Saving the world one recycled glue stick and jar of biodegrable glitter at a time. Small steps crafty folks can take to help the environment. Feb 20, 2020

Tiffany Threadgould the GVP of Design and Engineering at TerraCycle, Inc & Loop Global stops by to talk about crafting, recycling and how to join those two in more than just your average up-cycled project. You might know Terracycle as a company that turns old diapers and cigarette butts into park benches. Did you know they can recycle glue stick tubes, spent markers and party balloons too? Loop is another exciting endeavor from Terracycle where currently you can get your Pantene shampoo, Clorox wipes and countless other brands sent to you in a reusable container. When you are done you send the container in, they fill it up and send it back. Imagine if we could do that with craft paint bottles! It might be happening sooner than you think.

Ed Roth of Stencil 1 Apr 18, 2019

Ever wanted to see your products hanging in the aisles of Target? Yeah, who hasn’t? Today’s Creative Queso Podcast guest, Ed Roth of Stencil1, is in Target stores right now and we are chatting all about how he got there.

Ed not only has product lines, but has also authored several books and licensed his images to companies like Plaid Crafts landing his stencils into stores like Michaels and JoAnns. Influencers and content creators often only get the one off chance to work with large companies on a campaign or project, but in this interview Ed and I talk about how to make those experiences lasting mutually beneficial relationships.

Stencil1, in my opinion, is responsible for making stencils cool again. Long gone are the stenciled ivy vines and geese in bonnets. Ed’s stencils are edgy and fun, think ice cream cones, muscle cars and my favorite classic monsters.

Swell Designer Mar 22, 2019

Today I am chatting with content whisperer Alexa Westerfield AKA The Swell Designer and the boss lady at Swell Creative Media. Alexa and I chat about her amazing new free PDF, "One Piece of Content 25 Different Ways". There is not a creative content designer on the planet that does not need that kind of information in their back pocket. The never ending treadmill of creating content is hard wheel to get off of. Alexa and I talk about clever ways to repackage the content you already have, how crafters can work smarter not harder, AND how to drill down and find your benchmark content.
