Ephemerally Speaking & New Coupon Code

*Compensated affiliate links used where possible at zero cost to you. No posts are ever sponsored or paid.*

If you've been around long enough to see trends come back around - yes, I'm old - like the ephemera trend. In the late 1900s, when we were doing a LOT of ATC swaps, ephemera was heavily used, but in those days, was harder to find. There were some Ebay sellers back then, but it was rarer and more expensive, so I'm happy to see it making a comeback in a more affordable way. 

I have some ephemera-only cards for you today. Well not ONLY because I am using this gorgeous paper as well. But I love these little packages of die cut ephemera with foil, etc. that I used with the paper. All the colors coordinate! I picked a sentiment that had little matching teal flowers in it and used the essentials dies to cut circles from another paper in that same stack.

The plummy paper is so pretty with the watercolor-looking springy green. The little birdie is from this package of ephemera. I punched out some gold glitter paper circles to match the foiled parts.

I have a new coupon code for you today at one of my FAVORITE crafty sites - Acorns & Twigs! If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've been making potholders for a few years while I watch TV in the evenings - it's so fun & relaxing and takes me back to a beloved childhood craft.

I re-started this after we found a loom in a relative's house who had passed away from Covid in 2020. I had forgotten about this craft completely and was overjoyed to rediscover it. It's simple, repetitive, and patterns have come a LONG way. 

But I wasn't the only one who had the idea for this pandemic craft - and I quickly found that the quality of loops available was mostly terrible. Until I found Acorn & Twigs. A small, family owned business that has really high quality crafty goodies - and the color range on the loops was amazing. 

So I bought a TON of them and started working on my own patterns. I found that the PRO loom gives you more design freedom, but I enjoy both. 

I joined their Keep on Looping club too (temporarily sold out) and love it. 

Anyway - sweet family, sweet crafty supplies. 

And they gave me a coupon code you can use for 10% off on their site - UNDERSTANDBLUE. Enjoy! Loveyameanitbye.
