Autumn Collage Card Set

 

Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Is it feeling like fall where you are yet?  This week the early morning temperatures have been down around 67 and 66, and it feels wonderful!  Then it heats up to 97 and reminds us that it's still summer here.  LOL  I've been enjoying the cool temps by walking outside early in the morning while the sun is rising.  The leaves are not changing yet, but wouldn't it be wonderful if our leaves could look like the ones on these cards?  

I pulled out some distress ink pads and randomly inked up the beautiful new Leaf Collage stamp from Technique Junkies.  I love all these color combinations!  I then paired them with different sentiments that I stamped on vellum.  I have listed the stamps and inks used in the pictures below.

Leaf Collage and Leaves Turn

Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Stormy Sky distress inks

Leaf Collage and Autumn

Antique Linen, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Peacock Feathers distress inks

A Little Witch in all of us

 

Okay, so I would like to say that this isn't true for me...but it is. This playful Witch in all of Us sentiment stamp works so well with the Best Witches Set. These witches are so much fun; almost blasé. Here is the whole set - take a look at the words on the sashes - they are so much fun!

So...do you have a little witch in you?

TJ Inkspiration: Glittering Rain

 

Glittering Rain with Stenciled Diamonds

You have to try this!

Technique Junkies and A Colorful Life Designs Stencils collaborated this month to create a matching stencil and sentiment combination that are perfect together. Today we have a video using the Rainy Stencil and the TJ Rain Sentiments with the awesome Diamonds from Aladine for a sparkling effect. We have featured Aladine Diamonds in the past, but the great new is that the Diamonds now come in packs of 5, allowing you to have a few of each color at a super reasonable price! The best part about the Diamonds is that they stay put - no loose glitter with these! I have a kit for you today, too, so that you can make the example I show in the video, plus so many more combinations! You can find the Glittering Rain Kits here, along with all of the individual pieces and parts if you would rather get them separately. One last thing! We just added the Hampton VA Stamp Show to our schedule! The show is scheduled for October 23 & 24 - the link to the show is below the artwork.

Here's how!

On the Road Again! Meet us on the Road at our next show: Westminster MD: September 10 - 12 Hampton VA: October 23 - 24 Allentown PA: October 30 - 31

Bloody handprint

 To me, the Bloody Handprint stamp is the scariest stamp in the Technique Junkies line. Something about the unspoken here - what the handprint says without words - is just terrifying. For those who love a scary Halloween stamp, this is the one! I paired it here with the Bloody Halloween sentiment for a simple, frightful card.

Technique Junkies Zombies and Bloody Halloween

Hello! Do you love the popular Zombie TV show? I sure do! I was super excited to see this new stamp from Technique Junkies called Zombies from the September 2021 New Release. I paired it with the Bloody Halloween sentiment, also from the September 2021 new release.

Today is the final day to get the new September stamps on sale for 15% off.  Here is a link to the September stamps: https://techniquejunkies.com/september-2021-new-stamp-release/

I created a video of how I made my card:

To create my card, I followed these steps:

1. Using Masking paper, I cut a circle out and placed the masking paper (not the circle itself but the paper around the circle) down on an A2 Card Panel (Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cover paper, size 5.5" x 4.25")

2. Using Catherine Pooler ink in Black Jack and a foam domed blender tool, I lightly ink blended the circle to create a moon. I removed the masking paper. 

3. Next, I used the new Simple Ground Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs to create the ground that the mummies are standing on. I used Catherine Pool Black Jack ink to ink blend the ground. 

4. I stamped the Zombie stamp with Catherine Pooler Midnight Archival Ink.

5. I used Pan Pastels and the Cloud Edger Stencil to create a spooky sky in purple and grey. 

6. I stamped the Bloody Halloween sentiment with Catherine Pooler Midnight Archival Ink then fussy cut the sentiment. I used foam tape to pop the sentiment up on the card panel. 

7. I used a foam domed blending tool to ink blend the edges of the panel and then adhered it to an A2 card base.
