It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Have you ever had one piece from a punch or die set that is too small or just doesn’t seem to fit? Then use it to create a background. Make sure to go off the page and trim afterwards so it looks like they belong.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you a quick and easy technique called spotlighting.
Grab a die, stencil, or punched out piece of scrap card stock and place it on your card front after stamping an image (basic gray used). Then color only inside the stencil (with gray watercolor pencil and then blender pen). This is called spotlighting.
This reminds me of those photos that are all black and white with only one spot of color. I remember there was a girl holding a rose and only the rose was in color.
Give this technique a try and post to my page, http://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week!
Stamp of the Week starts today! You will get an invitation. Let me know if you would like to participate. Please forward to a friend!
At this point I am hesitant to schedule anything as you could probably guess. Still on the calendar to be re-scheduled is the Rubber Rummage Sale. And once everything lifts then I will fill in the calendar and get things rolling again.
If you would like to order online please use host code CWN6WTHK. This will help me to get some goodies for the Open House. Please use my website when ordering, http://jonidaniel.stampinup.net. If you prefer to order in person please contact me.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Today is the day to rest and recharge. It’s a special day. It is a day of renewal. It’s Easter!
The lead up to Easter is the first day of spring, bunnies, and chocolate. But Easter Sunday is left for us to declare that He is Risen!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
I want to remind you to stay connected. I know, but you have to stay home. There are many ways to stay connected. A handmade card works wonders. But you know what else does? A phone call! It’s amazing how your spirits can be lifted by talking to someone.
So I will remind you that you often get more back when giving to someone. Plan on giving time to someone. If you don’t then your day just seems to slip away. Pick up the phone and reach out to someone.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
I have to give credit to Elissa Powell for this photo. When I saw it I gave a giggle because I have done similar things. Imagine, if you will, that you are finally comfortable in your chair. Everything is spread out in a nice circle within arm’s reach. You have nice little piles behind, next to, and in front of yourself. And then you remember, you have one more thing to stamp. The blocks are all used and cleaning the stamps just seems to be out of the question. So you look around to find anything plastic and flat that looks remotely like a block. The only thing nearby is your phone charger.
And it works. When the piles are deep grab anything plastic and flat to stamp with. The only problem is that you cannot see through a charger so placement can be a little rough.
Here’s to muddling through the layers.

It’s Technique Tuesday! Have you ever purchased a product and it was less than impressive?
I recently had that with the new embossing folder from the Ornate Garden Suite. I had run it through on a few solid colored pieces of card stock and it just wasn’t hitting me. Then I decided to run it with our vanilla card stock. I was even less impressed. But then I thought about getting out my sponge dauber and seeing what some color would do.
What a change. Now I just finished the card for this and also embossed the flap of the envelope. I, of course, completed the flap with some much needed color. For this project the colors used were Old Olive and Pretty Peacock that just happen to coordinate with the ribbon.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week.
I wish I could say there is more happening but there is not. So here is the little bit that is.
Thank you to all that signed up for the Stamp of the Week online class. Emails will be going out today and I will be watching when product ships and let you know.
The next online class will be happening next Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th. It will be a perpetual calendar with card organizer, cards, and envelopes.
I will be announcing this afternoon about an Easter basket for you to build with your kids or yourself. Cost will be $10 shipped. So stay tuned.
That’s about all for now.
Happy Crafting!
