I Heart Getting Crafty

I Heart Getting Crafty

January 4th, 2008 @ 11:04 am by Mrs. Peacock

Santa brought me a tool kit for some of my little craft supplies. Santa noticed that I kept losing my xacto knife while making Christmas cards and got a little worried about me. I couldn’t fit everything in there, but I was able to pack away all the little embossing powders, stamps and pens that I ALWAYS lose.

The rest is divided up between this storage container and those shopping bags. Craft supplies + trying to sell your condo= desperate need for organization. I’m still working on it.

Santa also worked hard to find a Gocco (PG-11). It has been sitting on our family room floor scaring me for a few days, but I finally busted it open this morning and I have started thinking about my save the dates. I can’t wait to play with it! Who else has a PG-11 and wants to teach me how to use it?

Mr. Radish got me a PG-11 for Christmas too. How ’bout that?

But I still don’t know how to use it either, so I can’t help you there. Let me know when you figure it out.

I have a PG-11 (though I had to buy it myself and my fiance groaned that it was a waste of money, ha). I used it to make my Chrismukkah cards and they came out GREAT, and I’m going to start working on our invites in the next few weeks, so seriously if you have any questions at all feel free to ask - I’m more than willing to help out.

I have a PG-11, too! I’m also going to start working on my invites soon, and hope to get them cranked out and out of my way.

My three biggest recommendations are:
1) watch the instructional video and read the book afterwards (the book seems to have a few gaps in translation…)
2) you don’t have to clean the screens that you ink afterwards unless you later intend to ink the same screen with another color and don’t want them mixed. I didn’t realize this at first and it was a LOT of trouble to clean them. Seriously, I will never EVER do it again.
3) make sure you have a lot of space to dry the things you print because it goes faster than you realize! It’s really easy to accidently get the ink from the front of one to the back of another.

Good luck and have lots of fun!

Great tips, bethgraced, thank you! Mr. Peacock ruined my blue filter on our first try! I think I will write another post after round two and I am sure I will be looking for help if it doesn’t go well!
