With Fall/Autumn:) as my UK friends say, heads into full swing, the calendar gets busy! SO I thought, some fast cards would be nice create! Sometimes, we just DON’T have as much time as we’d like to create cards. So, I’m doing a series on quick cards with hope that you’ll refer back to a few things… Go for some tried & true things like banners & utilize fun, double-sided paper to get to see that nice detail as you open the card. If possible, think of a color or activity the recipient enjoys and you can hit the ground running! Yes, this card was for a young male but I find it more difficult to make cards for the guys! So, to give to an adult, I’d simply change the card starter interior card, add a couple more stars or baker’s twine and you could also do positive/negative die cutting on the banners with the stars or “Happy Birthday” for a twist. More Quick Cards are coming, I promise! AFTER HALLOWEEN: CHRISTMAS card series begins! YES! 🙂

A few stand-alone products OR extra products to create Christmas or Hanukkah card creations – or refresh your stash for handmade cards made easy… Creative Escape Papercrafting.com DOES combine shipping, offers subscription benefits with three different price points.

Sending a card to let someone know you care could never be ordinary with this cute set by lawn fawn! Add in a fun Oktoberfest scene to brighten someone’s day even more with this handmade creation!

It’s time!!! A look at “Fall Frenzy” is coming to YouTube soon! A LOT of thought goes into satisfying potential Creative Escape customers: brainstorming, practicality, FUN & a thing called a budget are always being considered. “Doing more for Less” is the goal. Creative Escape believes you can absolutely enjoy creating on a budget & we love that at Platinumpeacock.blog! Paper crafting isn’t always the cheapest hobby! The Design Team is fantastic: Annie, Dawn, LeeAnn & Karen: THANK YOU! (You will see more from all of us in the near future on YouTube, and on: creativeescapepapercrafting.com under “creations”.

     Creative Escape Papercrafting is intentionally different than other companies because it’s not just about profit for them… Although, selling kits allows them to operate – each month they have a charity they donate a portion of their profits to! Fall is a time for being grateful, so a food pantry/shelter was chosen. If you add anything on, such as exclusive woodgrain papers, extra dies, etc., a portion of the profits goes to help those effected by natural disasters in the U.S. – you’re in our thoughts and prayers!
