This is Judy Jackson, greeting you on yet another Technique Junkie Design Team Blog Hop. This Blog Hop is featuring the nine Annual TJ CDs. But wait -- did you know that each Annual CD includes BONUS techniques that were NOT published in the TJ Newsletter? And that the ONLY way to get to learn these techniques is to own the Annual CD?
Before I start to describe the four cards made from different TJ techniques from the very FIRST Annual CD I want to tell you just a little about myself. I had discovered rubber stamping and scrapbooking about three - fours years before I retired from teaching elementary school. I fell in love with these two crafts. I took lots of classes and learned a lot from a variety of places. I no longer considered myself a beginning stamper. We moved from near Albany, New York to south central Pennsylvania. I knew I "had" to find stamping and scrapping friends - and I did that. But I also knew I had to find a regular source of affordable inspiration of techniques for stamping and scrapping. I poked around on the internet after we had moved. I found Pat Huntoon and the newsletter -- TECHNIQUE JUNKIE! I subscribed for only six months -- 3 issues. I had been very disappointed in some other magazines and I wanted to be sure before I committed my money. In the first issue I was hooked and I have never looked back. If you like my hand stamped cards -- please know some of my greatest technique inspiration has come from the Technique Junkie Newsletter. Have I learned from any where else? Absolutely! So if you are wondering is buying these CD's worth the money, I can assure that YES IT IS!
My first card features the lovely Saran Wrap Technique which is a Bonus technique on CD 1. The stamps used are Stampavie stamps which are available from Classy Cards 'n Such .
My second card uses the Tapestry Technique from CD1. Stamp credits belong to Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. This is a brand new set.
My third card uses the UTTE Tiles from the first CD. The stamps used are Stampavie stamps which are available from Classy Cards 'n Such.
My fourth and last card features the Antiqued Vellum technique -- another Bonus technique on CD 1. Stamp credits belong to Inkadinkado and Stampin' Up!
On the cards where I colored in the focal image I used Copic markers.
Today's cards are in celebration of the Annual Technique
