Every Day should be a Sundae!

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 'sweet' cards to share today, using a fun new release stamp, #SD1105 Sundae, from Technique Junkies. What a great stamp - I'm totally in favor of making every day a Sundae, how about you?

Here's my first card:

I wish you could see all the shiny goodness on this card. The image was colored with Copics, and the ice cream and strawberry were covered with Glossy Accents. In real life, this looks totally yummy! The background clouds were created with Ink Blending Brushes, and A Colorful Life Designs 'Cloud Edger' Stencil.

This card was also colored with Copics, and embellished with Glossy Accents. Seriously, does this not look good enough to eat?  

These were pretty easy to create, and I'm having a lot of fun with the June release! However, I think I'm going to have to say goodbye for today, and go eat some ice cream!!!

So glad you stopped by today!

Increasing in Value

 Hi there!

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog.  

I have a pretty card to share today, using the 'S882 Spring Flowers' background stamp. What a lovely stamp this is to work with - just look at all of the details! This card also features a new release sentiment 'SDX182 Increasing in Value'.

The image was stamped first on a white cardstock panel. I used 'A Colorful Life Cloud Edger Stencil' to create a bit of sky prior to coloring the panel. All coloring was done with Copic markers. The image was actually stamped on both the focal panel, and again on another panel. Each panel was colored, then  I fussy cut the larger flowers and popped them up over top of the first stamped image. Once the card was completed, I used Glossy Accents on the larger flowers, then stamped, matted, and adhered the sentiment to the card front.



I've enjoyed this March release! Hope you have too!!!

Warmest Holiday Wishes

Hi there, and Merry Christmas Eve from all of us at Technique Junkies!

It's my day to share with you here, and I'd like to feature a fun card that I created, using Gnomies Forever , Christmas Tree Sextuplet, and a sentiment from Gnome for Christmas.

This is a box card, and seemed like a perfect fit for these sweet gnomes! Using Copic markers, the images  were colored for Christmas. I found some buffalo check designer paper on Etsy, and printed out what I needed for the box. Someone VERY special received this for Christmas!

Here is a photo of the trees and their background, which was created with some Distress Oxide Inks, Ink Blending Brushes, and the Cloud Edger Stencil. If you don't have this stencil, you really need it! Be sure to watch Pat Huntoon's videos - she even has one that uses the stencil to do camouflage!

Here's a shot showing the card folded flat for mailing. (Due to the overhang of the tree, this will be mailed in a larger than A2 envelope).

Technique Junkies products make such beautiful cards!

Gnome for Christmas

  Good Saturday morning on this beautiful fall morning.  We are getting ready to go on a trail ride in our side by side to see some beautiful fall colors.  

This morning it is my turn on the Techniques blog, as guest designer, to post to share a couple of cute/pretty holiday cards that I designed with the new October fall release.  

 Using one of the cute gnomes from Gnome for Christmas, I made a Christmas card using a library card that I had in my stash, colored the gnome with copic markers fussy cut him out and popped him up on a couple of pretty design papers for the holidays.  my sentiment came from the same set and I thought that it was fitting for this library card.  I distressed the library card a bit with some antique linen distress ink and a pair of scissors.  I knew I saved the library cards for a reason.  

My next card 

was made using Wise Men  which is a beautiful stand alone stamp, and using the Cloud Edger Stencil  I made the backgound with three various colors of distress oxide inks using my blending brushes. I watched a quick from Pat Huntoons blog on some tips in using this beautiful stencil.
