Print from the Back Tray on Your Printer

Over the past month I had been prepping for my first ever craft fair. In order to prepare there were a lot of things to create via printing, cutting and stamping. I  decided to create all of my hang tags and packaging cards by hand to save money using card stock. My go to type of card stock to use is heavy weight 110 lb for hang tags and bow packaging: it is thick and will often jam up the printer. Printers rotate paper to print on paper but card stock this thick is more difficult to bend. Another reason to use the back tray is when you are printing on sticker paper. Sticker paper often gunks up my printer if I am printing multiple sheets. Instead of getting frustrated and wasting resources reprinting, I have been putting the rear tray of my printer to use. 

Card Stash Basics

Who else has a love hate relationship with the rain? I love it when I’m inside but dread it when I am driving or walking in it. Today is one of those days; the wind is howling, sky is roaring and the rain is pouring. While I sip on some cocoa it is relaxing to gaze out the window and take in the trees knowing that in a few short weeks the mass holidays will take place. It’s a time of mourning which I try not to focus on but it is okay to be sad at the fact that this year will undoubtedly be very different. Knowing that loved ones should stay away is a difficult thing to swallow.
