The Spooky Halloween Sale lasts from October 1 - October 31!
1. It helps to organize your supplies. I like to keep my ink pads in color order (ROYGBIV then neutrals).
2. You can easily see what colors you have so that you don't accidentally purchase a color you already have. It can also show what color family you might need.
3. Swatching helps you see the ink pad's true color as it can look different on the lid than it does on paper.
4. A swatch list can help you plan projects with colors that complement each other.
5. Last, a swatch will show you the actual properties of the ink such as saturation, shimmer, or having a chalky appearance (like Oxides).
Watch my ink blending video. I use Catherine Pooler Matcha and Grass Skirt as well as Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Forest Moss, to make a background that is lighter in the middle and darker near the edges. I'm still new at making videos, so please don't judge too harshly!
I love the vibrancy of the infusible ink and how it becomes part of the fabric. It was not as difficult as I remembered. The process went very smoothly following Cricut's directions. I hope you'll give infusible ink a try!

My son-in-law is a huge Star Wars fan and has a birthday coming up. I wanted to make a card with Yoda on it, but I didn't want to pay for the likeness, so I decided to make Yoda out of shapes from Cricut Design Space. It was fun!
The inside says, "Celebrate, you must."
I also learned that the shape I used for Yoda's ears is called (at least in Design Space) a squircle. And the shape I used for his clothing, not the cloak, but the other piece, is called an elongated scallop. Who knew? And who knew that stars could look like his hands and feet?
I hope this inspires you to create something new!
One of my sons-in-law is a fan of World of Warships, like my husband, so I decided is birthday card would have a ship theme. I used shapes, images, and test from Cricut design space as well as Cricut pens, liquid glue, and foam tape to pop up the waves.
I'm not accustomed to making videos, but I decided to video this in case anyone else wants to make similar card.
