What do you do with all the cards you make?

[starofmay]

Give them away or sell them in my Etsy shop. :)

Where did you get your earrings? They are so cute!

[starofmay]

I think I got them at Lane Bryant. :)

Any tips for using dye ink pads? I bought a heap of the Adirondack dye ink pads, but can't get a non-splotchy impression using my clear stamps. I've taken to my stamps with an eraser, but is there any advice you can offer?

[starofmay]

Try priming it with VersaMark and then going straight into the ink. That's the only thing I can think of that might work. Good luck!

How old are you when you started doing cards? And where it's happen?

I love this Q&A and felt soooo identified with that...well.... I just had to subs to your channel....I am also a Graphic Designer and love to play with all the scrapping/crafting goodies in different ways. Watched a couple of your videos and really like your style. Thank you for sharing....Evy

what was the last font that you mentioned?

I love when you said you obsess on something then you move on later and obsess on something else for a while. I have the same habit....(nice to know I'm not the only one that does that). But I usually loop back one day when I'm having a hard time making a card....I return to something I've obsessed on in the past.

Your earrings are so nice. You look really pretty.
