Dance with the Waves

Hello there!

Today, I'm sharing another pretty card that I made with a new Technique Junkies stamp, Dance with the Waves, from the June release at Technique Junkies. This is such a beautiful sentiment, that I kept this card simple.

This is a bitter-sweet day for me. I have stepped down from the Technique Junkies Design Team, due to lots of things going on at home. This will be my last post for TJ. However, you'll still see me, as I plan to spend some time using products that have never seen ink!  To Pat and Mark Huntoon, THANK YOU!  I wish you'd invited me to the team sooner, so I could have loved you and your products longer!  You have been a joy to work for, and had so much patience with me as I learned to step outside of my box! 

Without further ado...Here's what I made:


The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock with a Kaleidacolor ink pad (remember them?), and matted with purple cardstock. This panel was adhered to a beautiful card base from my stash, with pop dots. Easy peasy!

Sweet Summertime

Hello there!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made with a new Technique Junkies stamp, Sweet Summertime, from the June release at Technique Junkies. This is a fun summertime card, and it needed a fun sentiment. I chose one from last summer, Flip Flop Memories and kept this card simple.

Here's what I made:


The image panel was stamped in Memento Black Ink, and colored with Copic Markers. This panel was adhered to a pink card base. The sentiment was stamped in hot pink ink, matted onto a pink scrap, and adhered to the focal panel with pop dots. Ta-da, Ta-done!

Big Wave

Howdy!

I'm up today on the Technique Junkies blog, and am sharing two cards that I made, featuring the beautiful new Big Wave stamp from the June Release. I hope you like them! This is such a beautiful release.
Here's my first card:




Wow! What a beautiful wave. The sentiment used on this card is also new Ocean Soul.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark, and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The image was stamped in dark blue ink, and some blending was done toward the top with an Ink Blending Brush and a beautiful sentiment finished this card nicely.


And here's card number two:


This time, using a finger dauber, I dabbed on several shades of Distress Oxide Inks until I got the look I wanted. I blended some ink on the top, and stamped the sentiment from the beautiful set, Sunset Sentiments with a deep blue ink.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Waves of Grief

Hello there!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made with a new TJ stamp, Waves of Grief, from the June release at Technique Junkies. This is a beautiful sentiment, so I kept this card simple.

Here's what I made:



The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock with black ink, and matted with purple, then gold cardstock. This panel was adhered to a beautiful card base. Easy peasy!

Statue of Liberty

Hello there!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made with a new TJ stamp, Statue of Liberty, from the June release at Technique Junkies. This is a fabulous image, perfect for an Independence Day Card. Hard to believe July 4th is just around the corner!

Here's what I made:



The image was stamped onto a piece of patterned paper with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The focal panel was adhered to a white card base. Next the America Beats True sentiment was stamped onto white cardstock, cut out, and adhered to the focal panel. The upper part of the sentiment was adhered directly to the card, the lower part of the sentiment was popped up with foam dots.

Sunset Sentiments

Hello, friends!

I'm up today on the Technique Junkies blog, and am sharing three cards that I made, using some new stamps from the June Release. I hope you like them! This is such a beautiful release.

Here's my first card:


Wow! What a beautiful wave. This card features Big Wave, and Sunset Sentiments. The wave was inked with some pretty Distress Oxide Ink, some blending toward the top with an Ink Blending Brush and a beautiful sentiment finished this card nicely.


And here's card number two:


This card features Pier Sunset, and Sunset Sentiments. The focal image was colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment was stamped with black ink, and Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss was spritzed on to finish the panel. The panel was backed with some silver metallic cardstock (which didn't photograph well), and adhered to a black card base. Another easy, pretty card.

Deep Sea Collage

Hello crafty friends!

It's June release day at Technique Junkies... Things are blooming here, and it's been so rainy that things are looking plush and green here in Missouri.

We have some wonderful new stamps for you, and all of them are 15% off through June 8th! No codes are needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout. 


Here's the May Release, and you can get it as a bundle! Check it out:


Great release, right???

Here's what I made to share today:


I chose to use the Deep Sea Collage background stamp for this card. The image was stamped onto white cardstock, and ink blended with Ink Blending Brushes, until I got the shading I liked. I then adhered the focal panel onto a Kraft card base. The collage was stamped and ink blended with again, and 3 of the images were fussy cut and popped up onto the focal panel. If you look closely, you'll see that the fish fins and tail were snipped so that in real life, it looks like they are free floating. A bit of bling finished this one up nicely!

I hope you like this great new release, and can't wait for you to see the awesome inspiration 
from our Design Team!






Patti - you're here!
