Magnetic sheets: great for sticking thin metal dies to for storage.

Magnetic photo paper: terrible for sticking thin metal dies to for storage. They just aren't magnetic enough. They are barely magnetic enough to stick to the refridgerator.

However, I think they will do excellently for #FluidArt, whether that be #AcrylicPouring or #AlcoholInk, because they are basically plastic paper. So that's something new for me to try.

#3GoodThings @3goodthings
Three good things this Friday evening.

1. Making pretty cardboard out of (cereal and other food) boxes, with the intent of turning it into matchboxes (to store small things in). Permanent pen + metallic #AlcoholInk. Seriously, so pleased with the results; so pretty.
2. Related to this, very much enjoying that my #DieCutting machine has its own place now, where I can use it at a moment's notice, no need to take it out or clear a space for it. (Related to that, I may have purchased some dies...)
3. I'm still enjoying the #Murderbot series; I'm on the last book. Well, I hope the author will write more, of course!

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things." - Philippians 4:8

Accomplishment unlocked: space cleared(*), shelves assembled, Sizzix moved to its new place. It now lives in solitary splendour on the middle shelf of the new set of shelves, which are sturdy and broad enough to act as a bench. So now there will be more die-cutting and embossing in my future, since I no longer need to clear space in order to use it, I can just use it. Yay!

(*) By "cleared", of course, I mean "shoved into the spare room to be dealt with later".

I'm still working my way through the @katscrappiness Cowboy Quokka Ephemera Pack I bought in December. This time I created a Father's Day Card.

I'm continuing to adapt @katscrappiness' Fall Wreath Die Set to different seasons. This is my strawberry lemonade summer take. It's a shaker card, because I wanted to use the A2 Reverse Scallop Die Set.

I tried to follow a sticker-cutting hack I found on YouTube using a custom-cut jig and printed registration marks and… it didn’t work. Not really. Cricut just doesn’t cut accurately without their own “Print Then Cut” registration marks. I noticed the further from the 0,0 axis the blade was, the more offset the cuts became. Most of the time. It was kinda weird. Oh well. Was hoping to waste less sticker paper but looks like it’s the only way I’m going to be able to go. I can… save the scraps for something maybe? Small silhouette-style vinyl decals maybe?

These custom notebooks are “bound” to be a hit with the executives, business owners, and entrepreneurs attending Business Booster events.

The covers are printed in white ink on Epic Black cover stock, silk laminated, and have a die-cut window revealing the logo beneath. They are bound in silver wire, allowing them to lay flat when open, easily turn pages, and flip 360º for a compact form factor.
