We're Getting Older

Good morning! Happy middle of the week! Pam here today bringing you a creation that uses a new Technique Junkies' sentiment that sparked so many comments from friends and followers...it is called Queenagers, Set of 2 (SD1178).

This was a super quick card to make. I started out by using the The Crowns stencil from ACLD and I sprayed Shimmering Bliss in Ocean Depth. After stamping the sentiment and die cutting it with a rectangular stitched die cut, I sprayed the sentiment with it, too. Mounted on navy card stock and we will call it a day.

Head over to Technique Junkies for all your stamping needs and use my code TJ10Pam to get 10% off of your order. Get ready for next months' new releases on September 1st. They are wonderful!

 How old is too old??

Well maybe this will answer the question

The background has been stamped with the new set of 

Grunge Circles (SS151)

The the saying (SDX213) was stamped then cut 

into different layers.

The man used is from the Stud Muffins set (SS154)

that was released a few months ago.

He was embossed then fussy cut out.

Fun card to Make !!!

Near the Sea!!

 

 I used  Grunge Circles stamped with black Versafine and heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder.  I used Blending Brushes to add  ink to the background and the verse panel.  The focal image is Beach Girl and was colored with Copic markers.  The Cloud Stencil was used to create the sky. The verse is from By theSea.

 Please consider buying the Gotta Have it All bundle.  It is a great deal.

Vintage Old Friend

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Did you see all the great new vintage stamps from Technique Junkies this month?  I've used three of them on this card today, but I used some very non-vintage colors for the background.

I stamped the beautiful new Vintage French Advertisements background with some permanent black ink and let it dry.  I also stamped the sentiment from the You're Vintage set with the same black ink and let it dry.  I pulled out some distress inks (Wild Honey, Cracked Pistachio, and Salvaged Patina) and randomly brushed them on over the background.  Then I sprayed some water into my hand and flicked it over the background.  

I punched out some butterflies from white cardstock and stamped them with some of the stamps from the Grunge Circles set using the Wild Honey distress ink.  I also brushed some of that honey ink onto the edges of the butterfly wings.  Then I adhered the sentiment and the butterflies to the background and added some black pearls to the centers of the butterflies.

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your order, so stock up on some of the new stamps, the gorgeous Shimmering Bliss sprays, stencils, ink pads, and glitter pens.  Have a wonderful day!

Grungy Vintage Stamps

Hello, Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter here with a grungy card for Technique Junkies that features two stamps from the August Technique Junkies Release. I used a sentiment from the You're Vintage set of four and the Vintage Paris Advertisements Stamp. Don't forget to use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% on your Technique Junkies order. https://www.techniquejunkies.com

I created a YouTube Video of my card. You can watch it here:

To create my card, I first sprayed my background panel with Harvest Sunset, Gold, Chestnut Mare and Worn Saddle Shimmering Bliss Sprays. I dried this and then stamped the Paris Advertisement stamp onto this panel with VersaFine Claire Nocturne Ink. I then embossed the sentiment using the same Nocturne Ink and clear embossing powder. I cut the sentiment panel and my background panel out with my Deckle Trimmer. I also deckle trimmed a mat layer for the sentiment (also created with shimmering bliss sprays). I splattered Gold and Copper metallic water color paint over the panel and the sentiment with Finetec Metallic Watercolor Paints. I popped the sentiment up with foam tape and adhered this to the mat layer which I glued to the background panel. I mounted my card onto an A2 black card base.

Never Too Old

Good morning!  It's Holly posting, and here's a fun snarky card to put a smile on your face today!  LOL

I stamped the gorgeous Side Hat from Technique Junkies onto some white cardstock, but I masked off the lips before I pressed the black inkpad onto the stamp.  I took the mask off, stamped the black areas first, and cleaned the stamp.  Then I masked off the hat and the face/shoulder and inked up the lips with a red ink, took the masks off, and stamped the lips.  This Inappropriate sentiment was the perfect size to fit into the leftover space after I stamped the lady.  Don't you just love that?  LOL

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You will save 10% off your order, so check out the great stamps, the stencils, the Catherine Pooler ink pads, and the gorgeous Shimmering Bliss sprays.  There's a lot of fun stuff to play with!  Have a wonderful day!

You're not old...

 Hello Junkies!

Masculine cards can be such a challenge to make.  These new vintage stamps make them really easy.  I used a spotlight technique to highlight the man in the collage stamp.   I used the sentiment strip to ground the image.   It makes for a really fast and easy card.  This would be a great card to mass produce to have several masculine cards on hand.
