Shake, Rattle, and Roll

Howdy friends!

I'm back with a quick Halloween post, featuring some fun new stamps from Technique Junkies!

Hooray! - 15% off of all new release items until September 8th - no code needed, items will be discounted at checkout!  After today, you can save 10% using my code TJPatti10 to save 10%!

And here is the Gotta Have it All bundle for U.S.customers! 

Here is the Gotta Have it All bundle link for Canadian customers!

My cards today were easy ones!

The first card uses Dancing Skeletons and Shake, both from the September release at Technique Junkies. These will be 15% off through the end of the day today, September 8th. (The second sentiment in the Shake set says, 'Shake your bones'.  Pretty fun, right? I'm thinking that the grandkids will each get one in a different color this year.

Next up is a nice card, made with two new stamps from Technique Junkies' September release, Halloween Paintstroke, and Bare Branches. The Bare Branches was stamped with black ink onto an old book page that I first distressed. The sentiment was also stamped onto an old book page, then fussy cut and popped up onto the focal panel.

That's all I have for today!

Thanks so much for dropping by - it's so good to be blogging again!

Sending you smiles and blessings,

Have a Wicked Halloween

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. Halloween is going to be here before we know it, so today, I am sharing 2 cards featuring #S946 Halloween Doodles, from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

This card began by stamping the focal image with black Memento Ink, and coloring the entire panel with Copic Markers.  The panel was mounted onto tan cardstock. Last, the sentiment, #SD1047 Wicked Halloween was stamped onto a piece of dry embossed vellum, using Staz-On Ink. This piece was stapled to the card with a Tim Holtz Tiny Stapler.

Moving on to card two:

.

This was easy and quick. Everything was stamped onto Kraft, and layered together as shown. I used Versafine Black Ink so it would be a dark coverage. What a difference in the two cards!

Don't forget! Until September 8th, all new release items are 15% off! No code needed, they will be reduced during check-out.

So glad you stopped by today!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order except new release items, by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

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

Hugs and smiles,

Ghosties Night

Hello!

It's Release day at Technique Junkies! We have some great new fall stamps for you, and all of them are 15% off through Sept. 8th! No codes are needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout. 

Here is the Gotta Have it All Bundle, and a little preview of the new stamps:

Wow! It's time to be making those cards for Halloween and Fall recipients, already. I've had a bit of fun with the new seasonal stamps! I chose today, to post some Halloween Ghosts. Don't worry, they're pretty friendly - hope they make you smile!

Here is my first card:

For the first card, I stamped the entire Image #S934 Ghosties Night with black Versafine Ink, onto white cardstock. That focal panel was trimmed down, and adhered to a white mat. The focal panel was then adhered to a 5 x 7 black card base. The finishing touch was to add a sentiment. I chose 'Just Hi' from the #SS02b Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style B set, and heat embossed with white powder. I like the way this one turned out. Clean and simple!

And here is card number two:

This one was fun. I die cut a frame, and the BOO from black cardstock. The #S934 Ghosties Night was again stamped on white cardstock, but I chose to fussy cut 4 ghosts, and stick them into the window openings.  This card made me smile, but it needed something more than a solid white background, so I masked off the center, and spritzed the card front with Shimmering Bliss 'Chestnut Mare'. I wish you could see the pretty shimmer in real life!

So....which one is your favorite?

I hope you like these fun new release items, and can't wait for you to see the rest of this release!

Tic Tac Toe at The House that Stamps Built

 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:

My choice was Black Cats, Gate Fold Card, and Embossing.

Today, I used these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

2308 E Bats

2322 G Black Cat

1139 F Halloween

Here's my creation:

and here is a view with the gatefold opened up. The left side of the sentiment strip was adhered with two small pop dots, while the right was adhered with two small velcro dots. Prior to mailing, I will add a white panel to the inside for my message. One of the 'grands' will probably get this one!

This was pretty easy (once my brain cells kicked into gear)! I actually had to call my bestie, Shirley, for a gentle reminder on measurements for the gatefold! 

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!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps challenge at The House that Stamps Built, and we have a new Designer’s Choice Challenge for you. Our hostess for the month is Joy, and she has challenged us to use 'Circles' on our creations! Please join us in our challenge, and create something using the theme: "Circles".  (Think card shape, focal panels, embellishments, background, etc.)

2305 E Cobweb

2316 G Boo!

2319 I Haunted Tree

For my card, I started with a white card base, and added sponged on circles in Halloween-ish colors. Added a few fun stamps to create an eerie (lol...too cute to spook, right?) scene, and finished the card off with a circle sentiment.
