Wanna Build a Snowman?

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!  Don't forget - All of the January 2021 New Release stamps are 15% off through January 8th! We can all use a little bargain, right? No codes needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

My first card uses 2 new releases: 'SS130 Inside Out: I Love Snow Set of 10', and 'SDX177 Small Snowflake Trio, Set of 3', and an older image 'SD966 Snowman'.The image was stamped onto white cardstock, and colored with Copic Markers. The snowflakes were then stamped using some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. To finish this card front, a dot of Glossy Accents was added to each snowflake center, and to the eyes, nose, mouth, buttons and pom pom on hat. The panel was trimmed, and adhered to a blue card base. 

The inside of the card cracks me up - I love this fun sentiment set!!!

Here's another fun winter card. This image is: 'SD1040 Snow Somewhere Else', and was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. I used some Distress Oxide Inks, 'Ink Blending Brushes', a spritz of 'Shimmering Bliss Chestnut Mare', a few drops of water, and a couple of fun die cuts to complete this card. 

The January 'Gotta Have it All' Bundle is $94.80. Normally, this would be $126.30 - what a great deal! Here's what you'll get:

Today I made a card for the current theme challenge at The Paper Players ... to make a Snowman Card.

I thought the adorable Snowman Stamp was perfect, since he is also dressed in a Scarf & Hat like the cutie in the photograph.

I started by creating a *snowy* background using the Grunge Dots Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs with white texture paste.

Next I stamped the snowman on white cardstock, colored his hat, scarf, buttons & nose with Spectrum Noir Markers, and added glossy accents to the buttons and his eyes before detail cutting him out.  I'm also joining the SNOW Challenge at Use Your Stuff (can't even tell you how old that Embossing Paste was from my stash ... felt so good to use it ... and that fabulous stencil was still sitting in my studio unopened).

How cute is that round little guy.  Sentiment is from Victorian Greetings.

Remember, even if stamps aren't included in the clearance, my discount code TJ10Stephanie still gets you 10% off.

Day 20 of the Technique Junkies 30 Days of Christmas

 

Here we are already at Day 20 of the 30 Days of Christmas Event.

There have been some great cards shared by the Design Team, which I am sure hold a lot of inspiration.

I went with the Snowman for my card, and that largely had to do with the loads of snow we have received in my neck of the woods, and Snowman are good any time.

I dressed my Snowman in tones of Purple - kind of a Regal Snowman he is. For some added glam I splattered with Midas Aqua Shimmering Pen, and I love the look. 

In the background is A Colorful Life Design Stencil called Faded Poinsettia. Pat normally has these stencils in stock, but I noticed it is not today. I am sure she would be happy to get it for you however.

The Snowman is affixed using foam squares and the sentiment is stamped in a deep purple ink.

Remember, this event goes on until November 22nd with 20% off all stamps in the Christmas category in the store.
