It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you how to no line color with the Stampin’ Blends.
I stamped the image of the cacti and the chili in Crushed Curry Ink. This ink color was light enough such that the coloring really stands out.
To learn more about this technique please tune in Wednesday evening at 7 pm at https://youtu.be/7-g4oHynJSk. To be notified when I go live please go to the link now and press notify me.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
I found this article and really loved what it said. It encourages people to invest in rest and how important it is to include it in your routine. And this article goes on to explain how a rest day is needed, not wanted, but needed. Physically it allows your muscles to repair themselves and to grow after being worked.
A rest day can be spent on the couch or it can contain light activity. But this light activity can not cause sore muscles. If it does then it is not light enough.
Rest can be summed up with this acronym.
R — Repair
E — Eat
S — Sleep
T — Time

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Have you heard about paying it forward in a Starbucks line? Now, I have a question. Instead of paying for someone’s drink maybe take that $5 and pay off a student’s lunch account. And if that doesn’t work then when an office supply store has school supplies on sale buy $5 worth of pencils, tissues, or hand sanitizer and donate it to your favorite teacher for their classroom.
I am not saying paying for someone’s drink is wrong. But what I am saying is your impact can be much greater if we all took a minute to think of lasting impact on how we do things.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to create an Extended Explosion Album.
For this album you will need at least two different coordinating patterns of Designer Series Paper, two coordinating solid colors of card stock, and Basic White Card Stock.
Here is the visual diagram on how to cut the card base.
The mats all need to be cut to 3 1/2″. For the ones that are triangles take the square and cut in half diagonally to create the mats.
If you want to print photos they will need to be 3″ square or at most 3 1/4″. If you don’t want photos then cut inner mats at 3″ square and decorate.
To order the DIY Kit please go to https://stampingwithjoni.wordpress.com/diykits/ by Sunday at midnight.
To see the video please go to https://youtu.be/WtVQbMTyIac.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
So we’ve embossed on card stock, cork, and glass but never on the head of a brad.
The brads we have right now are only in black and white…at least until now.
So I grabbed my reverse action tweezers and held the end of the brad tightly. I then dipped the head gently in Versamark Ink, the color ink of my choice, and Clear Embossing Powder. Then the magic Heat Tool melted that powder to reveal a colored brad.
But please note that the color will be lighter but will still coordinate. From left to right is Polished Pink, Sweet Sorbet, and Tahitian Tide.
When you use this technique please post a photo of your finished project on my page at https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! When you run out of room on a project or want some more space to place your photos then add extension panels. It’s really pretty simple. Just add a quarter to a half of an inch, score, and place adhesive on your piece. Then it becomes an easy extension.
To learn how to create this extended explosion album please tune in to the YouTube Live on Wednesday at 7 pm at https://youtu.be/WtVQbMTyIac. If you would like to be notified when I go Live simply go to the link and push to be notified.

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Recently my daughter moved into her own cottage with no shared walls. I call it a cottage because it is small and nestled in the trees of an avocado orchard.
After she was unpacked and organized she slept so peacefully. She said she hadn’t slept that well in probably a few years. It’s amazing to me how some organization can get you the peace needed to rest well.
What recently have you gotten organized that has brought you peace and rest?
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
