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

How many times have you bought a gift card for someone? How many times have you bought the before mentioned gift card without a thought? Did you know that by purchasing a $25 Starbucks gift card with this link, https://www.starbucks.com/gift/category/military-month, you can give back $5 to Blue Star Families and Operation Gratitude. The $5 will be split evenly between the two organizations. So if you are thinking of treating someone to a coffee (or two) then please consider doing so by giving back.

Here’s the link to the post for this article, https://www.facebook.com/groups/OGInAction/permalink/776173656367686. This link has the link for the entire press release as well as the purchasing link.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today instead of a tag being the accent or side note it is going to be the focal point.

I cut two Tailored Tags from the new dies, but inked them before. I then tied some gold Simply Elegant Trim between the two to “tie” it all together.

Watch tonight at 7 pm on the Live to see how this is done.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you something completely different. I’m not sure you have seen this before. I want to show you how to color with your dies. Yes, your dies.

First, you get a die that you want to be outlined in a color. Then you dip it in a color of your choice. Be very careful to just set it down as to not cut the ink pad. Here’s the trick…to not get your fingers full of ink while pulling it up. You can use the putty side of the Take Your Pick Tool and a tweezers to help with this. Then place on your card stock making sure to not slide the inked die around. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine as usual. You will have a perfectly colored outline afterwards.

To clean everything simply wipe with a rag and some of the Stampin’ Mist cleaner, a baby wipe, or rinse under cold water at the sink.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to focus on resting to get recharged for the upcoming week.

Did you know that it is important to take a rest or break from social media? I know, this is kind of ironic since you are reading this on social media. Put that aside and consider why it is important to take regular breaks from social media. Here are some reasons.

• To spend time with those that are close to you.
• To pursue your dreams and goals.
• For privacy.

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

Did you know that there is actually a Pay It Forward Day on April 28? Now don’t be bummed. You only missed the recognized day. Every day is a pay it forward day.

So as I was searching for something to write about it for today’s blog post I started googling pay it forward. And I stumbled across Pay It Forward Day on April 28. There is also an instagram account (@payitforwardday) and website (https://globalpayitforwardday.com/). It started in Australia but has spread to over 85 countries, the USA being one of them. Did you know that?

This is not a non-profit or organization for a specific group of people. It is simply a site encouraging everyone to stand for kindness. If you want to read more about this simply follow the link to the website above. And, I have to say, if you need a little encouragement that the world is not gone wrong keep this page bookmarked. There are lots of great photos and ideas on how others are helping. It might just encourage you to continue to pay it forward.

Happy Crafting!
