Hi, I am Fiskateer #5563! Yes, it sounds like the opening of some meeting for those with addictions. It is, kinda! Fiskateers is an off-shoot of Fiskars, the makers of all those fun, mostly orange, scissors, trimmers, yard tools, etc., that encourage creativity. It is also a place to meet and learn and support other crafters, a warm, fun group of paper lovers., i.e, addicts. Being a fiskateer has not cured my addictions. It has made them worse! It has fed my addiction for punches, especially. A couple of weeks ago, I was feeling a little down. My collection of squeeze punches went from 4 to 11! But I felt so much better! If you are a scrapbooker, a cardmaker or a seamstress, try it. You'll like it! Just click
here to see what it's all about.
I have so much fun making these cards, but, unfortunately, I can't meet deadlines very well. This time I think I finished in time. Now if I don't mess up getting it posted! The idea here is to use JustRite sentiment stamps on both the outside and the inside of a card. Since I can't color in the lines very well, sentiments are my favorite stamps. I made my very first "flip flop" card. It wasn't easy getting all those little layers in position to flip instead of flop, but I think it turned out pretty well. I actually made two identical cards, because I thought it would be easier to photograph the inside and outside at the same time. Hope you can see what I've done okay.
