🔮 Crisis and Opportunity | The Creative Rune Summoning Plan Begins Now!

[Samantha_Bryant]

And another one. I so enjoy making these.

Project | Made With Love

This heartfelt baby onesie was created to celebrate the miracle of life and the love that surrounds every new beginning. Designed in Canva, the soft pastel gradient typography brings a gentle, joyful energy to the phrase “Made With Love,” with each letter of “Love” rendered in calming shades of pastel green and blue. The design was printed using printable vinyl and applied with precision using a mini heat press. The base garment is a white Gerber long-sleeve onesie, chosen for its softness and …

Thank you! I’m happy you think so!

I think we must have broken the Rune wheel… LOL! I have some shared projects from a couple days ago that haven’t received runes. I knew we were gonna spin it so much that we would break it! HA!

[rinsky]

Yup! It is happening… Hopefully, the wheel will be back at service - I’m hoping for a green color wheel!

So cute!

What is a dollar tree?

[MCVDFC]

Dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Dollar Store are chain stores in USA that sell a variety of items at very low prices, with many costing just $1.
We have similar stores in UK called Poundland and Pound Stretcher.

Well, the Dollar Tree is a little different from the Dollar General and Family Dollar. The Tree has set prices of $1.25 on most items. There’s a $3 section and a $5 section, now, as well. The Family Dollar and Dollar General price their items at an exact dollar amount, like $3, $5, $10, $12, etc. They carry full sized, name brand products, at maybe a slight discount, but the store has many different prices throughout, all the way up to $50. The Dollar Tree keeps their prices mainly under $5. It used to all be $1, but in 2021, they increased to $1.25 and added their higher dollar sections. It’s a great place to get crafting supplies, as you can get a lot of supplies at $1.25 ea. They also sell name brand items at the very low price of $1.25, but aren’t full size packages, as you would find at the Family Dollar, Dollar General, grocery, and department stores.

now you got me wondering what is Dollar General and Dollar family but I can get from your words as I go reading they’re all USA’s stores

Thank you for your answer

[Samantha_Bryant]

Yeah, they’re just discount stores, really. The Family Dollar and Dollar General are kind of discounted, but it’s really just a more convenient store to pick up household goods, toys, and some food items and clothing. During spring and summer you can find gardening & summer stuff, and fall and winter you can find holiday decor and gifts. What makes them so convenient is that there are very many of them, so chances are, you’ll find one, or both, near your neighborhood. If you need some laundry detergent or shampoo and conditioner or something like that, you can just run in and grab it really quick, without having to stand in a long checkout line or browse through a large store to find what you need. I get my laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, dog food, and hygiene stuff from there. It’s cheaper and more convenient than the grocery store. But if you want craft items, the Dollar Tree is where it’s at!

[redhada]

Yeah most of the countries have different local stores systems like that or different. The farest from that and the closest to a local family store, the better IMO

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I made this, yesterday. After I made the onesies, I spent the rest of the day designing, weeding and pressing this shirt. I’m so happy with how easy the HTVRONT Glitter vinyl is to weed, and I absolutely love the plaid patterned vinyl.

Project | It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Tee

This joyful holiday tee was crafted using a pre-made design from the Loklik Ideastudio library, brought to life with vibrant holiday-patterned HTV and pressed using the HTVRONT H10 Heat Press. The design features playful fonts in red, green, and gold, paired with a cozy plaid Christmas tree and festive swirls—all set against a classic black T-shirt for bold seasonal contrast. The phrase “It’s the Most Wonderful TIME of the Year” evokes the warmth and excitement of the holidays. With its crisp a…

Not many local family stores near me that sell that kind of stuff lol. We have resell shops, but none that sell household items and crafting supplies. Otherwise, I’d shop there. The closest I could find to that would be someone’s yard sale who does couponing and they already bought the soaps and stuff from the dollar stores with coupons and are now selling at regular price in their yard. But I don’t even come across those kinds of yard sales.

Not anymore, exactly because all the capitalism commerce crazines, and the lower is your economy level, the more difficult ethical/logical shopping is, same way, the lower it is, the more difficult eating healthy and away from obesity is.

But, sorry , this is going to away from crafting, I’m sorry I’m changing the subject I just didn´t know that USA brands (I guess they are that, chain stores) It is like if I talk about going to Primaprix or Mercadona (or I have this or this primaprix and that mercadona) you just don´t get I’m talking about stores they can be a new tools

We use to call them “Todo a cien” (everything for 100, it sounds good in Spanish), but that was before the Euro, after that we recovered the traditional bazaar word unless it is a chain store. I’ve lived in the UK, same thing.

Where did you live in UK?

Let’s get these runes! Well, nothing seems to be working right, today, I hope this works. It’s not showing the image on the Inspiration Topics page. I have another one that still hasn’t synced, but it said it was approved in the app. So, idk.

[Samantha_Bryant]

Well, here’s this one. I saved it as a public design, as I’ve done the previous ones, but it wasn’t showing up over here. So, I added a new post in the Community section of the app. Hope it works.
