Pic of the Week at The House That Stamps Built - Fun Fold Card!

 Hi everyone!

It's my turn to once again share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I picked to showcase are:

1919 G I Love You Beary

1015 L Polar Bear Kisses

2011 D Mistletoe

Here's what I made!  My dear hubby loves Polar Bears, so this will be his Christmas card this year (shhhhhh.......must swear you all to secrecy). 

 Everyone has probably been just like me - used this fold many times, but long ago, and long forgotten!  So here is a gentle refresher for those who HAVE made this design, and a tutorial for those who have not yet tried it!

Let's get started!

For the card base, you will need a piece of cardstock that is 8.5" x 5.'" 

Score with the long edge at the top of your scoring board at 4.25".

Here is what your folded base looks like, so far.

Next, measure up 2.75", and make a tiny pencil mark.

Where the point of my bone folder is, you see a tiny black mark - that is my pencil mark.

Next, using scissors or your paper trimmer, cut from outside edge in to the score line. This is what your card base looks like opened up.

Adhere a piece of patterned paper to the inside panel of your card base. This should measure 4" x 5.25".

Next, close your front flap, and add a piece of coordinating patterned paper measuring 2.5" x 4".

Now, open your card back up, and adhere one or two panels for your message or additional stamping. As you can see, I used two panels, measuring 2.5" x 4".  I took a tiny strip of the plaid paper, and added it to the top edge of the page with the bells, just for a little break in the pattern.

Decide what you want to use for your focal panel, and create it. You can use a square, circle, oval, rectangle, or even a pretty die cut. I chose to use these three fun stamps, and make a sweet scene. Be sure when you adhere the panel to your card, that you only apply adhesive to the lower part of your panel, or you will glue your card shut!  (ask me how I know this...)

Here is a photo of what your finished card will look like on the inside after you adhere your focal panel.

Hope you like this - Give it a try!

 For this week only (November 16 - November 22, 2020), get 20% off the three stamps used in my creation above when you use the coupon code POTW111620.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs and blessings,

Advice from The Forest

  Hello!

It's my day to post here on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share three fun cards that I created, using some gorgeous November release stamps!

This first card front was stamped with a beautiful cinnamon colored ink, using 'S878 Woodland Wonders'. The panel was trimmed, and adhered to a card base. The sentiment 'SD1049 Advice from the Forest' was stamped on another piece of Kraft, trimmed, matted, and adhered to the card front panel. Ta-da, and Ta-done - clean and simple card!

The next card was also super easy. I cut a panel for the front of my card, and used the 'A Colorful Life 'Paws' Stencil', and some tan ink.  In the center of this panel, I stamped 'SD1049 Advice from the Forest' in brown ink, and cut it out of the center of the panel. The focal panel was matted and adhered to the background panel. Another quick card! 

Last up was this clean and simple (CAS) card, created with the 'S878 Woodland Wonders', and a great sentiment set 'SS02b Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b'. Image and sentiment were both stamped with brown ink, matted, and adhered to card base. 

Technique Junkies stamps ink up beautifully, and make such nice cards!  

This November release is amazing! So glad I could share it with you!

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

Always Thankful

 Hi there!

I have a Technique Junkies card to share today, using lovely November release sentiment stamp, #SD1048, Always Thankful.  I love this sentiment - it speaks so true. No matter how bad your day is, something good always comes out of it.

To create this card, I used the 'A Colorful Life' 'Skeleton Leaf' Stencil, and sprayed the stencil onto a 5 x 7 card base with Technique Junkies 'Chestnut Mare' Shimmering Bliss. I then used the stencil and spray on a white card panel. The sentiment was stamped with brown ink on a white panel that was gently 'distressed' with an Ink Blending Brush. Once the panel was finished, I 'drug' it through the leftover spray, coating each edge. This card shimmers so nicely!

Technique Junkies stamps make such beautiful cards! 

This November  release is amazing! So glad I could share it with you!  Remember, these release images are 15% off through November 8th (this will automatically be taken off at checkout).  AND, you may take an additional 10% off by using my code, TJ10Patti.

Designer Choice Challenge at The House that Stamps Built

 Hi there, crafty friends!

It's time for another Repeat Impressions Stamps Designer's Choice challenge at The House that Stamps Built. Heather is our hostess this month. She has challenged the team to 'use pumpkins' on our cards this week!  

Here's what I made using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

3214 G Thanksgiving Blessings

514 I Prize Pumpkin

I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the Prize Pumpkin 3 times. Found some pretty new designer paper and layered it on. Stamped the Sentiment between the layers, and added the pumpkins. The top pumpkin is adhered using pop dots for some dimension. Why, oh why, didn't I think to add a cute twine bow?  Oh, well...next time!

This was a fun challenge, and I hope you'll all join in! Get those Repeat Impressions' stamps out, and get started on your 'Recycled Item' cards!!!

 We hope you will create a card that has a focus on today’s DCC theme, and enter it in our challenge 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!

Technique Junkies November Release Blog Hop

Happy NOVEMBER Release Day! 

We have New Stamps and stencils in the Technique Junkies line! 

This month we are proud to offer 2 new Technique Junkies stencils, also!

Here's what I made:

This card uses #SD1054 Love, Laughter and Coffee, and #S887 Coffee Stains.

I made the background by stamping on Kraft Cardstock. The coffee mug was actually a TINY die that I punched out, laid on my copier and enlarged until it was big enough to hold the sentiment. I cut it our of white cardstock, used some masking and ink blending brushes to create the center section, then stamped the sentiment. The lid was enlarged, cut out, scored, and adhered to the top of the coffee cup. Love the way this one turned out!

This next card was created with #SD1055 French Script Ballerina, and #SDX180 Dreaming with your feet. The image was stamped onto white cardstock, then masked off. Once masked, I used the Shining Star Stencil from the October release. Then, using the same ink color and the Ink Blending Brushes, I blended the panel and card base, prior to removing the mask. Voila!

Be sure to check out the list below for some sweet inspiration from our Design Team!
