Monochromatic Christmas

Good day! I hope this finds everyone well! It is almost Halloween!

Today I am showcasing a sentiment from the Scripted Sentiments, set of 6. I LOVE them! I paired it with the gorgeous, previously released Snow Covered Pines. I used a pinkish red ink and the sentiment is popped up on dimensionals.

Warm Winter Wishes

 

I stamped Snow Covered Pines on white card stock.  I stamped the greeting from the set Scripted Holidays.  I wanted it heat embossed in the same green as the trees.  But I used a dye based ink - not very heat embossable because it dries too quickly.  Here is how to do it.  I inked up stamped with Versamark ink. I stamped on a scrap of white card stock placed in my stamping platform. Then I inked the same stamp with the green ink making sure I had full coverage.  I cleaned the stamp and reinked it with Versamark, and then heat embossed it with detail clear embossing powder.  I spritzed Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper all over to create the image of shimmering snow.

Santa Shaker Card

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I have a fun shaker card to share with y'all today.  I used the beautiful new Classic Santa stamp from Technique Junkies and stamped it with red ink onto some white cardstock.  Then I cut down some clear packaging and taped three sides onto the back of the Santa panel.  With one side left open, I poured some sequins into the front of the Santa panel and then taped the last edge to the back to create the shaker piece.  I die cut some letters from black cardstock to create the fun sentiment - Ho Ho Ho.  After I glued the letters down, I adhered the shaker panel to some black cardstock and then to a red card base.

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You will save 10% off your entire order, so grab this Classic Santa and check out the rest of the great Christmas stamps from this month's release HERE.  Have a wonderful day!

 

 

Going for Gold with Video

Hi Junkies! 

Creating the look of Gold with alcohol markers has always been a challenge. I spent some time playing with my markers to find a combination that was easy and looked like true GOLD. As a bonus stay tuned and see how easy it is to make the bells chime (swing) on the card.  Click here to watch video

Believe and Embellished Merry Christmas

 Hi! Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here with two Holiday Cards featuring two new stamps from Technique Junkies. Check out all the new release stamps here: https://techniquejunkies.com/october-2022-stamp-release/ Use code TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your order. 

For my first card, I heat embossed the new Believe Stamp (SD1195) with silver embossing powder. I die cut it with a stitched rectangle die. I ink blended the edges of the rectangle with Tranquil (light blue) ink from Catherine Pooler. For my night sky I used a piece of navy blue card stock and splattered it with Frost White Fantastix Ink by Tsukineko. I die cut this with a stitched rectangle die. I used a large silver foil circle to represent the moon in the upper right hand corner.  I used silver foil cardstock cut with a stitched rectangle die for a mat layer. I adhered everything to an A2 card base. 

For my second card, I embossed the Embellished Merry Christmas stamp (SD1198) with dark green embossing powder, then die cut that with a stitched rectangle die. I then used the Quirky Little Trees Stencil  from A Colorful Life Designs with Later Gator (green) Lunar Paste on white cardstock. I used green foil cardstock as a mat layer and adhered to an A2 card base. I then added some foiled ephemera stickers from my stash (a Christmas Tree, a red pickup truck and holly leaves).

Holiday Season

 Hello Junkies!  

It is Chris jumping on with two holiday cards.  The holiday season is creeping up on us.  I'm trying hard to chip away at my card list.   I have two really fun cards to share with you.     I'm loving the new sentiments.  The fonts are playful but still easy to read.    I hope these cards inspire you to get a start on your holiday cards.

Scripted Holidays

Jingle All the Way

Menorah

I used a punch to create the Jingle Bells.  The tiny bows were a labor of love, but they were so worth it! 

I don't make a lot of Hanukkah cards, but this menorah background looks so stunning heat embossed on the blue sparkle cardstock.  The camera doesn't really capture the sparkle... but you will have to trust me.  

Pink and Green Christmas

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I have a fun pink and green Christmas card to share with y'all.  I thought I'd change it up and use a bright pink and green color combo instead of a traditional red and green.  That pink just makes me smile!

I stamped the new Embellished Merry Christmas stamp from Technique Junkies with a bright green ink and then added a bright green card layer behind this.  Next, I pulled out the Snowflakes set and randomly stamped some snowflakes in pink and green all over a white card panel.  I adhered this snowflakes panel to a bright pink card base, wrapped some pink and white baker's twine around the card, and then added the green Christmas sentiment over the twine with some foam tape.

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% when you shop at Technique Junkies.  Check out all the great new Christmas stamps in this month's release HERE.  Don't forget the Shimmering Bliss, the new Catherine Pooler ink pads, and the great selection of stencils.  Have a wonderful day!

Let us Adore Him!

 Happy Wednesday In blogland!

Today I am sharing a beautiful sentiment Let Us Adore Him  and I paired it with a previously release 

Christmas Frame. I used a combination of sponging and coloring with Zig watercolor markers and then fussy cut the frame out. Lastly, I take a black marker and go around the entire cut out image as I think it gives it a more “finished” look.
