Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

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

Normally I would tell you what I am doing to rest, but today is not about me. It’s about my daughter.

Tara, my daughter, just finished a summer of touring the nation with a drum corp. (For those of us not in music (like me), this means she was on a bus for almost 3 months performing a show at stadiums all over the country.) She developed some knee and shoulder problems after being on her feet 10 hours a day for about a month straight. But there was no rest in sight unless she dropped out.

Instead she figured out what to do to make it through. Lots of ice, a knee brace, and lots of prayers. And now she is able to rest. She is not on her feet 10 hours a day any more dancing, playing, loading, etc. Just the normal for work, school, and living. And now that she finished to the amazement of the staff and many of her friends, she gets rewarded. Not only does she know that she finished but the staff have recognized her as well. Well done in not only finishing, but finishing well.

What have you persevered through and got rewarded for?

Happy Crafting!

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

I know I have mentioned it before…to donate to your local food pantry. And I think of buying cereal, canned vegetables, peanut butter, and whatever else that is not refrigerated off the grocery store shelves. But have you thought about donating bags as well. I never think to ask about bags or small boxes. In California bags come at a cost now. So remember not only the food but also the container.

Happy Crafting!

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!
