Lots of Dotted Blooms

  Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share four cards that I created, with some new release products!

The S897 Dotted Blooms background stamp was featured on all four of these cards. Hopefully, you will enjoy seeing how different each one looks, just by changing up colors and techniques a bit. I love this stamp - it makes me think of my teen years! Yes, I was definitely a bell bottom wearing hippie!

This card features:
S897 Dotted Blooms 

SDX183 Age Gets Better 

What better way to start out, than by using a classic black and white theme? The white heat embossed image is so vibrant on the black background!

The next card features: 

S897 Dotted Blooms 

SDX182 Increasing in Value

I got a little silly with this one. I scrunched up a piece of saran wrap, and just pounced it on several different colors of ink. Then, the focal panel was stamped with black Versamark ink. I trimmed the panel, adhered it to a card base, and did some scrunching on the sentiment panel. I stamped it in blue (in real life, the blue ink matches the blue scrunching - on the big screen, not so much). The sentiment was popped up with some foam squares, a piece of tulle was glued behind it, and ta-done!

The next two cards feature:

S897 Dotted Blooms

SS117 Five Fab Prases Set of 10

Shimmering Bliss Thulian Pink, Dolphin Cove, Chestnut Mare

So, for the above card, I used some Shimmering Bliss sprays on my Gelli Plate. I've never tried to do this, so maybe I made up a new technique, who knows? I generously sprayed the three colors of Bliss (the only 3 that I own so far) directly onto the Gelli plate. Next, I did the unthinkable. I just laid the stamp directly onto the spritzed gelli plate, left it a few seconds, then pulled it up, and laid down a sheet of cardstock. Does it look like the Dotted Blooms stamp? Nope. Do I like the outcome? Heck, yeah!!!

This next photo hopefully shows a bit of the sparkle and shimmer of the Shimmering Bliss. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black ink, and a strip of Washi Tape was added prior to finishing the card.

For this last card, I sprayed some of the blue and pink Shimmering Bliss onto the Gelli plate, deliberately leaving a couple sections a bit lighter, by spraying less of the Bliss there. I quickly pressed down my cardstock, and rubbed for a bit, to make sure I had good coverage. Next, I stamped the Dotted Blooms with some awesome pink ink, and finished up the sentiment in Versamark black..



Again, I'm hoping this photo shows a bit more of the shimmer of the Bliss, and beautiful stamp details.

Happy to see you here today!

Colorful Easter Cards

Hello! I am so excited to be here for the first time as part of the TJ Design Team!  My name is Tracy Shultz and I am sharing with you four of the many cards that I created featuring the Happy Easter Bunny and the Dotted Blooms Stamps. I probably made two dozen of these! It was so much fun to stamp out the bunny in springtime colors and to ink the background stamp using multiple colors of ink. This fun card is easy to make, so I hope that you will give it a try!

Stamps used: Happy Easter Bunny and Dotted Blooms. I am happy to share with you my discount code for 10% off: TJ10Tracy

Card # 1 - Serenade Bunny. I stamped the bunny with Serenade light purple ink from Catherine Pooler. I used Tsukineko Radiant Cool Neon Ink, (quad combo: Electric Pink/Electric Purple/Electric Blue/Electric Green) to ink the background once. Then I rotated the paper and stamped again. This is what I call the double stamp technique. I used a die from my stash to create the blue-green grass. I then layered my background onto a piece of purple card stock from my stash. All these adhered to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5")  white card base. 

Check out my video that demonstrates how I created these cards:

Card # 2 - Pucker Up Bunny. I stamped the bunny with Pucker Up pink ink from Catherine Pooler. I used Pucker Up Ink again to ink the background once. Then I rotated the paper and stamped the background again using Cummerbund light blue ink from Catherine Pooler. I used a die from my stash to create the blue-green grass. I then layered my background onto a piece of purple card stock from my stash. All these adhered to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5")  white card base. 

Card # 3 - Catching Rays Bunny with Pucker Up and Catching Rays inks. I stamped the bunny with Catching Rays orange ink from Catherine Pooler.  I used Catching Rays ink again to ink the background once. Then I rotated the paper and stamped the background again using Pucker Up bright pink ink from Catherine Pooler. I used a die from my stash to create the blue-green grass.  All these adhered to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5")  magenta card base.

Card # 4 - Pucker Up Bunny with Orange Peel and Pink Champagne Background. I stamped the bunny with Pucker Up ink from Catherine Pooler. I used Orange Peel ink by Catherine Pooler to ink the background once. Then I rotated the paper and stamped the background again using Pink Champagne ink from Catherine Pooler. I used a die from my stash to create the blue-green grass. I then layered my background onto a piece of orange card stock from my stash. All these adhered to an A2 (4.25" x 5.5")  white card base.
