Desert Life

Hi everyone!  Have you seen the new August release?  There are so many gorgeous new stamps in this release!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing one of the cards I made for the release. 

On this card, I've used the new Desert Landscape Border stamp.  I stamped it with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and let it dry completely before moving on.  Then I used the awesome new ink blending brushes and brushed some ink colors onto the paper for a brilliant background.  The desert is a great place to see bright and colorful sunsets.  I stamped the sentiment, Beautiful Ride, with the same Nocturne ink and then added some stars with a white gel pen.

Remember, all of the August release stamps are on sale for 15% off until the 8th.  You can save an extra 10% when you use my code, TJ10Holly, for a whopping 25% off!  Have fun shopping!

Masked Backgrounds

One of the first reasons I fell in love with Technique Junkies stamps were their awesome backgrounds.  Today I played around with several backgrounds and a masking technique.  Remember you can get 10% off your order using my discount code TJ10Stephanie.

After spending time last week with my sister's cat Simon, I was inspired to make some cards featuring Coffee Kitty ... this stamp is very easy to cut for masking (I just cut off the whiskers from my mask, and it worked just fine).  I started by using my MISTI to stamp him on a white cardstock.

I stamped him a second time on masking paper to cover up my first stamped image, and then I positioned my Textured Newsprint background and stamped it in Fantasia Versafine Clair Ink.

I trimmed to even up the white border and then mounted my image on a purple card base.  I paired him with a sentiment from I've had my Coffee.

I finished with a few purple sequins.

The great thing about a mask is that you can use it several times.  Just be sure the ink on the masking paper is dried, so you don't rub it onto your next card (don't ask me how I know this).  I paired the Coffee Kitty with the Flower Doodles Background using Brown for the Cat and Tiger Lily Orange for the background.

For this cat, I paired him with a sentiment from Cat Greetings with the coordinating sentiment on the inside.

I hope I've given you some fun ideas for how to use your Technique Junkies background stamp collection ... go give masking a try.

Get Well Soon

Hello fellow stampers!  Enjoying this summer heat?  I sure am!

My mojo has found it's way back to me, after a long hiatus, and I got six cards made over the weekend.

Today, my card used A Colorful Life Stencils paired with Summer Bouquet and Get Well Soon.

I started out placing my stencil over 110 lb white cardstock and misting it with Thulian Pink Shimmering Bliss.  The shimmer that shows up is so awesome. Next, I added my flowers and sentiment.

These stamps, stencils, and any other product you choose to purchase (excluding clearance rack) are subject to 10% off simply by using my code TJ10Beth. 

It won't be long now before our August 1st release is upon us.  I'm so excited!

Cheers!

Faux Heat Embossing With Shimmering Bliss Spray!

Happy Monday!

This is a quick and easy card using Shimmering Bliss directly on a stamp to give the look of heat embossing. Bet you didn't know you can stamp with it! 

1. I made a washy watercolor background and let it dry

2. Using my MISTI, I stamped the Texture Nautilus stamp using a brown waterproof ink. 

3. I sprayed the Texture Nautilus stamp with Worn Saddle Shimmering Bliss and stamped again.

4. Let dry and add sentiment (Saltwater Heals).

Love Letters In The Sand

Hello, Lynda Joy here with a card using the Zen Shells stamp from the July release...

I also used the a stamp from the older Seashells Set of 5 for the verse. 

I stamped the Zen Shells stamp onto white cardstock, inking the stamp with different shades of mini distress pads.  For the verse, I white embossed it onto a die cut heart, and added it with foam tape.  Some satin ribbon finish off the panel,which I attached to an A2 card.

Easy-peasy!  I love quick, easy cards that look, elegant.  

I hope you enjoyed the July release stamps and the designer's inspiration for you this month.
