Lots of cards are being created this week.  Lots and lots.  Why?  I am getting ready for OnStage of course.  Here is a photo of my swap. And here are the video links (sorry my internet cut out so there are two videos) on how to make it with a bonus of the stamparatus. AndContinue reading “Lots of cards this week.”

Invisible punches.

Do you remember how to make your punches invisible?  Take a mat and punch out of the middle so you don’t miss it.  Then you have your accent piece that is guaranteed to match and not be missed. Don’t waste your cardstock! Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Big stamps for little things.

Watercolor pencils and aqua painters, oh my.

Tip:  Make sure if you are coloring to stamp with memento ink for the stampin’ blends or in archivalContinue reading “Larger stamps can be backgrounds too.”

Finishing a project.

Do you have a bunch of unfinished projects laying around?  Finish them!  Do you know how good it feels to actually finish?  I often don’t either, but I finished my card last night.  It made me want to finish more projects.  So here is the video tutorial on this card. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers,Continue reading “Finishing a project.”

How to unstick a mistake.
