SIMPLE SWIPES SEA SHELL BAY

Hello Junkies! This is Chrissy D here today! I used the Simple Swipes technique from the February/ March issue ofTechnique Junkies. I then stamped The Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two stamp set from JustRite Designs available at Classy Cards 'n Such in Versamark Ink and sprinkled Black Fine Detail Embossing Powder over the image and heat set it with the Heat Tool.

I layered the Eggplant 3 7/8" x 5 1/8", 3 3/34" x 5" Layering Swatches #1 Metallic -pegasus  Embossed with DOTS Embossing Folder, 3 3/4" x 2"   Layering Swatches #1 Metallic -Bluebell, Embossed with Scrollworks Embossing Folder, punched strip (with Martha Stewart Victorian Edge punch) of Eggplant onto the 11" x 4 1/4" Not Quite Navy cardstock using ATG Tape for adhesive. I then popped up the focal image using the JOY! Foam Pads Small to give the card some dimension.

Using the Silver Viva Pearl Pen , I added some accents in each of the corners and across the Victorian punched edge. Once that dried, I used the Cream Viva Pearl Pen and added a dotted border around the entire card.To finish off the card, I wrapped the Silver Cord around and tied a bow!
I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Cut Borders by Ann

Welcome to a beautiful Saturday.  I'm Ann Clack!  As a designer, we always see the tutorials several months in advance.  We are assigned several techniques as well as several we pick of our own.  I didn't get to work on this technique yet called Cut Borders.  So easy and really fun! 

I love how this card came out.  The stamp set (shells) is by Stampin Up.  The words are computer generated.  The blue paper to the side is from Paper Temptress and boy oh boy........it is absolutely wonderful.  Just a hint of sparkle and perfect for making you think of sparkling sand!

Enjoy!

Silhouette Daydream

Hi TJers! It's Holly posting today, and I've used the Silhouettes technique from the 12/10 issue on this card today. I started by sponging my background with distress inks and then I stamped this girl from Rogue Redhead Designs. I wanted a softer silhouette look, so I morphed the technique a bit. It's fun to try out new techniques and then play around with them to see what happens. :-)

Thank you card

 Hello, here Hetty, with one of the 

techniques from the last newsletter.

This technique is called copic colored embossing,

You find it in the April May 2012 Newsletter.

It is absolutely a fun and easy technique.

Faux Quilted Diamonds--Stampin' Companion CD

{Jane Bosi} Good morning, Stampers!! Today I am sharing a card I created using the Faux Quitled Diamonds tutorial. The tutorial is located on the Stampin' Companion CD. If you don't have a copy of the CD yet, you can order it right here OR visit TJNL at the Heirloom Stamp Show this weekend in Allentown, PA!! That cute little flamingo is a digital image from I Brake For Stamps (a TJ vendor). The sentiments are from an older set I have made by Firecraker Designs by Pamela. I've shared some thoughts on my personal blog about digital stamps, you can read it here :) I hope you are all having an inky day--TTFN, Jane

Cut Borders by Judy Jackson

This fun card was created with the Cut Borders technique from the April-May 2012 TJ newsletter.

Stamp credits are Stampers Anonymous and Stampin' Up!

The verse and these fun little froggies just seemed to go together. A touch of glimmer spritz and and some googly eyes just add to the card. I had fun creating this card for you.

This is a fun new way to create a border for the focal image on a card.

I hope you have a great -- and creative -- day!

Hi fellow Junkies!! It’s Jackie Kalchert saying hello with another one of the 70 great tutorials on the Stampin’ Companion CD. Above you can see one of my favorite card folds from the CD. I have made the Accordion Pop Up Card, which is a gift all by itself, and a really fun card to make.

I used tissue paper and sides from an empty tissue box from the 99 Cent Store. The tissue paper was used on the card front background. Then a piece of the tissue box was mounted on top that.

The coat and shoes were cut on my Cricut using the Pagoda Cartridge. The red and black cardstock I used is from Paper Temptress, the Pop Tones Collection.

The inside card background is designer paper left over from another project. The geishas are from the Hearts In Touch Oriental set stamped on Cryogen White from Paper Temptress. The lanterns are from the same Cricut cartridge.

Hope you are having a great week. Thanks for stopping by to look.

Jackie
