I'm Suzette and my husband is Michael. We are two old folks who met a long long time ago in California while serving in the Army. First and foremost - we are crafters. No that's not quite right. We are craftaholics. Addicted. We've been crafting things since our little ones were little. Now they are coming home with littles of their own and we're starting to craft with them also!
We've made ceramics, candles, paper things, cards, buttons, magnets, pencils, hangers, paper confetti, engravings, embroidery, mouse pads, coffee mugs, etc. We've done a ton of craft shows, and have usually faired fairly well. Michael is awesome at building me our booths and figuring out awesome ways to package and present our crafted items so that they appear so much more professional than if we had just put them on a table by themselves.
The only thing that has really changed since the girls were little is the equipment that we use has gotten a lot fancier. We're no longer using a standard home style inkjet printer. Nope - we have a nice new fancy wide format Roland VG-540 that can print (and cut) things up to 54" x 150'. We're no longer using a Cameo Silhouette or Cricut. Nope. We've switched to an American Made Epilog Laser and a wide format Roland Printer to print and cut vinyl decals. We're no longer using a standard paper cutter - we've got one of those fancy machines that can precisely cut up to 500 sheets of paper at a time.
Oh. Did I mention that we have multiple shops here on Etsy? We own and operate a single company called "Creations 101, LLC." Creations has a few "brands" that we are working on. Would you believe that MugDoodles sells Coffee Mugs and Travel Mugs? DIYKraftSupplies sells all things related to craft supplies. TwistedCrafters sells everything else (finished crafted items from engraved slates, button pinbacks, engraved pencils, etc). We are blessed to be able to do what we do, and we know it. Our newest shop - LaserReadyDesigns will be taking the years of experience creating design files for our own lasers and passing some of those designs onto you.
Between the two of us, we have over 60 years experience crafting in one way or another. We've been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Probably twice. What we're going to offer to you here on LaserReadyDesigns is the design files (and a little bit of materials) that you need to create fantastic tier trays, signs and other laser engraved items.
On behalf of Michael and I - welcome to our newest Etsy store. We hope that you'll enjoy visiting here and that you'll find our products useful for use with your own crafting.
