Wishful Thinking - Scrapbooking & Rubber Art Stamps

10/26/2026

Just a heads up, ladies and gents, that we will be opening a little later this coming Thursday and Friday - our hours will be 11am to 5pm. Sorry for any inconvenience...

We know you love scrapbooking, card making, and mixed media, but did you ever try working with diamond painting?

Diamond painting is a fun, relaxing activity where you place tiny gems onto a sticky canvas using matching symbols. The result is colorful, sparkling art you’ll be proud to show off. It's kind of like paint-by-number, but using tiny, sparkling gems. And, there is no experience needed to get started (great for tweens to adults)!

Tucked into one of our corners, we have a great selection of Diamond Dotz kits. From greeting cards, to various sized masterpieces, to mini quartets, and even Christmas ornaments, you're sure to find something you love!

If you're new to diamond painting and just want to try it, choose one of the smaller greeting cards. We're betting you'll be hooked on this fun, easy craft and will soon be rummaging through the larger canvases looking for your next piece.

See you at the shop!

It's time for the next round of ATC themes!

Come, join us and experience the joy of crafting with Wishful Thinking's Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) Swap! This is a fabulous and fun way to increase the number of ATCs in your own personal collection and at the same time, you'll be able to express your own creativity and share your artistic talent with others. All skill levels are welcome - anyone can make these! There's a new theme every month, which we post on Facebook, via email and on our website. Use whatever materials you already have in your craft closet or shop Wishful Thinking in person or online if you need something in particular. Guidelines are as follows:

o Make 6 cards and get 5 in return. You can make them all the same design, or all different. Don’t forget to sign the back with your contact information in case another artist would like to contact you about your ATC. Cards should measure 2.5” x 3.5”.

o Due dates are the 15th of the month (although we are flexible!). Upcoming themes are:

---- August: Ice Cream Cones – Who doesn't love an ice cream cone on a hot summer day?

---- September: Books – I just want to curl up with a good book, some bon-bons and a cup of tea!

---- October: Vintage Apothecary – Miniature poison labels and bottles, old-style botanical herbs, aged paper backgrounds to create a moody and somewhat creepy ATC

---- November: Fall Landscapes – Fall is such a beautiful season! Can you fit it on an ATC?

---- December: Stockings – Hang up those stockings near the fireplace 'cuz Santa's coming!

You’ll find more information about Artist Trading Cards and how to participate on our website. Our swap is FREE and it’s FUN! You’ll also find samples of previous swaps on our website: www.wishfulthinking-in.com
