Remembering what day it is.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to focus on resting, re-charging, and breaking your routine.

I don’t know about you but some weeks everything seems to blend together. Every day you wake up and begin to work and it all just seems to be the same. No day looks different and it all is just one big string of sunrises and sunsets smooshed together. Have you had those weeks?

I had that week this week. I couldn’t seem to remember the dates and actually showed up a day early for a business lunch. Driving into the parking lot of the restaurant was strange. As I turned my truck off I remarked to my fellow networker that there just seemed to be no cars here since the event starts in 15 minutes. Well, there were no cars because I was a day early. Somehow I had moved forward a day. So, yes, I came back the next day and everything worked out.

These are the kind of weeks that you really need to break your routine and rest a bit to get back on track. It’s important to hit the reset on your body from time to time to stay on top of things. Don’t forget to take care of yourself.

Happy Crafting!

Sending cards.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. I’ve been asking for places to send cards to help out. Well…Carol found a place. Thank you Carol!

The Fisher House is a place located by military and VA medical centers around the world. They have up to 21 suites or private bedrooms with a common kitchen and dining space. The first Fisher House opened in 1991.

So I have talked to the local one in California, specifically near San Diego. They didn’t have a use for cards. But Carol went to the one in St Louis, Missouri and they want our cards. They especially want cards for kids.

Here is the address:

Fisher House

Attn: Vanniecia Brown

1 Jefferson Barracks

St Louis, MO 63125

I will be sending boxes of cards to them periodically. So if you have cards with envelopes please send them my way or to Fisher House.

Happy Crafting!

Paper Pumpkin and Its Alternative.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today we are making pumpkins and apples out of boxes. The Paper Pumpkin for this month are some cute Halloween-themed mini gable boxes. I know some of you want cards so I came up with an alternative to the box so a card could still be created.

You will need the Harvest Hello Bundle to create the alternative card.

For full instructions please watch the video at https://youtu.be/dfX5r5dTupc.

When spiders become daisies.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Wacky Wednesday! This is the day where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Have you ever thought of using a flower to make a spider? (I know this was on the Facebook Live last week but I had to do this as an actual post.) The Daisy Punch or Medium Daisy Punch (depending on how big your spider) creates a very cute spider. Put some googly eyes on it and you are ready.

Happy Crafting!

Pulling apart an image.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Technique Tuesday! Do you remember me saying look at your product not only the correct way, but also upside down and sideways? Well, today is no different. Today I am pulling apart a leaf from the Seasonal Layers Dies. This maple leaf often is too big for me. But a few simple cuts with the Snips and I have a ready made border all set to go.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

P.S. Does anyone see a bat in the remaining leaf on the bottom?

Rest is just a pause.

Posted on by stampingwithjoni

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest or re-charge.

Don’t be afraid to rest. It’s not quitting but it is necessary.

In music a rest allows you to turn the page or another instrument to be featured. It is necessary for the music to change and to keep the audience interested.

In life it is necessary to rest so muscles can heal after a workout. That way you can come back stronger and able to do more.

I hope you are getting the picture…don’t be afraid to rest. Now I am off of here to go put my feet up.

Happy Crafting!
