Merry Christmas to You

Good day from Judy Jackson!

I ran an white card stock panel through an embossing folder.  I highlighted those embossed parts with a sponge.  I stamped the Technique Junkie Merry Christmas http://techniquejunkies.com/merry-christmas/ in the center of the embossing folder.  There was no embossed areas in the center.  I used the Technique Junkie stamp Wasted http://techniquejunkies.com/wasted/ to add some texture to the rest of the empty spots. I only inked the smaller dots on the stamps. I used markers to color in the M and the C in the greeting.    A few rhinestones add that bling we all seem to like on our Christmas cards. 

And this ends the Christmas cards I have created to this date as I am writing.  But who knows, I may  make some more!  Have a wonderfully inky day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Saturday Junkies, Pam here today!  First of all I want to thank everyone for joining us for the 30 days of Christmas!! Such wonderful projects and great inspiration from the talented design team.

To change it up a bit today I am featuring a fall/Thanksgiving card.

This is an absolutely gorgeous background stamp Oak Relief and just perfect for fall in New England!! I used Distress Ink to ink up the stamp and then spritzed it with a bit of water and stamped onto water color paper.  

Love the colors!! 

The Date-O-Matic stamp was added and voila- a Thanksgiving card.  This is a super versatile add on stamp for any holiday or birthday!

Just stamp a thankful sentiment inside and it's on it's way.

Thanks for joining me today! 

Embrace Imperfection!

Technique Junkies 30 Days of Christmas- Day 29

Day 29 already!!  I can't believe how fast the 30 days has gone.

 I feel like I have to apologize for the photography on this.  It gets dark now so darn early.  It's dark when I leave and it's dark when I get home lol.  Hard for me to get a good picture without some natural lighting.

This card was made by first embossing the background with a cricut embossing folder.  Next I stamped one of the images from  Trees Set of 6.  I embossed it with silver embossing powder. I matted the stamped image with some silver card stock and then I attached it to some craft foam before attaching it to the card front.

For the sentiment I stamped Merry Christmas and cut out the sentiment in a tag shape using my scissors.

Thanks for checking out my card. I hope your day is amazing!!!

30 Days of Christmas - Day 28

Hello Junkies!

The Crafty Nurse here celebrating Day 28 of the 30 Days Of Christmas here on the Design Team Blog.  I am casing Pat's card she posted in the TJ Inkspirations a few weeks ago where she heat embossed the "Winter Foliage" stamp on vellum, then colored with markers on the backside.

For my card, I embossed with Liquid Platinum powder by Ranger then colored with a combination of Copics and Faber Castell Pit Pens. My sentiment is die cut three times from Tim Holtz's "Holiday Words" thinlits.  To add shine, I applied Pico Embellisher Irresistible in Shimmer.

We would love for you to keep following the Design Team Blog for more Christmas ideas using the Technique Junkies stamps.  There are only a few days left so we hope you've enjoyed the cards and found inspiration for your holiday card making.

By for now,

The Crafty Nurse

30 Days of Christmas-Day 27

Hello fellow stampers and knitters.  Beth Norman here with a Christmas project to share with you.  Haven't you been inspired with all the goodness of the 30 Days of Christmas so far?  I hope I inspire you to create some much loved Christmas tags using #SD654 Merry Christmas.  I just love this image because it allows for colouring--something I love to do.

Throughout the year I knit large sized dishcloths and wrap them in ribbon individually, and in a group of four such as you see here.  Something I did a little different this year was to add bells to the ribbon which you can see on the close-up.  At last count I had 100 dishcloths made.  All 16 of my coworkers and boss receive one of these for Christmas.

I like to give my dishcloths to friends, pharmacist, dentist, doctor, etc., and what better way to present them than with ribbon and a handmade tag.

As you can see, I coloured the Merry Christmas in two tones with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS.  You can even see the bell that I added.

I hope I inspired you.

Let It Snow

 

Hi, it's Gini and I'm back for another wintery card to celebrate the 30 Days of Christmas Cards!  This was a clean a simple card to make. I stamped the Winter Wonderland with the sky inked blue, and the trees inked green. I inked over the entire image with Versamark and heat embossed with a pearly powder.  I die cut the Let it Snow Sentiment and had a quick, but lovely card.

We have a few more days of Christmas Cards left, so keep with us for inspiration for your holiday cards. 

30 Days of Christmas - Day 25

Welcome! Can you believe that it is Day 25 of the 30 Days of Christmas already? I hope you have taken the time this month to enjoy the holiday inspiration. Also, I hope you've had the opportunity to take advantage of the 20% discount on all Technique Junkies Christmas Stamps. All Christmas Stamps are 20% off until 11/13 by using the word Christmas as the coupon code at checkout.
This card -- it is so beautiful in person -- is one of the Christmas cards I will be sending this year (I get bored making more than 20 at a time,so I make several designs a year!). The shimmer on this is incredible.

To create my dove, I stamped the Christmas Dove stamp on plain white cardstock using StazOn. I painted the dove with Vegas Gold Sorbet Paint from Art Anthology, and dried it with a heat tool (it only took 30 seconds or so to dry -- it is a very fast drying paint!). Then I sprayed over the painted piece with Wild Orchid, Juicy, Ink Spot and Peacock Feathers Art Anthology Colorations - none of which are considered Christmas Colors, I simply used a paper towel to pat off the dove, then let it dry and layered it onto the other cardstock pieces.  This card took me less than 10 minutes to make!

What I love most about this is that so many of you have purchased the Vegas Gold paint and Colorations from our booth at trade shows this year. How much fun is it to have another way to use the paints?

I hope you are inspired by today's creations.  Go create something!
