And the Winner is...

Good Morning Ladies - Nancy Dawson here with today’s winner of the ‘Tagged Background Technique’ is Barbara Benson. She will be featured on our Technique Junkie Yahoo Group Home Page.

Jane Bosi and I want to thank all that have played along with the weekly Try that Technique challenges. We will be suspending Try that Technique for the Holidays and taking a short break! Look for our first challenge after the new year and plan to play along.  

Be sure and visit the group often and post your photos in the gallery! We all enjoy seeing what other members are doing and how they use the techniques. We have such a super group and lots of talented ladies and we need to show it off so let’s strut our stuff!

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank PAT for her commitment to us and for continuing to bring such great techniques for us to use. She is such an inspiration and a lovely person. Thank you, Pat!

Now go get inky!

Fun Gift from the NEW 3D and Fun Folds CD!

Good day from Judy Jackson!

Have you ordered yours yet? Pat Huntoon has them and they are ready for shipping! Please look on the side of the DT TJ blog for how to order it!

Do you have stamping and crafting buddies? What a wonderful Christmas gift this would be!

I used a variety of embossing folders and die cuts to create this autumn themed water bottle powdered water bottle drink mix holder. The die cut is from Sizzix and is one of Tim Holtz's new releases from the July 2011 CHA.

This is so pretty, I almost hate to give it away!

Hope your day is just great -- crafty!

3 D and Fun Folds - CD for sale by Pat Huntoon, our fearless leader!

Hello to all of you from Judy Jackson. There is BIG NEWS!!Technique Junkie has a brand new CD for Sale! It will arrive to Pat tomorrow and will be ready for shipping right away!

Do you like three dimensional cards and projects? Then this new CD is for YOU!

This is a Four Panel card I made for my hubby for our anniversary. We celebrated our 43rd anniversary just a short while ago. He is a wonderful husband and deserves a special card! The pop out part with the poem was my own addition - and has one of his favorite love poems from Elizabeth Barrett Browning on this panel. I used stamps from a variety of companies: Stampin' Up, Inkadinkadoo, and Stampington and Company.

This card is only one example of 70 different tutorials on this new Technique Junkie CD. And the CD is only $17.95 (for US/Canada -- overseas it is $19.95). It amazes Pat and the TJ DT that some resources have only 15 projects for much more money than that -- you will be getting SEVENTY projects on one CD!

If you have never seen a TJ CD, here is a real example from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD (the format is the same, but ALL of the techniques are different!) of the Vertical Accordion Card:

So what are you waiting for? Place your order today -- you can make this card, too -- I promise!

Tagged Backgrounds--Stampbooking CD

{Jane Bosi} It's a great day for another run at the Try That Technique challenge! This week, we are pulling from the fabulous Stampbooking CD. Our technique is called Tagged Backgrounds! I made this 6 x 6 page of way back when the Hubster and I celebrated 10 years of marital bliss! LOL! I love the way the background plays off the colors in the photo and the theme of the event! Won't you give it a try and share a memory with us? If you aren't into the picture thingy, this is a great technique for cards too! Give it whirl!! My stamped images come from a variety of sources: I Brake For Stamps, Impression Obsession, Stampin' Up!

Let's see what you've got.......
TTFN, Jane

Chalk Resist by Judy Jackson

Good morning from Judy Jackson! I hope you are having a great fall day. I love the colors of Fall, the crispness of apples in the fall,. the tartness of freshly pressed apple cider, and --- just the general feeling of Fall. What I don't like about Fall is that it precedes Winter and snow! But Spring does come!

I challenged myself to use the same stamp set with this technique -- using different colors -- and create two different cards. The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the background is from Cornish Heritage Farms. On the second card I did use one more from a different Stampin' Up set. I even used the same little embossing folder! I do like this technique and I have discovered that you do need to use a softer mid-tone (not pale) ink color on the background stamp.

Are you getting your fingers inky today?

Good morning friends. Beth Norman here with another Bandana technique. Paired with this technique is the Attached Pocket Note Card technique from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD.

First, I started with my Bandana technique. Butterfly stamp is from My Favorite Things. Next, I went to the Fancy Fold and Motion CD to find a card that would work perfectly with my background. The Attached Pocket Note Card fit the bill.

Thank you for stopping by!
