Just a couple of cards that were created yesterday that I thought I would post here. The Christmas one was created with embossing paste that is dried with a heat gun until fluffy. The birthday card is using the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on page 5 of the Holiday Catalog. It uses theContinue reading “Creating and having fun.”

Stamping with all things.
Some days you intend to stamp and other days every day items become what is used. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the catalog. Today’s tool is a wine glass, specifically the bottom of the glass. I am thinking this and a few other “techniques” will become an oops class. But for now startContinue reading “Stamping with all things.”
An oops is a creative opportunity.
Have you created a card and at the last second you tip over your water bottle and it is now a watercolor? Not all oops’es are mistakes. They are usually just creative opportunities. This card was created with a mistake in mind. Take a saucer and pour some wine in it. The bottom of theContinue reading “An oops is a creative opportunity.”
Black magic and rainbows…
It’s Thursday and I am happy to show you a new way to use your embossing paste. Let it dry like normal and then sponge color on top. You can use a sponge, dauber, or even the sponge brayer. Then cut your die in coordinating colors of cardstock. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Punches are to elevate.
I hope everything is good with you and everyone is back to work or school. Holidays always seem to give a good break to the routine, but in many ways mess up things too. So, if you are feeling a little less than “ready to go” I can empathize with you. For today we willContinue reading “Punches are to elevate.”
Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…
There is no mistake in crafting. There is an opportunity to make something new and different when the project does not go as planned. So, earlier this week, I had sat down to create. Everything was going as planned until I cut the ribbon too short. It may not look like it is too shortContinue reading “Every mistake is just a creative opportunity…”
Sometimes backwards is the right way.
I was the kid that walked to school backwards just because I could. And my Mom was saying the whole time “please turn around so you don’t trip and fall”. Well, that was the first time. By the end of the treck she was telling me somewhat forcefully to “walk right”. Well, I didn’t die,Continue reading “Sometimes backwards is the right way.”
An oldie with a twist!
Sometimes it’s good to go back to the basics and then put a tiny bit of a twist on it. Today’s tutorial comes from SplitCoastStampers. We have all done the shaving cream backgrounds, but have you done them with a stencil or die cut. So, here’s something to try… http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/shavingcreamstenciling/ If you would like toContinue reading “An oldie with a twist!”
Ballpoint pen embossing
You heard me correct. Don’t go clean your glasses. I said embossing with a ballpoint pen. There is enough “juice” in a ballpoint pen to spread the embossing powder quickly and then use the heat gun. So, for some that want our sayings to be different, you can do it now. You just have toContinue reading “Ballpoint pen embossing”
