It’s Tutorial Thursday and I want to show you how to “quilt”! Quilt is in quotes because it is a very loose translation of the original term of quilting. I will not be measuring but I will be trimming and creating a pattern similar to that of a quilt.
For this card you will need a center, accent, or focal point. After the focal point you will need strips cut any width you like. I would not recommend going smaller or more narrow than 1/2″ since they get difficult to work with. For the sample here the strips are cut to 3/4″. You will also need adhesive (Stampin’ Seal) and a card base. There is no ink, embossing, or stamping to create this project.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Did you know that besides burnishing score lines the Bone Folder has many uses? It can curl flowers, flatten items, create gaps for 3D projects, and more. My favorite lately is an envelope stretcher.
You know how you create a card and you think there might be a couple too many layers to it. Well, then stretch your envelope. Take your Bone Folder and slide into an envelope. Then move slowly and twist a little to create a bit of a gap in your envelope. This will allow that unwieldy card to slide right in.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is not so much of a technique but a gentle reminder.
It does not matter how much you learn if you don’t create. With practice you get dexterity both with your fingers and your tools. So go practice! Go create!
Here’s some good news for you! If you do not live in the Morongo Basin and you requested a catalog or ordered from me since December 1 it is in the mail TODAY! I am ahead by a day or two. 🙂 So instead of them going out by Wednesday you just might receive it by then.

Here’s what this means…extra gifts during the Open House, first call for BOGO, priority shopping for the Rubber Rummage Sale, and more!
So how do you become a VIP? Glad you asked.
Host a class. Any of my classes except craft class are up for a host. So if you see something you like or want something extra just tell me. The location is up to you, projects are up to you, and the food too! All that is required is that you invite and that two crafters actually attend.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I want to say thank you to everyone that came out yesterday. And if you haven’t checked the post from yesterday please do. I have two tickets that haven’t been claimed.
But, as I was saying, thank you for coming out yesterday. I enjoyed every minute of it. But I have to admit that a little after 3:00 I crashed. That bed was calling my name and I took a nap. And after that nap I ordered a pizza and ate my slices off a paper plate. No dishes and rest makes for a heavenly evening.
And today I will finish the clean up.
I say this to ask you how do you rest? Do you put your feet up or do you go for a hike, to watch a movie, take a drive, what allows you to rest?
Thank you for coming out to the Open House today! For those of you that came you were issued a ticket to have a chance to win your choice of Designer Series Paper.
