For those of you that have attended any of my classes you will often hear me say “stamp first then punch”. If you stamp it crooked you can still punch it crooked too making the end result straight. Just a little technique for you that will come in handy for this Thursday’s card. Happy Crafting!Continue reading “Sometimes crooked is the new straight.”

It’s one of you crafters that makes me feel so special by creating and then mailing it. I’ve gotten some amazing happy mail this week.Continue reading “Sometimes it’s the little things.”
It’s your inside that counts.
Following Tuesday’s theme of finding out what is down at the core of your cardstock is a finished card that looks awesome (in my opinion)! I bleached early espresso cardstock and found that there was an undertone of yellow. The burlap ribbon is pulled a bit to give a rough look.

When Christmas ribbon becomes Valentine accents.
Don’t throw away your Christmas ribbon. That red ribbon becomes a great accent for Valentine’s Day. Start thinking outside the box. Just about anything allotted for Christmas can be re-purposed for Valentine’s Day. Remember to look sideways, upside down, and backwards at your supplies. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
