Gluestick

Hello out there!

Happy Fri-yay...thanks for stopping by!

I have a very easy, fun Technique Junkies card to share with you today using a wonderful August release stamp, 'Gluestick'.

This first card was fun to make! I stamped 'Stencil Rings' onto a white panel, and colored the rings with an assortment of Copic markers. This panel was adhered to a gray mat, then a red card base. The sentiment 'Gluestick' was stamped with a Kaleidacolor Ink pad, and matted with gray, white, and red, and adhered to card. 'Eye Rolling' was then stamped with pink and black inks, mounted on gray, and adhered to 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!

Thanks for stopping by today - Hope you like the cards!

Paint the World

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to a pretty card made with some of the wonderful August release products!

This card uses an awesome new background stamp, 'World Compass'. I stamped the sentiment from the new set 'Celebrate Diversity' on the white focal panel, then stamped the image using Versamark Ink, and embossing with white embossing powder onto another white panel. Using the 'Ink Blending Brushes', I blended some Distress Oxide ink onto the image. The layers were adhered together, and mounted onto a Kraft card base.

I love making cards that are so very easy, but look difficult! Technique Junkies background stamps make such an awesome card!  

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

What a wonderful pay it forward blog candy Patty, fantastic goodies!

My favorite tradition was Christmas Eve dinner at my home with all the family, followed by Christmas Carolers outside, then attending Mass at midnight, next morning watching the Christmas specials on TV with the kids as they open their gifts. Now my daughter is carrying on the tradition with her kids.

Be a Fruitloop!

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 August release stamp, 'Be a Fruitloop'.

This first card was SO fast, and SO easy to make! First, I stamped the image on a white panel, and colored it with a few Copic markers. Then, I used 'A Colorful Life 'Faded Petals' stencil, and blended some green, yellow, blue, and red  ink onto the white panel, using 'Ink Blending Brushes'.  I cut a blue 'floating frame', using two square dies, and placed it over the image. To finish, the panel was adhered to a red 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!

Blog Candy!

 

Blog Candy!!!

Edited: Just a reminder of the blog candy below!

Hi crafty friends!

It's been a LONG time since I last offered a blog candy. Time to give something away! You have all been so patient with me the last two years, during my illness of 2018, and our moving, and I appreciate that you are still popping in here to visit and leave such nice comments!

A few weeks ago, I won an amazing box full of goodies from Susan Opel. All she asked, was that I Pay It Forward, and offer a give-a-way of the things that I might already own, or simply might not use.  I'm caught up with my August DT responsibilities, so this seemed a great time to Pay It Forward!

You are only seeing the top of this deep box!

If you are interested in winning a box full of crafty items (stamps, dies, stencils, stickers, etc.) that belonged to Susan, just leave me a comment below, telling me about one of your favorite Christmas Traditions. I can't wait to read your comments!

This Blog Candy will be open for comments from today (August 8th) until Saturday, August 15th. A winner will be announced afternoon or evening of Sunday, August 16th, so be sure to check back that evening!!! Hopefully, you can Pay it Forward, as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and blessings,

Pick of the Week...by me!

Hi everyone!

It's my turn to share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I picked to showcase are:

8618 E Happy Moments

2408 N Large Palm Trees

Here's what I made:

Let's get started!

You need 2 white cardstock pieces, cut to size for card front. Choose a die, and cut out the inside section of one piece. Stack your two pieces of cardstock together, and adhere the outside of the top piece to your work space with some post it notes.

Remove the center section, grab some inks, and begin blending some colors on. I put a post it about 2/3 of the way up on my piece, and blended with Antique Linen and Memento Summer Sky.

Now, remove the post it from the top, and replace it at the bottom. Begin ink blending again. My colors for the top were Stampin' Up Pool Party, and Memento Summer Sky.

Remove all post it notes. Can you sort of see the definition between the 'water' and 'skyline'?

Now, remove the outside piece and see the magic! You've actually been blending on the piece that will be your finished card front.

Stamp your sentiment and palm trees...I used Versamark Brown, and colored the trees with colored pencils. Adhere your card front to card base. Voila - a beautiful 10 minute card!

 For this week only (August 10-August 16, 2020), get 20% off the two stamps used in my creation above when you use the coupon code POTW81020.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

Best Friends...Gnome Matter What!

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 August 2020 Technique Junkies release.

For this card, I'm stamping with 'Gnomies Forever'. I am smitten with these cuties! You may need to enlarge this photo to see better.

The images were stamped onto white card stock, using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used a few Copic markers to color the images, then fussy cut them, and set them aside. Next, I folded a piece of white card stock into a slimline card, got out my Ink Blending Brushes, along with some fun ink colors, and created a background for my Gnomies. 

This was such a fun set to work with - I am pretty sure you 'need' these in your collection! I'm already working up a Christmas design with them!

All of the August 2020 New Release stamps are 15% off through August 8th! We can all use a little bargain, right? No codes needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

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

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month!
