I agree that it's easier to die cut and then stencil! And using my sticky mat helps so much with the stenciling! Having ready-made sentiments on hand is such a great tip! Your mixed media background looks awesome behind those more traditional BAG flowers! Such a gorgeous card!
I love your card stock organization method, Mindy. I think I like organizing as much as I like making cards. That card is beautiful. I love the mixed media feel.
Beautiful designs to choose from in this release! Love the card you created for the video! The floral design is gorgeous and the stenciled background looks awesome!
Very nice way to come out of a slump, Erin! BEAUTIFUL ideas and you brought up some things I'd forgotten, so vey helpful for my current loss of mojo! Thanks for the inspiration! 💕👍
Mindy, this was such a nice video, your cards are gorgeous! Thank you for giving us your tips and for inspiring us and sharing your talents to help us get out of that Mojo Rut!😁
Awesome to see your video Mindy ❤❤ I really love your product introduction videos! 😊😊 I love seeing how you put together the card! The Nature Splash stencil art background is gorgeous! 🩷🩷
Your card turned out fantastic! It’s such a wonderful release, I think I would be overwhelmed in where to start. Hoping to add several items to my crafty stash soon, especially the stencil set that gives a mixed media look. I think it would be great for masculine cards too.
Beautiful card! And thank you for sharing how you work through crafting inspiration cramps 😂. I have them often, so I just die cut sentiments and foil backgrounds. Helps me feel crafty again
Hi Mindy, im always loosing my mojo, but you have inspired me as have soo many others... the emboss folder is gorgeous! Love the flowers. When im stuck i also just die cuts things and put them together, stamp & color, etc just getting things ready for scrapbooking... or other things. really pretty card. I love this hop! Thank you... hugs
Hi Mindy. For not having a crafting Mojo today, your card looks amazing to me. I feel better knowing that I am not the only person who just loses my craftiness some days. I like your idea of just laying some things out to play with to see what we may want to create. I really liked the no line stenciling flowers you made. I also enjoyed you walking through all the new products. The new cardstock is so pretty. I am going to put the butterflies in my Wish List now.❤
Thank you so much for this video. Too many options gets me every time so I end up feeling overwhelmed and doing nothing. That’s my ADHD kicking in 🤦🏼♀️
Love your card! Love the way you arranged it so those splatters show! Funny story...I clicked on your video not bothering to see what you titled it, and when you started talking about lost your crafty mojo...I said to myself "lost your mind" lol! I do love everything in this release. I've never done it before, but one of these days I'm just going to buy the entire release! This would be a good one!
Thank you for the tips, Mindy, & I love the card you created! While I do get stuck with options overwhelm (or even paralysis by analysis sometimes), I consider my mojo to be gone (aka "nojo") when I think I should want to craft & I just can't stand even the thought of doing anything creative. My philosophy in life is trying to do at least one productive thing, which just happens to be usually crafty in nature, every day. I live with schizophrenia & major depression, though, & there are days - due to mental illness itself and/or outside forces having a negative impact on my mental health - when doing something productive is next to impossible. Either the depression makes me too down to create something, or the schizophrenia can make it too noisy in my mind so it is hard to think & process things. Those times, I can open the craft room door, feel overwhelmed immediately, & just close the door & walk away. Which feels awful! Thankfully, I don't have a job creating art on deadlines & such, so those days don't have a negative impact in that way. There is still a feeling of failure, though, however unreasonable that may be. But another option/solution, besides playing with supplies (which rarely helps me, as I'm just more project-oriented), is just to do something mindless but still productive. I will sometimes go through old junk mail & sort everything into recycle, shred, & trash. Or shred those papers. It keeps my hands busy, but requires virtually no thought. My former counselor calls it "pulling weeds." Like I said, I'm lucky enough to be able to take time to do those sorts of things, without it interfering in money-earning labor. But I guess I'm just putting it out there as another option. Also, sometimes, if there's a particular product I want to use & can't come up with any ideas, I will google that product & look at pictures of others' examples. Just to get creative juices flowing, which it can. Anyway, I guess I've rambled enough. Hopefully this can help someone else who may read this comment. Thank you again for sharing, Mindy. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)
I like that phrase "nojo" lol ... I completely agree with the other tasks. I will walk away sometimes and clean or pop on a show for a little bit to take my mind off of things and then I feel a little refreshed. Thank you for sharing your experience with me ❤️
