Another interesting combination of parameters for our Craft Bowl Guest Crafters!
Every week there is a “curve ball” that stretches us just a little and we end up with cute cards that would never have been made otherwise. The wheel is a creativity block buster!

Guest Bio

I started cardmaking in 2006, at a Stampin’ Up! Party and have never looked back. Before that, I would not have claimed to be crafty or creative at all – I’m an accountant (a profession where creativity is frowned upon)!

I live in Toronto, Canada, I have two ‘children’ – one in University and one in her last year of high school

I started my YouTube channel in 2017, and I love to make videos showing how you can get more from craft supplies by using them in unexpected ways!

Guest Bio

My name is Alicia, although online I am known as “Crafty Al”. I grew up in Iowa (Go, Hawkeyes!), lived in Kansas for about 19 years and currently reside in Nebraska with my husband, daughter and our two kittens.

I have been crafty since I can remember. Whether it was helping my mom stuff fabric wreaths with Polyfil as a child or pre-teen me finishing a cross-stitch pattern. When my sister introduced me to stamping around 1997 and showed me how to heat emboss – I was hooked on papercrafting! To this day watching embossing powder melt and set is one of my favorites.

My style is clean and simple and when I find a sketch/pattern I enjoy, I like to stick with it. That may be the reason why I started SheetLoad of Cards.

About 12 years ago I discovered one-sheet wonders, but wanted to stick to one layout for the paper. I started a monthly e-zine called “SheetLoad of Cards” where I shared sketches, cutting guides and design team samples that focused on creating lots of cards with just a little bit of paper.

I took about a 10-year hiatus and started the series back up last year as a monthly feature on my YouTube channel. The printable is free to subscribers to my channel and each month my collaborators and I share lots of samples to show just how versatile a SheetLoad can be.

I love to make pretty things. And I love to inspire others in their paper crafting journey, whether it’s Cricut, scrapbooking, card making, stamping, invitations, or home & baby nursery decor! When I found CTMH 11+ years ago, I first fell in love with the clear stamps and easy-to-match products. Then I fell in love with all the other high-quality products and Cricut collections that help me complete my projects faster, simpler, and easier — which is always a plus in my book! Join me as I share my passion for Playing With Paper! Please contact me if you have any questions!
