Zen Wisdom

I created this card using the Hillside Pines stamp; the variation in shading is so amazing, you can use just one shade of ink for super results!  It's such a versatile image too; I paired it with a now out-of-stock TJ sentiment and embossed with falling snow, but it would look just as great with any of the Rain Sentiments and raindrop embossing.  Get these stamps at TechniqueJunkies.com and use my code TJ10Faith for 10% off your order!

Advice from a Dog

Hello. Jeanette here with another card featuring a dog stamp. This one is especially fun because it gives some great advice for life. The stamp is appropriately called Advice from a Dog.

I really try to take some of this advice to heart. For instance - Play Daily. I do that. And my form of play is card-making. Who wants to join me?

Thanks for stopping by today!

Falling In Love At The Beach | Valentine's Day Card | Beach Card

 

Hey y'all.  So, the holidays are over.  Time to put those Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year stamps to the side and make cards for love - falling in love at the beach this summer,  an anniversary, maybe a wedding, or for Valentine's Day.  

Summer is right around the corner and lots of people will fall in love at the beach this year so...let's make a card to celebrate summer love.  I used Love Harlequin as my background and Stays At The Beach as my focal image.  I also had a stash of adhesive hearts that went perfectly with the card. 

Let's make the card...

• I made a top-folding A2 card using red cardstock.
• I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the inside of the card for a message.
• I stamped Love Harlequin on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to the card front.
• Next, I stamped Stays at the Beach, die-cut it using a circle die, colored in the image, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.  
• Lastly, I adhered glossy accents to the water droplets near the hears, and the adhesive hearts to the background image.

This Too Shall Pass

 

A friend from my book club is in need of some cheering up, so I thought this funny bookmark would do the trick.  I stamped the Woman Waiting Panel on cream cardstock and added the front and back sentiments from Inside Out: Live Forever.  Mounted on gold cardstock, encased in clear packing tape and added ribbons for the pulls.  Get these fun stamps at techniquejunkies.com and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!

Never Stop Flying

 Hey Crafty Friends - 

I am sharing two cards I created using the Never Stop Flying stamp set. This is a beautiful image with a powerful sentiment. 

For both cards I paired it with a few of my favorite pieces of patterned paper. I stamped the image, colored it with alcohol makers and fussy cut it out. 

For this card I added the stamped image to the center of a heart cut from a die. I added a few gold pearls to embellish the card. 

Here is an up close picture of the stamped and colored image. I added a few white accents on the wings of each card using a white gel pen. 

I stamped the sentiment on a lighter piece of card stock and popped it up with 3D foam tape. 

 I heat embossed this sentiment white as well as added a few pink rhinestones to embellish.

                Merry Be Your Christmas

However you celebrate the holidays I hope it is all you want it to be.  Maybe it’s a quiet day at home in your craft room sipping a nice beverage listening to music.  Or maybe it is spent with family and friends.  However you spend it - I hope it’s a relaxing day for you.

This card came together fairly easy.  Take a look at your pretty papers or background stamps.  I had some holly paper so I grabbed a piece of that, wrapped some cotton string around one side, layered with red behind it and put that on a brown (kraft) card base.

I found the stars at a dollar store and I used miscellaneous holiday shapes behind my sentiment.  Don’t overthink it.  Rummage around and see what you’ve got and use it.  Three strips of red glitter card stock would look perfect behind the sentiment too. 

And to finish this you could add a few little gems, glitter, or nuevo drops if you think it needs something extra.
