Stamping With Joni and the Red Door Crafters

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to talk to you about reflection stamping. This is when you take the same stamp and flip it around on itself after stamping your initial image.

For this card you stamp the initial image like you normally do. Then you re-ink and stamp again, but this time you stamp the image on a silicone mat. You take the mat and position it over the card stock. After laying it down over then you simply rub the image on to the card stock. Tip: I opt to place the silicone mat on the card stock instead of the other way around simply so I can see the image as I am placing it.

Then I colored with the Watercolor Pencils and then Blender Pen.

When you create your project with this technique please post to https://facebook.com/StampingWithJoni.

Happy Crafting!

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

When I google rest many of the images are perfectly cut lawns with someone peacefully swaying in a hammock. They are dosing and sometimes even have a glass of fresh squeezed lemonade by their side. But is rest always synonymous with napping or sleep? No, it is not.

Rest is all encompassing. Sometimes to get rest means more sleep. But sometimes it means to increase your physical and mental well-being. This can be done with more sleep sometimes. But it often requires a shift in stress levels or the ability to relax. This can be done in so many ways. Meditation, reading, taking a bath, walking, hiking are just a few examples. Basically anything you do that allows you to relax is rest.

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

I have to say that lately I have been going through many of my coaching sites as I am restructuring my business. And while there is much differing opinion on how to get things done, one thing is consistent…TAKE ACTION. It doesn’t matter how good my intentions are. Without action they are meaningless.

So I would encourage you to actually mail the note or card to your friend. Pick up the phone and call. Drop off a favorite snack to someone close. Or simply spend a few minutes connecting again. Whatever it is…take action.

Happy Crafting!

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

Did you know that the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine can iron too? It can’t do a shirt but it can do card stock.

I just finished finding some cards that were stashed and a little warped. So I thought what could I do. I let them sit out for a day or so and they didn’t flatten out on their own. And, as always, my Machine was sitting at the end of my table. I threw my warped card through the Machine. It helped but it was still not perfect. So I lightly misted with a Spritzer bottle and some water on to that warped card stock. I then ran it through again, but this time I left it stuck halfway through for a few minutes. When it came out it was perfectly flat.

Tip: Be careful with the water if there is ink on top. You might want to spray from underneath instead. And if you have embellishments please realize they will be flattened too.

Happy Crafting!

The hoodies are in stock!

I contacted Stampin’ Up! and they say they run about a size small.

Wouldn’t this be cute with some fabric markers and some color?

Let me know if you want one!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today I want to show you a quick and easy tip to store your Embossing Powder better.

I don’t know about you but I often can’t read the top of the lid. So I grab what I think is white and end up with clear. Get your sharpie out of the drawer and write on the top of the lid so it is easy to see.

I hope this helps you to create faster.

Happy Crafting!

With inky fingers,

Joni 🙂
