Hello ,

WOW...it's March 1st - the first day of National Craft Month! Great reason to do lots of crafting and a good time to tune into our hobby...

So, what do you call yourself or someone who makes crafts?

Someone who makes crafts is often referred to as a crafter or crafty person. This term covers a wide range of creative activities, from scrapbooking and card-making to painting and jewelry design. A crafter may work with multiple mediums or focus on a particular craft such as stamping, which involves creating decorative patterns or images on paper or fabric.

An artisan has a special skill and training to make things. Or a maker is a good title for someone who makes products that are trendy. This is a hip and fresh reference commonly used among the millennial crowd.

What do you call yourself:

A) Crafter

B) Crafty Person

C) Artisan

D) Maker

E) Stamper

F) Other

I think we all agree that paper crafting is a fun and creative activity that provides many hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Whether you are making cards, scrapbooking, or making decorative items for your home, paper crafting can be an incredibly rewarding activity. Not only does it allow you to express yourself creatively, but it also allows you to create something unique and personal that you can use or give away as gifts.

Paper crafting can be taken to the next level by incorporating stamping into your projects. Stamping is a great way to add unique and intricate designs, patterns, and textures to your paper creations. With stamping, you can customize cards, scrapbook pages, tags, journals, and more with beautiful images that are sure to impress.

Whether you are an experienced stamper or just getting started with paper crafting you are likely always looking for project ideas. Stampin' Up! provides all-inclusive project kits with everything you need to do a project from beginning to end. You can choose from our Kits Collection, available in my online store or Paper Pumpkin, the SU monthly subscription projects.
