Sometimes even the most beautiful paper needs a boost. I dropped about a dozen drops of Grapefruit Grove ink in the spritzer and filled the rest with water.

Small items become part of a larger whole.
Yesterday we talked about how glue dots can become a focal point for grouping sequins. Well, today the finished card appears from these groupings.

Cut in half (at 4Continue reading “Small items become part of a larger whole.”
Glue dots can be used to group items.
Just when you thought the mini glue dots were small and they couldn’t do more, here is another idea. Take your paper piercer and place a glue dot at the end of it. Then stick small sequins to the end of it. Now you have a cluster of sequins instead of placing them one atContinue reading “Glue dots can be used to group items.”
It’s the simple things.

Since the magnet is so strong you can tuck the ribbon under and tie your bow. It’s easy to get things done. I just haven’t figuredContinue reading “Stamparatus is more than a positioner.”
Backgrounds become texture.
Sometimes adding a little bit of a background can make all the difference in the world. It can make a dull card or accent become an amazing piece. For this tag I used our new Stitched Labels Framelits Dies and the coordinating stamp set. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.
Today’s tutorial is on how to create this inlaid card. So let’s get to it. 🙂 Start with a card base cut tall instead of our regular. Instead of cutting at 5 1/2 inches cut instead at 4 1/4″. Then score at 5 1/2 ” and not 4 1/4″. Thick white is used here. ThenContinue reading “Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.”
