Did you know that the scraps from your die of your Big Shot can become a new creation? Take the Birthday Thinlits…the scrap from the top of the die becomes an antler for a reindeer. Remember to look at things upside down and sideways. Enjoy and Happy Crafting! With inky fingers, Joni 🙂

Clouds are not just for the sky.
Today is one of my favorite themes, Wacky Wednesday. I love looking outside the box to see what else we can create with a product. Today the cloud from “Up and Away” becomes a hole for a tag punch. Here is the finished tag with this! Remember that the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch matches withContinue reading “Clouds are not just for the sky.”
Aqua painter is not just for painting.
Have you ever stuck an embellishment or accent piece on with your dimensionals and you can see the edges of them sticking out? Then get your aqua painter out. No, I haven’t lost my mind. I did just say aqua painter. The top of it or the rounded end is perfect for giving a bitContinue reading “Aqua painter is not just for painting.”
Stamping is not just for paper.
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.”
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.”

But, did you know, that the buddy can also be used to remove adhesive or sticky spots.Continue reading “Embossing buddy is not just for embossing.”
Sometimes backwards is the right way.
I was the kid that walked to school backwards just because I could. And my Mom was saying the whole time “please turn around so you don’t trip and fall”. Well, that was the first time. By the end of the treck she was telling me somewhat forcefully to “walk right”. Well, I didn’t die,Continue reading “Sometimes backwards is the right way.”
Cling wrap for the craft room?
I bet you are wondering if I have lost it completely. Well, I have another tip for you from the kitchen. Take that cling wrap and cover your shirt to not get paint, ink, food, whatever. When you are done just peel right off. This might just save you enough time to actually drink thatContinue reading “Cling wrap for the craft room?”
Enamel dots are not just for projects
Do you have a hard time finding out what color is what in your re-inker bottles? Mine are all stacked up and I often can’t read the side. Or I have had to wipe the side of the bottle (because we had too much fun) and now the label isn’t all there. Here’s an ideaContinue reading “Enamel dots are not just for projects”
Wacky Wednesday
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it was not intended. Sometimes if you need a wider ribbon you can simply stretch it. Don’t be afraid to take your product and literally pull it apart. P.S. Just a quick side note that the invitation for Card Class is up! Here’s aContinue reading “Wacky Wednesday”
