Ruff Life

I'm sharing a fun card today, that I have created with a new stamp, Ruff Life, from Technique Junkies.

Here is my card:

The focal panel was stamped with Over Coffee Ink by Catherine Pooler. Once the image was in place, I scored some lines for a background. Using an ink blending brush and the Over Coffee Ink, the cardstock was distressed a bit. The panel was popped up onto a card base of the same color, using dimensional dots.

I hope you're all well, and I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!

Batman T-Shirt

I'm sharing a fun card today, that I have created with a new stamp, Batman T-Shirt, from Technique Junkies.

Here is my card:

To get started, I did a Batman background on my computer, and adhered it to a gold mat, then a black card base. The focal panel was stamped in two steps. I masked off the Batman insignia, and stamped the sentiment in black, then masked the sentiment, and stamped the insignia in gold. This was matted onto a black panel, and adhered to the card front. Easy peasy!

Anything is Possible

Hello friends!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty card that I made, using a beautiful new stamp from the March release at Technique Junkies.

Today, I chose to work with Blooming Dogwood Blossoms. I thought it would make

a pretty set of cards.

Here's what I made:

First, I stamped Asian Bamboo Garden with black ink onto white cardstock. Then, using Ink Blending Brushes and a few shades of Distress Oxide Inks, I blended over top of the image. Next step was to stamp the sentiment, Anything is Possible (from an older release), and ink blend over it. The sentiment was matted and adhered to the focal panel. The focal panel was adhered to the card base. 

These stamps make it easy to create masterpieces!

Zen Edges

Hello friends!

I'm up today on the Technique Junkies blog, and am sharing a card that I made, using a beautiful new stamp from the March release. 

Do you like Zen? Then you will love this set!  

Today, I chose to work with Zen Edges a two part stamp, and I Believe in You. I think it made a pretty card! Stop back by on the 31st and see my 'non-card' project that I made with this stamp set!

Here's what I made:

The image was stamped on white cardstock in black ink, and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped in the center, and edged at top and bottom with narrow gold metallic Washi Tape. The focal panel was adhered to a piece of patterned paper, and mounted onto a white card base. Very easy, and eye catching!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Courage

Hello Friends!

I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share a pretty card, using Courage, from Technique Junkies.

This is one of my favorites from this new release. How many times in life have we 'gone on', when we had no strength do do so? Beautiful sentiment!

I created a panel on Yupo paper, using alcohol inks, and felt taped onto a straight edge. After the panel was complete, I die cut the inside panel, stamped the image onto the die cut panel, and matted in black. The focal panel was then adhered to the original panel, and attached to a card base.

I struggle a bit with cards suitable for men, but I think this one could work!

So glad you stopped by today!

Lots to share!

Hello, crafty friends!

Select any item from the 35% discount category and it will be discounted automatically at checkout.

Here's a card that I created using two of the stamps that are on sale, 'A Little Birthday Wish', and 'Flourished Floral'.

As December is an 'anything goes' month for the design team, I decided to create with this cute stamp 'You Stole My Heart'.  I also used the 'Heart Fade Stencil', 'Ink Blending Brushes', and 'Stardust Heat Transfer Foil'. Isn't he just the cutest? 

This image just shows all of his sparkle and gloss...we can't resist a cute, sparkly, glossy puppy, right?

I have one more card to share. This is another great stamp that had not yet seen ink, 'Just a Hug'.

This was stamped in Versamark, and heat embossed with a pretty blue embossing powder from my OLD stash. The focal panel was stenciled using the Ink Blending Brushes, and the 'Technique Junkies Shining Star Stencil'. The edges of the panel were inked, then the panel was adhered to the card base, and stenciled again, so that the card base was included in the stenciling.

Technique Junkies products make such great cards!  

This November release is amazing! So glad you stopped by today!

Visitor from Heaven

 Hi there!

I have a couple of pretty Technique Junkies cards to share today. The first card uses 'SD1051 Cardinal from Heaven' from the November Release. 

The sentiment was stamped with black ink on white cardstock. Using the 'Cloud Edger' Stencil and Ink Blending Brushes, I added a few airy clouds. The image was die cut, as well as a red mat panel. I used a fun circle die with spikes, and just cut a couple of sections, which were adhered between the two panels. This panel was adhered to a piece of pretty patterned paper, and then to the card base. Easy peasy, and so pretty!

Next up is a pretty New Year's card.  To make this card, I cut one panel of black cardstock, and one panel of striped designer paper. Each of the panels was cut on the diagonal.  The Technique Junkies' 'Shining Star Stencil' was inked up with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with silver embossing powder. Isn't it SO pretty?  

Technique Junkies stamps make such beautiful cards, and it's so exciting that they are carryng their own stencils now! 

This November  release is amazing! So glad I could share it with you!  Don't forget that you will get 10% off any purchase by using my code, TJ10Patti.

Hello out there!

Hi there!

Haven't been here for a while, so I thought I'd do a few posts this week of just plain old 'catch-up'! I'm thinking that I'll just post some things that I've made, but have never made it to my blog. If you have questions, let me know! Otherwise, I'm going to just post lots of things with very few words.

Thanks for stopping by!

My first attempt with Alcohol Ink Lift Off!

I'll stop here for now....see you soon!!!

Spin Cycle...

Oh happy day - it's Saturday!

The card I'm sharing today is created using some adorable

new stamps from Great Impressions... 

F608 Beary Wet, and E867 Spin Cycle.

Tee hee, I love this, because some days we just feel like this, right???

The layout is super simple, as I wanted this sweet image and sentiment to be the focal emphasis. 

The image was stamped, colored, cut out, and adhered to the card front with foam squares for dimension. 

Then, some Glossy Accents were added to the drips and puddle. 

Isn't he adorable? 

If you click to make the image larger, you'll see that I gave him a worn and tattered look, by gently pressing on some colorless blender, using a square of cheesecloth.

Don't forget - about the GI challenges!

A fun challenge for May begins tomorrow!

If you use GI stamps be sure to link up to the customer gallery HERE. 

Be sure to stop by the Great Impressions store (HERE) and treat yourself to a few new stamps!

Did you know shipping is free over $25?! 

That's it for today!

Thanks for stopping by,
