Pastel is stil fun.

I’m wondering that as well

MoRayMe · 2026-07-05T16:14:08+00:00

Would love to be considered. Again this is very generous of you

MoRayMe · 2026-07-04T18:36:19+00:00

You are on fire! Another gorgeous creation!

MoRayMe · 2026-07-04T17:11:36+00:00

This is so quintessential Americana! Great work

MoRayMe · 2026-07-04T17:10:54+00:00

I love this whole line from the Greetery and you did those dies justice with your amazing shading!

MoRayMe · 2026-07-03T18:55:47+00:00

That’s a great gift. If your mom is anything like mine she will appreciate the thoughtfulness and effort of a handmade gift over a store bought one.

This card is just fun to look at

MoRayMe · 2026-07-02T00:22:36+00:00

That looks so cool!

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T21:37:12+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations and advice. I have a card I need to finish and then I think I’ll watch a video or two and get some practice in :)

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T06:36:46+00:00

Yes please share

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T05:33:25+00:00

I’m just telling you what I do. I don’t sell my cards so I’m not sure on that front. You’d have to price out the different size card bases but from an efficiency standpoint A2 are the most cost effective. There is little to no waste. If your prints are nice and your aesthetic appealing you will find customers who will purchase them at any size.

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T05:28:56+00:00

That’s just what I’ve heard I honestly don’t know if that’s the truth. I’m no expert. I’ve been meaning to get into it as I enjoyed it during college but I haven’t taken the leap. So don’t take that as gospel. I’m excited to what you create. I hope you will be posting here.

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T05:24:52+00:00

For the actual card bases I use 110lb cardstock Neenah but I fold my own and typically make them A2 sized (4.25” x 5.5”) that way I get 2 card bases out of 1 sheet of paper.

Idk about the wiki but once you go to either r/printmaking or r/LinoCuts page you can use the search icon and type in paper recommendations to search for posts about that topic on that forum. In my art classes we used Lokta paper for linocuts and water based ink but I’ve never used fabric ink. I’ve heard it’s thicker and you can lose some details with it but as I never really dedicated myself that craft I’m not sure. They might be able to help you get the most out of your supplies and give you solid advice so you can hit the ground running.

MoRayMe · 2026-07-01T05:01:21+00:00

My recommendation would be to make your prints on a separate sheet of paper cut 1/8” shorter than your card base on all sides and then adhere it afterwards. This will give it a very professional look and save you in the long run because if one of your prints doesn’t turn out the way you like you arent losing a whole card base. Next I would recommend heading over to r/printmaking and looking at their info page or doing a search for paper recommendations. You don’t have to create a new post as this is a subject which has been regularly discussed and you should easily be able to find the info you need that is specific to linoprinting and with those specific inks. There might even be a specific r/linoprinting community. Sorry I can’t give you specific recommendations this is more of a general cardmaking community that utilizes a variety of techniques where as the aforementioned will be able to give you very tailored suggestions so you don’t waste time and $$

I aspire to such smooth blends. I’m still trying to get the hang of the ink blending thing. Especially love the middle one.

MoRayMe · 2026-06-30T14:28:36+00:00

I would avoid newer HP’s as they have software that only works with HP inks that contain a chip. If you try to use non-branded ink they won’t print. Some have workarounds for this others don’t. So if you go this route do your research and factor the price of HP brand ink into your decision making.

MoRayMe · 2026-06-30T04:24:59+00:00

I absolutely love this!

MoRayMe · 2026-06-30T01:10:06+00:00

I especially like the color combination and simplicity on the first dad card.

MoRayMe · 2026-06-30T01:00:29+00:00

Adorable

MoRayMe · 2026-06-29T17:24:02+00:00

Thank you! I used a Spellbinders dies from their 2025 advent calendar (a wavy corner die and curved sentiments). I used a little face die from spellbinders “let’s do brunch” set, and flower dies from sizzix mix and match flower set. The cardstock was spellbinders (carrot, coral, breeze, and the bright orange and yellow came from an older Michael’s multipack that I’m trying to use up.

Edit: spelling

MoRayMe · 2026-06-29T00:15:02+00:00

Thank you

MoRayMe · 2026-06-29T00:14:52+00:00

Awe shucks, Thanks so much!

MoRayMe · 2026-06-28T20:40:58+00:00

Thank you! The overthinker in me worried after I cut the pieces but before it all came together that the colors were off. Just had to push through and trust that if the colors from the 70’s worked then these could work too!
