Ann Clack here with a technique from the most recent newsletter. This is called In the Middle. I changed it up a little by using a border stamp instead of drawing a line. I think it jazzes is up a little. Sometimes your mistakes make something even better! I originally punched the bottom of the panel but my punching wasn't much to be desired so I cut it off. After punching a better scallop edge on a separate piece of paper, I cut it narrow and mounted below the original panel. I like it better this way! In retrospect I could have put little pearls on each scallop for some bling. Maybe I will! Hope you enjoy. The green swirl is from Prickly Pear stamps. I really love that swirl!! The purple flowers and blue butterflies are from an Inkadinkado set....same with the border. The words (there are some on the inside that go with the outside sentiment are unknown. I got them at a Rubber Stamp Convention ages ago. I know this because they have the hook and loop on the back of them. That was the first type of unmounteds that I did. Now I just use Tack N Peel with bare rubber. Much easier!

Holly Brown: Collapsing Cupcake Box
Hi Junkies! It's Holly posting today, and I made this fun Collapsing Cupcake box to share with y'all. The tutorial for this great technique is on the brand new Great Gifts CD. The Great Gifts CD contains 40 brand-new tutorials for gifts for all occasions! All of the tutorials are in step-by-step pictorial format, of course, and are printable to 8 1/2" x 11" paper. It is only $14.95 plus shipping. You can order from the Great Gifts Page:
I decorated my cupcake box with rosettes. The directions for making these rosettes are in the fabulous Rosette Wreath technique, also found on the Great Gifts CD. The picture below shows what the box looks like when you untie the ribbon:
Isn't that cool? I had fun making this box. Just think of all the different patterned papers you could use for making your own cupcake box. Use fall papers, Christmas papers, Valentine papers, birthday papers - the possibilities are endless!

Layered Masked Collage
The possibilities are endless with this technique! It will work with ANY focal image stamp and ANY leaves, branches, script or floral stamps. I used Inkadinkado as my focal image and PSX for my script. The stamp on the left (embossed in white) is from Local King Rubber. I strongly suggest you give this technique a try...you won't be disappointed.
Thanks for looking,
See you in 2 weeks!

Embossed Edges by Judy Jackson
The Embossed Edges Technique creates a wonderful "frame" for the focal point image on your card. The only trick is to leave enough room around your focal image to do the embossing.
Don't you like this beach scene of these antique sail boats from Stamp Camp? I like it very much! Stamp Camp is a new vendor for the Technique Junkie newsletter. Be sure and see her ad for her company. I used a retired Old World background from Stampin' Up. I colored the focal image with Copic markers.
I think is a great masculine card, do you?
Have a creative day!

Hello Dear TJ Friends!
Kathie McGuire here to share a little bird card with you.
The background is a pre-made paper which is also pre-punched on the corners. I got it as a gift from a friend, and this wonderful friend also gave me a package of the brad-like brad embellisment I used in one of the corners. Thank goodness for the Curled Corner technique from the Feb/2000 newsletter, because it allowed me to find the perfect place on the card for this wonderful little doo-dad.
The bird and the bird cage are a Tim Holtz die cut. The gems are a gel-like sticker I purchased at Michael's. One other little addition is some sparkly spica pen on the tree branches.
Thank you for stopping by today and taking a look!
