Tags can be used for more than tying on a gift bag. They can also be used as card candy (accent or embellishment pieces for cards). So the next time you have a tag that doesn’t seem to go with anything make it a card! The designer series paper, punches, and stamps are from theContinue reading “Tags are for more than bags.”

Boxes, favors, and sweets.
Today’s tutorial is brought to you by the Lots to Love Box Framelits. So let’s jump in! Pick your cardstock that you want to cut.

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 🙂
