Golden Leaves

 The new Technique Junkies Overlapping Leaves stamp is so beautiful! Today I colored it with Copic markers, then sprayed it with the Aladine IZINK Goldmine Dye Ink Spray. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Trees Set. This card is a great reminder of the beauty of fall.

Beautiful Trees and Overlapping Leaves

Hello everyone and happy Saturday!  Today I have two quick cards for you that I made using Overlapping Leaves and 2 of the sentiments from Beautiful Trees, Set of 6.  Both of these stamps are perfect to use together as they complement each other.  

• I made 2 top-folding A2 card bases and adhered a piece of green(ish) cardstock to the front.  
• I die-cut 2 pieces of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered them to the inside of each card for a message.
• I stamped Overlapping Leaves on a piece of distressed paper, die-cut them using a stitched rectangle die, layered them on a piece of black cardstock and then to the card front. 
• For my sentiments - I stamped 2 of the sentiments from Beautiful Trees, Set of 6, die cut them using a stitched die, layered them on black cardstock, and then to the card front. 

I love the distressed cardstock look between the leaves.  You can also distress your own cardstock using Distress Inks and a water bottle, then stamp the Overlapping Leaves.  

I hope you loved these two card ideas and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.  

Hugs from Brasil.

TJ Inkspirations: Layered Birthday Party

 

Layered Birthday Party Let's Party! Today we are using a three-piece stencil set to create multiple fun birthday cards. All of the cards use ink blending; some use Aladine IZINK Pearly Diamonds for a gorgeous iridescence. There are two kits available so you can make these for yourself - one kit for the Stencils, Diamonds and all the stamps, and one mini kit with just the stencils and diamonds. I hope you have fun creating with these as much as I did! The video is HERE ( or click on the image below):

Not So Scary Ghosties

 This new Halloween Paintstroke stamp was just what I needed for these fun ghosts and bats from the older Best Witches set.  I stamped the sentiment first, then added the creatures and some doodled dots as a background.  I outlined the creatures with a light grey marker which adds some depth.  I also colored the ghosts eyes red, although they are still too cute to be scary! Get these and all the other great new and old releases at TechniqueJunkies.com.  Use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!

A Birthday with Dragonflies

Happy fall!

Today I am sharing a birthday creation with Simple Sentiments 1a

And the Dragonfly Collage. The main image was stamped on acetate in stazon and die cut. I also painted with acrylic on piece of heavy card stock and die cut to match. Layered on a fun piece of designer paper and I call it done!

Find it all here and use my code TJ10Pam.

 

Wild and Free Hedgehog

 I love my little Wild and Free Hedgehog! I colored him simply and added the Wild and Free sentiment. Such a cute little guy for a cute card!I love my little Wild and Free Hedgehog! I colored him simply and added the Wild and Free sentiment. Such a cute little guy for a cute card!

Whoops

 Love this new stamp Whoop

(every time I read it I get that song stuck in my head - but that was Whoomp there it is LOL)

I used some scrap paper for the back design - splattered with some gold from my Pesca pen - then layered all together

Next up is another I made using the Overlapping leaves background 

With this one I embossed on some wordy paper and fussy cut out one leaf

Layered on top of the embossed background

Thought this was more of a masculine looking card - would be great for birthday wishes

Amazing Birthday

 The Technique Junkies Christmas Gnome set has a couple of perfect stamps for birthdays! I used one here with one of the sentiments from the Bold Birthday Wishes stamp set. The Big Numbers background, colored direct-to-stamp with different ink colors, is perfect for this birthday card, too. I hope YOU have an amazing day!

Strong Roots

 Are your roots strong? Luckily, mine are. Today's card uses the Bare Branches background with one of the sentiments from the Beautiful Trees Set. A little ink blending and a little layering makes for a stunning card. Both stamps from www.techniquejunkies.com

Feel Like Sunshine

 Hi Crafters - 

Today I am sharing a card I created with the Feel Like Sunshine and Butterfly Woman stamps. 

I took a patterned piece of paper and used a brown distress oxide to ink blend around the edges. I used an arches cutting die and cut out a piece of gold and white card stock. The white card stock was ink blended with distressed oxide and splattered with water. 

I colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out, added gold thread and popped it up with 3D foam tape. I added the lovely sentiment and a few gold gems to finish up the card. 

I hope you are inspired. Use TJ10Shalana at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

TJ Inkspirations: 2 Sizes Smaller Faux Shaker Card

 

2 Sizes Smaller Faux Shaker Card Today we have a quick tutorial for making a "Faux" Shaker Card. Why is it a Faux Shaker? Because we are not using any dimensionals when making it. Eliminating them allows the card to be made very easily. This is a card we make in our make and takes at Stamp shows, so I know that it can be made in 15 minutes with ease. And how can you resist that sentiment? There is a mini kit for the card, below and HERE, and the video is below the kit. Hope you love it! The video is HERE ( or click on the image below):

2 Sizes Smaller

Deb here with a fun card from the latest Technique Junkies release - 2 Sizes Smaller .I definitely wouldn't mind doing laundry if I could pop myself in the dryer and come out 2 sizes smaller !! How about you ?!?!?!

