You Go, Girl!

Hi, it's Beth Norman here with a puuurfect new stamp from February's release called Hang in There, which was coloured with Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS.

My background was stamped out using Random Circles background stamp, and the technique I used is called Distressed Rainbow Strips from the August 2013 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter.   The sentiment I used came from the Simple Sentiments 2a set.  These two stamps are not part of the February release.

Don't forget, February released stamps are on sale until February 8th.  

It's release day! Welcome to the HOP!

 

Welcome! Today is release day at Technique Junkies, and we are celebrating the new stamps with inspiration from our Design Team. We have a fun hop in store for you today, AND we have a 15%discount on the February Stamps, too.

Today I am featuring the New York New York stamp.

To start, I stamped the image on white cardstock with black StazOn ink.

To make the image look instantly vintage, I sprayed the stamped image with Sandcastle Colorations. After a few moments I wiped the image with a paper towel, then dried it with a heat tool.

To make the images at the bottom pop, I simply colored them with colored pencils.

 

There are 15 new image with this release! To preview the other images, it's time to start hopping!

This is the first stop of the hop, and it continues below:

Bikini Card

{jane bosi}

LOL!  This is so out of the box for me, but I couldn't resist using the new TJ stamp, With All My Boobs, to create this shaped bikini card.

I don't normally decorate the back of my cards, but this backside clearly demanded it!

I separated the sentiment by carefully cutting the first two lines from the rest of the stamp (see above card front).  I stamped the remaining sentiment in the card's interior.

I'm not sure who I would send this to.....but, she'd surely laugh!

TTFN, Jane

Hello Stampers!  It's Robin Redd, here, with you.  

Today, I'm sharing a layout I just made using the Fun and Games Stamp.  

I thought it was absolutely perfect for these pictures.  

I'm sure we all have moments like this from our pets.  Poor, babies.

SD628 Fun and Games

Here's a close-up of this gem.  

I, simply, inked it in black then colored in the dog and cone with colored pencils.

Do you use stamps in scrapbooking, too?

Until next time...

Good morning Junkies!  I hope everyone is doing well today.

Today I have a canvas that uses a couple of the wonderful Technique Junkie stamps and some of the new Minx Shimmering Inks from Art Anthology!

1)  Start with a 5x7 flat canvas.  I had a used one that I tore all the things off of and then painted with black gesso.  I next layered several colors of paint and some Inka Gold for depth.

2)  Once the background is dry, stamp Falling Checks (on of the new releases for January) in random spots across the canvas.  Set aside.

3)  Stamp Let's Face It 5 on a piece of paper with Versifine black ink.  Paint her face with slightly watered-down Art Anthology Kona Velvet, her lips with Ferrari Sorbet, her eyelid with Vegas Gold Sorbet, and her eye with Chocolate Sorbet.   

4)  Drop some Art Anthology Minx Inks in Radiance, Indulgence, and Panache onto your craft sheet.  Using a round paint brush, paint her turban in alternating colors.  While it's hard to see in the photo, there is a wonderful shimmer that just brings the turban to life.  Dry with a heat gun.

5)  Using a flat brush, brush Decadent Minx across a sheet of paper.  When dry, stamp the sentiment from Double Weird Sayings in black ink.

6)  Arrange your images on the canvas, adding a couple of leaf fronds and a burlap butterfly.

Until later.....................

Let's Roll

Dog stamps seem to be important in this months Technique Junkie stamp release as there were three very good ones.I have used this stamp before this month.  It is called Let's Roll   http://techniquejunkies.com/lets-roll/.. I used Copic Markers and sponging to color the different aspects of the focal image.   I thought the embossing folder with the the cascading dots -- more at the top than the bottom reminded me of the foliage of the trees.  

I layered the sentiment from the Let's Roll stamp set and used a scrap for the brown bottom layer . Some torn vellum with some adhesive hidden behind the focal image and the sentiment finishes off the card.   As usual I use several layers to give the focal image a good background.

What new Technique Junkie stamps have you been using?   Are you getting inky today?    

Let's Roll!

Happy Saturday Junkies! Pam here today.  As we all in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast hunker down for our first major snow storm of the season, I wanted to share some news with you.  I am moving from the frosty Northeast to South Carolina in about 2 weeks.   It's been a very busy process, exciting and full of anxiety as well!

So for this week's project I thought it would be very appropriate to create a tag featuring the January 2016 release Let's Roll stamp set. 

In just a short time we will be loading the dogs up and hitting the road for the next chapter in our journey!

My studio is packed up and I am working with limited supplies but as always I have my TJ stamps and my distress inks available!!

Hope everyone is safe and sound through the storms coming - happy crafting!

Embrace Imperfection!
