Flip Flops

Hello crafty friends!

I'm here to share a couple of fun cards made with stamps from Technique Junkies' new release!

Raise your hands if you love your flip flops!

Yep, me too!

Well, today's post is all about those flip flops!

I have two cards to share today. Both cards showcase Flip Flops Background', and The Glass Slipper, both from the new June 2024 Technique Junkies release.

For my first card, I used an OLD ink pad - a Kaleidacolor pad.

Do you still have any of those ink pads?

I still own 8, and all are still inky! 

Oops, I digressed! I stamped the background with the fun 'old' ink pad, trimmed the image, and matted it on hot pink. I added some tiny bling of different colors. I then stamped the sentiment with black ink, BUT....I stamped again, using the Kaleidacolor ink pad, and giving the sentiment a shadow with pops of color!

Isn't this a fun, happy card?

This was an easy one to create, and I can't wait to drop it in the mail.

Next, I took 4 strips of different colors of cardstock, and stamped the background with black ink. I trimmed the image and adhered it to a white card base. The next step was to add silver Stickles to each flip flop. Once the Stickles dried, the sentiment was stamped in black ink on white cardstock, and popped up with dimensional foam.

Another easy, quick, happy card! Now we just need the rain to go away, and the sun to stay out for a while, right?

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!

Flip Flop Memories

 Hello!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 cards to share today, using a couple of fun new stamps, #SDX191 Flip Flop Memories, and #SD1102 At the Beach Border from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

The beach scene was stamped and colored with Copic Markers, prior to framing it up with some 'sandy' looking designer paper from my stash. The sentiment was stamped onto the 'hill'. A cute sunny die cut finished this one off nicely.

And here is card number two:

For this card, my backgrounds were made by stamping #S747 Sudsy Stuff with some blue inks. After stamping the background, I sprayed a light coating of Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss over the panels. A couple of fun die cuts, and the fun flip flop sentiment make this one a winner!

These were both fun to make - I'm having a lot of fun with this release!

So glad you stopped by today!

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!

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.

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

Stays at the Beach

Hello out there!

It's Fri-yay!

I have a sweet Technique Junkies card to share with you today using one of the fun July stamp sets 'Stays at the Beach'. The set includes both the image and the sentiment. I've framed this adorable set with another new July stamp, 'Floral Card Frame'. Other items used are the 'Currents' A Colorful Life Stencil, and 'Bubble Flow', a stamp from the June release.

First, the 'Floral Card Frame' was stamped. I masked off the frame at the border, and the backtround was stenciled, and stamped with 'Bubble Flow. 'Stays at the Beach' was then stamped, and all images were colored with Copic Markers. A fine layer of blue sparkly tulle was added to the back of the focal panel prior to adhering the panel to a blue card base. Used some Glossy Accents to add a bit of shine to things, and voila!  Done!

Hope you like these stamps as much as I do!  If you need a sweet card, this is it!

Don't forget - you can still take advantage of the 15% off sale until July 8th, AND you can use my discount code below, as well!

Tic-Tac-Toe for July

I'm back with a new Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for Repeat Impressions.

9006 E Aglow with good times

9002 A Lightning Bug

9011 L Lightning Bug Jar

Isn't it fun how this folds flat and fits in a standard A-2 envelope?
