Tags can be cards.

Sometimes a tag can make an entire card.  Lots of Labels is used here to create this project.  Here’s how…

  1.  Cut 3 green dies.
  2. Cut 1 white one.
  3. Cut 1 patterned paper one.  Petal Palette is used in the sample.

This is the back.  To finish glue the patterned piece and a center accent.  The Painted Harvest is used here.  You can also add words.

Are you feeling the love?

This is not my normal post for a Wednesday, but it’s Valentine’s Day.  Instead of a product being wacky today, I am.  I am sending out these two cards wherever you tell me to.  I am sure someone needs a valentine that won’t get one.

The inside of the card will read “(Name of who responds) had you on their heart and wants you to know that you are loved.  Happy Valentine’s Day! Sincerely, Joni (signed for whomever)”.

Do you have someone that needs some happy mail?  Tell me by 3:00 pm today and I will get it out in the mail for you today.  Here’s to happy mail.  Happy Valentine’s Day!

Black on black.

I know most of us think in color.  But what about the same color?  What about black on black?  Try adding texture instead of tons of color or accents.  In this case clear embossing powder was added to increase texture.  What you get is a simple and elegant card.

If you try this technique please post in a comment, on facebook, or email me photos.

Are you ready for the week?

Are you ready for the week to begin?  Me either.  So I guess both of us better start running before we get run over.  Here are this week’s events…

On Tuesday evening from 6-8 come out to shop for Valentine’s Day.  This is a multi-vendor event.  There will be clothing, lipstick, and cards so you can get ready for your date night.  If you want like more details please contact me quickly.

On the 24th Serina is hosting the Perennial Birthday Kit Class.

Take time to breathe.

Today’s the day (at least for me) that I sit in my pajamas, enjoy my tea (no coffee here), and just breathe.  Do you take time to breathe?  How do you re-charge?  It feels good to just sit for a bit.

Here’s to enjoying the moment.

Radio-a-thon, sales, promotions, and more!

Well, today is stacking up to be pretty full.  There are plenty of promotions to take advantage of and a little to give back to.  Shall we get started?

The Radio-a-thon on Z107.7 is running today from 12-5 pm.  If you donate $10 or more please contact me.  I have a prize for you for giving back to our kids.  If you can’t call in but still want to donate I will get them to the right place and you will still get a prize.

The Fast Fuse Promotion might be sold out but I did purchase a few extra sets.  If you still want one please contact me directly.

The total out the door is $11.85 unless you need it shipped elsewhere.  Please let me know if you are interested.

If that’s not enough I also have my personal promotion for the snail adhesive running through Monday night.

This is not a corporate promotion so you will need to contact me to order.

Sale-A-Bration is almost half way!  If you would like a copy of the brochure for the second release please let me know.

To order online please use host code ERAKCZSR to help Sandy.  If you want to take advantage of these promotions all orders will go to Sandy unless you tell me differently.

Thank you for being part of this fun, and a little crazy, group.

Giving back by filling up.

Do you feel like everyone is asking for something?  Fundraiser for this, help me with that, and it keeps going.  Do you ever want to say ENOUGH and run away?  What about me?  When do I get a turn?

That’s when you need to take a second, break the routine, and re-charge.  You have to put some in for you and others to take out.

So, instead of focusing on giving back maybe today is the day we need to re-charge.  Fill up your own tank so you have more to give later.

Happy Crafting!

Basket weaving made easy.

This card is so easy when you have a video and pictures to follow.  The background paper is from the second release of Sale-A-Bration as well as the stamp sets.  Please let me know how many copies of the new second release brochure you would like in the comments.

Dimensionals are not just to elevate.

Dimensionals can be used for so many things.  So today I am hoping to get you thinking outside the box a bit.  Listed below are several different ways to use dimensionals (mini or regular size).

  1.  To pop up an accent piece on a card or project.
  2.  To level a card if there is a portion that is sunk in.
  3.  To have a stop in a slide card.
  4.  To have a rail in a slide card.
  5.  To have a barrier for the filler in a shaker card.
  6.  To attach knick-knacks to a shelf.
  7.  To put on the bottom side of a coaster when the cork or felt feet fall off.
  8.  To stop on a door on a doll house.

These are just a few.  Please comment if you have another use for our beloved dimensionals.

Happy Crafting!

Mirror image.

I know we’ve talked about this before but I love this new technique that I have discovered.  It’s how to make a mirror image with the silicone mats.  Take whatever you are stamping and stamp on the mat instead of your cardstock.  Then flip on to your cardstock and rub to transfer.  You will get the mirror image.  This is a great way to extend your stamps.
