Wildflower Hiking Boots

  Hello!

It's August 1st - Release day at Technique Junkies! We have some awesome new stamps for you, and all of them are 15% off through August 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:

I fell pretty hard for this stamp! I was a teenager in the late 60's - early 70's, and this stamp SO reminds me of my hippie days. I so wish I had a photo to share, but we lost all photos from that era in 1980 when our house burned.  Anyway....this #SD1122 Wildflower Hiking Boots stamp stole my heart this month!  The sentiment I used, also from the new release is: #SDX196 World Reveals Itself.

To create this card, I stamped the focal image onto a scrap of white card stock, and colored it with Copics. Next, I fussy cut the image, and set it aside.  I took another piece of white CS, and stamped #S417 Cotton Lawn in a pale green ink, trimmed the panel, leaving a tiny white edge, and adhered it to a craft card base.  Next, I stamped the sentiment #SDX196 World Reveals Itself in brown ink, in the center top of the green panel. To finish the card, I added some dimensional dots to the back of the circular image, and adhered it to the base.

Here is another card made with the same stamps as above. I love using the stamps in different ways!

This was truly a 10 minute creation!

I folded my A2 card base, and added a piece of fabulous patterned paper. The image and sentiment were both stamped onto the patterned paper using brown ink.  Isn't this divine???

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!

Mornin' on the Farm

Hello!

I have a fun card to share today! This card features a new release stamp from Technique Junkies, #S775 Mornin' on the Farm. The sentiment is from an older release, #SD580 A Good Friend.

Here's my card:

I've been seeing a lot of this fold on the internet lately, and decided to try my hand at one. It's called several different things, but the majority pop up when you look for bay window cards. Each one is a bit different, so I found 3 or 4 that I like, and adapted measurements and things to work like I wanted, and this card was the end result!

To make the card front, the image was stamped, colored and ink blended with Ink Blending Brushes and Distress Oxide Inks, and then cut into the appropriate sized strips to create the panels.

This post is a bit photo heavy, but I couldn't get all of the image to show nicely in one photo, so you're stuck with several!

Another view, showing the cute little cottage.

Final photo, showing the card folded flat to fit into an A-2 envelope. 

That's all for today.

I sure have enjoyed this June release, and can't wait to share next month's stamps! Hope you see something you like!

So glad you stopped by today!

Butterfly Flourish Collage

 Hello!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 cards to share today, using a couple of fun new stamps, #S915 Butterfly Flourish Collage, and #SS136 Lighthouse Sentiments from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

Isn't this a gorgeous stamp? The focal panel was stamped by rubbing some Distress Oxide inks over the stamp, and stamping. I took a baby wipe after stamping, and smoothed out/blended the colors together. The sentiment is stamped with black Versafine ink on colored cardstock. The sentiment is from another new release stamp set #SS136 Lighthouse Sentiments. There is something in this sentiment set for everyone on your card list!

And here is card number two:

Goodness, I wish you could see this card in real life. It's an 'oooh and aaahhh' card, if ever there was one! The panels were stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with Speckled Egg Embossing Glaze. Jaw dropping gorgeous!

Hopefully, this photo shows the glaze a bit better.

The sentiment for this card is from the #SS02b Simple Sentiments, Set 2, Style b set.

These were both fun to make - golly, I love this July release!

So glad you stopped by today!

Be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out this incredible release!

Flip Flop Memories

 Hello!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 cards to share today, using a couple of fun new stamps, #SDX191 Flip Flop Memories, and #SD1102 At the Beach Border from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

The beach scene was stamped and colored with Copic Markers, prior to framing it up with some 'sandy' looking designer paper from my stash. The sentiment was stamped onto the 'hill'. A cute sunny die cut finished this one off nicely.

And here is card number two:

For this card, my backgrounds were made by stamping #S747 Sudsy Stuff with some blue inks. After stamping the background, I sprayed a light coating of Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss over the panels. A couple of fun die cuts, and the fun flip flop sentiment make this one a winner!

These were both fun to make - I'm having a lot of fun with this release!

So glad you stopped by today!
