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.
I have often felt that my faith has been restored after I have given back. It’s that personal connection to another human being. It’s knowing you had a direct impact on someone else’s life for the better. It could be with my time, money, or simply a card sent in the mail. Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.
As I looked up the phrase “giving back” there were many synonyms listed. Some were repaying, reimbursing, refunding, compensating, making good, and restoration to name a few. Restoration is what stuck out to me. Restoration, to me, means anything from cleaning something up to taking it apart and putting something new in its place.
As I think about this word “restoration” it reminds me that I need to take the effort to restore someone’s faith in humanity by being kind, helping, or whatever is appropriate. Sometimes restoration is a bit messy but it is always worth it.
So how will you restore someone today?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you a couple of cards with the new Eden’s Garden Collection.
For the first card the new Cotton Paper is embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder. It was attached with Mini Glue Dots ever so carefully to the new Ever Eden 12X12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Then the sentiment was stamped on Basic White Card Stock and trimmed. The ends were embossed with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and then color was sponged with the Sponge Dauber.
The next card was a combination of the Cotton Paper crumpled up, the Designer Series Paper cut in half and flipped, the Artistic Dies, and the new Garden Gems.
For a look at the stamp and dies guides, another project, all the papers, and more please see the video at https://youtu.be/KE5xYMA-E0s. When you comment before Tuesday the 2nd you will get a list of all the supplies used for the three projects.
Happy Crafting!

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!
