hello all my paper crafting friends. Today is my birthday – Happy Birthday to Me – But YOU are going to get the gifts. Yes, I’m doing a Birthday Give Away. Not only because it’s my birthday, but I also hit a big milestone over on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL – 22,000 subscribers – THANK YOU SO MUCH for making that happen. If you are not a subscriber – what are you waiting for, LOL. FREE cardmaking ideas people!
Happy Birthday to Me Prize Giveaway:
There are two prizes up for grabs:
- To enter all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CARD MAKING TECHNIQUE?

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

Fun folds always intrigue me.
Happy Birthday, Sandi! I hope you are enjoying an extra special day! It sounds like you have some fun plans! My birthday is in March too!
I love using die cuts on my cards! That’s my favorite card making technique!
🥳 Happy Birthday! My favorite technique with card along is embossing an image and watercoloring within the borders. A close second would be stamping a build up flower. Have a lovely day
Happy Birthday Sandi. My favourites are ink blending, paper piecing, and lots of flowers. Dry and ink embossing are fun to play with as well.
Happy Birthday. Enjoy your day. I just started foiling and really enjoying it. I’m also learning how to do ink blending.
Happy Birthday and congratulations on your great milestone. I just found you during the CMSS, February 2023 and have already signed up for updates on your blog. My favorite card making technique is interactive cards and fancy folds. Love to make them come to life.
Happy birthday Sandi! Enjoy your special dinner, game and the shopping 🛍🛍
I have so many favourite techniques but right now seem to enjoy blending brushed and fun folds?
Thanks for the chance to win these fabulous prizes😘
A very Happy Birthday to you, Sandi!
Have yourself a fantastic day and enjoy your events and your time out.
All the Best.

Happy Birthday Sandi!
My favourite technique these days is layering stencils. I just love how gorgeous they are.
All the best to you – I hope you enjoy your special day.
Definitely hot foil followed by layered stencils. Happy B-day!
Happy Birthday and congrats on all the followers. My favourite technique is embroidering on paper. Don’t like sewing on fabric but, somehow, on paper is a whole new experience. I also love trying new techniques and challenges. Thanks
Happy Birthday!! One of my many favorite techniques is using die cuts either with stamps or to create on their own.
Wishing you a very happy birthday. I love and have tried many of your techniques but seem to always come back to Copic coloring, especially on critters and flowers. I do want to get into more watercoloring. I love the look but am not very good at it yet. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Birthday Sandi! Enjoy your dinner out and the hockey game. Of course the best part is the birthday shopping, isn’t it?
In order to give my favorite card making technique I will have to list a few of them. I love to use floral layered stamps. I will keep trying until I can line them up even if it is a hard one. I like to color with Altenew Artist markers and Prismacolor pencils. I do”8ike shiny things so have gotten into hot foiling after trying Heat Wave foiling and a bit of foiling with the Deco foils. Lastly, I like to use stencils for background and blend with blending brushes.
Happiest birthday wishes Sandi! My favourite technique is using blending brushes on a background or with masking. Cheers 🥂 to another great year!
Have a very Happy Birthday! Lately I am loving using stencils and ink blending. All the very best.
Happy Birthday, Sandi! I’m a March birthday,too!. My new favorite technique is die cutting. I’m looking through my collection and using them in new ways. I’m all for recycling what I have. I am so glad I found your site! Love all you do!
Happy birthday, Sandi. I love making shaker cards! Thank you for always have ideas, tricks and tips for card making. Your cards inspire me. I wish I had gotten to know you more when you are my neighbor on McNary Rd in Oregon. 🎂🌹🍷🧸💕🤩
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDI!!
My favorite technique is “smooshing “. It’s always to cool to see that happens when you smoosh colors together and build up the layers.
Happy Birthday to you Sandi!!!
My all time favorite technique is ‘Iris Folding’ using Washi Paper…only I split all the lines in the pattern so it makes for a gorgeous card. My second favorite is ‘Faux Quilting’.
Enjoy your several days of BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
Happy Birthday, Sandi! 🎈🎂🎈 What a sweet thing to do for your birthday!
I love to use die cuts on my cards, and am just starting to play with guilding wax on embossing folders. I think that may become my new favourite as I just love the effect!
Enjoy your well-deserved time off, and have fun this weekend! 😀 Thanks for all you do!
Happy Birthday Sandi
( mine is on monday)
I love making interactive cards!
Happy Birthday Sandi! Hi from Canada too…… I love to use a blended distress oxide background, splattered with water, behind a dark outline diecut, such as a field of flowers, a nativity scene, or a landscape with trees; add a small stamped sentiment to the background, quick, easy, and stunning!
Happy birthday!! March babies are the coolest!! Enjoy your time off.
I can’t pick one true favorite – it depends on what I’m working on & there’s so many awesome techniques. Here’s a few, no particular order.
1) fun folds are always great
2) watercoloring with different mediums
3) ink blending
Thanks for the chance to win.
Happy Birthday, Sandi! I just saw you for the first time when your 3D embossing watercolor technique video played randomly on my youtube channel. The cards were stunning! My favorite technique is usually die cutting/paper piercing. But I definitely want to give your watercolor technique a try sometime soon.
