Finally - an excuse to use some of my pretty paper 😅
|
Morning! If you are a paper crafter, then you are probably in the same or similar boat to me - I have a LOT of cardstock. Plain, printed, textured, and scrap... I don't discriminate haha. But most of it is unused and in full sheets. Some of it I bought for a specific project, some because I loved the colour, and some apparently because I thought it deserved a safe, peaceful life on a shelf where no blade would ever touch it 😅 Please tell me I’m not the only one who has paper that I always think is somehow too pretty to actually use?! Which is one of the reasons I got so excited when I saw what’s planned for the Paper Crafting Retreat 2026, happening September 23–25. It’s a completely FREE 3-day online event for those of us who love our Cricuts, cutting machines, SVGs, and, of course, PAPER 🤩 And these aren’t just projects to sit and watch someone else make, there are so many different things you can actually try, through an amazing project! You can look forward to layered and pop-up cards, dimensional paper flowers, gift card holders, a sunflower wreath, photo centrepieces, a cupcake bouquet lantern, Christmas countdown clocks… …and I’ll be showing you how to make a luxury cardstock handbag with a bow 😍 I’m REALLY excited about this one - it is just too cute!! And this event is really great because while having a finished project at the end is obviously fun, you’ll also be learning techniques you can use again in completely different crafts. Things like scoring, getting intricate cuts from cardstock, adding dimension and texture, Print Then Cut, Cricut pens, custom cut settings, shaker techniques, Design Space tips, and so much more. And you can join the whole thing for free! ✨ September 23–25, 2026 There’s also a VIP Replay Ticket if you know you won’t be able to fit everything into the free viewing windows, but you absolutely do not need VIP to enjoy this event. Start with your free ticket, have a look through everything, and decide what you actually want to make 🥰
I already have several projects mentally added to my craft list, which is definitely what that list needed… more projects 🤣 But I’m hoping this is also the motivation I need to actually cut into some of that cardstock I’ve been saving - are you with me?! Can’t wait to see what you decide to make - please share some pictures in the Facebook group when you make them - I LOVE seeing them! And remember - be kind to someone today! See you soon! Kelly P.S. I will be livestreaming tonight on YouTube (and Facebook, and Twitch), and we will be crafting some fun stuff with cardstock, adding some fun elements to a mixed media project. So make sure you join me, ask questions about cardstock crafting, learn some fun new techniques, and maybe I can even show you my gorgeous little handbags that you can make at this retreat!
