It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! I recently held a class and had travelled to the host’s home. Normally the joke is when I travel, “what have I forgotten today”? I usually forget one item when I am not home. Well, it turned out to beContinue reading “Napkin for a sponge.”

Stamping after sponging.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Just a reminder to stamp after sponging. If you want to sponge a background with either a sponge or the brayer then do that first. That way your stamping does not get smeared. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

When a punch becomes a holder.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Sometimes you need a third hand. Use a punch upside down to help with it. When the Snow Globe Shaker Dome is set upside down in the 2 1/2″ circle punch you can put glitter and sequins to fill theContinue reading “When a punch becomes a holder.”

With inkyContinue reading “Add some metallic.”

Using a bone folder to straighten things out.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today we are using the bone folder to straighten things out instead of create greater creases. The bone folder can get the kinks out of ribbon or twine easily for you. Simply hold the ribbon or twine against the edgeContinue reading “Using a bone folder to straighten things out.”
