Embossing buddy is not just for embossing.

So today we are going to explore how to use a product in a way it was not intended.  I am sure that you know the embossing buddy is used to take static out of paper or cardstock.  But, did you know, that the buddy can also be used to remove adhesive or sticky spots.Continue reading “Embossing buddy is not just for embossing.”

Punches are to elevate.

I hope everything is good with you and everyone is back to work or school.  Holidays always seem to give a good break to the routine, but in many ways mess up things too.  So, if you are feeling a little less than “ready to go” I can empathize with you. For today we willContinue reading “Punches are to elevate.”

Is today a work day?

Most everyone has today off, but not all.  The military gates still need to be guarded, songs have to be recorded, and cards need to be created.  For me, I am putting some time in at the craft table today.  If you create today don’t forget to post photos on the Facebook page for rewardContinue reading “Is today a work day?”

How do you rest?

Fridays are giving back…sometimes to our own.

Today’s post is a hard one to write.  I thought we were through the worst of things for awhile, but God has different plans.  Our sweet Merry has been going through it.  In the last two years she has lost her husband and one of her two daughters to cancer.  Just this week she lostContinue reading “Fridays are giving back…sometimes to our own.”

Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…

There is no mistake in crafting.  There is an opportunity to make something new and different when the project does not go as planned. So, earlier this week, I had sat down to create.  Everything was going as planned until I cut the ribbon too short. It may not look like it is too shortContinue reading “Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…”

Sometimes backwards is the right way.

I was the kid that walked to school backwards just because I could.  And my Mom was saying the whole time “please turn around so you don’t trip and fall”.  Well, that was the first time.  By the end of the treck she was telling me somewhat forcefully to “walk right”.  Well, I didn’t die,Continue reading “Sometimes backwards is the right way.”

An oldie with a twist!

Sometimes it’s good to go back to the basics and then put a tiny bit of a twist on it.  Today’s tutorial comes from SplitCoastStampers.  We have all done the shaving cream backgrounds, but have you done them with a stencil or die cut.  So, here’s something to try… http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/shavingcreamstenciling/ If you would like toContinue reading “An oldie with a twist!”
