Betsy Robles: April 2024

Hi my crafty friends,

Have I told you how much I love to participate in card swap? Well, I LOVE IT!!

I wanted to share this card I made back in March for an event my Upline’s hosted.

Onstage was in Houston this year and I was asked to be a display stamper. I made 10 cards using the Rockstar Bundle. So make sure to stop by and check out the cards I made.

It was so much to meet people who have the same passion as me. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

I used A Little Latte Suite to create this card.

This is the 3^rd time I change the way I made it, so let me know which one is your favorite.

If you have any questions please reach out to me.

You can contact me by clicking on “CONTACT ME” and I will respond as soon as I can.

I DO NOT provide PDF’s, for any of my FB Live videos.

However, I will give you the measurements but not instructions. If you would like to know how I achieved a certain technique I suggest you watch the video.

Hi my crafty friends,

Thank you for stopping by.

If you joined me for my Facebook Live thank you!!

It literally took a whole week for Facebook to let me go live. I apologize if you were expecting for a live.

I hope it does not happen again and you can join me live every Wednesday at 1pm.

I decided to use to items from the last chance list.

You can do so much with this paper. That’s the awesome part of a double-sided DSP, if you don’t like one side you can use the other.

I remember stating when the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog came out, that this DSP pair perfectly with a coffee stamp set.

So I has to use it with the Latte Love bundle.

A lot of the color combinations came from the Color Coach. You can find them here and print them out.

Let me know what you think and which one is your favorite.

If time permits, I tend to stamp the inside of the card while I am live, if not I usually include a picture.

I am making it a habit to stamp the inside of every card I create because it makes it so much easier to mail off. All I have to do is write my message and send it.

Hi my crafty friends,

I hope all of you are doing amazing.

I cannot believe April is coming to an end and with it both 2023-2024 Annual and January-April 2024 catalog is too.

Make sure you get the bundles you like and whatever will be retiring.

I made a video of all the products that will retire.

Alrighty, wanted to share with you a card I made for another card swap I sign up.

I love participating in different card swaps, I love all the different cards I get back.

As a demonstrator I (personally) cannot buy everything.

But as a card swap participant I get to see others crafting style and they "may" change my mind on a certain bundle or stamp set. It has happened.

I made a card using a layout from Crafty AL. She releases a PDF the first of every month called Sheet Load of cards. I love this design and have used for other cards and wanted to share this with you.

She has helped me create so many cards and most importantly putting my DSP to good use.

If you have any questions please reach out to me.

You can contact me by clicking on “CONTACT ME” and I will respond as soon as I can.

I DO NOT provide PDF’s.

However, I will give you the measurements but not instructions. If you would like to know how I achieved a certain technique I suggest you watch the video.

Hi my crafty friends,

Wanted to show you how I made my “LOVER ERA” card.

YES, I AM A SWIFTY.

I was highly inspired by the “Eras Tour” and my favorite era is “Fearless.” (I made a card for it, no video nor measurements.)

Like seriously, everytime I watch the concert on Disney + or Amazon, I re-live it.

I made a video so you can watch the process.

This blog includes measurements and products I used to make it.

ITS NOT A PDF.

I have a separate blog and video where you can find the other cards, I have made with the Rock Star bundle.

I have made 17 cards. I took off my least favorite cards (yes you are allowed to have those.)

I hope you find some inspiration using this bundle because it will RETIRE come April 30^th. Grab it ASAP.

If you have any questions please reach out to me.

Hi my crafty friends,

Thank you so much for stopping by, even if it’s just for measurements.

I was asked to be a display stamper for an event both of my Uplines hosted, before the Onstage event at Houston, TX.

I met 80 plus more demos and it was so much fun.

We got to choose which bundle we wanted to display samples of, and the Rockstar caught my eye.

SO far I have made 17 cards, but in this blog I took off my least favorite cards (yes you are allowed to have those.)

I ONLY provide the measurements for the cards I demonstrated for my FB Live.

They are all A2 cards meaning 8 ½”x 5 ½” scored at 4 ¼” .

I hope you find some inspiration using this bundle, because it will RETIRE come April 30^th. Grab it ASAP.

If you have any questions please reach out to me.
