It’s Technique Tuesday! Sometimes what would have been a boring card can really be spruced up by adding some metallic, shiny, or foil paper. This card looked rather dull until the Noble Peacock Foil Sheet was added.
If you would like to create this card then come to class this week.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest or re-charge.
And you’re probably reading the headline and shaking your head at me. Going back to the gym is not rest. You are probably wondering if I have lost my mind. Not quite. Keep reading to understand what I am trying to say.
This week I went back to the gym and started focusing on working harder. I went and didn’t just cruise through but actually worked until I felt I could give no more. So the rest in between workouts this week was very sweet.
But I also found with that rest was responsibility. In order for my muscles to grow and to rid itself of the toxins I needed to eat well and drink water.
What I would like to remind you of is that rest is so sweet after you have worked hard and to rest well.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
I am so grateful to say that many of you in this crafty family are involved with organizations and people that are committed to making a difference and an impact in our local community.
Last week we talked about birthday cards for Cody’s 18th birthday. So don’t forget to drop off a birthday card or two…or three. 🙂 I will be sending the box on September 23.
But this week we are talking about something a little bit different. One of our very own volunteers with the High Desert Pregnancy Clinic. They are holding their annual fundraiser called “Annual Night for Life” on September 28th at 6:30 pm right here at Hawk’s Landing Golf Course in Yucca Valley. Cost for the ticket is $50 and includes dinner and a guest speaker, Matt Walsh. If you plan to go you will need to get your ticket by September 16 with Brandi at 760-369-8512.
If you volunteer or have something you are involved in and want it to be featured for Friendship Friday please email me at reddoor@stampingwithjoni.com.

It’s Tutorial Thursday! It’s time to create a quick washi tape card with a floral pansy.
Take your card base and cut a mat (Feels Like Frost Specialty 6X6 Designer Series Paper used here) to 5″ X 3 3/4″. Then take the same color as your card base (Whisper White used here) and cut an additional mat to 4 1/2″ X 3 1/4″. Stick the washi tape on the white card stock in a pattern of your choice. (Tip: Make sure to leave at least 1/4″ of washi tape to tuck under the back side of the card stock.)
To see how the flower was done and the card was completed please go to the video at https://youtu.be/RmTjYuzCw-c.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today we are using the bone folder to straighten things out instead of create greater creases. The bone folder can get the kinks out of ribbon or twine easily for you.
Simply hold the ribbon or twine against the edge of the bone folder much like you would a pair of scissors when curling a curling ribbon for a package.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! When all else fails and you need a super quick card use washi tape. Some quick borders and a flower accent and you have a card. To see this being created please join me on Wednesday evening at 7 pm for my Live.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week.
I am closed today for the holiday. I am taking some time for family and to get ahead a bit. So no Open Time today.
If you would like to order on Betty’s class please contact me before Wednesday evening. This will be the first order from the Holiday Catalog. If you prefer to order online please use host code T979KUXH.
The first 12 crafters to order on Wednesday from me will get to pick their own Christmas tree. I will have 12 trees punched out that are all different colors. Each tree will have a different promotion or bonus on it. To qualify to pick your tree your order must be more than $50.
Save the date for Card Class on September 10, 12, or 14.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest and re-charge.
I am amazed at how many different ways there are to rest. Some need to have a fun activity to do, some nap, watch a movie…the possibilities are endless.
For today my rest will be at the shopping mall. This is not my version but when school starts and a few things are needed it is down the hill we go.
What are you doing today on this long weekend to re-charge?
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
P.S. Please remember that I am closed tomorrow for the holiday.
