New in my Shop!

Good Monday Morning All!

I’ve been busily working on finishing some projects over the weekend, and although they sadly don’t include use of the masking technique I was talking about on Friday, they were projects already in the works and still turned out pretty stinkin’ cute, I think. ;)

I finished my “sorry so grumpy” card - you can hang it on a peg or nail! I used Kraftin’ Kimmie stamps and fun die cuts for this card, as well as a mix of distressed and punched papers to give it a fun layered effect. The bow on the button is tied from rafia and the hanging cord is hemp.
I’ve also finish up some cute little owl tags! I paired brown with blue for these adorable textured hooties and finished them off with a silky deep blue ribbon. Perfect for scrapbooking, gifts or bookmarks.




I’ve also started on a card for the dudes - a cute little fishing card! The die cuts are a little smaller than I’m used to using for this project, but they fit the stamp that I wanted to use, so I decided to jazz it up a bit and make an easel card to make up for the small size. I custom-fit the base of the easel card to the die cuts and measured out the score lines to 1.5; 3; and 7. The 7 inches at the base of the card should allow for a proper amount of space to create a “stopper” for the easel part of the card to be propped up with as well as providing the space for a cute little sentiment. I’m looking forward to seeing how this card will turn out!


 
My Whale of a Guy square card and Sorry So Crabby square cards are almost finished as well! I’ve distressed them and now all that remains are the sentiments and more decor on the outside.



I’ve put together a pack of cards for one low price as well. I don’t have a listing or photo set up for this yet, but soon you’ll be able to see it!


I’ve also got some pendants available for purchase in my store.

How To Effectively Sell: Part III - FABG!

Hello All, Let me preface this post by saying that the FABG selling technique is not my original idea. When I was in commission sales I read a selling book that saved my life (and my paycheck) by Harry J. Friedman called "No Thanks, I'm Just Looking". While not the most well written book, Friedman does a great job of explaining how his years in the industry have helped him to form his professional retail sales techniques and turn shoppers into buyers. I recommend you pick this book up! It has saved my bacon many many times!! So, What *is* FABG? FABG stands for Feature, Advantage, Benefit, Grabber. Any item can be FABG'ed. Features - features are parts of the piece. Either a part of the piece or a characteristic of the piece. Often times this is the size, color, texture, materials used, etc. Advantages - this is tied directly to the features of the item. An advantage is what the customer will gain from the feature. Friedman uses the phrase "which means&q

The Making of The Babadook Pop Up Book HD

Image
My boyfriend has an affinity for horror films so when he recently showed me the movie The Babadook, I was interested because I too like a good scary story. I was happily surprised when the story focused on a mother and child and a bedtime story that is definitely NOT for children. The Babadook is a 2014 Australian-Canadian film in which a woman and her child are tormented by an evil entity. I recommend seeing this movie (even if you are not a fan of horror) for two reasons: the story, although portrayed as a horror film, is really a story of grief and how one copes and changes as a result of being touched by the death of a loved one.  Also, this film has some great papercraft and paper engineering, as you can see from the above video. I hope you enjoyed this post because this is easily one of my favorite movies now. I hope you get to see this film! Cheers!

Artists Collective: #4 - Robert Norman Ross

Image
One of my earliest memories during my childhood was watching Bob Ross as a family with my parents and brother in the evenings on PBS. Bob's calm voice seemed to put me into a trance and with just a few simple strokes, Bob had created a beautiful pieces of work that now are highly valued and sought after by collectors around the world. Bob Ross is probably one of the most influential creators in my artists collective and I still find myself just as entranced and captivated by Bob's creations on the canvas today as I was when I was growing up. Its not hard to see why The Joy of Painting has had such an enduring impact on society. (It still plays on PBS and there are millions of videos on youtube!) Bob Ross is even widely considered the grandfather of ASMR ! (Do you get the tingles? Find my favorite ASMR youtubers HERE and HERE .) One thing I found out while writing this article was that Bob Ross was once compared to Fred Rogers, which in and of itself should be considered a
