Diet Wagon

Happy New Year, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this fun card using the new Diet Wagon stamp from the January 2020 release.  Don't we all make that New Year's resolution to stick to a certain diet and then by day 2, we're over it??  LOL  

I decided to give this diet wagon the ol' heave ho with a burned edges look.  The fire and the wagon were quickly watercolored and I sponged some Antique Linen distress ink all over the piece.  On the edges, I dragged Walnut Stain distress ink and then streaked it here and there.  After I distressed the edges with a distress tool, I adhered this to a dark brown card base.

All of the new January 2020 release stamps are 15% off through January 8.  You can use my code, TJ10Holly, for an additional 10% off for a total of 25% off the new release stamps.  Have fun!

Technique Junkies New Release "I HATE LOSING"

I LOVE being on the Technique Junkies Design Team! I'm allowed complete artistic freedom with the stamps. Which is a good thing because I'm really NOT a good card maker. At ALL.

Nope. I'm not kidding. Brain doesn't work that way, Chicas.

But I CAN bring them to life in my own way. Take my LOL Girrrl up there. She's fabulous! She's also FREE. That's right...she's an old ad image and although many have taken her and put them into collage sheets and sell them, all of these images are free. So head to google images and have at it!

Believe it or not, I have a quite a demand for these. They're refrigerator magnets, as you can see by the...well, by the magnet.

I take a small tin can. An Altoid can, in this instance. Using matte Mod Podge, I cover it with paper. Then, I use pearls, rhinestones to hide the rough edges. But use trim or fabric or whatever! Touch up your image with Stickles, use some mounting tape, cut your sentiment to fit and put in the CAKE! Or wine bottle. Or whatever.

In this case, I used Technique Junkies New Release Sentiment "I Hate Losing"

FORTUNATELY FOR YOU PEOPLE, Technique Junkies is offering 15% off their New Releases until the 8th!!

Truly Madly Deeply

Happy Monday!

I have a Valentine card to share today.

I wanted a muted background with a splash of color so I used a pale tan ink on the Valentine Love background stamp. I used my MISTI to restamp after adding light pink (I used a water based marker) on the lips. Next I stamped the Truly Madly Deeply sentiment in red ink. I used a 
paintbrush and water to wet the ink and let it bleed a bit. I added some splatters with the same ink. 
Once dry I used my MISTI to restamp the sentiment again in red.

Don't forget to add the code TJ10Jeanne for 10% off at Technique Junkies!

Seeds of Today

Happy Sunday!  Lynda Joy here, with a quick and easy card for today's inspiration.  
While I have really enjoyed creating so many holiday cards these past few weeks, I'm ready to get back to some every day stamping.

Technique Junkies stamps:  
Dogwood Blossom 
Seeds of Today 

I chose this lovely little dogwood stamp, and kept my card to two colors to keep it simple.  I inked the stamp in my Misti, using distress minis.  I added the lightest colors first, then gradually built up to the darker shading colors.  I love the Misti for this technique.  

I added some additional color to the flower with pastel pencils, and blended it out with a tortillion.

The verse was stamped with cocoa ink.  I added some distressed edges with distress ink and a brush, then layered it onto a green panel, then onto the card.

That is it!  Easy-peasy.  I hope you are able to find some time to create today.  It feels good to be back in my craft room after all of the holiday festivities.
 
If you're doing some shopping at the TJ store, don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, to get 10% off your entire purchase.

Birthday Sunflower

Hello everyone, it's Ceal here to share a card with you today. 

I can't believe Christ has come and gone and now it is time to stock up on birthday cards. 

For my card I used one of my favorites, Single Sunflower along with the Textured Newsprint and Happy Birthday sentiment. You can save 10% on these stamps and your entire order by using my code TJ10Ceal.

To create the card I started with a white top folding card base, a panel of black onyx for the mat, a couple panels of watercolor paper for the image and background. I stamped the Textured Newsprint on the one of the watercolor paper panels and then spritzed it with Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss. Next I stamped the Single Sunflower on the other panel of watercolor paper and then stamped the Textured Newsprint on top and colored it using Copic markers. I fussy cut it out and added it to the front of the card and to finish it up I added a birthday greeting.
