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 rest of the week.

I have learned that there is definitely a reward for not procrastinating, putting in the work, and hitting your goals. The harder I work the sweeter the rest or play is.

Rest doesn’t seem like much of a change if you haven’t put the work in. And since you haven’t hit the deadlines you are now having to play catch up.

I know for me, after going to the gym and doing what I am supposed to, I am much more at peace. I am also able to appreciate the rest as it is not only needed but wanted too.

So don’t forget to put the work in so you can play and rest even better.

Happy Crafting!

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

Life has been a bit crazy here. Not bad but definitely chaotic. There’s been a bunch of moving parts. My daughter moved out of her first apartment, is going on tour with a drum corps group this summer, and decided to sell her truck. So what does that mean for my husband and I. That means be there for the inspection since we are co-signers, help get her ready for tour, and sell her truck since the title is under hubby’s name. On top of her stuff is all of the normal and us trying to sell our RV as well. Put in a few business decisions that change things and you are one busy person.

So why do I say all of this? Because not once have I heard my hubby say this is too much. I’ve heard I can’t do this right now but later today I can. But not one complaint. Even after I thought I had lost the title to her truck and had him go to Riverside to find it in storage. By the way it was right here in 29 Palms. He didn’t say a word.

Thank you for teaching me that complaining doesn’t get the job done nor does it help anyone. What a great lesson in just getting it done. Thank you for showing me grace.

Now I want to encourage you to be grateful. Aim to not complain and see what a difference it makes.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to show you how to stamp with water. Yes, water. You put the ink on the background and instead you stamp with water to take out or dilute the inked background.

For this card you need:

• card base
• coordinating mats
• envelope
• a larger sized stamp
• spritzer filled with water
• three ink colors in the same color family
• adhesive
• gems if you would like

To see both cards and the video please go to https://youtu.be/bNbkmI0-3U8.

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

Did you know that we have one of the best gadgets out there to get those sticky tags off of something you just bought? Grab your Heat Tool, put it on low, and warm up that tag. The adhesive will soften and will wipe right off.

So next time you buy something don’t use your fingernail, key, or razor blade. Instead reach for your Heat Tool.

Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! I posted this on the Team group as well, but I felt this was important enough to repeat for all.

It’s good to know the thicknesses or weight of our card stock when stamping, printing, and so much more. Here’s a chart for you to keep as a reference.

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

Have you ever made bread from scratch? I look at the process of making bread much like life.

We start pretty raw and are tested and mixed to make us who we are. Just remember after being mixed to rest a bit so we can rise to the challenge. Then after we rise expect to be punched down a bit. The process makes us beautiful and full of flavor much like a loaf of bread.

Now I am hungry for french toast. Anyone else?
