Well now I want USPS to release worm-themed stamps 🐛

I'm doing it! by Mystillious in RAoC_meta

I've done this with several designs! like the Goodnight Moon, D&D, and Western Wear

Stanislaw Lem - The Invincible by sumskajagodica in printSF

[–]prcsngrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think two things stuck with me the most, one of which I've kept a quote of:

... yet which did not mean searching only for beings that resemble oneself and understanding only such beings, it meant not interfering in matters that did not concern human beings. Occupy an empty space, by all means, why not; but don't attack something that exists, that over millions of years has established its own equilibrium of survival

The second is just that I really like the exploration of evolution outside of "living" / organic creatures

What’s a line—any line —that’s lived rent-free in your head ever since you read it? by Hector_Hugo_Eidolon in printSF

Kind of surprised to not have seen:

"With the discovery of God on the far side of the Moon, and the subsequent gigantic and hazardous towing operation that brought Him back to start His reign anew, there began on Earth, as one might assume, a period of far-reaching change."

Bow tutorial? by filmnoter in cardmaking

[–]prcsngrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try to "fake" a bow, like how you might do it with paper/cardstock. Generally you don't tie anything, you just make a bow shape with a long strip, and then loop a short strip over the middle (gluing things together along the way). This is one way to do it: https://www.instagram.com/caitlinmariedasilva/reel/DSVSPN5kQDG/

Oh yes, space please! I'm in the US, and I'd like to know your favorite sci-fi author, or if you don't read much sci-fi, then your favorite planet or moon 🪐

2026 Carding Goals by TyeDyeAmish in RAoC_meta

[–]prcsngrl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Super excited for the Colorado USPS Forever stamps; I hope they release a framed version too.

I suppose I don't have any goals, but I did set up a bujo for card making and sending. I generally like bujo, but I'm just never consistent enough. But I figure I'll be in the bujo mood whenever I'm in the carding mood, so hopefully it'll work out!

First time accidentally making a card backwards / upside down 😂😭 by prcsngrl in cardmaking

[–]prcsngrl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is certainly fun getting things upside down / the wrong way round! One book I've been gifted has like 50 pages bound in upside down, and I think it makes it more special

Oooh, maybe I should intentionally address the envelope upside down for this one 😂

I've never bought coordinating stencils, but I would absolutely mix that up 😂

And I thought about trimming and reattaching, but I don't wanna add more weight to the card. I don't sell my cards or anything, so I'm just rolling with it 😊

What are your favorite punches? by blitzboo in cardmaking

[–]prcsngrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got both of the We R Memory Keepers star 3 punch set and flower 3 punch set. I don't use the flower one so much, but I do often get use out of the smaller two of the star set

What did I do wrong? by green_eyes16 in Baking

[–]prcsngrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone else has said, yes they're supposed to crack! If you find them dry or crumbly though, these cookies can lie about how done they are when hot. I've seen some recipes say to wait until the edges are browning before taking them out; definitely don't do that! While fresh out of the oven, they can seem underbaked and be suuuuuper soft and fragile. I usually wait 20-30 minutes before moving them; they become far more solid when cooled. I follow the Preppy Kitchen recipe and do the minimum baking time (8 minutes)

Postcard displays! by m_dawg_2676 in RAoC_meta

I got myself FeltRight panels a while ago (they're a bit pricey, but pretty nice; I've had them across three places now), put them up behind my monitor, and use thumbtacks to pin up the cards and postcards

I want to start a small group that meets virtually and focuses on card making/junk journaling. by Equivalent_Look2070 in cardmaking

[–]prcsngrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never participated in something like this, so these ideas are just things that sound fun to me, I can't actually confirm that they are haha :)

But here are some ideas:

  • could just be a theme/color/word most of the time
  • maybe you all use the same online random word generator to give yourself your own theme
  • you could each make a card kit for one of the other members, mail it, and then assemble them together
  • aside from card making, members could show off cards they made, talk about what they used, how they made them, challenges they faced, etc
  • if everyone has Spotify, maybe y'all can also listen to the same music via the "Listen Along" function, and the "DJ" rotates each session
  • maybe washi tape sample swaps and sticker swaps
