Using a window sheet to mask.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today we are going to use a window sheet to mask the ink for a portion of the card.

This is an ombre card by stamping multiple times and not re-inking. Use a window sheet to cover where you don’t want to ink and then stamp right over. You can see where everything is positioned and the window sheet is thin enough that you don’t get much of a gap when stamping.

Happy Crafting!

Using Wink of Stella as a painter.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are learning how to add some glitter to your ink without adding two layers.

Stamp your accent and then put it aside. Grab an extra clear block and dip in your chosen ink. Then drip just a little of the Wink of Stella on the block also. Stir as desired and use the brush of the Wink of Stella to paint the accent. When done rinse the block. If the Wink of Stella stains the block then use a magic eraser to get rid of the residue.

Here’s a sample of an accent finished.

Happy Crafting!

Don’t go over the full charge.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and recharge for the week.

Do you ever feel like you have been challenged to focus on yourself so much that you feel over saturated or full? Do you feel antsy to get back out there? I do sometimes. So I will tell you what I will tell myself…get out there and go for it!

We are much like a battery in the sense that we have to be careful to not stay plugged in after we reach 100%. There is balance in everything.

Happy Crafting!

Believe it and your halfway there.

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

Do you have that one friend that will tell you the hard stuff? Do you have that one friend that will help you to believe in yourself even when you don’t? Who’s coming to mind? Is it more than one person?

Whoever that is make sure they know that they are important, needed, and loved by you. Without a good friend sometimes it just seems that life is not bearable. It’s amazing what a cup of tea or wine will do with a couple of hours and a good laugh.

Happy Crafting!

Grouping stamps.

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

Have you ever had a bunch of small stamps that you didn’t know what to do with? Well, group them.

Chalk marker to the rescue.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Have you ever used the Chalk Marker to rescue your project? For today’s project I stamped with Early Espresso Ink and then did an overlay in white with the Chalk Marker. Allow it to dry for about 30 seconds and you are ready to go.

How have you fixed your mistakes? What is your go to fix?

Happy Crafting!
