Flip Flop Memories

 Hello!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 cards to share today, using a couple of fun new stamps, #SDX191 Flip Flop Memories, and #SD1102 At the Beach Border from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

The beach scene was stamped and colored with Copic Markers, prior to framing it up with some 'sandy' looking designer paper from my stash. The sentiment was stamped onto the 'hill'. A cute sunny die cut finished this one off nicely.

And here is card number two:

For this card, my backgrounds were made by stamping #S747 Sudsy Stuff with some blue inks. After stamping the background, I sprayed a light coating of Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss over the panels. A couple of fun die cuts, and the fun flip flop sentiment make this one a winner!

These were both fun to make - I'm having a lot of fun with this July release!

So glad you stopped by today!

Foiled Mermaid Vibes

 

Foil adds incredible dimension and shine to handmade cards, don't you think? Transfer Gel Duo makes it easy to use with this Flowing Drops Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. The Mermaid Vibes stamp was part of our new release this month, too.

Card Inspiration | Vintage Butterfly | Sandpaper Road

 

Today, I am pleased to share some card inspiration with everyone! This project was a creative "retreat" for me, as I played with lots of inks and supplies from my stash.

Here's how I created this encouragement card:

Shimmering Bliss Lighthouses

 

I used Lighthouses and sprayed them with two shades of  Shimmering Bliss - Ocean Depth and Mindaro.    The verse is from Lighthouse Sentiments.   I heated embossed with detail black embossing powder so the images and words would really stand out.  The heat embossed powder also resisted the sprays and it would wipe off.  

Perhaps you love all of the stamps in July release and you "gotta have them all"  and you get a great savings!

Have a terrific day and make some time to get inky!!

 

 

 

 

 

Lost Without You

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting, and I'm back to share a distressed collage-style card with y'all today.  I had been playing around with some watercolor inks and there was some ink left over on my craft mat.  Instead of wiping it off with a paper towel and tossing it, I smooshed some white cardstock all over it until most of the ink was on the paper.  I set it aside to dry and this gorgeous background is what I got.  

I inked up the new Butterfly Flourish Collage stamp from Technique Junkies with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink and stamped it right onto that smooshed ink background.  This distress oxide ink dries a bit lighter than what you see with the regular distress inks.  So when this background was completely dry, it looked perfect with that distress-y background.  Instead of a dark bold black, it's more like a faded black or dark grey color over those blues and grays and pops of red.  It's just stunning with a vintage, distress, collage-style stamp.  I used the same Black Soot Distress Oxide ink to stamp the sentiment from the Lighthouse Sentiments set.

You can get this Black Soot Distress Oxide ink from Technique Junkies along with the stamps I've used here for a one-stop shopping trip.  Be sure to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% off your order.  Enjoy your day!
