Time to Show Off

It’s Thumbtack Thursday! Today is the day that you share your favorite card or project you have created. Something you have made that you deem worthy of putting up on the board. So share with everyone what you are putting the proverbial thumbtack in to show.

Happy Crafting!

When Filigree Becomes Facial Hair

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!

Do you remember me saying to look at your stamps right side up, sideways, and upside down? Well today I did just that.

I took the Circle Sayings Photopolymer Stamp Set and said what could be something else. Well, I found an accent piece that is supposed to finish a filigree or maybe help to brighten a light with some rays. But instead I see facial hair.

But first the stamp set.

The stamp in question is second from the left and the third one down. It’s almost right in the center.

And this is what I saw.

Blending with a Soft Touch

It’s Technique Tuesday!

Did you see last Tuesday’s technique with videos on how to create and clean the Small Blending Brushes? If not, then please go to https://stampingwithjoni.wordpress.com/2023/06/06/how-to-use-the-small-blending-brushes/.

But this is a reminder to allow the brush’s handle to do the work. Be gentle so you get a soft background and not one with smudges, etc.

Happy Crafting!

Rest Isn’t Just for Your Body

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but rest is more than just for your body. It is also for your soul.

So if you are not at peace from within then true rest will be very difficult to come by. I know when I was going through some tumultuous times that no matter how much I slept I was still tired. And once that season had passed I was able to truly rest.

What are you battling that is not allowing you to rest?

Happy Crafting!

Look Within

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

Recently I was scrolling through posts on a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator facebook group and saw one about demonstrators and natural disasters. I was not aware that there was a group that had already been formed for demonstrators to help other demonstrators that had been affected by a natural disaster. So, yes, I joined. I have yet to help but I am looking forward to it.

I say this because I would encourage you to ask your company if they have a philanthropic side, group, organization, etc. Sometimes the ones you give your time and effort to will also help those in need. It’s worth an ask.

Happy Crafting!
