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.”

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.”
Punches can be a puzzle.
Our punches can also be used as a puzzle. The Everyday Label Punch fits much like a puzzle does. So when you can’t think of what to do for a background use a punch. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
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 🙂

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.”
When Christmas ribbon becomes Valentine accents.
Don’t throw away your Christmas ribbon. That red ribbon becomes a great accent for Valentine’s Day. Start thinking outside the box. Just about anything allotted for Christmas can be re-purposed for Valentine’s Day. Remember to look sideways, upside down, and backwards at your supplies. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Getting to what is inside.
The difference between cheap cardstock and quality is easy to tell. You need to rip a corner off or take some bleach to it. This will allow you to reveal the inner core. Cheaper cardstock is often not dyed all the way through so the core has a white color instead of being consistent allContinue reading “Getting to what is inside.”
