Calorie Refund
Hi there!
It's my day to post here on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!
My first card uses 'SD1065 Calorie Refund' and 'S890 Whimsical Coffee Background'. I couldn't get a good photo of this, even with my OTT light, but the background is stampd with brown ink, on kraft cardstock, and there are several places that I've colored in with a red marker. Perhaps clicking on it to enlarge it may show the coloring. The sentiment was stamped in black ink, and highlighted in gray Copic marker. The 'calorie items' were colored with Copic Markers and some glossy accents were added for yummy shine. Again, the photo doesn't show how yummy these look. Some days are just like that, right???
Here's another fun card. This focal panel 'SD1070 It Takes a Village', was stamped with a wine colored ink. The 'glass' portions were colored with Copic markers, and covered with glossy accents for a look of real glass. The panel was then distressed with a touch of distress ink. The background is a piece of beautiful patterned paper. I already have a recipient in mind for this one!
Don't forget that the January 'Gotta Have it All' Bundle is $94.80. Normally, this would be $126.30 - what a great deal! Here's what you'll get:

Pretty Lipstick
Hello, Stamping Peeps! I've been busy busting this blustery weather with some fun me time in my craft room. What better way to get through the winter doldrums! I had so much fun creating the card I have for you today. I used a couple of OBG (oldie but goodie) stamps along with a Colorful Life stencil to put together this card:
 |
| No-One Will Notice (SD1003) Red Lipstick Day (SD687) |
I started by creating an A2 card base (a great place to start, right?) and added a metallic blue piece of cardstock. On a piece of white cardstock, using my MISTI, I stamped both the sentiment and the image, then trimmed down the panel. Using some Pixie Spray (where would I be without this stuff!), I placed my stencil over my panel and began inking the areas around the sentiment and image using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I was careful to leave my stamped areas un-stenciled. I added some of the Distress Ink to the edges of the panel, then colored in the image. I went over some of the words in the sentiment, along with a couple elements in the image, using my favorite Kaisercraft Gel Pens. I attached the panel to the front of my card and added a couple baubles for interest.
I love how the card turned out and can't wait to send it to one of my friends!

The Java Jive
I don't drink coffee. Neither does my sister. Our brother will drink coffee 3-4 times a year. Our older brother drank coffee every morning, and drank iced tea the rest of the day. We all drink iced tea. I think this is strange because both of our parents drank coffee all day long. Once in a while they would drink water. But coffee was their beverage of choice for the most part. I drink hot tea in the morning and about noonish I switch to iced tea with lemon. But I know a lot of people who LOOOVVEE coffee and they drink it all day long.
To create this card I used Whimsical Coffee Background, the coffee pot from Coffee Quotes, Java Jive, and the Coffee Bean stencil with Harvest Sunset Shimmering Bliss. I used Pixie spray to hold the stencil in place.

Valentine Heart Wishes
Hi Junkies! It's Holly posting today, and I've got a fun Valentine's card to share with you. I used two new stamps from Technique Junkies on this card - Valentine Wishes and Valentine Heart Border. First, I stamped the Valentine Heart Border all over the background with red ink. Then I stamped the Valentine Wishes with black ink, cut that out with a circle die, and used a red Copic marker to color in the sentiment. I cut a larger scallop circle from black cardstock and adhered the Valentine Wishes to the center of the card. This is such a fun and easy Valentine card!

Snarky Mouth
I almost think this Woodstock Girl stencil from A Colorful Life Designs was made for this sentiment! Don't we all have a little problem holding things in sometimes? I know I do (occasionally). The background was created using a Distress Oxide dip technique and the stencil and My Mouth image were placed right over the dried colorful cardstock.
