By the Inch by Judy Jackson

Hi! Judy Jackson here.

Inchies used on cards had been something I wanted to try for some time. That resulted in the By-the-Inch Technique that I created for the October 2010 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I found I liked turning the squares -- it added to the visual interest of the card.

All of the stamps on this card are from Stampin' Up.

We have a lot to be thankful for -- and stamping and creating are some of those things.

Count your blessings -- and not your stamps -- and then create!

Pulled Glimmers meets Scene Silhouettes by Judy Jackson

I love making ATCs. They are just fun to make. I also enjoy being able to just quickly take an ATC that I have made and add it to the front of a card.

I created the Pulled Glimmers background and this ATC just went perfectly with the colors I used. I added the lovely green ad gold trimmed ribbons giving the card a soft touch -- yet not distracting from the masculine image and theme. The gold edging certainly brings out the glimmer shine in the background. I do realize it is past Father's Day but i made this card before Father's Day and am only getting it uploaded the TJ blog. You could certainly add a birthday greeting.

Stamp credits: Stampin' Up, Stampscapes, and At Impressions.

I hope you have a wonderful week filled with creative time for you!

Pulled Glimmers with Judy Jackson

I saw this image on a card and just loved it. The stamp is from Repeat Impressions. I used the Pulled glimmers technqiue from the June-July TJ newsletter. I chose those same color shades to color in the image with my Copic markers. I thought this young girl looked like she was watching the sea off in the distance.

Like so many TJ techniques Pulled glimmers gives a wonderful background with very little effort, yet it gives a certain WOW! factor to the card. I added a few tiny buttons to add to the vintage image.

The large background stamp on the base card is from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Have a creative week!
