stampingonthebackporch ·

2021/02/23

Many of us think of giving something up for Lent. How about using Lent also as a time to focus on giving? Lets get creative in who we sent cards to this month. I like the idea of making a list of 40 people during the 40 days of Lent because it will take us beyond the obvious. In this episode we talk about different ideas for making those 40 cards meaningful.

Project Pocket Quilt Cards!

stampingonthebackporch ·

2021/02/15

On a Facebook live I made eight quick and easy pocket cards and challenged my viewers to make and post one over in my Facebook group - the Back Porch Stampers. Over 200 pocket cards. Have been posted - how amazing is that!!! Then Jjlie Heitz, a team member and friend, called with an idea. "The moment I stamped “sending healing hugs” my heart felt something. A quilt, a hug and I thought “this quilt could be the hug someone needs during these Times”. Then my mind started racing and I had to contact

Celebrating Galentine's Day!

2021/02/02

We had no idea what Galentine's Day was when we received a Galentine's Day card. I actually thought it was a misspelling - and Tim won this argument. There is a funny story about how this became a holiday - dating back to 2010 and an episode of Parks & Recreation - but what a great reminder to celebrate those platonic friendships! Those friendships we can count on though all of life's ups and downs - we are so grateful to have those. This is a reminder to thank those special people in our lives -

When a Card Tells the Story!

2021/01/19

Life is full of stories and we celebrate that today with some great stories about cardmaking. Whether our stories are funny and bring a smile to the receiver - or whether they are thoughtful stories about experiences we have shared -- making a card just for that particular person about that particular event - makes a impact on our own lives as well as others.

Why Join Karen & Tim in Papercrafting?

stampingonthebackporch ·

2021/01/11

25 years ago this month I started my papercrafting business. So much has changed in our lives since then! Tim's job had just ended, I was homeschooling our kids and I wanted to find something to bring in some money at least temporarily in the evenings until you found another job. I had never considered direct sales - never thought I could sell a thing - but I thought I could show how to make cards. I mean, after all, people wouldn’t even be looking at me - they would be watching my hands and what I

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT I heard someone say …. Do you think Mick Jagger was singing about toilet paper? What have we always taken for granted?

We made it to Christmas week —- Christmas 2020 will certainly be one to remember and many of us will have have new story to tell about this year.

Crafting Through the Seasons

2020/12/14

We are now in advent - a time of waiting, a time of reflection. It got me thinking about all of the seasons -and celebrations - throughout the year and how even my crafting reflects that - and I’m sure it does for others as well. This is a time for a new catalog with SU! The autumn/holiday one is ending this month. As I was looking through it for a last time, I was already nostalgic about autumn ending ….truly, for me, I love fall most of all!!! Its my favorite time to be outside - with the vibrant

Re-Thinking Christmas Traditions

stampingonthebackporch ·

2020/12/07

Think about your happiest holiday memories. Most probably revolve around traditions. This is a year to reinvent some of those traditions-or maybe even start new ones. Let’s call this traditions with a twist. We all know the most precious gifts aren’t the ones under the tree in the pretty papers. What traditions have you normally done together? Maybe you have always gotten together and made cookies with the grandkids - and this year you can’t. How about sending a package to them with the

Making Gifts for Christmas

2020/12/01

For many of us crafters —- making gifts for Christmas is a big part of what its all about and this year that just might be more important than ever. I think its all about the small gifts - those little things that say “I’m thankful for you - you matter to me”. While you are creating - you are thinking about the person you are making the gift for —- what a wonderful sense of gratitude comes with that. I think its all about the small gifts - those little things that say “I’m thankful for you - you

What Do We Do About Winter?

2020/11/16

Most of us find winter to be too long, too cold and too dark! But when our Norwegian cousins came to visit, we learned some interesting things about they experience winter. Today we dive into to the concept of friluftsliv - meaning "free-air life" and we talk about different ideas of how we can incorporate this concept into our lives. Let's enjoy rather than endure winter this year. Give winter a try!

Card Sales are Booming & We Create Our Own!

stampingonthebackporch ·

2020/11/09

More people are buying and sending cards this year than before! Birthday cards have always been the top seller - but now sympathy cards are big sellers too. We can’t attend funerals like we used to and we can't give hugs - so mailing a card seems more important and necessary than ever. We want to send a heartfelt message - more than just a text or a facebook message - something tangible that can be held and read over and over again. Encouragement and thinking of you cards are increasing in sales
