  • An Unboxing of My Crafty Haul

    **this post contains affiliate links I purchased products to create projects to share on my blog, any opinions are mine**

    I’m so excited to show y’all my craft haul from Scrapbook.com! I got an amazing box of goodies to play with. There were some things that I had been pining for that I finally ordered. I had been wanting some stitched dies for a while, I love the way they dress up a card background.

    I created my first ever video, don’t laugh, I was kinda nervous, I was sitting in the floor, and my craft room is a mess right now. Here it is take a peek!

    Some of My Favorite Parts of the Haul

    I am so excited and eager to play with the Sizzix Sidekick, I love how light and portable it is. The Big Shot is too big for my table and most of the dies I use are tiny ones. So this little guy is perfect for me.

    I had a bit of a theme going with stitched dies and stamps, as well as denim lol. It wasn’t really intentional but once I saw the adorable Honey Bee Pocket Full of Love stamps and dies it just kinda happened.

    I love that with any purchase you get a copy of the fantastic magazine Scrapbook and Cards Today. I always read it cover to cover and usually more than once! There are so many great ideas and inspiration. The pages are made with a nice weight of paper, and it’s free with purchase. With scrapbook and card making magazines pretty much obsolete now this magazine is very welcome.

    Coming Soon….

    Over the next few days I will be creating some cards using the new goodies and I’ll be sharing those with you guys! Oh, and stay tuned, I have another haul to unbox, hopefully I’ll get that one posted today. I have to admit even through my awkwardness it was kind of fun to do the video, took me way out of my comfort zone. Next time I do videos I hope to be more organized and less nervous.

    Happy crafting!

  • Simon Says Stamp March 2020 Card Kit Unboxing

    Hi everyone!

    I am thrilled to be crafting again. Have you ever taken a long time off from crafting and creating due to life situations? In my case, it was major depression and anxiety. Well, I gotta say I now realize that crafts, journaling, creativity, etc can be forms of therapy.

    Now that I’ve started my new journey with A Quirky Crafter I am finding inspiration everywhere. It’s almost like someone flipped the light switch and I have found new passion! I wanna do all things crafty, and I am totally loving this blogging adventure.

    With the new adventure I’m finding myself trying new things that are out of my comfort zone….and I LOVE it! Such as, I hate hearing my voice on recordings, I’m totally Southern lol, and I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera. BUT, today I did my first two EVER unboxing videos for two of my very favorite crafty companies. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s me, real and unfiltered lol.

    This post I’m featuring Simon Says Stamp. I have followed Simon Says Stamp for many years, I love that they offer a monthly card kit. I’ve never been disappointed, this is my first kit in probably 4 years and I’m so excited to share it! *this is not an affiliate post, all opinions are mine*
