It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.
Recently I was skimming through the news and treading through the usual bad news. This actress is suing so and so. Flooding here. War. Politics. Blah, blah. Bad news. Bad news. And then a bright light. An actual feel good story. Finally. Something different.
So the short of the story goes like this. An older lady was attempting to pay for her groceries and it wasn’t going well. She was in tears. The guy behind couldn’t understand why she was in tears. Her bill wasn’t even $20. There had to be more to it. There was, lots more. So he paid the bill, gave her some encouraging words, his contact information, and where he worked. He was a server at Applebee’s. He encouraged her to come in for a coffee or dessert on him if she needed someone to talk to.
Well, the next night the family came in and ordered the cheapest thing on the menu. Then they asked for the bill to be split. And he received a nice note with a tip of a lifetime.
To read the entire article please go to https://yourdailysportfix.com/after-paying-for-a-strangers-y0/?utm_source=gemini-y0&utm_campaign=y0-us-d-yds-elderen-r1730&utm_content={37800643705}&utm_medium=425504161_HOMEPAGE_US&utm_term=c_yahoo.com#15. Trust me that the article gives the story much more detail.
So why am I saying this? To remind you that it’s the little things. Do the little things. I can’t guarantee you will be rewarded like this gentleman was, but it’s the little things that matter.

It’s Tutorial Thursday and I want to show you how to “quilt”! Quilt is in quotes because it is a very loose translation of the original term of quilting. I will not be measuring but I will be trimming and creating a pattern similar to that of a quilt.
For this card you will need a center, accent, or focal point. After the focal point you will need strips cut any width you like. I would not recommend going smaller or more narrow than 1/2″ since they get difficult to work with. For the sample here the strips are cut to 3/4″. You will also need adhesive (Stampin’ Seal) and a card base. There is no ink, embossing, or stamping to create this project.
To watch the video and to see the third card please go to https://youtu.be/trCotblLIEw.

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended!
Did you know that besides burnishing score lines the Bone Folder has many uses? It can curl flowers, flatten items, create gaps for 3D projects, and more. My favorite lately is an envelope stretcher.
You know how you create a card and you think there might be a couple too many layers to it. Well, then stretch your envelope. Take your Bone Folder and slide into an envelope. Then move slowly and twist a little to create a bit of a gap in your envelope. This will allow that unwieldy card to slide right in.
Happy Crafting!

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is not so much of a technique but a gentle reminder.
It does not matter how much you learn if you don’t create. With practice you get dexterity both with your fingers and your tools. So go practice! Go create!
You will get better if you practice, I promise.
Happy Crafting!
With inky fingers,
Joni 🙂
