Story: I made these graduation fans for my granddaughters, and they turned out so cute. I uploaded her graduation picture into IdeaStudio to size it just right, then printed it on Pen + Gear copy paper using my Epson 2800 so the colors stayed bright and clear. The “congrats grad” design came from Loklik Studio, and my iCraft cut all the layered pieces perfectly. Once everything was ready, I glued the design onto sturdy Walmart cardstock and added the handles to finish them off.
My only hiccup came at the very end — my iCraft wouldn’t read the registration lines, so I switched to the option that cuts the picture as if it were cardstock instead of regular paper. That setting made the cut come out a little uneven, and honestly it tested my patience because this registration issue has been going on too long in my opinion. But even with that frustration, the fans still came out beautiful and full of love.

Story: A Thank You to an Amazing Community
This piece began inside LOKLiK Idea Studio — just simple layers of cardstock, carefully designed and cut with intention. But it quickly became something more.
The soft lavender tones represent creativity and calm. The geometric fold design reflects precision and growth. And the bright pink ribbon? That’s the heart of it all — bold, joyful, and full of gratitude.
When the doors gently open, they reveal a message of appreciation. Because this isn’t just a card — it’s a symbol.
A symbol of connection.
Of makers supporting makers.
Of a community that shares ideas, encouragement, and inspiration every single day.
This was created as a heartfelt thank you to HTVRONT and LOKLiK for building such an incredible, supportive creative space. A place where beginners feel welcome, small businesses feel seen, and creativity truly thrives.

I have 4 grandsons and they will get handmade cards too but my granddaughter will get the craftiest one. She loves doing crafts with me and she will love something special like this. Maybe our next project together will be paper quilling!]
**Here’s my paper-craft-fun entry for Week 3 number 2 IdeaStudio link: [Project | Blackrock Lahaina, Maui Shadowbox] Story: [This is a very special place called Black Rock in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. it is a large jetty made up of volcanic black lava rocks. The rocks are home to abundant species of coral. The coral draws in the fish. The fish draw in the sea turtles, rays and dolphins and farther out the humpback whales… It is a mystical, magical place. Being underwater and watching all the sea life is an amazing experience.
My Shadowbox is home to the [humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa (Rhinecanthus rectangulus), or reef triggerfish, is the official state fish of Hawaii. Known for its vibrant colors, angular shape, and a “pig-like” snout, this small, 10-inch fish inhabits shallow Pacific reefs, feeding on algae and invertebrates. They are highly territorial, aggressive, and known to bite divers. (Taken from Google).
This place is special to us. We spent our 40th Anniversay here. It was before the devastating fires in Lahaina. This area is much like it was before the fire but downtown Lahaina is still not developed. We will always remember the Old Town of Lahaina and the humuhumu celebrates Hawaii’s strong and brave history.
Story: Today is my wedding anniversary, so I made this card for my husband. It was inspired by 21 years of marriage—and the annual tradition of me remembering the anniversary first.

Story
My First Shadowbox for My Granddaughter
I stepped out of my comfort zone and made my very first shadowbox — and it was for my granddaughter, who graduates in May. My Loklik community inspired me to try something new, so I went for it with a full heart.
