Cardmaking Tutorial | Stamping Leopard Print

 

Leopard print goes with everything!

This is the leopard-print stamp you have been waiting for! Learn to used your Distress Oxide inks to EASILY color this stamp from Technique Junkies! 

Follow along with me in my step-by-step video tutorial for making this fun and glamorous card!

I actually combined the "Leopard Set of 6" stamp set with the "More Fabulous" stamp set. The lady on the "More Fabulous" stamp was just perfect to embellish the leopard print and the sentiment! 

I just happened to have an animal-print embossing folder in my stash! 

See the slightly raised leopard-print pattern? So cool...

I had to use a mask to achieve the leopard print skirt and hat for the lady. I just used a scrap piece of vinyl to create the mask. Once I stamped the basic image, I pulled the mask off of the skirt and hat and put the "outline" mask over her. Then, I could easily color in the skirt and hat with oxide inks. Feel free to check out the video tutorial to see how this is done! 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a piece of vellum and attached the vellum over the card panel with brads. After fussy-cutting the lady, I attached her to the vellum using Zots Mini Dots.

I love how this card turned out!

Hello Stampers!  It's Robin Redd, here, with you.  

Today, I'm sharing a layout I just made using the Fun and Games Stamp.  

I thought it was absolutely perfect for these pictures.  

I'm sure we all have moments like this from our pets.  Poor, babies.

Here's a close-up of this gem.  

I, simply, inked it in black then colored in the dog and cone with colored pencils.

Do you use stamps in scrapbooking, too?

Until next time...

Cascading Images in a Scrapbook by Judy Jackson

the purpose of this post is not to showoff  my great scrapbook stitching skills -- because they are not that great!  However I do want to show you how you can use a TJ stamping technique on  a scrapbook page.

This past July we went to family wedding. Our wedding gift to the Bride and Groom is a scrapbook of their wedding.   Because it was destination wedding and there were lots of things to do -- this scrapbook will be quite large.   This is about page 40! I have turned our downstairs family room into a marathon scrap station.   When I am doing a marathon scrapping session, I cannot use my table in my craft room - there just isn't enough space!

Please look at the three pictures of the little flower girl.  Do you notice how they "cascade down" the page?  The cascading images just draw your eyes  down and draw your eyes to look at each picture.  The technique for Cascading Images is from the April 2012 issue of Technique Junkie newsletter.

This is a card I posted for the Cascading Images technique on this blog on May 12, 2012.  You can see how the flower image also cascade down the page on the card. While the flower image is the same stamp - each flower image is painted slightly different.  Using the same subject in your pictures with slight variations can also work.  In a scrapbook - this technique



can be dramatic, adorable, mischievous, or just plain interesting depending on what images you use and the story you are trying to  tell (or show via pictures) on your scrapbook page.

What Technique Junkie technique have you used in your scrapbooks?  Have you done any scrapping recently? Perhaps this is the time to do some scrapping!

Enjoy your week!

Grungy Altered Titles - Stampbooking CD Blog Hop by Judy Jackson

Welcome to the Technique Junkie Stampbooking Blog Hop! This is Judy Jackson welcoming you to the first stop. Please make sure you follow the entire Blog Hop to be able to win a wonderful prize at the end! Jane Bosi has a great prize to tell you about!

The Stampbooking CD is full -- 75 different techniques full! -- of different ways to use your stamps (and other products of course) in different ways in your scrapbook. In addition, these techniques can also be used on cards! How great is that!

This scrapbook page uses the Altered Grungy Titles Technique. I used stamps from Stampers Anonymous, Hampton Arts, and Stampin' Up!

I am working on several scrapbooks at the same time -- have you ever done that? This page is for the scrapbook that will highlight different aspects of my life -- I am a sister, a mother, a cousin, a grandmother, a wife, a teacher, an aunt, a friend, a stamper, a scrapbooker, and so on. It is meant to be a brief glimpse of who I am. I want to be sure that my grandchildren - especially - know who I am and what makes me tick! It will not be meant to be a total history of my life. I already have a scrapbook that is sort of biographical of my childhood and has pictures of my ancestors. The little girl in this picture is me at about age 3 1/2. The photo is matted several times - the last mat layer is a sheet of vellum.

The TJ Designers, along with several Spotlight Stampers, have worked hard to bring you this inspirational Hop. Please leave them all a little love when you visit! The Hop Designers are:

Stampbooking: Tag Titles

{Jane Bosi} I love these pictures of my kiddos and their crazy hair!! I must admit, I've been a slacker scrapbooker for the last several years---these pictures are at least a year old (I have many stacks of photos waiting even older than that!) I've always struggled with joining my two passions: stamping and scrapbooking. Until, that is, recently!!! The TJNL Stampbooking CD has truly changed all that for me. Friends, this is a fabulous tool for ANY scrapbooker--brand new or seasoned!!! It's a great way to get even more mileage out of your stamps WHILE saving those precious memories for years to come--my kids love seeing "their pages"--it means so much to them! This is one of 75 techniques on the Stampbooking CD called Tag Titles. It's the perfect way to add a whimsical title to just about any page! In addition to the multitude of techniques on the CD, you'll also find over 150 scrapped/stamped pages for inspiration. Your memories are worth the best!! Check it out!
TTFN, Jane

Scrapping Techniques

{Jane Bosi} I've been challenging myself lately to see how many TJ techniques I can scrapbook with. Today, I'm using a technique from the most recent newsletter, Foam Shadow Stamping. My finished page measures 8 x 8--the size works perfectly for applying techniques and for when I only have one picture I want to use. My stamp image is from I Brake For Stamps and is called Butterflies. It's the perfect accent for this page and a wonderfully versatile image! Other stamps are from Amuse and Stampin' Up! Anyone want to join me in some technique based scrapbookin'?
