Take Time

 



 This is a combination of several stamps and techniques. I spritzed shimmer spray over the stamped image Leaves Background.  The I stamped Dripping Spider Web on vellum and the verse Leaves Turn just below it.  I added a few iridescent rhinestones for interest.  

If you want nearly all of the stamps, it would be a very good deal to buy the "Gotta Have It All"  deal, AND you can have a discount of 10% off of everything else not on sale by using the code TJ10Judy.

 



Have a terrific day! I hope it is still warm for you. And don't forget to get inky!

Grateful Leaves Trio

 


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I have a fun card to share with you.  These new Grateful Leaves from Technique Junkies have the words carved into the stamps, so I stamped all three of them with a rustic purple ink and then cut them out with scissors.  I used the same ink to stamp the Distressed Paint background, and then I arranged the leaves and adhered them with foam tape.  I love this Distressed Paint stamp - it goes with just about anything when you want that crackled, distressed, woodgrain-ish look.  The final touch was some sheer ribbon wrapped around the top as an elegant contrast to the distressed background.  

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your order, so check out the Grateful Leaves and the Distressed Paint stamps.  You can see all of the September release stamps HERE and you can check out the newest Diamond Dragonflies Kit HERE.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Fright Night and Spooky Pumpkin Frame

Hello! Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here with a fun Halloween Card. I used the new Spooky Pumpkin Frame and the previously released Fright Night Sentiment. I also used Catherine Pooler Inks. You can find all these products here:  https://techniquejunkies.com/  Use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your entire order

I ink blended my background with foam domed daubers using these Catherine Pooler Ink Colors: Chiffon, Catching Rays and Glitz. I stamped the Spooky Pumpkin Frame onto the ink blended background using Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I stamped the Fright Night sentiment, trimmed it with the Deckle Trimmer and popped the sentiment up with foam tape. I backed the sentiment with a piece black mat cardstock, trimmed with the Deckle Trimmer. I used dies from my stash to add three black  bats to the panel. I used a piece of yellow cardstock for a mat and placed it onto black A2 Card Base. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today!

Box of Crayon Leaves


Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  It alllllmost feels like fall here, because the mornings are just a tiny bit cooler and crisper than they have been over the past four months.  We are still in the 90's in the afternoons, so it's not quite there yet, but I do think there is some hope for some cool fall weather on the horizon.  So with that in mind, I had a lot of fun with today's card.  

I stamped the new Leaves background from Technique Junkies with a dark brown permanent ink onto some white cardstock and let it dry.  Then I had a blast watercoloring the leaves in various shades of yellow, orange, red, green, and magenta.  While this was drying, I stamped the sentiment from the Autumn set (Technique Junkies) with the same dark brown ink I used for the background.  That sentiment says it all, and it really does look like I used all the crayons in the box to color those leaves, doesn't it?  LOL

Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You'll save 10% off your entire order, so grab this beautiful new Leaves Background stamp and check out all the great fall stamps from this month's release HERE.  Have a great day!
