It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Today I want to talk to you about making frames. When you put two of the same shapes (but different sizes) you get a frame. Use a post-it note or tape to secure it so you don’t get a crooked one. But the Foam Adhesive Strips really make a frame pop. They are thinner than Dimensionals so you don’t have to worry about them sticking out. But they give you that added height so the frame stands out.
What else do you use the Foam Adhesive Strips for?
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Well, autumn is almost here. While the weather supposedly cools down so do the colors. They become much deeper and warmer in tone. And the darker the color the less room for error. If the image isn’t stamped well you can see it easily.
So then what’s the answer? There are a few.
First, make sure your ink pads are properly inked.
Second, have a Pierce Mat to give some extra cushion to get a crisper image.
And third, but not last in priority, is to use the Stamparatus. Then if it is not dark enough you can ink your stamp again and stamp that image in the exact same spot. I believe my record is five times of stamping the same thing. It was a bat last year that I wanted so black and I got it. 🙂
I hope any of these three tips helps you as our colors being to darken.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.
Since this is a holiday weekend I figured I would give a bit of history on how Labor Day came to be.
As we as a nation moved from the farms to the factories there were long work hours involved. As the Industrial Age came in full force the average worker’s rights came in to question as well. With production increasing you would think wages would increase. But in many instances not only did they stagnate but even decreased.
So Peter J. McGuire and Matthew Maguire both decided separately to organize the first unions in New York to get workers to be treated more fairly. On September 5, 1882 the first “parade” showed up at city hall to show their strength. There were bands, food, and more. This kind of sounds like today.
Well, the tradition caught on. To this day there is plenty of enjoyment taken on this well deserved day off.
To read the entire history and article please go to https://www.employmentlawhandbook.com/resources/the-history-of-labor-day-in-the-united-states/.
So enjoy your extra day of rest this week on this holiday weekend.
Happy Crafting!
