Try That Technique - Velveteen Stamping

It's that time of the week again...this weeks Try That Technique is Velveteen Stamping. 

 
It's hard to see the swirls on the snowflakes but you can see them much better IRL.
 
I used Stampin Up! white craft ink and blue chalk ink. 
I didn't have a great background stamp with large areas so
I used my stamps and created my own. 
The snowflake was cut and inked from a Spellbinders die.
Sentiment is from Stampin Up!
 
Won't you join us today?  We love to see your cards!
 
Happy Crafting!

Snowman Highlights

Hi, Bloggers!  Ann Clack here with a little Cuttlebug Highlights on this cute snowman.  I have a lady in our stamping group that used this snowman as an ornament.  She was published in Stampers Sampler.  Lucky Girl!  I made this one into a card by folding my paper and cutting it with the die.  I held the fold a little lower than the top of the snowman's head. 

The snowman was cut out of a tag board weight paper that was plain grey on one side and white on the other.    The Cuttlebug Highlights were sanded instead of inked.  I used punches for the snowflakes on his hat and body.  Elizabeth Craft glitter dots on the little snowflakes and glitter on the hearts.

Technique of the Week

 
 
 


Hi everyone, Jackie K here with the TOTW which is the Chain Link technique from the current newsletter. I hope you enjoy this card and it encourages you to try this fun, fast, and easy technique. You have seen some other wonderful examples from the other Design Team members and from members of the TJ Yahoo group. So give it a try. Post your results so that we can all be inspired by what you create.
I had to improvise on the punch so as you see anything is possible with a bit of ingenuity. The sentiment is an oldie but a goodie from Club Scrap.
I will be back in a couple of days with the next TOTW which I'm sure you will enjoy!
Keep on creating, it is good for your soul!
 
There is also something different about this card but for now it is a secret....you may find it in a future newsletter.

Chain Link





Hello, Beth Norman, here.  How is your week going so far?  Enjoying the cooler temperatures?  I'm already wearing my winter coat.

To brighten things up for you, I created a Chain Link card using stamps from Mark's Finest Papers.  I love sunflowers, hence the name of my blog Sunflowers and Dragonflies.  My image was coloured with Copic markers.

To create my band that separates the sentiment from the chain link, I used Washi tape.  Gotta love the stuff!

Thank you for taking the time to drop by.

Washi Weave

Hi Technique Junks!

Hetty here, with one of the techniques rom the
Oct/Nov 2013 newsletter. Have you tried them?
Today I need a quick one, for I am just back
from the Club Scrap retreat in Kiberley Wisconsin
(whisch ofcourse was fantastic, meeting friends
and getting so much new inspiration).

I chose the online bonus technique:
Washi Weave.
There are so many diffrent rolls of
washi paper around and a lot of people
are trying to find some fun use
for it. How about using it
for decorating the background paper?
Halloween inspiration with Tim Holtz 
Mini Halloween 3 stamps that I just
bought in the US in my short shopping time
in between workshops.

It was fun to create cards again, but now i have to
go back to do some mor unpacking and gettin
my craft room organized with all
the new goodies!
 
Have a creative day!
