Stained Embossing-Butterfly

Hi TJers! Kathie McGuire here today to share a card I made using the Stained Embossing technique. Admittedly, this is my first try doing it. I am so happy I tried it because it's really stunning, yet very quick to do. I used a Tim Holtz woodgrain folder--I thought it would pair well with the Stampscapes butterfly. The butterfly is also an old TJ technique called Expressionistic Watercolor Bleed. Another quick technique which yields dramatic results. Thanks for taking a look at my card and have a nice TJ weekend! Kathie

Technique of the Week

Good Morning Ladies,
Nancy Dawson here with a sample of this week's technique, Stained Embossed Card. This was featured in the June/July 2013 newsletter. It is a great technique and makes some beautiful backgrounds.

I used Tim Holtz Distressing Inks and the new Stampin' Up Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder! The little molded flower is alot prettier in real life!

Anyway... give it a try, I know you will really enjoy using this technique.
Happy Stampin'

Have A Sweet Day!

So Glad We're Friends

Hi, Beth Norman here today.  So glad we're friends.  Us Junkies are all friends, aren't we? 

This week's Technique of the Week is Stained Embossing.  Again, I say any new technique that uses our embossing machine is a "rockin'" technique. 

Rockn' this week's technique is my cute little image from our sponsor, Impression Obsession.  I have a girlfriend what owns a 30 foot tiki hut with an in-ground pool so I bought this stamp with her in mind.  My girlfriend is going to help me navigate to the Detroit airport to pick up my mom for my daughter's wedding (I live in Canada, just about 90 minutes from the airport) so I thought I would give her this card to add to her collection.  She tells me she has a photo album full of my cards. 

You may be curious as to how I cut my card.  I used my new Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders One set.

Thank you for stopping by.  Don't forget to come back to see what the rest of the Team has for you this week. 

Technique of the Week.....Stained Embossing!

Happy Monday!  It's a holiday week if you are livin' in the United States....yahooo!  The impending July 4th celebration inspired my card featuring this week's technique--Stained Embossing!  This technique, found in the June/July newsletter, is a great way to create an interesting and colorful background.  My star background is the perfect backdrop for this great image from I Brake For Stamps, don't you think?

I can't wait to see more Stained Embossing samples made by YOU!  Have fun and don't forget to share your work on the Yahoo group!

TTFN, Jane

Holly Brown: Double T Slider Butterfly Birthday

Hi, it's Holly posting today!  This pretty in pink butterfly piece is a Double T Slider technique from the 3D and Fun Folds CD.  See the little curved area at the top?  You pull out that piece that is hiding inside and you get a double surprise - something comes out from the bottom too!!  See below:

Isn't that fun??  The butterfly block is a stamp I bought at a LSS years ago.  I looked all over the wooden block for the name of the company but there is nothing marked on there.  The sentiment stamps are from Papertrey Ink.  The patterned paper that I stamped the butterflies on is from an old package from Prima - I've been hoarding these papers!  LOL

I hope you try a technique or two from the CD's.  I know you've got at least one or two of those CD's in your craft room - pull them out and share what you create with us over in the TJ Yahoo group.  If you don't have the 3D and Fun Folds CD, you can order it here:   http://techniquejunkies.com/3d-and-fun-folds-cd.html.  There are a ton of great ideas to be found on all of the CD's offered from Technique Junkies!

Pressed Stains by Judy Jackson

I love techniques that use new items that I have!  This uses the Distress Stains.   It gives such a wonderful background. I know this will be a favorite technique to use again and again!  The focal image of the cacti is a retired stamp from Close to My Heart.  The cactus in the foreground is popped up with foam tabs. The word stamp is from Stampin' Up.

Hope you have a crafty day!
