Promoting Folksy

What a lovely surprise and many thanks for the feature.

@LooneySpoons We recently updated our Folksy Friday templates so if you use the link from that blog post they’ll already be 4:5.
A lot of the templates still have a square main grid, but have faded boxes above and below to make it up to the correct size, so for these you just need to remember to add your item photos again in those spaces to give it a subtle repeated look.

Thank you! I was wondering how that subtle repeated look was achieved :slight_smile:

What’s a subtle repeated look?

Thanks :heart_exclamation:

@itsatwinthing Like on our Folksy Friday from last week, where the main images are repeated on the edges, but because they’re faded, they don’t stand out as duplicates. It just gives a more natural look than big white bars at the top/bottom when you still want to use a square grid but fit Instagram’s new size preference.

Good morning All. It’s been a few weeks since I did a FF, concentrating on craft fairs and making stock, and I found the new search layout a bit hard to cope with this morning! So in the end I have chosen shops who are contributors to this thread, on the basis that you are all awesome! @beyondthefielddesigns @photofairytales @LooneySpoons @itsatwinthing
@moondropstudio @Lellibellecards @WhimsicalBells @ImogenGeorgeJewellery I’ve just posted on Plum Porridge and Plum Porridge (@aandabarwick) • Instagram photos and videos

Thank you for showing our Tree of Life :heart_exclamation:

Finally got a certain part of my anatomy in gear and made a Folksy Friday board - featuring the higher end of the price spectrum this week in case there are big spenders out there looking to splash some cash over the holiday weekend!

Shop names are vital! Although I admit I started doing it so I could remember whose item was which :rofl:
