It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Have you noticed that if you google rest, relax, or recharge almost all of the images are of a beach scene? If it’s not a beach scene it’s someone napping in a hammock, their feet are up, doing yoga, or reading a book. The one thing in common that is displayed is calm. It looks something like this usually.
In order to fully relax you need to be calm or at peace. It’s very difficult to recharge if you are still spinning and using up your battery. And to be at peace you need to rest. I found some tips on how to relax if you are stressed that were useful.
I don’t know about you but many of these guidelines I do not follow. I would probably sleep better if I did. Which of these tips are you breaking? Which will you implement?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sale Saturday!
Just a reminder that the Last Chance List will go live on March 29. But before this, please pay attention as some items are on low inventory, such as many of the In Colors that are going out, and will be gone forever. This may occur even before the Last Chance List is out.
To read about the details for the Club Order that requires no commitment please go to https://stampingwithjoni.com/cluborderbonus/.
I offer concierge services for your orders. Don’t get frustrated with technology. Just contact me to order.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Have you ever listened to someone’s success story? They go on about how they grew up, big challenges they’ve had, and so forth. But, often, the moment that changed things around is often little. The gentleman smiled at me. My mentor said I was a powerhouse. My teacher sent a note. He or she stopped to talk to me and listened.
The little things matter. The moments matter. What could be seen as insignificant to you might be monumental to someone else.
I say this so when you are nudged by that still, small voice please act on it. That little gesture just might be the nudge someone else needs.
Happy Crafting!

These are the cards I want to show you.
For the purple and green cards here is the template for cutting the mats.
Then for the single card up front please remember to cut your card base in half at 2 3/4″. Here are the measurements to create the decorative pieces.
For how to put it together please reference the video. (The link is below.)

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today I want to talk about kits instead of one specific product. A kit can be used when you are feeling overwhelmed to easily get something checked off of your list. Do not be afraid to create with a kit. They, for me, usually have just enough creativity to get me back moving when I feel overwhelmed.
Think of our kits as a creative boost or jump start. When your creative battery is dead the kits help to get you moving creatively once again.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is more of a tip than a technique.
When you are stamping a bunch stamp off. Let me explain. You are stamping a bunch which means you are cleaning a bunch. To keep that Stampin’ Scrub as clean as can be for as long as can be stamp off.
Ink your stamp. Then stamp your card stock. Now instead of going directly to clean your stamp, stamp off. Take your Grid Paper and stamp off until there is minimal ink. Now go and clean your stamp with the Stampin’ Scrub and Stampin’ Mist. This will help you to not have as much ink on your scrubber pad which means you can create longer without having to rinse your pad.
When it is time to clean your pad just rinse in warm water and then let dry. For a deep clean take a drop of Dawn dish soap on both sides and scrub with an old (but clean) toothbrush. Wash until no ink or cleaner is left. Then let air dry.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
