Any stamp can become a background. It doesn’t matter how big or how small. Today’s background is created by the stamp set Crafting Forever. For the finished card please come back on Thursday for the tutorial.
Tip: Make sure if you are coloring to stamp with memento ink for the stampin’ blends or in archival ink for the watercolor pencils, aqua painters, or stampin’ write markers.
Happy Crafting!

So today instead of resting I am breaking out of the routine. I am using some hydrating lotion to keep my skin from peeling after yesterday’s Woof Walk. I didn’t get burned but I’m not used to the wind any more. And I am doing some shopping. This crafty girl needs a new pair of wedges, sandals, or flip flops. The family and I are enjoying a great lunch and are going hunting for this season’s sandals. Wish me luck.
What are you doing today to get out of the normal routine?
Happy Crafting!

It’s not about the day especially, but it is about making a memory. It’s about celebrating with that person and making them feel like they matter. That’s why we do what we do. As I sit here with a bucket of cards ready to go out I hope they matter because you do.
This week I was reminded how it feels to receive some happy mail. It’s a great reminder of why we do what we do when it comes back. Here’s a glance at the happy mail from this week.
I will continue to post until I am back to grocery store ads and bills. Thank you for filling me so I can continue with what I do.
Now go mail a card or share a smile.
Happy Crafting!

Do you have a bunch of unfinished projects laying around? Finish them! Do you know how good it feels to actually finish? I often don’t either, but I finished my card last night. It made me want to finish more projects. So here is the video tutorial on this card.
Happy Crafting!

Pour the heat on. You heard me. You need some heat to get out of the mess you’re in. Take your heat gun and from the back unstick your crooked mat, accent, whatever. It works. Heat for about 20 seconds and then gently pull your piece off. If it doesn’t come off easily with a few gooey strings then you need more heat. Add about 10 seconds per try and then peel again. You will be left with a few sticky spots but no tears.
Here’s to fixing those creative “mistakes”.
Happy Crafting!

Stamp with a light outline color if you want just your coloring to show.

Sometimes I rest and other days I catch up. Today I catch up. I am resting by getting back organized and ready to conquer the week. Some days you just have to clean things out and get back ready to running again. How are you preparing for today and this week?
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
