Starry Happy New Year

  

I thought I might send 2022 out with a bang and a lot of sparkle with this blingy New Years card made with the Technique Junkies Starry Happy New Year stamp It's a quick and simple card with a ton of sparkle from black glitter background paper, holographic mat, and watercolor paper decorated with Nuvo Shimmer Powder and embossed to a shine!  Process video below.

Ringing in the New Year

It is almost 2023 and I am happy to send 2022 out the door! I decided to share this creation that I made with one of my favorite things to do. I love to use Brushes watercolor pigment powders. For this creation, I used a watercolor piece of paper and randomly dabbed the powders in blue and green on with a dry watercolor brush and then spritzed with water. Simple and quick!

I stamped it with Starry Happy New Year. Head over to Technique Junkies and use my code TJ10Pam.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

Hello Junkies!  

Today I stepped (more of a creep than a leap) outside my comfort zone.  When I think Navy I usually think silver.   I've seen a lot of other card makers using gold with Navy.  I was inspired to give it try.  I have to say I LOVE it!  What do you think?  Do you have color hangups?

A few of my favorites from 2022

Pam here again today! I wanted to share 2 of my favorites this year.

My first card is showcasing the Side Butterfly and I think it pairs beautifully with this paper and the sentiment is from Simple Sentiments.

For my second creation I used the Holly bouquet and a sentiment from the Gifts of Christmas. This card was the first time I stamped this image and I mistakenly thought the pink portion colored in was a rose. Nope....but I will call it one!

Butterfly Beauty

Happy Wednesday and only days away from Christmas! The cards I am featuring today uses one of my fave images....the butterfly and were done using the Butterfly Beauty, Wedding Wishes and Four Little Sentiments. I did both of these butterflies by spraying distress inks in fossilized amber and pealed paint.....I mixed the colors more and turned them kind of mudding in second card. After spraying the inks onto mat, I added some water and then stamped the butterfly in the colors and onto watercolor paper. Super easy quick and addicting!

I hope everyone has a happy holiday!!!!

Snowflakes on a Diagonal

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Do you have snow outside your window right now?  I don't have any yet, but we do have some freezing cold weather coming our way later on this week.  I'm ready to hunker down and enjoy some hot cocoa and snuggle under a blanket.

I pulled out one of my favorite stamp sets from Technique Junkies called Snowflakes and played around with them.  On a white card base, I blended some pale blue ink in the upper left corner.  Then I randomly stamped the different snowflakes in different colors in a diagonal line.  I left just enough white space on the bottom half of the card so I could stamp the sentiment.  Both the snowflakes and the sentiment are from the Snowflakes set.

Today (Sunday, Dec. 18) is the last day of the big sale at Technique Junkies.  Some of the stamps have sold out, so grab the ones on your wish list before they are gone.  You can use my code, TJ10Holly, to save an additional 10% on the already discounted prices.  My code will also save you 10% off all of the regular priced stamps as well, such as the Snowflakes set that I used on the card above.  Have fun shopping and have a wonderful day!

O' Christmas Tree

 Hello!  

How are all of your Christmas preparations going? I just wrapped up my last craft show for the year.  I need to start focusing on wrapping presents and making some Christmas treats.   I'm still trying to sneak in a few more Christmas cards in before the season escapes us.  

I used these stamps by Technique Junkies to create this silly card.  This cat stamp has been a long time favorite. It paired perfectly with the new Christmas tree stamp.  Just to spice up the layout a little I used the vertical Merry Christmas.  I like that you can see it when the card is closed and open.  What do you think?

Trust Yourself with Copper Dragonflies

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  I've been looking through all the great stamps on sale at Technique Junkies, and I pulled out a couple of them to play with and created this card for you.  I love this Leaves and Dragonflies background stamp, so I embossed it with copper and then watercolored over it with some deep blue and some golden yellow paints.  While the paints were still wet, I sprayed some Worn Saddle Shimmering Bliss over the whole thing.  The Shimmering Bliss spray warmed up the colors in the background and there is a gorgeous subtle shimmery-ness all around the copper leaves and dragonflies.  The sentiment is from the great Things I Want to Do set.  

Both of these stamps are part of the Inventory Reduction sale and you can get them for 40% off.  If you use my code, TJ10Holly, you will get an additional 10% off the discounted price.  You don't want to miss out on this deal!  There are hundreds of stamps in this sale, so go check them out HERE.  Just remember to add the code, TJ10Holly, to get the extra 10% off.
