It’s Technique Tuesday! I bet you have seen all of the elegant and sophisticated embossed cards for Christmas. But have you seen the messy one?
I’ve included a short video on how to create this card for you.
Go to https://youtu.be/zrxYkCkU3cU to see how this is done.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can recharge for the rest of the week.
Sometimes I recharge by sitting at home all by myself and other times I do a craft fair and get to talk to a bunch of people. It just really depends on who I have been around (if they have been uplifting, positive or negative, energy draining). I often find that by being around the right people their energy will rub off on me.
So how does this relate to recover? Let me explain by a definition.
Recover (according to the dictionary app) is to return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength. And one person’s normal is not another’s.
So however you recover or recharge…do that. The world needs more enthusiastic, kind people.

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
This week Christmas cards have started coming in to the mailbox. Please don’t feel bad if you haven’t got yours done yet. Mine are done but not addressed or written in. It’s like my mind said “yep, they are made and now I am done”. But I have still quite a bit to do. And I’ll be honest…I will get them out before Christmas but probably just barely.
But my point is not to note that I am not done. My point is how much getting a card in the mailbox means. Please send a card this year. It may not be a Christmas card. Send New Years or Valentine’s Day instead. But please send one to brighten someone’s day.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Did you know that rings can become organizers? I found a new way to keep my Christmas cards that are coming in. I take a notebook ring or binder loop, a hole punch, and my Christmas card I want to keep. I cut the card in half so it can be easily read, punch holes, and then thread it through the rings.
How do you keep your Christmas cards organized? Do you display them, stack, or hang them?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is more of a tip than a technique.
When you are doing multiple projects remember that you can stack your card stock. Instead of only scoring one piece at a time do as many as will fit in the Paper Trimmer. Make sure to use the lines going down to ensure that your pieces are all straight.
When you can be efficient so you have more time to design and create.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
