Increasing in Value

 Hi there!

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog.  

I have a pretty card to share today, using the 'S882 Spring Flowers' background stamp. What a lovely stamp this is to work with - just look at all of the details! This card also features a new release sentiment 'SDX182 Increasing in Value'.

The image was stamped first on a white cardstock panel. I used 'A Colorful Life Cloud Edger Stencil' to create a bit of sky prior to coloring the panel. All coloring was done with Copic markers. The image was actually stamped on both the focal panel, and again on another panel. Each panel was colored, then  I fussy cut the larger flowers and popped them up over top of the first stamped image. Once the card was completed, I used Glossy Accents on the larger flowers, then stamped, matted, and adhered the sentiment to the card front.



I've enjoyed this March release! Hope you have too!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Sing Your Song!

 

This slim line card is 8 1/2 inches long.  I scored it at 3 7/8 since it was 7 3/4 inches wide before  scoring.  I stamped Every Bird 3 times and watercolored them.  I embossed the verse from the stamp set for Every Bird.  I die cut 3 green vellum wreaths for the 3 windows.  

 When you use the code TJ10Judy, you save another 10% off of your total order!!
And don't forget the New March stamps Bundle -- it is 20% off! That is a savings of $26. 05! And you can use the code TJ10Judy and get another 10%. What a deal!


Have a great day and get inky!

Ride a Horse

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I have a monochromatic horse card to share with y'all.  I used stamps from the new To Ride a Horse set for both the background and the main image.  It's easy to create your own background by repeatedly stamping a sentiment to fill the card.  I used some kraft ink and stamped the Ride to Live sentiment over and over until I filled out the background kraft card layer.  I then stamped the gorgeous horse relief on another piece of kraft cardstock and centered it over my background.

Please feel free to use my code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You will save 10% off your order, which means you can buy more stamps!  :-)

Vivid Volt Every Bird

 


What is it about this chubby little bird? So sweet! My bird was colored with Copic Markers and layered over the dotted blooms stamp, which was stamped in turquoise and sprayed with Vivid Volt Shimmering Bliss. Doesn't this make you happy?

Floral Moose in the Pine Forest

Hello!  My name is Tracy Shultz and I am sharing with you a cool card that I created featuring the Floral Moose and Thank You Stamps. This fun card is easy to make, so I hope that you will give it a try!


I created a short video explaining how I made the card on my YouTube Channel:

The stamps that I used:
Floral Moose (SD1078): https://techniquejunkies.com/floral-moose/
Thank you (SDX132): https://techniquejunkies.com/thank-you/

I am happy to share with you my discount code for 10% off your order at Technique Junkies: TJ10Tracy

The first thing that I did was heat emboss the Floral Moose using black embossing powder. I then used my Scan n Cut to cut the Stamped image.

Love how the flowers really POP off the black background of this silhouette stamp


Next, I grabbed my pine forest 3D embossing folder, put a piece of paper inside, and ran it through my Big Kick die cutting machine. This is a big embossing folder, size 5" x 7", so I had to trim it down to 4" x 5.25"

Next, using distress oxide inks, I ink blended the embossed card stock using these three colors: Speckled Egg, Iced Spruce and Rustic Wilderness. I used foam tape to pop my moose up on the front of my card panel. I stamped the sentiment using Catherine Pooler Midnight Archival Ink. I adhered the panel to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5")  green card base.  

Thanks so much for visiting the Design Junkies Blog!

Better With Wine

 

Hello friends!  I hope you like getting inky because today's card is all about ink blending.  Using Rich Razzelberry and distress oxide festive berries, I blended the two colours so that there would be spots of dark and light.  After it dried completely, I embossed Dotted Blooms in white and Better with Wine.

Distress oxides in tumbled glass and peacock feathers were used to create my background.  Curved dies were used to cut the upper and lower edging.  


 For those of you who are new, you can grab my code above, to get your 10% off your entire order.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Foiled Blooms - Floral Moose

 

This Floral Moose is a fun way to celebrate spring! Our foiled background uses the Showy Blooms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs with Transfer Gel Duo, and our moose's florals were simply colored with markers to match.

Without change...

 


This is a great thing to remember when you are going through a hard time - it will all be worth it in the end. I guess it was what the whole last year was about, right? Growing and Changing? Selected words were traced with Kaisercraft Glitter Gel Pens and the background is the Delicate Doodles stamp that was foiled using the Heidi Swapp Toner Kit.
