All the Glitter

Happy last day of November! Can you believe it? I sure can't. I am not quite ready for the Christmas season!

Today I am sharing a fun card done using the November release Glitter. I used a couple different  colors of  Aladine Izink Diamond glitter paints in Orange and Turquoise on purple card stock using the ACLD peacock feathers stencil. I love the way it turned out!

Determined to Rise

 Hello Junkies!

Are you afraid of white space?  It makes me uncomfortable.  I struggle with leaving white spaces on my cards.  I like to challenge myself and push boundaries.    I tackled this by making my mat on the card smaller than I normally use.  It is 3 3/4 by 5 inches.  Then used some powerful colors in the middle.  I think the white tames them a little.   This stamp was perfect for this type of layout.  I love how she breaking her boundaries and pushing her way out of the center box.   It is a little detail... but it makes me happy.

The Maid Sucks (Haha)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I thought I'd pop in... just in case you needed a little humor today.  

Housework is never fun! Why do housework, when you can make cards, right?  Well I couldn't escape it forever, so we had a clean-a-thon this weekend.  The only dog hair in our house is on the dog at the moment.  I love this new stamp from Technique Junkies.   It fits me perfectly.  

The top card reminds me of when you wash the windows and it leaves streaks.  At least when the sunshines it creates a beautiful rainbow.  😂   The second card was a "mistake" when I was trying to make a coffee background. I thought it looked like hair.... so I used it for this card.   

I hope they give you a chuckle!

Neptune likes Glitter

 I find this Neptune’s Mond mesmerizing and I think there is so much that can be done with it. Here, I paired it with the new sentiment this month called Glitter. I fit my glitter in as her eye shadow. I love to cut my sentiments it..especially when I want to use them but they don’t fit as stamped….voila! Cut them up!

I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving and it is spent with the ones you love!

New Years !!!!

  Well - it is getting close to a New Year !!!

Where has the time gone - I know alot went into making so many Fab 

cards with Technique Junkies

Today I am sharing two New Years cards I made with the HNY stamp

Firstly, this gold and navy card.

I punched out both sides with the bubbly look.

The Happy New Year is embossed with a gold glittery powder

Also did the edges...then lots of layers with the gold and blue

Some gold thread on the side...and done.

The next one was a bit of a quicky.

mobossed in silver onto a greyish cardstock. Then some

confetti looking glitter glued on.  Very quick to make but 

quite festive looking too.

Signature Color

 

I  used the lady from The Rules.  She is colored with Copic markers.  Then I used glitter pens to add a clear glitter sheen -- of course!  The sentiment Glitter is perfect for this image!

  If you decide that you need most, if not all,  of the November stamps -- then you really ought to consider the "Gotta Have It All" set.  It is at a tremendous discount.

Have a wonderful day -- I hope it has some warmth to it still.    And please get inky.

 

Trio of Tea Time Cards

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  I'm taking a break from Christmas cards today so I can share these cards that I created with the gorgeous new Tea Collage stamp from Technique Junkies.  I've done these in three different ways to show the versatility of this great background stamp.

On the brown monochromatic card above, I stamped the Tea Collage with a cinnamon ink onto some cinnamon cardstock.  I then blended some cinnamon ink around the edges so it looks like the cup of tea is glowing in the middle.  Then I stamped this Tea Collage again onto some white cardstock and cut out the tea bag.  This sentiment from the Typewriter Set fits perfectly onto the tea bag, so I stamped it in a darker brown ink and then adhered this to the card.

For the ombre card below, I stamped the Tea Collage with black ink onto some white cardstock.  After the ink dried, I started blending some distress inks onto the panel to get that gorgeous yellow/orange/brown ombre background.  I chose these colors because I was thinking of lemons (yellow), honey (orange), and tea (brown).

For my third card, I went completely outside the box.  I had been watching The Golden Girls on tv and I was in that nostalgic vintage-y mood, so I colored this Tea Collage with some muted greens and oranges and browns.  The cinnamon sticks are bolder than the rest of the card because I wanted to bring your eye up to the sentiment, which is from the Butter My Butt set.

I hope you enjoyed these Tea Time cards.  This stamp is so well illustrated and this red rubber stamps beautifully.  If you'd like to save some money when you go shopping for this Tea Collage stamp, please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly.  There's so many great stamps at Technique Junkies, and you can also shop for ink pads, Shimmering Bliss sprays, stencils, and more.  Have fun!

  Hello, 

I know many of you are making Christmas cards. I know that I am. I love this design because it has a WOW factor and is EASY to make. As a bonus it uses up decorative paper in an efficient way. I also love that you can incorporate a gift card or another decorative panel. I hope this helps you tackle some of those Christmas cards. Happy Crafting!

Tea Collage with Colored Pencils

 

As a dyed-in-the-wool coffee drinker, you would think that I couldn't appreciate a good cuppa tea... but I do! During the winter months I have been known to brew a cup in the afternoon.  Tea is so warm and cozy - makes the entire day better.  I particularly like chai tea - what is your pleasure?
In any case, our card today uses the new Tea Collage stamp with colored pencils. Lemon or milk for you?

Stay Cozy,

Great Things

 Oh yes. This sentiment was created as an encouragement - Never forget that you have it in you to do GREAT things! The background uses Festive Flamingo and Just Squeezed Shimmering Bliss Sprays with the Milky Way Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over the top in Dark Gray Ink. I added just a touch of watercoloring over my tiger and the words. All available from TJ.

Holly as a corner...

I love the elegant simplicity of the Holly Bouquet stamp, and I love that I can use it as a corner embellishment, too!  I was inspired to think out of the box with this one. Here is just used colored pencils to add the red and brown accents after stamping it in evergreen. So easy! 

The sentiment is from the Scripted Holidays stamp set. I find myself reaching for that set over and over this season...it is a classic!

I HATE to clean...

 My girl here needs a new maid! Seriously, who LIKES to clean? Not me! This stamp was inspired by actual events. The Girl is from the You've Got This set; the Washed and New Maid stamps are from the current release.
