There’s a list this week for cards.

It’s Friendship Friday!  This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.  As you know there are so many ways to create a ripple that are only limited by our imaginations.  Well, this week I am asking you for cards.  There are four this week in the crafty family that canContinue reading “There’s a list this week for cards.”

Masking with dies.

It’s Tutorial Thursday!  Dies can also be used to mask and create a background.  There is a little bit of finesse with it as you will see in the video when masking.  (You can’t forget that the die has been moved as you will cover what you just did.)  So here is the card IContinue reading “Masking with dies.”

Using dies for masking.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!  Did you know that you can cut something out from a die and then use it to mask or stencil?  Join me tonight on the Live at 7 pm as I do just this. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, JoniContinue reading “Using dies for masking.”

Letting the stamps stand on their own.

It’s Technique Tuesday!  Sometimes the stamps just need to stand on their own.  Some stamps don’t need anything behind them except simplicity so they stand out.  This is very apparent with any of our “distinctive” sets.  They appear to be 3D with only one stamp.  They are simply amazing.  Take a look. This is theContinue reading “Letting the stamps stand on their own.”

Managing the week.

It’s Management Monday!  Did you ever realize how much more you get done when you have planned things out and aren’t running everywhere getting things half done?  So let’s get this week off on a good foot. On Thursday we will be out at Betty’s in Yucca Valley to create 3 cards.  If you areContinue reading “Managing the week.”

Forceful rest.

It’s Sabbath Sunday!  Are you resting today?  I hope you are not having to find your front yard after all the rain we’ve had up here in the high desert. I find it funny that sometimes we overbook ourselves and Mother Nature has a way of slowing us down.  In this case it was aContinue reading “Forceful rest.”

Flash Sale

It’s Sale Saturday!  There is not much for promotions happening with Stampin’ Up!  So I figured I would help a bit. Since we had some flash floods with some nasty rain mixed with thunder and lightning last night I think it’s time for a flash sale.  If you order anything from the clearance rack (ourContinue reading “Flash Sale”

Companies give back.

It’s Friendship Friday!  This is the day to focus on giving back and paying it forward.  I know everyone shops, so today I am going to encourage you to shop smarter.  Many companies are now giving back and it often impacts right down to where you choose. For example, Amazon now has Amazon Smile.  AContinue reading “Companies give back.”

Using a shredder for cards.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended.  Did you know your paper shredder can be used for more than destruction?  It can also be used for making things.  So the next time you need shreds for that box you are sending, padding for the bottom of aContinue reading “Using a shredder for cards.”
