Thank you for stopping by today.  Happy stamping!

Hello TJ Friends~ Kathie McGuire here today to share an Embossed Stickles card from the Shimmer, Glimmer, Sparkle, and Shine CD. I love all things glitzy, so I was excited to try this for the first time. Wow, what a great way to increase the usage of embossing folders! It was fast and easy and the results are well worth the small amount of time it takes to do this technique. I hope you've enjoyed your visit to the TJ Blog today, and I sure hope will you try the Embossed Stickles technique. ~Kathie

Embossed Stickles at Sunset

Hello, Beth Norman, here with an Embossed Stickles card.  What a fun way to use Stickles.   I have about 20 different colours--they are so addictive.   You will find this technique on the the Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine CD.

My Small Couple stamp is from Impression Obsession, one of our sponsors.  They have a new challenge every two weeks and I am submitting this card for their "I'm Thankful For" challenge this week.  Can you tell I'm thankful for my cuddle time?

I stamped out the Small Couple stamp and then masked the couple and created a sun.  Next, I masked the sun and the couple and brayered  Spectrum Kaleidacolor ink over to create the sky.  Finally, I coloured in grass with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS.  I think the Embossed Stickles technique accented this image beautifully. 

I encourage you to join in on our weekly challenges.  If you don't have the CD, you can click the link above.  It is one of my favourite CD's, and I'm sure it will be yours too.

Technique of the Week: Embossed Stickles

Happy Monday - it's time for the Technique of the Week! Today we are celebrating a technique from the Shimmer Glimmer Sparkle and Shine CD: Embossed Stickles. Folks, this is such a cool, textural, sparkly technique - you will fall in love with it when you try it!

I wish I could have gotten a better picture of this -- between the texture in the background, the sparkle, and the mirrored sunglasses, a good shot was almost impossible. Hopefully you get the idea between the two pictures. Cool Texture...cool Sparkle. Great Technique!

Try this technique this week, and post it to the egroup or send it to me to post. I would love to see what you do! If you do not have the CD, it is still available. It has 45 tutorials on it, and is $14.95. It may be purchased on the sidebar, or HERE,

Go get Sparkly!

Holly Brown: Triangle Shaker Kitty Card

Hi folks!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this sweet Triangle Shaker Card that I made last week.  If you go to any of the trade shows where Technique Junkies will be a vendor, you can see this card in person along with TONS of other samples. When you pick it up, the tiny little beads inside the triangle roll around.  (You can see a list of upcoming shows on this page here.)

The Triangle Shaker Card technique is on the Fancy Folds and Motion CD (available here).  These adorable stamps are from My Cute Stamps - my mom gave these to me for Christmas and I just had to ink them up.  The dotted background stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Don't forget, this week's Technique of the Week is the Faux Paint Swatch technique from the current newsletter (April/May 2013).  Play along and share your artwork with us!  :-)

Chocolate Bar Card

From the Shape It CD.

I had to add the bite to the card. Chocolate doesn't stand a chance around me, LOL! The verse is from Club Stamp.  Remember you can purchase both the Shape It CD and the Move It CD together for only $17.95, or either CD may be purchased for $9.95. They can be purchased here.

 There are literally hours and hours of fun on these 2 CD's.

Enjoy!
