Soccer cards…and the glitch may be fixed....update!!

What the heck?  I am on my computer and NOW I can load photos! 


Loving everything about this Match Day stamps, dies and paper!  I posted earlier on Facebook and finally seem to have access to photos again on my laptop!


With the World Cup in the KC area these next few weeks and 2 Soccer stadiums in KC there has to be some local folks that will appreciate a Soccer card!


Soccer Jerseys come is many color options.  I googled and was amazed at the different shirts and not a "set" uniform like other sports. So here I did a KC Current like shirt and WHO wears the Orange?  The Netherlands! 


Let’s try an experiment….i posted on Facebook and copied the link to Blogger?  Does the link work?  I know it’s not pretty but ……let me know.

These cards will be on the rack Saturday 8-1pm at Independence Uptown Market.

Technical Difficulties!

 I have updated my IPhone and suddenly things seem HARD!  Blogger is not cooperating with loading pictures!  My Square App is stuck and I’m sure something else is lurking behind the scenes!  The done button is now a check mark???

I will NOT be at the Market Saturday May 9th.  I’ll be celebrating a Graduation and later next week a Birthday!  (Insert cute photo here) haha!  Only if I could!  

I’ll be back at the Market May 16th.  Come shop local 8am-1pm.  

And you can shop my Website 24/7:  At least this still works!

Hydrangea Hue

 My pre-order arrived and this IN Color is my favorite!  And the new style of Magnetic ink pads will be introduced with the 5 IN Colors!  If you order ink pads always order a matching re-inker!  My first card is a Thank You card for customers.


Hydrangea Hue card stock and ink.  Sunset Coast bundle paired with Scenic Coast 6X6 Specialty Designer paper.  This paper is amazing!!  I used the ink pad to ink the edges and then popped up this panel on the card base.


The Lighthouse or Sail Boat Die Cut allow this paper to shine through.  Hydrangea Hue is not in this paper but it blends perfectly with some of the patterns!

I can’t wait to create more cards with this beautiful paper.  And the Magnetic ink pads close just by setting the lid on top!  All these products will be available May 5th when the catalog launches.  New Online Exclusives will also launch May 5th.

Next Market is May 2nd.  Pick up the new catalog!  8-1pm.
