Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

It’s Management Monday! Here’s what’s happening this week and maybe a bit beyond.

September Online Craft Class

The class for September is up! Create two fun fold cards, a sliding pocket with filling, and a layered tag with gift card pocket. Let me know if you want to join in!

For this Club from August 16-31 at noon order $50 or more in product with host code HE9QHUTF or using the link https://www.stampinup.com?hostcode=HE9QHUTF to qualify. (You can also place your order directly with me but it will not be submitted until September 1.) There is no commitment unlike past Clubs. There is simply a bonus.

Open Day Session

Come join the fun on Saturday, August 27 from 10-3! Drop in and stay a minute or the entire time. No RSVP is required but if you want something set out or have a question that requires some research you might want to let me know ahead of time. Drinks are provided but no snacks. Bring your own if you get hungry.

Please remember to bring your cards with envelopes to donate to Operation Gratitude. They especially need birthday cards. See you Saturday!

Host Availability

Are you missing in-person classes? Well, now you can choose everything. When you choose to be a host you get to pick exactly what you want: your location, your food, your projects, and your free products. These are the only two weekends I have available but I do have weekdays open.

So let me know where I am going and when. I look forward to what ideas you have to share with me!

Happy Crafting!

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

I don’t know about you but I like this quote. It gives me permission to take time off and not feel guilty about it.

Dr. Henry Cloud is an American Christian author that focuses on self help. He has authored Boundaries which is a book that has helped me and I am sure many others.

So to get back to it rest today. Do not feel that you have to be super efficient or to produce today. Take a day to regroup so you can be fresh and ready for the week.

Happy Crafting!

Joni 🙂

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

I have a special request today from of our very own. Serina’s daughter has just left for the Air Force. And to top it off she is turning 18 in just under a month.

So if you would like to send her a birthday card with no glitter or perfume sprayed on it please contact me to get her address.

Thank you so much for reading this far and please mail her a birthday card.

Happy Crafting!

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

Have you ever used ribbon for more than just a bow or a knot?

Lately I used ribbon to tie a pocket shut that kept popping open.

And just the other day I used ribbon to create a partition for some cards in a basket for the craft fair.

What have you used ribbon for that hasn’t been traditional? Please leave a comment.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to talk to you about the advantages to photopolymer (see through) stamp sets.

First, you can see what and where you are stamping.

Second, you can bend the stamp. Remember that you can reposition the stamp to bend the way you want.

So don’t be afraid to get your fingers in there and bend your stamps. Hint: It’s easier when they are clean since they are not as slippery or messy.

Happy Crafting!

Happy Crafting!
