted a few of my custom-made items on the local Facebook groups in my area and within a few hours I received more requests and orders that I didn’t step foot into my craft room the entire week!  I thought to myself, “What was I thinking!”  The answer was simple, I love to share my God Given talent with others! 

MAGGIE MADE TIPS:

  • White Space.  I’ve written about white space before and besides loving it so much, there is something you should know when attempting to leave so much open space on a card.  Layers!  Yes, it’s all about the layers…the more the better because the variations in color make all the difference and pull the eye away from seeing all that white space.  The eye doesn’t like clutter and the borderd layers gives the perception of nothing but elegance.  Seriously, look at the card and what do you see?  Husband…it doesn’t get any sweeter than.

Always Open.  This week I had a conversation with a friend who expressed her desire for a discount on her paper-crafting supplies, but fear a committment or a penalty if she signed up just to receive constant reminders about making sales or holding workshops.  I told her that my team is a non-hassle, non-committment, no sales requirement team.  What does that mean?  Read it  here.

Thank you so much for cathing up with me…until tomorrow Stay Crafty My Friends.
