The one thing I've never been good at is promoting Cut Out + Keep, so I was wondering if you guys had any crafty ideas for getting the word out and attracting more crafty people?

Also, for curiosity, how did you guys find CO+K?

My boyfriend sent me the link, he thinks he found it on digg, but he can't remember. doh! hehe

I have spread the word to my non crafty friends on other forums I frequent but none of them are crafters really...so that doesn't help much lol I don't have any crafty mates :( waaa

I found this site on stumbleupon.com I found it one day while stumbling under crafts. I am so glad that I did!

Aww, you have crafty friends now Karen :D None of my real-life friends are that crafty either, apart from Ysolda.

Sorry yes you guys, of course :D One friend is, but she doesn't like to go online so much.

I am so glad I found this place too, craftster is great and all, but it's so big and not geared so much towards the projects like here, which is what I love

Cat, you found ME on Virb. ;D

I'm sure if you give me time I could come up with a ton of ideas to promote the site. I help my friend Jeff with that stuff all the time.

Aww thanks TFP, that would be very very helpful :D

Kati told me about CO & K- dunno how she found out.
If you made some little poster for me Cat I couldprint them and post them on the supermarket bulletin boards

I found it by googling for cornbread recipes, I just wondered what it was.

my boyfriend says he heard you on Adam and Joe radio a while ago mentioning cut out and keep, and there's been loads of people come over here from craftster recently.

Hehe, I remember when Joe mentioned us, that was nice of him.

Shivi - Thank you, I'll make one up straight away! :D

i found it on craftbits ( i think that is the site) and loved it. I have tired getting my best friend into it, because there are something totally her style, but shes to lazy to do crafts. *sighs* and I'm happy i found this site, i love doing crafts but most of the sites i find are old lady crafts, or kiddie crafts (there is only so many crafts that you can do of those that look cool, i am not into finger painting) and those sites aren't very inspirational, though i do enjoy doing ones with steps when my mind is in an uncreative mood i like to make things i know i came up with, or at least changed here and there on the item. And this site had people around my age, which makes me feel better because i feel that im not the only 18 year that does crafts for more than just a few moments when i have nothing better to do.

i found C O + K off of wikihow, someone copied your guitar pick earring and on the discussion it gave the link to your site and ive been addicted ever since :D

For years I've been buying Somerset Studio mags for interesting ideas for my crafting. But I noticed more of these mags advertising more craft things to purchase as opposed to found and recycled items you already have to make crafts and it was getting pricey to make anything.

I never got around to searching for a site like this before...but I was influenced to post them here from my daughter.

I think about the handwork crafts my grandmothers and grandfathers made and the answer I find is that they were void in their lifetime of the things we have now that take all our time up. Our life is what we choose to do and not do.

I choose craft and it may sometimes include art but mostly it includes the members/friends here that encourage me to continue to craft because we choose to share, create from all walks of life to make it ourselves.

I have no answers or ideas about advertising but I am grateful for CO+K.

**Hugs all around**

Thank we very much for CO+K...okay, now I need to pick a craft to work on and I have so many to choose from here!!!

I couldn't remember but I think it was listed in a free craft magazine that came with the a sunday paper and I only got the paper because of the craft magazine :D

Hey Cat, you haven't sent me the posters yet, mail them to me when you get some spare time.

I think I was just looking for some craft websites for inspiration. Although it was around Halloween time, so it may have been something to do with that. I have a rubbish memory.

I do talk about it to all my friends =)

Hey Shivi - Tom wanted to design them, so it's been sitting on his to-do list for a while now, I'll give him a poke.

I found you guys through MySpace! You were a friend of someone that had added me and I thought your avatar was pretty cute! LOL..

I'll add a link at my Etsy store..(I get some traffic lol but not much lately because I really havent' had time to any promo work! I've been having too much fun here! GEESH!) And I'll send out the link on a bulletin every once in a while on MySpace.

If I think of anything else I'll post!

Aww thank you so much, as Tesco say - every little helps! :D

that's fine cat-no rush

I found you on Google! I was searching for some phrase I found on another crafting website, and CO+K was on the first page of results. Turned out to be irrelevant to what I was searching for (I think it was for papercraft designs... to cut out and keep, haha), but it looked neat so I signed up anyway.

EDIT: I just realized how old this thread is. Serves me right for browsing the archives without checking dates, I guess. Sorry for the necropost. :b
