Carved Relief Cards

Greetings, peeps! 

Lynda Joy here with a couple of cards using Technique Junkies lovely background stamp CARVED RELIEF.

Joyeux Noel....

I also used the Joyeux Noel stamp for the verse.

I embossed the CARVED RELIEF stamp with red embossing powder onto white card stock.  The Joyeux Noel was embossed in white onto red card stock.  I layered them together on an A2 card, with a red ribbon and buckle from my stash, and some Liquid Pearls dots.

Family and Friends.....

I stamped the CARVED RELIEF onto vellum and added it to the bottom of a red A2 card.  On the top portion of the card, I white embossed the Family and Friends verse from the Gifts of Christmas Set of 5 set.

A red ribbon and bow, and some white Liquid Pearl dots add the accents.

I hope you are inspired by my cards today, and have enjoyed the 30 Days of Christmas, and the November release stamps!

HOLLY JOLLY SPOTLIGHT CARD

Oh, these Christmas stamps! I have been having so much fun creating cards with them. And I am excited to share this spotlight card with you today. It's Toodle Noodle Ro with you today and this has to be one of my favorite sets for creating holiday cards. There are so many possibilities using the Christmas Whimsy Background Stamp (S814).  Take a look!

These spotlight cards are super easy to create. I decided to incorporate part of the image as part of the sentiment. This is how it all came together...

I stamped the background stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a piece of white CS, then trimmed it down. I lightly traced a circle in pencil where I wanted to the highlighted area to be. Inside the circle, I colored all the images in marker, then added a background with a colored pencil.

The matting panel was cut and punched using a decorative corner punch. I placed the stamped panel into the "frame", then attached that to my A2 card base. 

I added some Nuvo Glimmer Dots around the perimeter of the colored area, then added some computer generated text with some foam adhesive tape. 

There is also a great companion stamp to this set which features the tall snowman in a larger size called Snowman Whimsy (SD880).  As a matter of fact, there are a TON of Christmas stamps available. There are sure to be some that fall in love with, as I have with this set. 

AND...you can even save a little dough by using my very special code when you check out.

Treat yourself to a little fun! Happy Holidays!

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

30 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 30

Hello Junkies!!!!  

Can you believe it!  We have reached the end of our 30 Days of Christmas event. This is the last day and your final opportunity to grab any or all of the Technique Junkies Christmas Stamps for 20% off (they are already discounted...no code needed).  PLUS, if you add my personal discount code (TJ10CHERI) to your purchase, an additional 10% will come off your purchase of all TJ stamps in your cart.  That's a full 30% off TJ Christmas Stamps and 10% off all other stamps. 

Here's a super simple and easy card to make for the holidays... 

The one stamp I used for this card is "Vintage Botanical Holly".  You need to have a MISTI for this in order to stamp repeatedly in the same spot.  

Before stamping the holly image, I masked off the word "Holly" with a piece of scotch tape.  I then inked the rest of the image in a light blue dye ink, removed the scotch tape and stamped it onto my white card stock.  

I repeated this step until I was satisfied with the coverage I had of the holly.  I used a finger dauber to stamp a darker blue dye ink inside areas of the leaves.  

I completely cleaned the stamp and then using a red ink, I stamped the word. Again, using a finger dauber, I used a darker red to ink the word and moved the card on the MISTI, just a tiny bit and got a "shadow" effect.  

A warm gray Copic marker was used to create the shadow around the image.  I next outlined the holly branch with my white gel pen.  For a final touch, I sprayed the panel with Shimmering Bliss Spray Iridescent Topper (get the sprays for 10% off using my discount code).  I LOVE these sprays!!!! 

Once the panel was dry I die cut it, mounted onto a neutral card stock background then onto a card base.  For a final touch, I added red berries with a Viva Pearl Pen.  

I hope you found some inspiration here today and throughout the 30 Days of Christmas.  Don't forget to grab the Christmas stamps for 20% off and add an additional 10% off the Christmas stamps and other stamps and products from Technique Junkies Stamps using my personal discount code.

Christmas Beetle Van!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this image by Jan Tinklenberg

It's just so darned cute!!!!

I wanted to make a bit of a dimensional card and I had an idea to set it on a spring so it would wiggle just a little bit!!! Remember that song? Wiggle it, just a little bit? Was that the 80's?

Well this little bug is just a rockin'

I coloured the image with Prism Pencils for a softer look.

To create my scene, I  made a frame with my Frame Punch Board

Then, I cut some little tree from the  Sizzix Tim Holtz Christmas car set. 

They looked a little bland, so I added some Nuvo Drops in White

I created the Road Way with the Lane Die from IO Stamps. I created the background with a Star Panel Die (Source unknown) and lastly added some Polar Ice Flower Soft for some fluffy goodness.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on the red cardstock, and VOILA, I have a fun Christmas Creation.

Hope you enjoyed my card
