Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

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

You know how to use an embossing folder. But did you know there are so many other things you can do with that folder. You can stamp an image on the folder and run it to have an embossed stamped image. You can drop ink, paint, spritz, gold leaf, etc.

But did you think to only use just a small part of it? For today’s project I just barely touched the ends of a banner for a sentiment with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. Then after I grabbed a Sponge Dauber to put just a touch of color.

For a better view and to see the entire card please join me tonight on my Facebook Live on https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni at 7 pm.

If you don’t have Facebook then please subscribe or join me on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTZYaEvaoc_I5-cQKvZuN5Q) to see this and many other projects with the new Eden’s Garden Collection.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you up close how to stamp a tree with multiple colors.

First you will need the Beauty of Friendship Photpolymer Stamp Set. (Make sure your two tree tops are different. I had a defective set where they were both the same.) Then you will need three colors…one for the trunk and two for the changing autumn leaves. For the sample Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze Inks were used.

When layering inks give the image about 30 seconds to try before stamping the next one. This will ensure that the colors layer and not mix.

This image is zoomed in so you can see the layers.

Happy Crafting!

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

I love the order of this list. You have to relax first, then rest, and then you can rejuvenate. If you get the order wrong and try to rest but are still uptight it just won’t work.

So how do we do these things?

To relax means to break out of your routine. For me I read a book, watch a movie, or cook. Then I can rest which usually means to take a nap or sleep in. And, finally, I can feel rejuvenated.

What do you do to relax, rest, and rejuvenate?

Happy Crafting!

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

My mom taught me to be kind especially to the ones that are not. “It is easy to be kind to those that already are. The ones that need it often are the least deserved.”

Do you struggle with this? Being kind to those that are mean to you? I can empathize with you.

While it doesn’t make it any easier it still needs to be done. If I am nice to someone having a bad day I have to remind myself that maybe I am the one that will turn their day around.

I looked up the history of the “pay it forward” clause and this is the earliest quote I found concerning just this.

“Apparently, the phrase goes back to 1916 when Lily Hardy Hammond wrote, “You don’t pay love back; you pay it forward ,” meaning that you should repay kindness shown to you to people other than the original benefactor.”

Lily Hardy Hammond was an author that touched on subjects that were generally not talked about. Her most popular authored piece is called “In the Garden of Delight”.

So while you are encouraging a difficult person pick up a copy of her book.

It’s Tutorial Thursday!

All right…I teased you yesterday on this concept and showed you by video how to do it last night. So now I want to share this with you if you didn’t make the Live on Facebook. I made a square template to make a circular wreath. Yes…really. Here’s the card.

If you would like to see how this is done please watch the video at https://youtu.be/dPU91z1dd9g. Watch until the end to get how to create the template too! If you comment before Tuesday the 26th I will email you the instructions as well.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! As I was working on customer thank you cards I came across a creative block. I have done so many different cards with the Cutest Halloween Bundle. Am I out of ideas for this particular set? Nope, not yet.

I initially placed the background papers on and the punched out words. Well, that wasn’t enough. What to do? Add gems…no. Tear it apart and start over…no. Turn it sideways…no. Then what? Add googly eyes, of course. I took the sentiment and decided to run with it.

Just remember that corny is sometimes the answer.

If you create something with some sass please post it to my page, https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.
