Remember to think outside the box. You can stamp on more than just cardstock. Recently I ran across an idea to stamp on wood to create those signs that it seems everyone is doing right now. If you stamp on glass with basic black you will want to take a heat gun to fully dryContinue reading “Stamping is not just for paper.”

Boxes out of envelopes.
Did you know that our tools have multiple uses? For example, the envelope punch board can also be used to create boxes. I found a perfect tool to be used to find out what measurements were needed to create a box. Go to http://thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster/ and keep it handy. This is awesome! And here is what IContinue reading “Boxes out of envelopes.”
Here’s to a new start…
It’s Monday again. I look forward to Mondays as they are a new start to the week. For me it’s all about perspective. That’s it. If I think it will be bad, it probably will be. So, here are the opportunities to get your creative mojo going. This Saturday the 23rd from 10-10 the MesaContinue reading “Here’s to a new start…”
Sundays are usually for rest…
While usually I save Sundays to sleep in, catch up on the mess from the week, and read the paper it’s not the case today. Today we drive to see my husband’s brother that flew in from Germany. It’s a reminder for me to savor the moments you can even if you wanted to sleepContinue reading “Sundays are usually for rest…”
Today is craft fair day!
Some days I wake up and try to remember what day is which. They all seem to run together. Pay bills, get the mail, cook dinner… Well, today is different for me at least. I get a chance to hopefully see you! I will be at Yucca Valley United Methodist Church on Onaga until 2:00Continue reading “Today is craft fair day!”

So, to give you an update, I am $64.87 away from $100K. Yes, that’sContinue reading “Fridays are fantastic…”
New technique…turning paste into fluff!
On last night’s Facebook Live I turned embossing paste into fluff! You take a heat gun to it until it changes texture. With practice this becomes very realistic. You can see the difference between my first attempt on the card and my second on the stocking. The only tip I have so far is toContinue reading “New technique…turning paste into fluff!”
Creating and having fun.
Just a couple of cards that were created yesterday that I thought I would post here. The Christmas one was created with embossing paste that is dried with a heat gun until fluffy. The birthday card is using the Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on page 5 of the Holiday Catalog. It uses theContinue reading “Creating and having fun.”
Stamping with all things.
Some days you intend to stamp and other days every day items become what is used. Don’t be afraid to look outside of the catalog. Today’s tool is a wine glass, specifically the bottom of the glass. I am thinking this and a few other “techniques” will become an oops class. But for now startContinue reading “Stamping with all things.”
An oops is a creative opportunity.
Have you created a card and at the last second you tip over your water bottle and it is now a watercolor? Not all oops’es are mistakes. They are usually just creative opportunities. This card was created with a mistake in mind. Take a saucer and pour some wine in it. The bottom of theContinue reading “An oops is a creative opportunity.”
