Pile of Leaves

Hello creative friends!

I'm here on the Technique Junkies blog to share two pretty cards featuring items from from the Technique Junkies new release. 

Here's what I created:

For this first card, I stamped the background, #S941 Pile of Leaves with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with gold powder onto black cardstock.  I then stamped #SS138 Leaf Corner Sentiments, set of 3 and heat embossed in gold onto craft cardstock. Using an Ink Blending Brush, I distressed the sentiment panel a bit prior to matting with black cardstock. The sentiment panel was popped up on the card base with dimensional foam pieces.

Here is my 2nd card:

I love the way this card looks! The image was stamped once, the cardstock turned around, and stamped again, creating a lovely frame around the sentiment. I chose a greenish tan color of cardstock, and heat embossed everything using Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness Embossing Glaze. The pieces were assembled, and a tiny twine bow was added.

What a fun release to work with! 

These were both fun to create - I've so enjoyed this release!

So glad you stopped by today!

Always Something...

Hello!

I have 2 pretty, fall cards to share today!  

Here's my first card:

This card features #S912 Leaf Collage, and #SD1048 Always Thankful.

My background was a simple 'smooshing' technique. I made a smear of light blue ink, spritzed it, and drug my cardstock into it, until I liked the finished look. The sentiment was popped up with some foam dots prior to adhering to focal panel.  I love this sentiment - this is how I try to look at each day, thus my blog name!

For this card, I used a pretty fall colored ink, and again, smooshed #S912 Leaf Collage until I liked the effect. The sentiment 'SD799 Art of God', was popped up on foam prior to adhering to the focal image.

So glad you stopped by today!

Shimmer and Shine

Hello!

So glad you dropped in to see me today!

It's time for a new challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Our challenge for this week is to use a 'Shimmer and Shine' theme on our cards.

What a fun theme! I can't wait to see your Shimmer and Shine!

Here's what I created for this challenge:

Sadly, it seems I always need a sympathy card. I decided to use a much hoarded piece of shimmery cardstock for this card. This was an easy one. I stamped the sentiment, mounted it onto gold cardstock, and assembled my layers...ta da, ta done.

I used this lovely Repeat Impressions' stamp:

4023 F Sending You Love

Let's see your 'Shimmer and Shine' projects!! Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, but if you do, you have double the chance of winning!

I can't wait to see your beautiful scene cards!!!

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!

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!
