Try That Technique - Washi Tape Shaker Card

I created this sweet St. Patrick's Day card for my nephews.  The little shamrocks were created with my Silhouette Cameo. 

The image is colored with copics using the No Line coloring technique.  The image is from Magnolia.


Hope you have a crafty day!

Designer Paper Starburst


Hello there.  Feeling the luck of the Irish these days and couldn't resist making some cards to send to my family.

When I make a card I traditionally try to use a TJ technique and the Designer Paper Starburst cried out for this one.  Rather than using DP I used colourful cardstock to create a rainbow.  The corner is well hidden by the icicle punch I used to make grass.

My cloud dies are from My Favorite Things and my stamp is Leprechaun Luka from La La Land Crafts.

New to Copics I turned to You Tube to help me with my colouring.

Thanks for stopping by.

Holly Brown: Paper Piecing Flower Girl


Hi folks, it's Holly posting today.  One of my favorite TJ techniques is Paper Piecing, and I love using it when I have a cute line art stamped image.  On my card today, I've paper pieced the girl's dress, the flower, and her headband with the same yellow patterned paper that I used at the bottom of the card.  It's a fun way to add a little oomph to a stamped image.

Watercolor Reinkers Technique with Technique Junkie Stamps

I just love so many of the stamps from the Technique Junkie stamp line.  And I have been enjoying looking at the stamps I now have and trying to revisit some older techniques from the Technique Junkie newsletter.  This one features the Watercolor Reinkers Technique from the February 2012 newsletter.

I used a piece of designer paper and then layered the two stamped pieces using the Watercolor Reinker technique on the base card.  I love how technique pulls the two stamped images together.

This would be  a fun birthday, thinking of you, or get well card.

I hope you have a crafty day!

Fancy Petals


Hello again everyone, Jackie K back again with the Fancy Petals Technique.
 
 

These cards sure come together fast once you make the flowers. There are so many options to use when making the flowers. Different papers, different flowers, and the punch possibilities are endless. I regret that I used this sentiment stamp because I don't know who makes it. Once again, I have had some stamps for over 20 years, many unmounted. That was long before I realized I should keep track of that information. If anyone knows I would really appreciate a shout out! 
 
Give this a try and remember to post to the yahoo group so we can all enjoy the fruits of your creative labor.
 
See you back here soon!
