Happy Thursday, Junkies!!  I've got a little gift set--box and card--to share this morning!  I'm hoping to inspire some craftiness!  This great project from the Washi  Tape + Ribbons CD is perfect for garnishing your Easter table and a ton of other special occasions!

I've chosen the Rolling Washi Box tutorial for part of my project.  Although birthday themed, here, it would be the perfect WOW! filled with candy at each place setting for your Easter table.

Above you see the box open.  Just enough space for some jelly beans, chocolate eggs and a few more sweet treats!

My card is a quick and simple one using the Washi Words tutorial.  I've also used one of my favorite go to sets from Technique Junkie stamps, Simple Sentiments, Set 1a (#SS01a).

What's on your crafty agenda today?  Don't forget to be awesome!

Gelatos Direct

Hello, it's Beth Norman here with Gelatos Direct which can be found on the Bodacious Background CD. 

I love the softness of the background because it gives my stamps a large impact.  These are two of my favourite stamps from the Technique Junkies Stamps.  Here, I stamped out my bird image with black ink, but I find myself colouring it with Tombow markers and huffing on it to give it colour.

Have a good week, and enjoy this warming up of weather we are finally having. 

Altered

Altered.  Think on it.  Read the verse.  Dwell.

I loved this verse and image from first sight so, it was natural for me to combine them into my project for today!

She is Let's Face It 2 found in the Palettini Backgrounds currently on the website.  I'm linking, but you do need to scroll down....a little bird has told me that in just a little bit, the TJ store will be getting a facelift!  I'm so excited!!  Be sure to watch closely for more information--you don't want to miss anything!

The verse is called Everything She Touches (#SD352) and reads:

"She alters everything she touches....and everything she touches alters her."

Isn't that just the truth??  We change things for others and are also changed!  This sentiment resonates with me so strongly!

All this stampy goodness is anchored to my background technique piece.  Working from the Artistic Effects CD and the Goosed Stains tutorial, I created a colorful, sparkly background.  The background stamp, also used, is called Leaf Repeat (#S608).  The sparkle comes from my use of a metallic stain, in addition to the several colors.  This is a great technique!  I encourage each of you to get out your goodies and give it a whirl!

Don't forget to be awesome!  TTFN,
Jane

Rolled Backgrounds

Hi friends.  It's Beth Norman here with the Rolled Backgrounds technique from February 2013.  I love how the rolled backgrounds showcases this lovely stamp from Technique Junkies Stamps.

I thought it was time to bring back some long-forgotten techniques which is why I decided to use this technique.  The trick is to have a good tacky glue.

Thank you for stopping by.

Emboss Resist by Judy Jackson

 

About this time every year I am thinking about what flowers I will plant in my flower garden.  Of course it is way to early to even think about planting any flowers, but it makes look forward to spring and flowers even more than I was already. To me the ideal temperature is between 80 and 100 degrees. I love the warmth -- but not the humidity of Florida and other southern states.

 

 

All of the stamps are Technique Junkie stamps.  The background is ##s576 - Fat Smudged Lines. It makes for an interesting background. The butterflies and the verse are found on these web pages - http://www.stampcamp.com/thingswithwings1.html , http://www.stampcamp.com/Butterflies.html ,  and http://www.stampcamp.com/nature2.html. 

 

Is it warm where you are?  Are you crafting somehow today?  I hope so.

Happy Thursday Junkies!!  Today, I have a springy card to share with you!  It actually fits the weather we have been having for a change!  It's all fluttery and bright!

I adore this Palettini background image, called Vintage Botanicals Collage!  It's so delicate and frilly!
It was the perfect image to combine with the Stained Resist technique from the Artistic Effects CD.  You can learn more about this CD and all that it contains, HERE .

To finish off my project, I didn't want to cover up any of the technique piece so, I went with a simple sentiment from Technique Junkies and a sheer ribbon.

I hope you are inspired to get a little inky today!
TTFN, Jane

Collaged Circles

Hello dear friends, it's Beth Norman here with Collaged Circles from the Designer Paper Perfection CD.  I stamped out my Technique Junkie Stamp and coloured it to coordinate with my designer paper.

The Designer Paper Perfection CD is fabulous and you should buy it if you haven't done so already.

Have a great day!