• The 2 Sizes Smaller image was stamped on white cardstock and die-cut with a Big and Little Chain Rectangle Die.
• I used  Nautical Blue Memento ink .
• The stamped panel was matted with a piece of blue cardstock.
• I adhered a piece of blue/white checkered patterned paper to a white card base.
• The matted/stamped panel was adhered to the card base with foam tabs.
• The scalloped border was die cut from blue cardstock and adhered at the top of the card . It is my favorite retired Tim Holtz/Sizzix On the Edge Scallops Die.
• I adhered some sky blue pearls across the scallops.

I hope you're enjoying the latest release and all of the fun inspiration from the team.Thanks for stopping by .. 

It’s ALL ABOUT the OWLS

           It’s All About the Owls

Today’s cards feature a sweet pair of Owls.  I’m not sure how long this rubber stamp has been available, but I’m in love with it which isn’t surprising because…I love birds! What I like about the way these owls are drawn and designed is how easy they are to stamp next to each other. They just naturally blend. See the card with the 6 owls?  Those are all stamped on one piece of yellow paper. Wouldn’t it be fun to stamp on a slimline card?

Card #1 is a 5 x 7.  I started with a light blue piece of paper, stamped the Bare Branches coming in from the left side, shaded the corners using a stencil brush, then stamped a bat, Happy Halloween painstroke, and Owls on yellow, framed them in black and trimmed around them before adhering to the card front.  You can add a black bow like I did or simply add a strip of black paper or black glitter paper and your card is complete. You can leave the inside blank or add a fun snarky saying.  Who doesn’t enjoy a good laugh?

I hope you find these three cards,  using these sweet little owls,  stir your curiosity and get your creative juices flowing.  Do you like owls or know someone that does?  

Owl stamp is $5.36 when you use my discount code, TJ10AJ.  It will take 10% off everything in your shopping cart.

Whoop

 Whoop Here It IS!

I've been waiting for this stamp for a LONG time.  Thank you to Technique Junkies for making it.   I'm ure you all remember a song by Tag Team from the early 1990's that is still loved by all.  It has worked its way into our everyday day conversations.   It is about time it made its card making debut. 

I wanted to appear as if the moon was saying "Whoop", so I used white pigment ink to sponge a grey card stock.   I added a bit of yellow and grey to give it a spooky feel.  Splattered the white ink to create some stars in the background.  All it needed was a character wish a bit of personality.   With Halloween around the corner, I chose this too cute to spook ghost.   I hope you love it.  I know this stamp is going to be a favorite in my collection.

The Pile of Skulls Have Eyes | HUGE Halloween Sale | Halloween Card

 

Happy Saturday y'all.  Design Team Member Michael here with another Halloween card.  This is such an easy card to make.  Waiting for the googly eyes to dry is the hardest part.  And they are optional.  Don't like em?  Don't use em!

If you want to make this card, this is what I did:

• I made a top folding A2 card base using black cardstock.
• I went through my stash of Halloween papers until I found one that I felt paired well with my stamped image.  I die-cut a part of it using a 4.25" x 5.5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main and then I adhered it to my card front.  
• I stamped Pile of Skulls on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main, and adhered a piece of black fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.   
• Then I adhered small googly eyes to each of the skulls. 
• Lastly, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped Wicked Halloween in the center, and then adhered this to the inside of my card. 

Done!  

If you are interested, I have a more detailed step-by-step with photos on my personal blog post HERE.

Inside of card:

On the front I used The Halloween Scene set of 12 , Spidery Halloween, and to the right side of the front I used part of the background stamp Pile of Skulls , plus a couple of googly 

eyes 👀 .  Michael, those are for you!

On the inside I used There are no skeletons in my closet (make sure you read the small print. It’s funny!) and the recently released Halloween Swoosh!

This card is self-explanatory, but I’d like to pass on a few tips.

*  To make the house appear more dimensional I stamped and cut out a 2nd house, added foam dimensions behind it, then slightly offset it on top of the originally stamped house.  I used a yellow highlighter in the windows for that glowing look, and a light gray Tombow marker around the window frames. I also used the gray around the house (the one stamped on the card base) and on the skulls.  

You could leave the background behind the house, bats, & sentiment white, but I decided to use prisma colored pencils to shade it a little.  I alternated light blue, yellow, and orange. 

The Halloween Scene set of 12, Spidery Halloween, and Pile of skulls are the stamps used on the front.

The inside stamps:  There are no skeletons in my closet and Halloween swoosh!

Most Halloween stamps can be found here.
