Ruthie's Greetings Hot Topics Discussion


Hey everyone!
I hope that you are enjoying your day. I've decided to start posting Ruthie's Greeting art discussions in between card blog posts.

The first topic is :


Does an artist need inspiration to create art?

    That's a great question!
    I suppose some artists do need inspiration, while others don't. Just like some are naturally creative where others have to have alot of training.
    There are times when I am making cards and I just do them without really thinking of anything in particular except cut paper, fold paper, glue paper, etc. etc. and other times I'm asked to make more of a special card and I have to really think about that person or find certain things in my supplies that 'inspire' me or get me feeling tuned in to what I was asked to do. Other times, I know exactly what I want to do, but I need the 'motivation' to get the work started.

How to Print Etsy Shipping Labels on Your Munbyn Printer

  Hi everyone! It's been a long time! Recently, I purchased the Munbyn thermal printer (ITPP941 model) to create my Etsy shipping labels,  and it was a challenge in the beginning! I wasted a lot of labels because I didn't know what I was doing (lol). After watching Munbyn's videos and playing around with my settings, I figured it out. So I decided to provide the steps for how I set up my Munbyn thermal printer to print my 4x6 in. Etsy shipping labels: Steps 1 & 2: Set up and calibrate your Munbyn thermal printer: In the beginning, I made the mistake of thinking that when I placed the labels in the thermal printer and closed the door, the machine automatically calibrated. I thought this because when you close the door, the machine advances approx 3 labels, but this doesn't mean it's calibrated.  In the video by Munbyn, you can see the woman holding down the button at the top of the printer to calibrate the machine.  Step 3: Change your Etsy shipping settings (on ...

African-American,  style greeting cards Hey everyone! If you read my last post, then you know that I've been working on new African-American, handmade greeting cards that will soon be available for purchase in my Etsy shop. The new style or fashion cards featured in this post are stylish and vibrant. The front of the cards feature beautiful, brown figures that are wearing cute dresses and shoes. You can see from the pictures... They are rocking little afros :-) The women figures and features are 2D; they are raised from the paper. All figures and their features were hand drawn and cut.
