Summary of Creative Style:
For my projects, I tend to use vibrant colors to make attention grabbing cards. My style lends itself more towards a clean and simple creation rather than an ornate and very detailed end result. I gravitate towards cartoon-styled animals and humans in my projects, or will sometimes create a background and feature a single sentiment.
I believe that, when making cards, an envelope is an extension of the card, and can allow the recipient to get a full experience when receiving a creation. I like to use stamps to subtly decorate the exterior of an envelope, so the receiver has a hint of what’s to come. Almost every envelope I use is lined with coordinating paper, whether it be solid or purchased patterned paper, or a hand-stamped/hand-ink-blended custom liner.
Areas of Confidence:
- Comfortably Plan and Facilitate a Facebook Live Craft Demonstration
- Record & Edit Craft Demonstration Videos
- Intermediate Use of Copic Markers
- Seamless Ink Blending to Create Background and/or Add Depth
- Use of Stencils for textures and patterns
- Heat Embossing Images and Sentiments
- Use of both Clear & Rubber Stamps
- Advanced Cricut Knowledge
- Intermediate Knowledge and Use of Interactive Card Devices (Shaker, Pull-Tab, Reveal Wheel)
- Photography of Projects- Intermediate DSLR, Photoshop (Never to alter a final image) & Lightroom Knowledge
- Well-Written & Grammatically Correct Content (Blogs, Social Media, Etc.)
- Understanding and Active Presence on Social Media & Use of Hashtags
- Familiarity with Crafting Kits & Boxes to create samples using almost solely kit contents
