Nesties Spotlight by Judy Jackson

The Nesties Spotlight technique is on the Emboss or Die CD from Technique Junkie. Have you purchased yours yet?

I love this vintage image of a young family by Artistic Outpost. The little girl is so sweet eating her apple. All of the family were colored in with Copic markers. Two different Nestabilities dies were used to spotlight the sweet little baby girl. A bit of lace and a bit of bling add the accents to embellish this card.

How thankful I am for the past generations in my own family and the heritage they gave me. I hope my own children will appreciate their own heritage as they grow older.

Have a wonderful day with your family.

White on White

Hey!  Ann Clack here today!

I happened to use one of the techniques from the new Emboss or Die CD today.  This one is called White on White.  Although I do have a lot of color on my card.  This is one of the designs I'm working up for cards for an International Rhododendron Society convention in May!  I love the 'class' that the white on white gives this card.  Hope you enjoy.

Faux Delft Tiles

Hi!  Donna here.  I made a card last week with a little Dutch girl image and complete forgot about this technique from the new Emboss or Die CD.  I know, I know...how could I?  To make up for my Faux Delft Tiles faux pas, I decided to showcase the technique in my post today.  Oh my, I'm adding this one to my list of fave techniques!

Happy Friday, Junkies!

Cuttlequilt by Hetty

Yes, the new cd is here: Emboss or die! I love the title. How can one live without the cuttlebug... I thought I could, but now that I have it, I cannot live without using it. So many wonderful ways of using it and it is all on one cd! Here is one of the techniques called "Cuttlequilt". And I guess the name says it all.
What I like about this technique is that you can use all the little pieces that are lying around. Or all those background try-outs that you haven't used yet. Here is what you can do with it.

If you want to know all about the technique,

hit the button and buy that cd for your

technique library. You won't regret it.

Enough promotion? I hope so!

Have a creative day!

First Signs of Spring.....

{Jane Bosi} Well, we all know I can't be talking about the weather! We've got another foot of snow predicted for us here in Wisconsin for tomorrow--I'm not thrilled to say the least! I WAS thrilled, however, to receive this new, sweet image from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design--I had to ink it up right away! The image is called "1st Signs of Spring" by Carmen Medlin. My background features the Wet Stencil technique (TJNL, August 2009) and a fun stencil, Flower Frenzy, also from SCACD. I hope YOU are warm and inky--

TTFN, Jane

Nesties Spotlighting

When I first came up with this technique, I had intended it for more elaborate Nestibilities Shapes -- but it works well with Nesties rectangles, too!

This is an example of Nestibilities Spotlighting from the new Emboss or Die CD. I LOVE this card -- so perfect for a Sympathy card. Stamps are from I Brake for Stamps (sentiment) and smARTworks (leaves).

This is one of  79 tutorials on the Emboss or Die CD - have you ordered yours yet? If not - go HERE to order it. Have a great day!

Maroon Tri Shutter

Hi TJ friends from Kathie McGuire!! I'm here today to share a Tri-Shutter card from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD.

I stamped the images (from Clearly Impressed) onto some background paper I purchased a year or two ago from Costco. I used a maroon dye based ink for most of the images, and added some more dimension by stamping the rest of the images with Gold Brilliance.

I hope you enjoy my very maroon creation; and, thanks for stopping by today!!
