Party pandas that dance.

Today’s tutorial is more of the visual one today.  If you have questions please contact me.  Here are the three cards created last night on the Facebook Live. And here is the link for the video that is now uploaded to YouTube. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Snowflakes aren’t just for Christmas.

The Swirly Snowflakes can be used for more than just Christmas.  The border framelit can be used for a great edge to create just about any type of card.  In this case it is for a wedding. Play with this set and take photos of your creations. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Any punch can be made a tag.

Did you know that you can create a tag out of just about any punch?  Well, you can.  I’ve taken a few photos to help with the process. First, you want to use your trimmer or cutter to cut your cardstock just barely wider than the punch. Second, you want to fold at the scoreContinue reading “Any punch can be made a tag.”

Dancing pandas.

One of the new stamp sets for Sale-A-Bration is Party Pandas and is being used to create this cute card. Take a piece of thick white cardstock cut in half and scored in the middle to create your card base. Cut a piece of basic black cardstock at 4″ X 5 1/4″ to create theContinue reading “Dancing pandas.”

Sequins and glue.

Have you ever used sequins?  How do you glue them on to your project?  Usually they end up glued on to me.  Well, after January 3rd you don’t have to worry about this any longer.  Stampin’ Up! now has adhesive-backed sequins.  Isn’t that great? Come take a look at what’s new on Sunday at theContinue reading “Sequins and glue.”

Coloring is for adults too.

In case you haven’t heard…coloring is not just for kids, it’s for adults too.  And our new Stampin’ Blends do a great job.  Not only do they color on cardstock and on rhinestones as displayed a few weeks ago.  But they also go over existing color.  So if you bought the wrong color family ofContinue reading “Coloring is for adults too.”

Bone folder does more than crease.

A bone folder can be used to flatten creases in cardstock but it can also be used to curl the edges to create gorgeous flowers. Just remember a tool can be used for many things, not just what it says on the instructions. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Sometimes crooked is the new straight.

For those of you that have attended any of my classes you will often hear me say “stamp first then punch”.  If you stamp it crooked you can still punch it crooked too making the end result straight.  Just a little technique for you that will come in handy for this Thursday’s card. Happy Crafting!Continue reading “Sometimes crooked is the new straight.”

It’s your inside that counts.

Following Tuesday’s theme of finding out what is down at the core of your cardstock is a finished card that looks awesome (in my opinion)!  I bleached early espresso cardstock and found that there was an undertone of yellow.  The burlap ribbon is pulled a bit to give a rough look.  The boots were stampedContinue reading “It’s your inside that counts.”
