It’s Technique Tuesday! Today’s technique is more of a tip. When using your Heirloom Frames Dies and Embossing Folders take a sharpie to them. Take the embossing folder and run your cut card stock through it. If it is lined up perfectly then, before you move the card stock, grab a sharpie. Take the sharpie and put a little tick mark at the bottom of the card stock and maybe even along the sides. That way next time will be lined up perfectly too.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! Have you ever been involved with something and know all along you are not the right person? You’ve committed for however long and the more time passes the more you know you are not the right person. What do you do? Do you stick it out, modify the commitment, or quit?
Recently I have been battling this exact question. I tried to modify the situation by talking and meeting more with the hope that things would begin to get better. But instead of better they got worse. Sometimes you just have to know when to call it a day.
So, as I type this, I have just finished sending my resignation letter in for the Music Boosters. It is back to solely Stampin’ Up!, my family, and enjoying life again.
Have you ever had to hit reset on a commitment you made?
Happy Crafting!

P.S. I will answer emails and texts today as I will be out of the office for my daughter’s competition today. I will be back on Monday for Open Time!
It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward. Some days you need to go back to bed or have a mimosa with breakfast. There are days where you need to push through and others where you call off and go get your toenails polished.
As for me, I am taking care of some loose ends and getting back on track with my creative side. There are some great new things I have planned for us to experience together. Just you wait.
So, if your boss asks, I said it’s okay to go get a pedicure. (Just kidding. I’m not your boss.) But do remember to take care of yourself.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today we are creating Christmas cards with the Peacock Foils and the Perfectly Plaid paper with the Pine Tree Punch. They are super easy to create and look how fast they come together.
To watch the video and learn how to create these cards please go to https://youtu.be/V88OOeL5m-M.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know dimensionals can be used for more than pop-ups to create texture or depth? Did you know they can also help something to stop?
For example, when creating an easel card I have often used a dimensional to pop up the sentiment on the bottom. This allows enough room or depth for the hinge point to stop or stand up. When creating a pull tab card the dimensionals can create a stop or rail so the card stock doesn’t slide through.
When using your product think of what else it can do.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to ask you have you ever really liked a certain color or pattern of paper? You want to use it all the time but it often gives your card or project all the same look. Nothing seems to stand out. Well, then offset it.
Take your background and your accent piece that are from the same collection of paper. Then punch a neutral background accent so there is something to set certain parts of the card out.
See how the green makes the patterned paper pop out much more?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and recharge. For many of you rest is needed because homecoming was last night for many of the local kids. There is something that changes when you have to be out until 11 or so instead of at home and comfy.
For me rest will come in the form of stories. I am taking some time to visit my Grama today and listen to her stories. I love hearing about the way things were. The way she hustled to help get my Grampa’s business off the ground, remodel the house, or raise her kids. It’s the same as today but it seems so much sweeter when it’s in the past.
Take a minute and enjoy those precious around you.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
