Cricut and Stamp, June/July 2010

Hi!  Donna here with what is actually the "Cuttlebug and Stamp" technique in my case.  This technique was the online bonus for the June/July 2010 issue. Handmade flowers are all the rage right now, and I've been fooling around with different ways to make them. I thought these flowers came out pretty cute--they remind me of hollyhocks. When I have a few minutes to spare, I plan to make of a bunch of them from some of my scraps so that they are ready to go when I need them.

Oh, and don't forget...Pat's got a wicked cool and easy way to renew your newsletter subscription now. She's also posted a list of the techniques on the new Fancy Folds and Motion Paper Crafts CD, and you can get all of the details on her post here.

Happy Friday!

Smooched Metal Meets Worn Wallpaper by Judy Jackson

As a rubber stamper I have learned to appreciate the various qualities of many inks. Not all inks are created equal. Distress Inks are a unique kind of dye based inks and they are really fun to work with. I have a friend who came over and we spent the morning playing with Distress Inks and using several of the TJ techniques that use Distress Inks. She is a subscriber to the TJ newsletter but hadn't used her Distress Inks until recently.

So this is a card I worked on toward the end of the morning. I didn't get it finished until tonight. The metal tag near the top is where I used the Smooched Metal technique. I used the Brick Texture Fades embossing folder and that is where I used the Worn Wallpaper technique. I added some filmstrip acetate strip, a vintage photo, a ticket piece, Tissue Tape, various ribbons, and a chip board button from my stash to add different elements to the card. This card is larger than most cards I have created. It will likely be a "one-of-a-kind" card. It was certainly fun to make!

I used stamps from Stamper Anonymous and Inkadinkadoo.

I hope you get inky and creative!

More Technique by Design cards by Judy Jackson

 

Hi! Judy Jackson here!

Sometimes design sketches just really appeal to me -- and this one from the October 2010 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter did for sure! So I created several cards using this design sketch. It is fun to see how different cards will look using the same design sketch. I used the Greeting Card Kids set, a word set, and punches from Stampin' Up! for these two cards. The Halloween card also uses the Worn Wallpaper Technique from the August 2010 Newsletter. Aren't these little girls sweet!

Have a great week! JudyJackson
