Christmas in July at Technique Junkies...

Hello everyone!

Whew....I am sliding in at the last minute with some holiday cards that I've created for the 'Christmas in July' challenge on the Technique Junkies' FaceBook page.

I won't jabber today - I'll just share!  Here goes...

Christmas Dove

Stamped with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink

Hillside Pines and All Is Calm

Merry Christmas Wishes & Stardust Heat Transfer Foil

I could NOT get a good photo of this. Tried about 20 different ways. Anyway, in real life, this is real purty!!!  I painted the Transfer Gel on with a paintbrush, and let it totally dry, prior to running it through my laminator. Then, the strips at the bottom were Scor-Tape, that I laid the foil over.

 Merry Christmas Wishes and Stardust Heat Transfer Foil

Scor-Tape covered with the heat foil - so pretty!

Framed Poinsettia and Victorian Greetings

Framed Poinsettia

Scratched Tree

Scratched Tree

Foil fail....the image was just too much darkness, which is what the foil grabs to. Again, I painted the gel on, and let it dry, prior to running the piece through the laminator. In real life it is very pretty, but SO hard to get a good photo!!!

Red or White Christmas and Stencil Rings

Painted the transfer gel on, and let dry prior to covering with foil sheet and laminating. Colored image with Copics.

Red or White Christmas and Retro Blooms 

Drug out my old can of Stickles to decorate this one. Colored image with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hugs and holiday smiles,

Tropical Palm Fronds

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to share three cards using some of the wonderful July release products!

This first card uses an awesome new background stamp, 'Tropical Palm Fronds'. I stamped the sentiment 'A Good Friend' on the focal panel, then cut an oval mask to go over it. I then stamped the background, added a whisp of cheesecloth and a unique die cut. Mounted the panel on green cardstock...done!

I love making cards that are so very easy, but the recipients think they took a long time. Technique Junkies background stamps make such an awesome statement!  For this card, the Tropical Palm Fronds was stamped onto a pale yellow panel. The sentiment 'The First to Apologize' was also stamped on pale yellow, matted, and embellished with a bit of tatting twine.

This card was stamped onto a pale green. I used 'Tropical Palm Fronds' and a sentiment from 'Wreath Wishes'. This is an older set, but a go-to for me! I send a lot of Thinking of You cards to church members, and love the size and font of this sentiment.

This July release has been amazing! Wait until you see the August release!

Sit on the Porch

Hello out there!

It's Fri-yay once again...thanks for stopping by!

I have a very easy, fun Technique Junkies card to share with you today using a wonderful July release stamp, 'Sit on the Porch'.

This first card was SO fast, and SO easy to make! I made this a 5 x 7 card, to better showcase the fun stamp.  I began with a white panel. I used 'A Colorful Life 'Faded Petals' stencil, and blended some pale blue ink onto the white panel.  I centered the 'Sit on the Porch' stamp on the white panel, and stamped it with a darker blue ink. I then cut 'Sit on the Porch' out of the panel with a die cut, mounted it onto a scrap of black, and adhered it right back onto the white panel. To finish, the panel was matted in black, and adhered to a white card base.

Be sure to check out the Technique Junkies store to see all of the latest releases, and if you shop, please use my discount code to get 10% off of any purchase any time! And this is in addition to the 15% off!

Enjoy the Sweet Things

Happy Wednesday!

It’s challenge day at the Repeat Impressions blog, The House that Stamps Built, and we have a new Inspiration Palette Challenge for you. Here is the fun Inspiration Palette that Wendy provided to inspire us this week:

Here's what I made using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

9010 H Watermelon

9007 E Sweet Things

I stamped the image and colored it twice. The 'slice' of watermelon was cut out of the 2nd stamping, and adhered over top of the first stamping with dimensional foam for dimension. The 'slice' was then covered with Glossy Accents for some nice, juicy shine!

Hope you like it!

Now it’s your turn!

Summer Barn

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to share a pretty card that I made using a stamp from the July 2020 Technique Junkies release.

For this card, I'm stamping with 'Summer Barn'. I absolutely love old barns. In fact, our barn looked so much like this one MANY years ago! Mother Nature, sadly, has not been so good to our poor old barn!

The image was stamped onto white cardstock, using Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. I took a few Copic markers to finish the image, and matted it onto some tan cardstock. This was then 'framed out' with some wood grained and striped paper scraps from my stash. It was all put together and mounted onto a gold card base. The sentiment is from an older set 'Simple Sentiments, Set 2, Style B'.

This was such a lovely image to work with - I hope you'll give it a try!

Don't forget!!! You can always save an additional 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

30 Day Coloring Challenge - Day 3

I'm getting there! 

 Kathy Racoosin, The Daily Marker, is having her 17th 30 Day Coloring Challenge, and I'm trying to color something for the challenge each day this month.

Here is my image for Day 3 - it's a little pre-printed diploma from a series of worksheets/stories that I've been working on with our granddaughter. She finished this packet, so grandma colored with Copics, and laminated her diploma, and it's in the mail!

Hope she likes it!

Thanks for dropping by today!

Take Life With a Grain of Salt...

Hi everyone - Happy Wednesday!

It's time for a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

Here is the inspiration board that Wendy gave us to work with:

  

I chose to work with: Patterned Paper, Citrus, & Texture.

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

9612 F Citrus Slice

9605 G Take Life

9610 I Salt Shaker

9609 E Citrus Wedge

9613 G Shot Glass

Here's my creation:

I must have googled 100 photos of tequila, and they were all slightly different colors! Since I can't drink, I just have no clue!  This looks pretty good in real life, but on the screen, it looks like watered down tequila! Lol...

Here's a bit of a close-up of the images...

Now it’s your turn! Create something using the Tic-Tac-Toe board above, and link it up at The House that Stamps Built. Remember, your creation does not have to be made with Repeat Impressions stamps, but if you would like to include our designs we would love to see them! Plus, there’s an added bonus… you will get an additional entry in our random.org drawing for using our stamps in your submissions!
