Heavy metal without your ears hurting.

Today’s technique is brilliant, quite literally. You take the negative space of the die to create a frame. Instead of worrying about the stickiness that is left behind you place the cutouts to create an inlaid effect. The link for the video is https://youtu.be/ajVnCPs4xbU if you would like to see this card being created. Here aContinue reading “Heavy metal without your ears hurting.”

Happy Birthday Meets Reindeer!

Did you know that the scraps from your die of your Big Shot can become a new creation? Take the Birthday Thinlits…the scrap from the top of the die becomes an antler for a reindeer. Remember to look at things upside down and sideways. Enjoy and Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

A box with a different shape.

Not all boxes are square. They are usually not a sphere but they can be many different shapes. Today’s box or container is a triangle. This box is especially sturdy considering it is all cardstock. Give it a try. The complete instructions are at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/triangleluminarybox/ Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Is Monday managing you?

What happens in Vegas…

Not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. After much processing and research I have an idea. There is a fellow crafter that is collecting cards for the families of the victims. I will be sending a box of cards to her on October 16th. If you would like to participate please drop offContinue reading “What happens in Vegas…”

How to create a silhouette.

During this time of year a silhouette is important. So grab your dazzling diamonds glimmer paper and get going. Cut a circle with your dies to create the moon. Then punch the cat out. Remember to sponge the moon with coordinating colors. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Clouds are not just for the sky.

Today is one of my favorite themes, Wacky Wednesday. I love looking outside the box to see what else we can create with a product. Today the cloud from “Up and Away” becomes a hole for a tag punch. Here is the finished tag with this! Remember that the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch matches withContinue reading “Clouds are not just for the sky.”
