Running Down Before Recharging

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

Since I have been regularly exercising I have realized a change. I have more energy during the day but once it’s gone I am really craving going to bed. In the past, before I moved as much, I would crave sweets or chips instead of rest. It’s amazing to me how your body changes after mixing up just a few routines.

I am also reminded of this in simple instructions for electronics. Make sure to not constantly charge. Please ensure that the unit is below 50% before plugging in. And many other similar recommendations.

I guess the same can be said for us too. Make sure to run down your battery before resting. The rest is so much sweeter, deeper, and more beneficial when my battery has been run down.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

Triple Tier Slider Card

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create these three cards. Enjoy!

Here are the measurements for all of these. Please reference the video for how to put them together.

Triple Tier Slider Card

  • Cut your card base (Melon Mambo) with the Paper Trimmer to 4 1/2″ X 11 5/8″. On the 11 5/8″ side score at 3 7/8″. Tuck the other side just before the score line. Line up the right hand score line at 1″. Cut from 1/2″ down to 3″. Move the right edge over to the 1″ mark on the right side of the cutter and cut again.
  • Cut the second tier of Melon Mambo with the Paper Trimmer to 3 1/8″ X 10 1/4″. On the 10 1/4″ side score at 3 3/8″. Tuck the other side just before the score line. Line up the right hand score line at 1″. Cut from 1/4″ down to 2 1/2″. Move the right edge over to the 1″ mark on the right side of the cutter and cut again.
  • Cut the third tier of Melon Mambo Card Stock to a 3″ square.
  • The outer mats on all the tiers are a coordinating solid color of card stock.
    • Large tier is 3 3/4″ X 4 3/8″.
    • Medium or second tier is 2 1/4″ X 3 1/4″.
    • Small tier is 2 1/4″ X 2 7/8.
  • The inner mats on all the tiers are Basic White Card Stock or for the giraffe card it is Like an Animal 12 X 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper.
    • Medium tier is 2 1/8″ X 3 1/8″.
    • Small tier is 2 1/8″ X 2 3/4″.
  • The Designer Series Paper for the bottom or large tier is 3 5/8″ X 4 1/4″. Also cut two strips from the same paper or scrap that measure 1/2″ X 3 1/4″. If you use scraps make sure it is the same thickness of the Designer Series Paper. Regular weight card stock does not work well for these strips.

For how to put it together please reference the video. (The link is below.)

Coloring Embellishments

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

Did you know that the Stampin’ Blends can color card stock, glass, cork, wood, and more? They can also color embellishments like the Basic Pearls or Rhinestones. But did you know they can also color on plastic? Here is an example with the Enamel Sticker Icons.

When you use this tip please post a photo of your finished project on my page, https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

Plates Not Fitting?

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

Have you ever had a hard time getting your plates and platforms to fun through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (especially the Mini Machine)? Then stagger your plates to form that of an “E”. By staggering them it is easier for the plates to run through. Just make sure that even though the plates are staggered that the die and card stock is still fully on all plates.

Please let me know if this tip helps you in the comments.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂

Pushing Through

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

As some of you may know I started running again at the end of December. And I have to say those times of rest are now so cherished. It’s amazing to me how differently I view rest now. It used to be a time or day to break up the routine. While that is still true, I look forward to a day of not moving quite so much after pounding the pavement.

But I also have to say that everything seems to be more important when you are pushing yourself. The types of food I crave have changed from junk food to burgers, steaks, anything with protein.

And I have also realized that timing is important too. I workout first thing in the morning usually. When I return I clean up and start my day. With this start I get a cup of tea but not always breakfast. The days I don’t eat right away I am in a mental fog for much of the day.

It is so important to not only push your limits, but to also fuel appropriately. By having balance you can push yourself past your known limits to accomplish great things.

I say this to remind you to keep your cup full so you can continue to give. If there is nothing inside then giving is so difficult. Here’s to taking care of ourselves so we can take care each other too.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
