Inspiration
Welcome to the Inspiration Archives at Twelve Tuesdays Ink!
Are you stuck, in a rut, and in need of some paper crafting project ideas to get you going? Check out the projects here. Or, maybe you are new to paper crafting, and just browsing. That’s okay, too and I hope that what you see inspires you. Whatever your reason, I’m happy for your visit.
Whether you are a beginning stamper, a casual or an avid crafter, everyone is creative and able to express themselves artistically. You simply create and nothing more, nothing less, and that’s the reason why I’d like to share it with you. So please feel free to browse around, maybe learn a thing or two, and start your arts and crafts lifestyle.
As you look, you’ll find some project ideas take no time at all to create and need as little as paper, stamps, and ink. Other projects may require a few more supplies and a little more time. I love the fact that I can complete most paper crafting projects in one sitting, and I find great satisfaction in this. Stamping Up! has some wonderful products to make paper crafting easy. Which is another reason I love this hobby!
