Joint Blog Hop with eclectic Paperie, and Sweet & Sassy Stamps!

Good morning from Judy Jackson. I am a Design Team member for the Technique Junkie Newsletter.    I love stamping and I love using new techniques to create cards, scrapbook pages, and various projects!   This is a Joint Blog Hop for three wonderful companies -- Technique Junkie newsletter, eclectic Paperie, and Sweet and Sassy Stamps.   I used the Pocket Post-It Pad technique from the Technique Junkie Great Gifts CD which all of the projects come from for this Blog Hop!

eclectic Paperie is an online boutique for all who love paper crafts. They have an eclectic assortment of products, supplies, tools, and materials to assist you in your quest for creative expression.  They know you will find something to "feed your creativity".

Technique Junkie Newsletter is a bi-monthly publication with step by step tutorials which encourage you to use your supplies in fun and creative ways. TJN also produces tutorial CDs with printable PDFs in a variety of themes. 

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is a small, family-owned, Christian company offering exclusive images and designs in both clear and digital stamps.  They also carry a small number of exclusive die designs, some of which coordinate with our stamps.

And now for my project:

I will tell you there is a slight error in the instructions for this technique.  You will need to score at 3 1/4, 3 3/4, and at 4 1/4 inches to create this wonderful project. 

I used papers, buttons, Baker's Twine,  hat pins,  and a cloth tag from eclectic Paperie.  I used the Vintage Ornaments Clear Stamp Set  from Sweet and Sassy Stamps.

Holly Brown: Collapsing Cupcake Box

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I made this fun Collapsing Cupcake box to share with y'all.  The tutorial for this great technique is on the brand new Great Gifts CD.  The Great Gifts CD contains 40 brand-new tutorials for gifts for all occasions! All of the tutorials are in step-by-step pictorial format, of course, and are printable to 8 1/2" x 11" paper. It is only $14.95 plus shipping. You can order from the Great Gifts Page:

http://techniquejunkies.com/great-gifts-cd.html 

I decorated my cupcake box with rosettes.  The directions for making these rosettes are in the fabulous Rosette Wreath technique, also found on the Great Gifts CD.  The picture below shows what the box looks like when you untie the ribbon:

Isn't that cool?  I had fun making this box.  Just think of all the different patterned papers you could use for making your own cupcake box.  Use fall papers, Christmas papers, Valentine papers, birthday papers - the possibilities are endless!

Holly Brown: Rosette Wreath

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Did you go through the Great Gifts blog hop that the TJ designers held on Wednesday?  There is some awesome artwork on all of the blogs in this hop.  This Rosette Wreath is just one of three projects I had on my blog for this hop.

The tutorial for this Rosette Wreath is on the brand new Great Gifts CD - just one of 40 awesome new projects.  This CD is just in time for the upcoming holidays.  I'm actually planning on making three more of these Rosette Wreaths to give away as Christmas gifts this year.  :-)

Buggies & Bassinets

Good Evening! Nancy Dawson here with NO Try that Technique BUT I do have two projects I made using the newest TJ Great Gift CD. There are so many ideas for gift-giving on one CD, it is a must-have!

I hope you like these creations - the Buggie instructions are included on the CD and I changed it up a bit for a baby shower making it a bassinet.

I hope you enjoy these projects and were able to follow the blog hop we hosted Wednesday. Everyone had such great projects. Be sure to order your new CD today!

Until next time,

Go Get INKY!
