Try That Technique - Painted Burlap

Hi Junkies, Tricia here with this week's Try That Technique, Painted Burlap.

I used papers and stamps from Gina K Designs.  I airbrushed the snowflake on the painted burlap using one of my stencils.  I added some lace and dimensional pearls.

I hope you will play along this week.  For our fellow Americans, here's wishing you and yours a very happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Puppy Love

I made a card for our Dog sitter using the Peek-a-Boo Holes Technique in the current newsletter.

 This image looks so similar to my dog- always greeting me with a tennis ball in his mouth and waiting to play!  The images are stamped in Chocolate Chip ink from SU onto shimmery cardstock from Paper Temptress. I used punches to create the puppy paws.

Have a great day!

Out of The Box

Hello Junkies, Tricia here...

I made this Christmas Card using the out of the box technique.

The digital stamps are from Karen's Doodles and the sentiment is from Stampin Up!  I used copics to color the images with copics.  I popped up Santa with pop dots.  The cardstock and designer papers are from Gina K Designs.

Hope you have a crafty day!

Angelic Peek a Boo Holes

Hello, Beth Norman, here with this week's technique Peek A Boo Holes.  It is a technique that can be used many different ways, but my favourite is with snowflakes.  It adds an element of surprise, don't you think?    I like how this card turned out and plan to make more of them for next year's Christmas cards for my mom and two sisters.

My Copic markers are three years old and I'm only just now starting to use them, having been a die-hard coloured pencil fan.  I love the look of Copic markers so you'll be seeing me use them more.  As you may know, I love to colour and most of my cards use some method of colouring.  I like to use Tombow markers as well.  What do you like to colour with? 

My new-to-me stamp is from Penny Black. 

I do hope you join us with this week's Technique of the Week.  I'll be watching for them on our Yahoo group.

Peek A Boo Holes

Hey Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks Try That Technique...another great technique called Peek A Book Holes.

This is such a versatile technique...won't you play along?

Stamps:  I Brake For Stamps; Stampin Up!; Impression Obsession

This cute little reindeer was colored with copics.  I also used my stencil to make a subtle background behind him.  The sentiment and peppermint stamps are from Stampin Up!  The background swirls are a stamp from Impression Obsession.

I would love to see your take on this technique...have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Friends! Kathie McGuire here today to share a project with a spring feeling that can be easily changed to fit your holiday gift giving needs. This is a bag topper I created to match the gifts inside. I used the Pencil Over Marker technique from the 2/05 Technique Junkies newsletter. I hope you've enjoyed the project, and thanks for stopping by!

More Velveteen Stamping - Technique of the Week by Judy Jackson

Howdy from Judy Jackson!  There have been some just gorgeous samples shown on this blog from the Technique Junkie Design Team.  We hope you have enjoyed these!  I have two cards to share with you today.

As with some other samples it is hard to get a good scan showing the second stamp but it is there.  Stamp credits - Hero Arts, Stampin' Up, and Art Neko.   This is a fun technique and not very complicated and it yields quite interesting results.   It seems to work best with one background stamp that has quite solid areas.  Then the second background stamps shows up better.

And this one will sent out as one of my Christmas cards. I have created 150 Christmas cards this year.  They are not all the same design. I usually make about 4-6 different designs and mass produce about 25-30 of each design.  I do still have to stamp the inside verse on a bunch.  Stamp credits for this card are all  from Stampin' Up.   

Now my hubby has to write the Christmas letter!

Do you craft your own Christmas cards?  What special technique are you using?  Have a super stamping day!
