How to Get All of the Glue

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is more of a tip than a technique.

Have you ever been working on a huge project and your glue starts to run out? Well, instead of fighting the bottle, just cut it in half. Use a paint brush, dauber, toothpick, q-tip, or any other tool to get that glue applied.

Happy Crafting!

How to Value Time

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

I was scrolling through as many of us do and came across this great quote.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you won’t do anything with it.

M. Scott Peck

This has been so true for me. Does this ring true for you as well?

Happy Crafting!

Warm Up America

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

I just recently came across an organization called Warm Up America. And here is their mission statement.

We are a national nonprofit that since 1991 has provided hand knitted and crocheted blankets, clothing and accessories made by volunteers across the country and donated to people in need.

I don’t think much else needs to be said. So if you would like to learn more or to get involved please go to https://warmupamerica.org/.

Happy Crafting!

Post Your Project

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!

A Popper Front and Center

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

Recently I created a bunch of baby cards using the Cracker & Treat Box Dies to create a front for an accent. So I trimmed the popper piece to become the main piece on my card.

You can’t see the score marks in the picture but they definitely create some extra separation for the letters.

When you look at the products you do have make sure to look at them in pieces too. Cut them apart, turn them upside down, etc.

Happy Crafting!

Using a Mask to Color

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to talk to you about masking.

When you want to color in a portion of a stamp but you don’t want to use a marker, then you mask. You take a scrap piece of card stock and stamp the image again. Cut out the part you want exposed and then stamp through the image. After you are done you might want to save the mask by placing it in your case along with the set.

When using this technique please post your photo of your finished project on my page at https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

Rest as an Investment

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

How many of us are told to rest when life gets overwhelming? When you’re not feeling well? But how many of you treat rest instead of as a last resort rather as a precious commodity? I have learned that one must block off time to have some fun.

Instead of treating rest like a punishment, instead treat it as a reward. It’s a precious resource that should be invested in.

I hope this message finds you in good health and fully rested.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
