Java Jive...

Hello, Technique Junkies Fans!  It's Robin Redd, here, with you, today.

Here's a card I made with LOTS and LOTS of layers!

I used this little diddy of a stamp...

SD402 Java Jive

It's easy to get a grungy, coffee look by rubbing brown ink on the edges of each of the papers.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look!

Until next time...

 

Hipster Kitties!

Hello!  Robin Redd, here...

Here's a card I made using one of the new stamps from the August Stamp Release at Technique Junkies.

S718 Hipster Cats

These glasses on the cats just screamed for black enamel!

And, of course, I used my favorite sentiment stamp set, Things I Want To Do.

S546 Things I Want To Do

Until next time...

Hi Technique Junkie Friends!

This weekend I'm at a scrapbook retreat with 21 other ladies.  I've been scrapbooking with some of these ladies for 10 years but haven't seen in a few years so it's great to see them again.  Others, I'm meeting for the first time, so, that's fun, too!

We're at a pretty big house.  I mean it sleeps 22 of us and we each have a 6' table!  Their property is beautiful, too, which inspired me to make this card.

SD170 Butterfly 2

I used a die-cut set for the base of the card, again, very appropriate for this butterfly stamp.

I, also, used the SS013 Butterfly Quote set for the sentiment.

 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow because we are having the August Stamp Release Blog Hop.

Until next time...

Dream Big!

Hello Stampin' Friends!

Robin here, today, with another fabulous stamp from Technique Junkies July release!

SD697 Dream Big

Isn't this a fun stamp?!  I embossed it with white embossing powder onto a chalkboard print cardstock. 

But, you could get the same chalkboard effect if you white embossed on plain black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time... 

Behave Yourself!

This cheerful card is made with stamps from the May Stamp Release at Technique Junkies.

SD721 London ATC

SDX072 Behave Yourself

Until next time...

Bullseye Bloom Card

Hello!  And, a Happy Wednesday to you!

This week in Southern California, 

we skipped right over spring and jumped right into the heat of summer!

I thought I'd make a card to get that spring feeling back.

I made this card by stamping S655 Bullseye Bloom with a VersaMark stamp pad.

TS-VM VersaMark Stamp Pad

I colored the S655 Bullseye Bloom stamp with a sponge applicator and chalks.

 I used SD413 Find Our Way for the sentiment focal point.

What are your go-to Technique Junkie stamps that bring back that spring feeling?

Until next time...

So, Crabby!

Hello!  

I have another card for you using a stamp set from Technique Junkie's April Stamp Release!  

Hop on over there ASAP because you still have a few minutes to buy any of the stamps from the April Stamp Release for 15% off!!!

I used this crabilicous stamp set, PS008 Crabby, Set of 3

Of course, I had to have lotsa layers and foam tape on my card.  I even added these eentsy-weentsy tiny beads to the tan cardstock layers to make it look like real sand.  

I had fun making this card because I've had those tiny beads, probably for 15 years, no lie!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy 50th!

I'll say Happy.  You say Birthday!

(me) Happy!

(you) Birthday!

(me) Happy!

(you) Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my cousin, Pat!

   

I made this card for her using

SS01a Simple Sentiments, Set 1

and

SS010 Greetings Set

I love the look of the two different fonts on one card, don't you?  

Kind of unexpected but oh, so nice.

Until next time...

Walking in the Rain

Hello, Stampers!  

It seems that weather has been following me around lately.  

A couple of weeks ago, the nice warm sun followed me from Southern California to Dallas, Texas.  This week, the pouring rain followed me from Northern California 

to back home in Southern California.

And, I love it all!

As soon as I saw this stamp,  SD668 Bring Your Own Sunshine, I knew I wanted the boots to be yellow and I wanted them to be shiny!

I stamped it with black ink onto white cardstock.

I stamped the boots again.  This time on yellow patterned paper, cut them out, and used foam tape to pop them up from the stamped image on white cardstock.  Once, that was done, I added Liquid Glass to the top of the rain boots to make them shiny.

For the umbrella, I stamped it onto the back of the patterned paper of my choice, cut it out and inked the edges with the black ink.  I used foam tape with the umbrella, as well, to make it pop up.

Until next time...

Cherish

Hello, Stampers!  Happy Wednesday, to you!

Robin Redd, here, with you today, sharing a card I made.

I started by stamping SD056 Van Gogh's Woman in a Checked Dress onto a cream cardstock and mounted it onto patterned paper, then onto a kraft envelope.

I smudged two different colored inks onto another piece of cream cardstock then stamped S303 Medium Porcelain Crackle randomly around.  To give it a more organic feel, I didn't use a block when using this stamp.

 Then I stamped the sentiment, "Cherish what makes you UNIQUE" from S546 Things I Want to Do onto, yet, another piece of cream cardstock, mounted it onto patterned paper, then onto a tag.

The tag in the kraft envelope makes for a little interactive card.

(The Kraft Envelope with Tag are from Melissa Frances)

Pretty fun!

Until next time...

Marilyn

Yay!  It's Wednesday!  I'm glad to see you here so I can share the card I made with you.

First, I stamped SD655 Marilyn onto a neutral piece of patterned paper using black ink.

Then, I mounted it onto another with a 1/8" border.

Next, I stamped SDX063 Better Things onto the same piece of paper, again with black ink.

Then, I mounted it on another with a 1/8" border.

I layered a couple of strips of patterned paper onto the right side of the card with an accent of patterned paper and a red heart 'crystal' on the upper left corner.

 All of this on a piece of ledger designed pattern paper for the base of this card.

Until next time...
