If you are not a subscriber – what are you waiting for, LOL. FREE cardmaking ideas people!

Ian is taking me to the City for Dinner and a Hockey Game, then the next day, Birthday Shopping (YEAH) – so I’m going to be away from my computer for a couple of days but I’ll be back in time for the draw.
What could you win you ask?
Prize #1 – Crafty Meraki Reason to Smile Stamp and Die Set
Prize #2 – Crafty Maraki – All my Love Stamp and Die Set:
They will be mailed through the post office, and as we are currently living in Canada, could take up to two weeks to arrive. Disclaimer: I am not responsible, if they get lost in the mail…..I will pay for a tracking number to hopefully cut down on the chances of that happening, but ultimately, I have no control over the post office, LOL.
Ok, that’s it for me today, I desperately need a couple of days off, so I’m taking them. I have a bunch of videos and cards in the hopper, that will be coming your way very soon. Thanks as always for your support. I do very much appreciate it.
HUGS

Have a great birthday! I love dies & paper piecing, but I just bought alcohol markers and I am looking forward to learning a new skill.
Happy birthday, Sandi. It looks like you will have a nice day to celebrate in the city. I hope you have a wonderful dinner and that your team wins. I’m not big into hockey these days- the Flames are so inconsistent – not unlike the Leafs. Also, my son in law has gotten me more interested in “football” aka soccer. My favorite card technique changes frequently but right now I am into resist embossing.
I love mixed media. I’m just starting with it, but am really enjoying it.
Please let me know if I happen to win as I don’t do Facebook.
Happy BD, enjoy your time off!
I’m loving stenciling to color in images quickly!
You deserve a break, Sandi!! Happy birthday!!!! Enjoy it!

Happy Birthday! Favourite technique is heat embossing. Take care!
Happy birthday Sandi! You deserve a few fun days off. Glad you are taking them. We have to take care of ourselves. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. You are very talented and always inspire me to try something new.
I’m partial to fun folds lately. People who receive my cards think I’m some kind of magician…..lol. Love to make them smile!
Right now I am crazy about using Lindy’s Magicals on my card backgrounds on the Prima 6 x 6 Paintables!
Happy Birthday, Sandi! So many techniques to choose from- depends on the nature of the card. I adore layered stencils, masking, smooshing inks for unique backgrounds and splatter! I hope you have a lovely birthday celebration!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET FRIEND SANDI! HAVE AN AWESOME DAY AND MONTH CELEBRATING YOU!💜🤗🎂🎉🎈🎈
My favorite, let me think, die cutting and coloring, 3D stencil and ink blending of all kinds. I love trying new techniques too!
HUGS,
Happy Birthday Sandi! My favorite card technique is to heat emboss.
I enjoy a little bit of everything in card making. Lately I really enjoy using stencils! Happy Birthday!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!
I love fun fold cards!
Happy happy birthday Sandi! Hope it’s a fabulous celebration in the city. My favorite technique has to be heat embossing. It’s like magic! Of course closely followed by ink blending, stenciling, and on it goes. Those look like wonderful prizes.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Sandi! Hope you have awesome fun celebrating with dinner and shopping. My ‘favorite’ card making technique right now is paper folding. I don’t have any fancy tools like die cuts, though I do have a circle and square hole punch, and I just bought myself a new cutter that came with interesting tools that I’ve not used before, so will be trying to figure out what to do with those. I’ve been making invitation cards [basic fold the paper in half] for a church ministry offering a party for Carepartners with dementia and their Caregivers, once a month. A theme is decided upon and I create the cards to be mailed. My daughter gave me a book on paper-folding, and I’ve tried making some pop-up cards. After the card making summit, my card for April is going to be a folded card that I saw in one of the presentations…so far, it is looking quite cool. I wanted to try a shaker box [in the shape of an egg], but haven’t found any, so I tried making my own. It looks a little wonky, so I may just use stickers for the embellishments unless I can get the shaker egg to look better before I have to mail them out. Again, Happy Birthday!
I love coloring images and cutting them out with matching dies. Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!!
I like to watercolor with embossed imaged. Still learning but love when it turns out
Happy Birthday!
You don’t look 66! Cardmaking must be keeping you young. Hope you have a great adventure. The closest I’ve ever come to a Hockey game is taking pictures of a Zamboni. My latest favorite is foiling – with my SB Glimmer, Cricket Maker and Joy, and the WR Foil Quill. I don’t have access to a laser printer, so I think that is about the only foil technique I haven’t tried.
Hip, Hip Hooray! You will be celebrating your birthday! Wishing you the happiest birthday and much happiness and love for all the future birthdays too! Sounds like your plans are a perfect and going to bring lots of joy to you. Want to say thank you (and to all those who take the time to help us aspiring paper crafters) for helping us to learn new techniques and for inspiring/encouraging us. My favorite is the challenge of learning new techniques, especially if it makes me step out of my comfort zone. I never thought I had a creative bone in my body, but have been surprised since I was introduced to paper crafting that I do (even if it is a small one)! So it has amazed me how much joy art brings not only to the creator but also to the recipient. What could be better in life than to bring joy to others…
Happy Birthday Sandi! Today is my Birthday too! I hope you have a fantastic day! I plan to play in my craft room today. My favorite is hot foil. Love shiny, blingy cards.
Happy birthday to you! Have a great day!! My favorite techniques are hot foiling and watercoloring. I really enjoyed your demonstrations at Card Makers Summit.
Happy Birthday!!
My favorite technique is to make stamped and ink blended or watercolored flowers.
Happy Birthday, it’s my birthday month too!
I’m new to card making and currently loving heat embossing. Enjoy your day!
Happy birthday to you!
My favorite technique is using up paper pads. I have alot of paper and love to use them up.
Happy, happy birthday Sandi! Have a wonderful couple of days!
The shopping certainly sounds fun! My favourite technique is
die cutting! That way I frequently get to use some of my scraps!
My favorite is embossed images and coloring with layered stencils. Happy Birthday.
