Each year I like to look back at the blog stats to see which posts our readers liked best. It's fun to see which topics generated the most enthusiasm. In general, posts introducing new collections were very popular, especially "spoilers". Tricia's card making (ALCM) formulas also had very high readership. That said, it became evident new techniques and tutorials were tops. The five posts below were the most popular in 2016:
CELEBRATE POP-UP BALLOON CARD
Kay's adorable pop-up card tutorial has been read over 5,300 times, and pinned on Pinterest almost 2,000 times. I think it's safe to say this post is the clear winner!
DOUBLE PLEATED CARD TUTORIAL
We're always looking for fun ways to make our pages and cards extra special, so fun folds and stamping techniques do especially well on the blog. Kay has shared a number of unique ways to incorporate the Club Stamp Quad Text Weight Print into cards and pages over the years, but her Double Pleated Card Tutorial was a definite standout.
ON THE GO ALBUM INSTRUCTIONS
It's clear paper-crafting types LOVE mini books and mini albums. Tricia's On the Go Album post shared full written instructions, as well as an awesome video tutorial. Because who doesn't love videos by our very own Tricia Morris?
SUNFLOWERS STAMPING TECHNIQUES
What can I say? Folks love a good tutorial, and Kay's gorgeous Sunflowers stamped cards were no exception. The techniques she shared can be used again and again with any stamps from your stash.
CELEBRATE 3X3 NOTECARDS AND BOX TUTORIAL
Paper engineering projects that make great little gifts are always a hit. Tricia's sweet 3x3 greeting card set in a coordinating storage box was our fifth most-read blog post of the year.
