Christmas Dove

Hi there! I have a pretty Christmas card to share with you today. 

This card uses Technique Junkies 'Christmas Dove'. 

The focal panel was stamped using a blue ink pad. After it dried, I added a bit of sparkle.

I think these turned out beautifully! If you don't own this stamp, you should add it to your collection!

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!

Class Kits

 Happy Satur-yay!

Hoping that your Thanksgiving was filled with blessings, good health, and pumpkin pie!

I have a few cards to share this morning. These were included in a recent kit that my BFF and I sent out to about 25 people.  I haven't made Shirley's kit yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post her three cards, as well. In the meantime, here's what I prepped and created:

This first card was a problem child to photograph, as the gold metallic mat and deer just shined so brightly! Each kit contained everything but adhesive.

Again, all pieces were included in kit. This may have been my favorite. I used a digi image from Beccy's Place. If you've never shopped there, you should! She has some great pre-colored images to choose from. I'm going to enter this card in her November challenge: Holiday themed, and created in November.

Last is this cute fun fold card. Who can resist a cute snow-person?

That's it for me today!  Have a great weekend, and I'll be back on the 1st!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.

Smallest Bell...

                                   Hi there!  Happy Thanksgiving from everyone at Technique Junkies!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share a beautiful card that I created, using some gorgeous November release products!

This card was another easy, clean and simple (CAS) card. To create this card, I used the new release Technique Junkies Jingle Bell Stencil, and 'SD1046 Joyful Jingle', from the October release. After cutting the panel to size, I placed the stencil over the panel, and applied Versamark Ink. I quickly sprinkled on some silver embossing powder, and used my heat gun to get this beautiful silver shine. To finish off this panel, I added a strip of Silver Washi Tape.  The sentiment was stamped onto the blue cardstock with Versamark Ink, and was heat embossed in silver, as well. This panel was then adhered to the focal panel.

Technique Junkies products make such beautiful cards!

A bit of pretty designer paper, a bit of masking, and a pretty sentiment. It really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. With the pandemic, this will be unlike any Christmas we have seen.  Dear hubby and I will be sending out a lot of cards this year, as many folks will need an extra smile or two this year.

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.
