Beautiful Trees

 Hello friends, 

You can never have too many sentiments.  That should be the first rule of stamping (or at least in the top 3 right?)  The whole point of sending a card is to send a message of love, support, encouragement,  sympathy, or joy.   Pat the owner of Technique Junkies is a master of coming clever ways of finding the perfect words.  I love this new stamp set.  There are 6 different sentiments.  Each as perfect as the last.   I hope you will stop by and take a look.  They made some really beautiful Fall cards.

A Gel Plate Autumn

My creation today was done by brayering some fall color acrylic paints onto the gel plate and then stamped the Leaves Background onto the plate. Next, I brayered a thin layer of white acrylic paint onto the gel plate. Lastly, I pulled the print using a piece of white card stock. I absolutely love the look I got! I stamped the Pumpkin Spice sentiment in a deep red and distressed the sentiment panel by sponging. Matted with the same color and put both on a white card base.

Card # 1

Card # 2

To create my cards, I stamped the Grateful Leaves Stamp in a random background pattern using the following colors of Catherine Pooler Inks: Limoncello, Glitz, Flame, Sparkling Berry, Cranberry Fizz, Sage, Terracotta and Green Tea. For card # 1, I fussy cut the three leaves out and featured them on the front of my card panel. For card #2, I used a die from my stash, and die cut the word Grateful in maroon, and the shadow layer in cream color.  I used a wood panel cardstock as my matte layer for both cards. 

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Have a Hopeful day!

Greatest Oak

  Greetings Junkies!

Encouragement cards are some of my favorite to make and send.  It is nice to send little reminders that we are thinking about our friends and family.  These two stamps combine together perfectly.    

I used the tombow markers to give the acorns a two-tone look.

Autumn Colors Outside the Lines

 Happy Hump Day!

This is my first time posting on the designer blog! 

I am bringing you a card using the Leaf Collage (#S912) and my sentiment is from 

Things I Want To Do (#S546). 

I started with a piece of watercolor paper in my Misti. I added the color to the stamp with Daffodil delight, soft suede, poppy parade and pumpkin pie. Before stamping, I spritzed it with water. I tend to gravitate towards a distressed look. Next, I ripped the corners and distressed all the edges...on the mat, too. Then I added some daffodil delight to the edges. The sentiment was stamped on watercolor paper, too. I added 3 tan shimmery pearls to finish it off.

Ideas for Background Stamps | Easy Window Card

 

Give your projects a little variety when it comes to using your background stamps! One way to create variety is to simply add a window. You don’t need special fancy acetate sheets (if you don’t have them); simply use a deli container or any clear flat packaging. Using Archival Ink, stamp your background on a pre-cut white card panel. Today, I am using the “Pile of Leaves” background stamp from Technique Junkies.

The "Pile of Leaves" stamp is part of the September 2021 NEW Release! You can save 10% every day at Technique Junkies with my personal coupon code to YOU: Use TJ10ERIN at checkout!

Use washi tape to temporarily adhere the stamped panel onto the front of your actual card base. Open up the card base and die cut a circle or other shape out of the front of the card. Then, remove the white stamped panel and glue the acetate (or clear plastic) to the back. It won’t matter that you can see the glue; it will be hidden when you adhere it to the card.

You can add any sentiment inside the card you want. I added a simple “Thank You” stamped image and embossed in white. To get my placement just right, I used my stamping platform and I also used the packaging from the stamp to help line up the sentiment on the platform. I wanted to make sure you could see the entire sentiment through the window, even when the card was closed.

I wanted to add one single colored leaf over top of the outline-stamped pile of leaves. So, I used some Shimmering Bliss Spray on some scrap cardstock and after the spray was dry, I stamped the background stamp on top. Then, I fussy-cut out one single leaf from the spray-inked paper.

The leaf was going to hang over the window a little bit, which was a nice touch. But when a leaf accent hangs over the window in the front, that means that you will also see the back side of the leaf accent through the window when the card is open. So I stamped again on a second piece of inky paper and glued it to the inside of the card, against the leaf showing through. 

For a finishing touch, I added some metal corner embellishments. And that’s it!

Thank you for looking!
