Fridays are fantastic…

Fridays are fantastic if we make them that way.  I have to give a huge thank you to everyone that has helped me with my monster goal of $100K.  I feel so blessed at the amount of help I have received.  So, to give you an update, I am $64.87 away from $100K.  Yes, that’sContinue reading “Fridays are fantastic…”

New technique…turning paste into fluff!

On last night’s Facebook Live I turned embossing paste into fluff!  You take a heat gun to it until it changes texture. With practice this becomes very realistic.  You can see the difference between my first attempt on the card and my second on the stocking.  The only tip I have so far is toContinue reading “New technique…turning paste into fluff!”

Creating and having fun.

Just a couple of cards that were created yesterday that I thought I would post here. The Christmas one was created with embossing paste that is dried with a heat gun until fluffy. The birthday card is using the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on page 5 of the Holiday Catalog.  It uses theContinue reading “Creating and having fun.”

Stamping with all things.

Some days you intend to stamp and other days every day items become what is used.  Don’t be afraid to look outside of the catalog.  Today’s tool is a wine glass, specifically the bottom of the glass.  I am thinking this and a few other “techniques” will become an oops class.  But for now startContinue reading “Stamping with all things.”

An oops is a creative opportunity.

Have you created a card and at the last second you tip over your water bottle and it is now a watercolor?  Not all oops’es are mistakes.  They are usually just creative opportunities.  This card was created with a mistake in mind. Take a saucer and pour some wine in it. The bottom of theContinue reading “An oops is a creative opportunity.”

It’s Monday so it’s time to talk about what’s coming up.

I know some of you dread Mondays horribly.  Hopefully this brings a tiny ray of hope or sunshine to your day.  Here are some fun things coming up. If you prefer to order online please use host code DYRBZYGR through tonight. On Friday I will stop by the Pioneer Days Kick-Off to enjoy the music andContinue reading “It’s Monday so it’s time to talk about what’s coming up.”

Sunday is for catching up.

For me, Sunday is for catching up.  Catching up on rest, blogs, reading, projects, laundry, and some cleaning.  If you are not caught up on this blog I would encourage you to go scroll through a few days.  There have been some promotions announced and you may not want to miss out.  As for me,Continue reading “Sunday is for catching up.”

Sales, goals, and bling.

Have you had a goal?  When you achieve it how does it make you feel?  Right now I am working on a huge goal and I am almost there.  I have a goal to reach $100,000 in sales for my 11 year career by September 30, 2017.  I have less than $500 to go toContinue reading “Sales, goals, and bling.”

Fridays are for friendship…

I am writing this a little late because I was finishing some custom orders and then had some friends drop in.  That stamping thing distracts me every time. 🙂 So, how did you give back today?  Was it a small gesture or did you do something huge like buy lunch? I have to say thatContinue reading “Fridays are for friendship…”

Black magic and rainbows…

It’s Thursday and I am happy to show you a new way to use your embossing paste.  Let it dry like normal and then sponge color on top.  You can use a sponge, dauber, or even the sponge brayer.  Then cut your die in coordinating colors of cardstock. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
