Birthday Balloons
Hi Everyone!
I have a birthday card to share today, using the Faith, Hope and Love Set. Birthday? I know what you are thinking; Faith, Hope and Love is not a birthday set! Well, it is when you turn the cute heart into a balloon! Need this set to make birthday cards? Use code TJ10LeeAnn and you will save 10% on your entire order!
I just purchased some of the Distress Oxide inks; I know, I am a bit late to the party, but I was
pretty happy with the plan ol' distress inks! I heat embossed the hearts 3 times and then painted them with distress oxides. I used Spiced Marmalade, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron. I then masked the hearts off and sponged the remainder of the card with the Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers. To add texture, I placed a stencil around the edges of the card and dabbed with a damp cloth to lift oxidize the color. Black splatter adds interest. Lastly, balloon strings were drawn in with a Micron pen.
The sentiment, Donuts Happy Birthday, was heat embossed on a black panel. The image panel was die cut out with a stitched rectangle die and the card was assembled.
That's it for me; I hope I have inspired you to look at your stamps differently, or at least to get inky today!

TJ Inkspirations: 5 Minute Shimmering Background
| It's ironic that I am posting this 5 minute background at a point in the year when I don't even feel I have 5 minutes to spare! We ALL get busy with work, kids, obligations and, well, life, so it is nice to have a quick go-to way to make a card on the run when necessary. Trust me on this -- once you make these backgrounds, you will NOT be able to stop! Love these products? From now until February 15, buy any combination of Six of the A Colorful Life Designs Stencils, Nuvo Glimmer Paste and/or Nuvo Embellishment Mousse and receive an additional 10% off! Just use the coupon code Glimmer (it is case sensitive) as the coupon code. You can combine this with other offers, too. |

Van Gogh Kitty Cards Set of 3
Greetings Technique Junkies fans, and welcome. Today's project is actually a set of three cards from the stamp Van Gogh Kitty , from the Technique Junkies February Release.
Don't forget to use the code TJ10Lynda to get 10% off any regularly priced stamp at Techique Junkies!
For the image panel on each card, I inked the Van Gogh Kitty stamp with Ranger Archival ink in library green, coffee, and cobalt. These inks kept the details of this amazing stamp, giving a clean, clear, crisp image each time. I trimmed the panel and attached it to a black piece of card stock, then onto the respective background pp and onto an A2 card.
Very simple cards, with my hand-written sentiments on some scraps, and attached with foam tape for dimension. The 'hello' one is just fussy-cut around my hand-lettering and attached directly to the card front.
A few black enamel dots finish off the cards.
Be sure to check out the Technique Junkies February Blog Hop if you have not already done so. There is some fabulous inspiration there by my fellow design-team friends.
Thanks for visiting.
Blessings,

Cluck, Cluck, Cluck!
Happy February 7th, everybody! Not that it's any kind of special holiday or anything, but we may as well enjoy life while we are here!
And speaking of enjoyment, I have been enjoying the heck out of the new Keep Chickens set. Did you know that you can still save 15% on this and the other new releases until tomorrow, February 8th. So you'll want to hurry. If there are other goodies on your radar, you can save 10% on those by entering the code TJ10Ro at checkout. This code is good any time throughout the year...no expiration!
If you haven't checked out this set yet, there are a whopping 13 stamps in it!! Chickens, roosters, chicks, eggs, and sentiments. Something for every occasion! I have had so much fun playing with these adorable stamps. I have used five of them on the card I have to share with you today!
To create this card, I started with a gray card base. To that, I added a piece of vellum that I dry embossed with a cute chicken-wire pattern. I used my cutting machine to cut out Happy Birthday in vinyl and attached that to the vellum, along with a little black jewel.
For the chicken panel, I did a little masking. Using my stamping tool, I stamped the chickens on the right and left and then added a mask to them. I then stamped the middle chicken and the chick. These were all done in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Using a grey ink, I randomly stamped the "cluck cluck" and then trimmed down the piece. I swiped the black ink across the top and bottom border to give it a little definition, and attached the panel with foam tape.
I opted to keep the card monotone so it could be used for a feminine or masculine birthday. The hardest part about making this card was deciding which of the adorable chickens to use! Here is the whole set.....see what I mean?
I absolutely love this set. Have I mentioned that? I love it! lol
Hope you enjoyed the card today and are inspired to have some fun! Remember...
And the new releases are 15% off until TOMORROW (February 8th).
Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

CHICKEN TALK
Hello, Junkies!
So glad to have you visiting us today. Did you see the new February 2018 stamps? They were released on the first and there was an awesome blog hop to show them off.
All the stamps from this release can be yours for a discount of 15% off but only until February 8th. So, if you saw some you like, get them with the discount. No need to enter a code, just put them in your cart and the discount is applied.
If you see any other TJ Stamps you like, I can help you purchase them with a 10% discount by using my discount code TJ10Cheri. Just add that in the discount code area at check out.
I think of all the stamps released this month "Keep Chickens" is my favorite. Every chicken in this stamp set makes me smile and I have had such a fun time creating with them.
The chickens were colored with Copic Markers. I stamped them, colored them and then made some masks of them so I could stiple the background with "scattered straw" Distress Ink through a burlap stencil. I removed the masks, added some speech bubble dies with the sentiments (also from the set) and cut the panel using a slash frame die. For a final touch, I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter pen to the chickens and the eggs for a little sparkle.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Don't forget to check out the new stamps, complete with a 15% discount until Feburary 8th, and for all other stamps you might like to purchase, use my discount code for a 10% discount.
