It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you how to create something 3D from something 2D.
For this technique you will need the Harvest Hellos Cling Stamp Set and the Apple Builder Punch. I stamped six pumpkins with Pumpkin Pie Ink and the coordinating stamp. I then used the Apple Builder Punch, folded them in half, and attached with Stampin’ Seal.
I hope you enjoy.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to focus on getting rest and recharging.
The day is filled with work, supervising college lessons if needed, tech support, cooking, cleaning, and more. I have found that I am able to rest (and in turn recharge) by simply finishing the day before. When I procrastinate and don’t productively finish my day I am not able to sleep as well. This brings disruption to the next day and sometimes even the next.
So I would encourage you to work hard so you can rest well.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Most of the time we are focused on giving back or paying it forward outside of the “crafty” family. Well, today we have an opportunity to give to one of our very own.
Shawnie has been in the hospital for some time now and still has a long recovery to go. Would you make a card for her, pretty please?
If you don’t have her address then please just send to me with a care of for the address line.
And, there’s a second part to this. Her daughter left to go back to college last week. Usually she gets a goodie box to wish her luck for the new semester. So if you want to donate to the box please let me know. I would like to pack it with the usual junk…candy, jerky, etc. But I would also like to mail her some blank cards so she has some to mail back to Mom. So if you would like to donate a favorite snack, money for me to purchase something for you, gift card, postage stamps, or cards please contact me. I will be mailing it out by Wednesday, September 9.
Thanks again for all you do and being a part of this crafty family.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today we are using leaves to make flowers. So grab your Sunflowers Dies and let’s get started.
This is a great way to get rid of your scraps. You will need a bunch of scraps from a color family, all different colors, or all different Designer Series Papers. It’s pretty much what you want. For my sample I used four different greens…Mint Macaron, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, and Pear Pizzazz.
I used Thick Very Vanilla Card Stock for the card base, Early Espresso for the outer mat, and the Guilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for the inner mat. I do have one tip for you. Make sure to layer from top to bottom. I mean the inner layers should be on top. So as I glued I just tucked under the last layer.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today we are talking about the new Foam Adhesive Sheets. It is similar in thickness to the Dimensionals except it is a solid sheet measuring 4 1/4″ X 4 1/2″. Both sides have adhesive which makes it easy to stick to card stock, die cut, punch out, peel the backing, and stick.
So when you want a piece to not bend, stick up higher, or simply stand out more than anything else then use the Foam Adhesive Sheets. If you are curious they are on page 162 of the Annual Catalog represented as #12. If your Catalog is not within arm’s reach here is the link so you can take a look quickly, https://www.stampinup.com/products/foam-adhesive-sheets?hostcode=XUYKGUAE.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and recharge.
Sometimes when I sleep in too long I have trouble getting to sleep at night. So when that extra sleep comes I make sure to also move during the day so I can expel enough energy to need sleep.
Sometimes this looks like taking the dog for a stroll or doing a HITT workout slowly. It might mean yoga or simply stretching a bunch.
One thing is for certain that I make sure to move. Then I am not stiff from sitting too long. Also don’t do too much as to be sore and not able to sleep as well. There is a balance to everything. I would encourage you to move a little to get those jitters out.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
