Help???

 Hi there, blogging friends!

I am hoping that you can help me this a.m. I got a new IPad several months ago. Since then, I’m having some commenting issues.  Here’s my problem:

When I comment from my desktop, my profile photo shows up, along with my blogger info.

When I comment from my IPad, the ‘shadow’ type photo pops up, and my comments don’t seem to post to the blog.  I’ve spent countless hours leaving comments on many of your blogs, but when I go look later, there are no comments showing from me.

So, if you think I have abandoned you, not true!

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I’m not an Apple person, so will welcome your thoughts. I did load the Blogger app last night, but it didn’t seem to help.

Thanks in advance, and have a blessed day!

Don't Judge Me

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share one beautiful background stamp used two ways, using some of the wonderful September release products!

These cards feature an awesome new background stamp, Leaves and Dragonflies.

This first card front was stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I chose a pretty green ink, and using my Ink Blending Brushes, I blended the ink over the entire panel.  The sentiment, 'Heaven in Our Hearts', was stamped with the green ink.

For this card, the same background was used. I used the Ink Blending Brushes to blend on some really vibrant ink colors, then using the Ink Blending Brushes again, I blended some gray over the entire panel. Finally, I blended some black around the edges. The sentiment, 'Mile on my Broom', was heat embossed on vellum using a Medieval Metals embossing powder, and adhered to a piece of cardstock. This circle of cardstock was popped up, and some black ink blended around the outside edge.

These cards were both very easy to make, but look difficult! Technique Junkies background stamps make such awesome cards!  

This September release is amazing! Can't wait to share more!

Technique Junkies September New Release Blog Hop

Hello!

We have some awesome new stamps in the Technique Junkies line, and we are so eager to share them with you today!

All of the September 2020 New Release stamps are 15% off through September 8th! We all love a bargain, for sure! No codes needed, just put these stamps in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

Today, I wanted to share several cards I made using stamps from the September 2020 Technique Junkies release. 

For this card, I've used Modern Circles (set of 9) and Beautiful Mandala

The circles and Mandala were stamped with Versamark ink, and embossed in silver.

The Mandala was fussy cut, and adhered over skinny washi tape 'ornament strings'.

'Ink Blending Brushes' were used to 'color' the ornaments, and the ornament 'tops' were just a scrap of silver glitter cardstock. A tiny bow finished this card up nicely!

I used the split card technique on these two cards. One card front was stamped with Versamark and the Modern Circles, and embossed with black embossing powder on white cardstock. The second card front was embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock. The cards were cut exactly the same, using half white cardstock and half black cardstock for each card front. The two halves were matched up and adhered to the card base. The sentiment was from Five Fab Phrases from the May 2020 release.

Here is another card made with the Beautiful Mandala. This was stamped repeatedly with dark brown ink, and colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the August release, Celebrate Diversity.

I hope these pretty cards brings you some smiles and inspire you to use your stamps in different ways. I love using one stamp set in totally unique ways!  Now, let's Hop!!!

Gluestick

Hello out there!

Happy Fri-yay...thanks for stopping by!

I have a very easy, fun Technique Junkies card to share with you today using a wonderful August release stamp, 'Gluestick'.

This first card was fun to make! I stamped 'Stencil Rings' onto a white panel, and colored the rings with an assortment of Copic markers. This panel was adhered to a gray mat, then a red card base. The sentiment 'Gluestick' was stamped with a Kaleidacolor Ink pad, and matted with gray, white, and red, and adhered to card. 'Eye Rolling' was then stamped with pink and black inks, mounted on gray, and adhered to 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!

Paint the World

Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to a pretty card made with some of the wonderful August release products!

This card uses an awesome new background stamp, 'World Compass'. I stamped the sentiment from the new set 'Celebrate Diversity' on the white focal panel, then stamped the image using Versamark Ink, and embossing with white embossing powder onto another white panel. Using the 'Ink Blending Brushes', I blended some Distress Oxide ink onto the image. The layers were adhered together, and mounted onto a Kraft card base.

I love making cards that are so very easy, but look difficult! Technique Junkies background stamps make such an awesome card!  

This August release has been amazing! Wait until you see the September release!

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

This were so easy to create, and perfect for the turmoil in our world today! Hope you will take a look at this wonderful sentiment set!
