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

I want to encourage you today to help someone else out. It could be huge like helping someone move. Or it could be as simple as sharing a smile. Regardless I want you to focus on giving to someone else whether you know them or not.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!

Today is not so much the product being used differently but its application. I recently bought some stickers from the local dollar store but they were white. They didn’t have a lot of zing to them. So I needed to add something. But what. I tried stamping but then they were too busy. The sticker itself was also slick. So I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends and they worked perfectly. I just had to give them a few seconds to dry.

What do you think?

What will you try to color that is out of the normal?

Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is not so much about technique but making sure your products are current to get the best results.

Did you know the formula for the ink changed a few years ago? When the ink pads changed from the hard linen to a foam pad the formula for the ink changed also. There is now an anti-foaming agent in the ink so you don’t get the air bubbles like you used to. You can put the new ink refills in the old style pads with no problems. But please don’t put the old formula of ink on the new pads. It won’t work well.

Here is how you tell if your ink refill is current with the new formula. Look on the side of the bottle. The top number should start with 17XXX if it is new. If the number is less than 17XXX then it is of the old formula.

Let me know if you need to re-order any of the refills.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.

Do you find it hard sometimes to concentrate? When I have found this to be true it’s usually because I am wrestling with something. It might be a big decision or something that has unsettled me. Whatever it is, until I make a decision to take action or let it go it will keep me up at night.

What are you struggling with today? If you can’t make a decision then at least take some action steps on how to start the process so you don’t feel helpless.

Happy Crafting!

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

As my kid was growing up I would say something to her on a near daily basis. “You are special just like everyone else.” Yes you are unique but you need to realize that everyone else is too. While your perspective is yours please realize that everyone has one.

I say this to remind her to understand where people are coming from. I also say this to remind her not to compare herself to others since there really is no comparison.

I am not sure why I am writing this, but I am assuming that someone needs to hear this. Be yourself. No one else is better qualified at being you.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to accent with vellum easily and without the adhesive showing through.

So let’s run through the supplies and some instructions, shall we?

• Take a piece of Thick White Card Stock and with a Paper Trimmer cut to 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″. On the 8 1/2″ side score at 4 1/4″.
• Cut the All Together 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper with the Paper Trimmer to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Attach with Stampin’ Seal.
• Cut the All Together 6″ X 6″ Designer Series Paper with the Paper Trimmer to 4 1/2″ X 3 1/4″. Color with the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends Collection. Let dry for a minute or two, depending on how heavy you colored. Then attach with Stampin’ Seal.
• Take coordinating die from Here for You Dies and cut with Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Before cutting the Vellum Card Stock make sure to attach the Adhesive Sheet to the back. After die cutting then simply peel off the back like a sticker and attach.
