CARD MAKING FOR BEGINNERS 

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today I wanted to take you back to the beginning. I have had alot of just starting out Crafting Friends asking, "what do I buy?" or" how do I start out?", so i figured this was a good time to help out with that.  I have been making cards and crafting all my life so i really had to take a step back and ponder this one for a moment, and put myself in a beginners shoes... 

If you're just getting started in card making, you may be confused by the vast options of card making supplies available. There are so many stamps, inks, papers, embellishments and tools.

Where do you even begin ?

I always suggest you start with a kit. A pre-selected collection of stamps, ink, paper, and embelishments that you need to make a few cards.

Once you've made the cards in the kit, you'll have a little more experience in card making and you'll have the stamps, ink & maybe a few leftovers to use with additional supplies that you purchase bit by bit. With my guidence of course ;) 

You can choose to shop all - inclusive kits ...

HELLO , HELLO & WELCOME !

Greetings My Crafty Friends! I wanted to give you a little background on me and welcome you to my New Blog :) 

My name is Shanna, I come to you from sunny & warm  Edmonton (LOL). I previously lived on Vancouver Island (the wet coast) , 3 years ago we moved out here and have been almost loving every moment of it, (I am not a cold fan. LOL) We call it home! My Significant other and I have two American Bulldog Fur babies, who are spoiled rotten and who will positivly make apperances on here from time to time. 

This is today, booooo!

   I have been an Independant Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 9 years (2005-2015), and joining again in 2018 ( best choice ever! ) I had a small hiatus in there for what I call "LIFE". I have an extreame love for all things crafty, an inherited gene from my mom.So in 2008 when I purchased the starter kit it was for the fabulous discount to add products to my then small collection(.not so much anymore :) we will tour my craft sudio another day ), and to continue on as a Happy Shopper. I continued to create, share & inspire my friends and family to channel their inner crafting goddess and make beautiful things with classes, workshops & clubs. The" Year 2020" brought on some reflection and I have decided to do more of what makes me happy, I decided to take the leap to making my hobby into a part time buisness gig for now as I haven't won the lottery to quit my day/night jobs yet. LOL

Whether in person or online, my favorite part of my "job" is all my stamping friends (who become like extended family:) I enjoy making connections with new people as a Creative Coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement. For me, helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling ever. (warm & fuzzies)After all creating projects is about more than just stamps & ink - it's about sharing a part of yourself with people you love. 

This will be my Creative Outlet for all of the things I love to create & share with all of you...Please grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile and learn along side me.

Contact me anytime carrottopscreativeco@gmail.com, I would love to hear from you ! or follow me on my Socials.Comment often for Happy Mail from me & Share with those you think might like what I have to inspire you with, that is the most sincere compliment you can give me to help me grow my buisness & I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
