Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

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?

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I have to say that I have a couple of friends that without hesitating will ask what is needed before I sometimes even know. They are few and far between but so necessary.

They are the ones that post a little funny something on facebook and tag you in it. When you open it you know exactly why they tagged you and probably laugh a little more than you should.

They are the ones you call when you are exhausted and know they are too. This is when the chips and salsa are usually calling our names.

So who comes to mind? Give them a call, mail a card, or simply stop by. Don’t forget to appreciate them.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create simple cards. With them being simple I have the time to show you many of them.

From top left to top right and then the second or bottom row from left to right…

• Take scraps from when you cut mats and weave together. Attach with Mini Glue Dots.
• Use only one color to create an image. Flowering Tulips Bundle used here.
• Punch out an image and stamp the inside of the card. Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch used.
• Brilliant Wings Dies used with an Adhesive Sheet on the back. Then cut out with Layering Circles Dies.
• Mat is embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder.
• The Brilliant Rainbow Dies are cut apart to create accent pieces.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that embossing powder can be used for more than a shiny or pretty thing? Let me explain.

Embossing powders traditionally are used to highlight or accentuate a word, flower, accent piece, etc. It is used to make something stand out. But did you know more can be done with these great powders?

It can also be used as a resist. Use a clear powder and heat. After it is cool then spread color all over using the Sponge Daubers, Blending Brushes, saran wrap dipped in ink, and so much more. After you are done with the ink then take a paper towel and clean off where the embossing powder is. You will be left with a negative image or blank spot of no ink to highlight your stamped image.

And lastly, it can be used as a border. If you are floating watercolor use the embossing powder as a border or stop for the water. This will give you a water colored image with a defined edge.

Do you have other ways to use embossing powder? Please share in the comments.

Happy Crafting!
