Reverse Washi Window by Judy Jackson

 

Washi Tape seems to be all the rage right now, and like many stampers I have collected several rolls of this very versatile tape.    I like the bright and muted colors.  I like the way you can mix and match with coordinating colors or use a variety of colors. I like it's versatility in creating cards in a different manner. The Technique Junkie newsletter has shown several different techniques using this interesting tape and this technique is another one.  

Stamps are  all from Stampin' Up!

I know the newsletter has just been mailed out.  Are there any techniques you have already used and are there techniques you want to try?  I hope you will try this one.

Have a crafty day!

Marbled Skin from CD 10 by Judy Jackson

The Marbles Skin technique is very interesting to make.  You have an idea of how it will look when you done but not really.  Be sure and let it dry completely. Mine took almost 24 hours to dry.

The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the focal image is water colored.   This will be one of my Christmas cards.

I hope to be done with my cards very soon!  How are you doing?

Leopard Peel Off Borders by Judy Jackson

Hello, out there in Technique Junkie Land!  This is Judy Jackson sharing a card with you today.  I have used the Peel Off Border technique from the April-May 2012 newsletter.

I used the Scenic Stamping technique to create the focal image.  Stamps Credits are for Impression Obsession and Stampin' Up. I felt the lattice border sticker blended well with the masculine focal image.

In just days the June-July issue of the TJ newsletter will be mailed out!  Just wait till you see the techniques in that one!  Wonderful!  I hope your week is a great one!

Enjoy you creativity!

Cherish Friendship - Pastel Painted Embossing

I love to use the Pastel Painted Embossing Technique on embossed cards.  This easy technique from the Emboss or Die CD adds pretty depth to the background of a simple card. On this card, I colored the goose with pastels and a blender before layering him over my background. All stamps by Stampin' Up!.

The Emboss or Die CD has 79 tutorials, all in step-by-step pictorial format, showing you how to get the most from your embossing folders and die cut machines. Information on the Emboss or Die CD is HERE.

Vellum Floral and Greens

Happy Saturday from Kathie McGuire!! My project today features one of my favorite watercolor techniques, "Watercolor Resist". Although the technique is just a small element on this card, I believe it's the element that give my card just the right touch of color and flair!

So let's see if you can find the technique (where's Waldo?)! I'm sure it's easy to spot on the center leaf in the upper left corner of the card!

This project was fun because a friend and I challenged each other to create a card strictly from our scrap boxes. You know the box that holds all those little parts and pieces of images, technique backgrounds, and other card making items? Mine is overflowing!! The main "rule" was that the card had to be made up of ONLY things in the scrap box. The base cardstock was the only exception! Green is one of my least favorite colors so I thought this card was going to be a tough one for me. Ironically, it came together in an instant and when I came across the Watercolor Resist leaf, I knew I could pull it all together.

So now I challenge YOU to dig through all of your boxes and showcase some of those TJ techniques that are hiding there like buried treasure.

Thanks for looking at my card and I hope you've enjoyed the project!!
