Internet Browser, Sprinkle All Day, Op Art


Hello!

I have two fun cards to share with you today using stamps from Technique Junkies (new and old release items).

This card uses Op Art, and Sparkle All Day.  The stamp was inked using distress oxide inks, spritzed with water, and the focal panel smooshed down onto the wet color.
I love glitter....just sayin'!



This card also uses 'Op Art', and distress inks, with normal ink and stamp technique.
This fun sentiment 'Internet Browser' was written just for me!  

Don't forget....

WWDB Card 2!

Hey everyone! 

I'm back with another card for the What We Do Best challenge! Click HERE for details!  But, just in case you haven't heard, Technique Junkies is doing a four week challenge, with a different theme each week, and awarding a $50 gift certificate to the Technique Junkies shop.  While it's fun to win some prizes, remember that crafting is also a good way to pass the time during this social distancing period. Making cards is a perfect way to thank hospital staff, police and fire fighters, EMT's, postal workers, grocery store workers! 

Here is my second card made for this challenge:


And here it is with matching envelope!



I used Technique Junkies' Calendula' stamp. I masked off the center of the panel, and stamped the image. After removing the mask, a die cut sentiment was adhered, as were two skinny strips of glittery Washi tape, and black cardstock.

Hope you like it! I'm thinking this one may go to the post office. Our ladies in the local office are overworked, underappreciated, and now, with talk of USPS being closed down, they are quite blue. 

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.
The sun is shining beautifully here in MO., at least for another 2-3 hours when the rain blows in! Enjoy your day!  I woke up at 4:12 a.m., put both feet on the floor and everything worked! It's a good day - I'm feelin' blessed!

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.

A few cards to share...

Howdy, folks!

So, I have a few cards to share today that we needed 'just because'.  We just mailed out 96 cards to people in our church, and elsewhere, that we were thinking about with this awful virus going around. Sadly, we also lost a family member last week, and I needed some sympathy cards.

Here are a few of the cards that I made.

I'm entering this in the Scor-Pal challenge this month. The theme is 'Flowers', and of course, more than one fold.



And here are a few more...

These first two use stamps from Stanpin'Up.


And these two use a gorgeous set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.
I'm going to enter them in the April challenge in the Sweet 'n Sassy VIP Facebook Group - the challenge is to use pastel colors. I sponged with some pastel colors, then stamped the image repeatedly. On both cards, I had a major OOPS after the card was entirely finished, so I quickly added some birds from my stash.


That's it for today!
Hope your weekend is wonderful - it's a lovely day here in MO!

Hugs,
Patti J.

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to share a card using one of the April new release stamps, 'Tail in the Air'. 

Isn't he just the cutest ever? I actually stamped this image first on the white focal panel, then on patterned paper, fussy cutting it. I adhered the image with dimensional foam dots, and decided it needed more dimention, so stamped once more and popped up just the head.

The Ribbon Tab Technique from the December 2012/January 2013 issue of the Technique Junkies Newsletter was used to give this cute dude a bit of sass!
