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 🙂

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…”
