Our last three shows

 

Technique Junkies' Last Three Shows   Hamburg NY August 24-25 Stamp Scrap Art Tour Westminster MD - Sept 7 - 8 Stamp Scrap Art Tour Hampton VA Oct 19 - 20 Stamp Scrap Art Tour Our Retirement Plans... We are retiring from the road...and our last three Stamping shows are upon us. Please take note of the three remaining shows on our schedule. If they are in your area, please plan on coming by to say goodbye! And, Sadly... Our plans for retirement are moving forward. We will only be operating our website for the rest of 2024 and partially into 2025. Due to the closure of one of the major rubber manufacturers, we have had to adjust our own stamp manufacturing schedule. After our current supply of rubber is exhausted, we will be selling items from our inventory only - so if you have items on your wishlist you may want to order now! As of right now, our final full stamp release will be September 1st. Several additional Christmas stamps may be released in October depending on our rubber supply. Stay tuned! Coming to one of the remaining shows? Here are our Show Specials! Buy 5 stamps get the 6th FREE* Spend $40.00, Get a free Specialty Stamp Set** One full rack of specially priced stamps, plus additional clearance items! (New!) Although we won't be at shows next year, the shows will still go on... While the decision to cut shows from our schedule next year is not an easy one, rest assured that the shows will still go on without us in 2025 and beyond. Please continue to support the shows - or any show in your area - the vendors travel far and wide and EVERYONE appreciates your attendance and your business.

Wise Words

Hello, Jeanette here. I'm back again with another blog post featuring Technique Junkies stamps from the July 15th release. Haven't the cards from this release been fun?!?!?! Seriously. There are so many great stamps in the release.

I have two cards to share today.

It's Okay and previously released Tropical Palm Fronds:

I stamped a sentiment on the inside from the previously released Cancer Sucks stamp set. 

No card can make this better but here's one anyway.

Abstract Florals and previously released In Full Bloom Sentiments:

Can't help filling that cart...

 Isn't this true? Who ever leaves Costco with only one thing? I know I don't.

Today's card uses the Costco Shopping Cart rubber stamp with the Tire Track stamp in the background. The shopping cart is a die, and the items in it were cut from Patterned paper in my stock. What a great greeting card to send to a fellow shopper!

Both stamps available from Technique Junkies.

Let Someone Know That It's Okay Not To Be Okay

 

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday.  Design Team Member Michael here with a reminder that It's Okay Not To Be Okay!  I have a friend who is struggling with some mental health issues.  We talk almost every day on WhatsApp but I wanted to send her a hand-written message in a hand-made card to let her know I'm there for her.  

I used the Abstract Florals and It's Okay stamps to make this quick card.   

• I stamped Abstract Florals on a piece of scrapbook paper that already had a distressed ink look to it.  You can also make your own using Distress Inks and some water.
• I used a rectangle die to cut 3 sections out of the stamped image.  Then I adhered my background to my card front.
• I layered the rectangle pieces on a piece of black cardstock and adhered them to the card front using foam tape - to raise the pieces off the card front.
• I stamped It's Okay on white cardstock, die-cut it using a circle die, then die-cut a piece of black cardstock using the next die up in size.  Layered the sentiment on the black and then to the card front. 

I left the inside of the card blank so that I had space to write a note to my friend.  

I'd love to know what you think of this card idea.  Also, if you love the idea and go shopping on the Technique Junkies website, use my code at checkout to save 10% on your whole order - TJ10Michael.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and, until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

TJ Inkspirations: Clean and Simple Cards with Aladine Birthday Stamps

Clear and Simple Stamping Today we are using one stamp set - the clear Birthday set from Aladine (available from Technique Junkies) to create 4 simple birthday cards. The set is in limited quantity and is here: https://techniquejunkies.com/clear-birthday-stamp-set-aladine-stampo-clear/ The video is HERE ( or click on the image below):

Now I wait...

 Do you do what you love? Our slightly snarky stamp celebrates the old adage... Just the card to make someone smile.

Today we are using the Three Diamonds Stencil from ACLD - available from Technique Junkies, below). All of the ACLD stencils are 20%% off through the end of today (August 15%) at Technique Junkies, too!

I used the Now I Wait stamp (like also below) as my sentiment. A little ink blending, a few sequins, and voila! A card to make someone chuckle.

Let's Go!

 

I used two TechniqueJunkies stamps for this card; the Adventure banner from the most recent release and a compass from the earlier Play Like A Pirate.  I stamped them on some burlap DSP and added die cut mountains and trees and a leather strap sticker.  Get these and all the other great TJ stamps at TechniqueJunkies.com and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!
