Instead of encouraging you to go out today to give back I want to tell you to stay in. ReadContinue reading “Take back your life.”

Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.
Today’s tutorial is on how to create this inlaid card. So let’s get to it. 🙂 Start with a card base cut tall instead of our regular. Instead of cutting at 5 1/2 inches cut instead at 4 1/4″. Then score at 5 1/2 ” and not 4 1/4″. Thick white is used here. ThenContinue reading “Inlaid cards with a bonus of kicking butt.”
Gems are for more than paper.
The rhinestones, pearls, and other gems can be used for more than paper. They can be placed on glass, wood, vinyl, and more. One particular friend of mine has a daughter that uses the gems for body art. A line of rhinestones become eyebrow art or a fake nose piercing. Don’t be scared to experimentContinue reading “Gems are for more than paper.”
Inlaid detail.
Sometimes the details are what matter. For this technique you need a framelit (outline die) and a matching detail die.

Thankfully my kitchen isn’t that big so there’s not many places to look. And at 10 am my kid isn’t even up yet. Oh, the teenage years. Whatever there is in yourContinue reading “Resting on Mother’s Day.”
Sales, yard sales, and farmers’ market.
It’s Saturday so that can only mean one thing. It is time to announce the promotions, find the best yard sales, and stop at the farmers’ market. The retiring list is out and has less than three weeks before it is all gone. Here is the link to take a look at retiring products. Some ofContinue reading “Sales, yard sales, and farmers’ market.”
Sometimes giving back is close to home.
When I post about giving back on a Friday it’s usually about an organization or someone far away that needs help. This time it’s right here. Right in our own crafty family. One of the girls this week has been through a very painful sinus surgery. She is recovering slowly but can use a littleContinue reading “Sometimes giving back is close to home.”

Glue dots as a holder.
Sometimes I have little pieces laying all over my crafting area and I lose them. If I have enough time to clean I will often find them. Sometimes I end up buying more and find them all later. So what if there was a way to stay organized? The other night I was creating withContinue reading “Glue dots as a holder.”
