Stampin’ Up! now has adhesive-backed sequins. Isn’t that great? Come take a look at what’s new on Sunday at theContinue reading “Sequins and glue.”

Bone folder does more than crease.
A bone folder can be used to flatten creases in cardstock but it can also be used to curl the edges to create gorgeous flowers. Just remember a tool can be used for many things, not just what it says on the instructions. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
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 🙂
Embellishments in disguise.
Embellishments are not just to pretty things up. Sometimes they are used to hide a fingerprint, smudge, or even a glue dot. In yesterday’s class a crafter used a glitter enamel dot to hide the bump from a glue dot. Don’t think your card is ruined until you have tried everything. Happy Crafting! With inkyContinue reading “Embellishments in disguise.”
Tear tape is for more than projects.
Sometimes you find a use for something that is not how it is supposed to work at all. Did you know tear tape holds stamps together? The other night I was stamping with a few crafters that had dropped in for a class. The rubber decided to separate from the cushion of the stamp. ThisContinue reading “Tear tape is for more than projects.”
When balloons are angels.
Sometimes the unexpected happens. As we sat and created last Saturday this angel appeared from the balloon punch. Lisa gave me permission to use her “miracle” as the example for Wednesday’s Wackiness. So remember to turn your punches, scraps, negative images, and positive ones backwards and upside down. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂
Bell accents or ribbon holes?
I just watched the video from Stampin’ Up! for the Stockings Die. Did you know that the curved slit is intentioned to be an accent piece for the bell? It’s not a ribbon slit or hole. Well, now I have a new use for it. If you ever receive a product and don’t know whatContinue reading “Bell accents or ribbon holes?”

If you need a brochure for the new Blends comment or contact me so I can get you a copy! Happy Crafting! With inky fingers,Continue reading “Alcohol markers color more than paper.”
A bracket becomes a mustache.
You’ve probably heard me say this before, “look at products sideways and upside down if you have to”. Sometimes you just don’t know what you have. I recently purchased the large letter framelits and one of the brackets I am sure was also designed to be a mustache. Make sure you are using everything toContinue reading “A bracket becomes a mustache.”
Sometimes dimensionals level you out.
Sometimes dimensionals are not to bring things up but to level them out. When doing a shaker card you have an area that is higher than the rest. This is where the shaker is. To level out the card so nothing ends up concave use dimensionals to level it out. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers,Continue reading “Sometimes dimensionals level you out.”
