Sunflower Kisses

Hello fellow stamper!  I love sunflowers and love this one a lot because there are so many ways to use it.  This one I kept pretty simple.  If you look closely you can see that I used Twinkling H2O's around the edges of my flower in a turquoise to coordinate with my Tempting Turquoise mat paper.

Currently you can receive this stamp at 25% off as it is a Technique Junkie new release.  This discount is good until June 8th (really, it's June already?!).  On top of that you can receive 10% off anything else in the store just by using my code TJ10Beth.  Now that's a deal!

My sunflower stamp is called Sunflower Duo and uses the sentiment from Sunflower Sentiments, Set of 2.

Write Your Secrets in the Sand

I used the lovely Technique Junkies Mermaid Kisses stamp set - 

www.techniquejunkies.com/mermaid-kisses-set-of-5/ .  I used an acrylic block pressed into a couple of ink pads, and spritzed with water to stamp the ocean waters.  I die cut some sea weed from vellum. Then I layered a white on white frame popped up with dimensionals.  The mermaid and starfish were colored with Copic markers. The mermaid is also popped up.

Please remember that all of the June Technique Junkies Stamps releases are on sale for 15% off through June 8.  In addition, you can get 10%  off of everything else that is not on sale by using the code TJ10Judy.

Have a great day -- and get inky!

Starfish Wreath

Hello to Everyone!

Happy Summer to you!  I was blessed to just spend a week in the mountains and now look forward to a relaxing and crafty summer!  Here's to plenty of crafty time for everyone this summer!
Today's beachy card is made using the brand new Mermaid Kisses Stamp Set.  It is currently 15% off (through June 8th) as are all of the other new release stamps.

My background panel was made by dragging watercolor paper through distress inks that were smooshed onto my craft mat and then spritzed with water.  I dried after each 'drag' and then repeated the process, building up multiple layers of color.
I used the starfish from the Mermaid Kisses stamp set and stamped them in a circular fashion (I lightly traced a circle in pencil, then stamped the starfish, using the circle as my template).  I then fussy cut around the circle/wreath of starfish, on both the outside of the ring and the inside of the ring.  The starfish wreath was then brushed with Wink of Stella.
A piece of linen twine was wrapped around the starfish wreath and sequins added for more sparkle.
The sentiment, Together, was stamped in a teal ink and nested within the wreath.

If you are interested in purchasing products other than the new release stamps, you can get 10% all of the items with code TJ10LeeAnn!

That's it for me- I hope you find this easy card inspirational!

Happy Bird-Day

Hello Technique Junkies!

It's Ceal, here to share with you today a sample using some of the Technique Junkies Stamps June releases. We have 13 new fabulous stamps just in time for your summer card making. From now until June 8th you will receive 15% off the new releases no code necessary and remember you can save 10% off your order excluding new releases and clearance by using my code TJ10Ceal

I have used three different stamps on this one. 

To create my sample I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of Bristol cut down with a stitched die. For the background I blended some distress oxide inks in Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon together. I find that these inks blend so much better on Bristol cardstock. Next I stamped the Anchors Background with Versamark ink and embossed it in white. I stamped the Flamingo stamp in memento ink and colored it with Copic markers and then fussy cut it out. to finish the card I added the Happy Bird-Day sentiment

My first card uses the new Flamingos Background (pretty fabulous!!!) 

and Balance on One Leg. This is a one layer card. I stamped the flamingos using 

my MISTI, splattered with some thinned (with water) white paint and then once the paint 

was dry I stamped my sentiment. Easy Peasy!

My next card uses That Smile and a sentiment from a set from last month's release

You're a Hoot (set of 7) I used the Stars stencil from A Colorful Life and added Nuvo 

Drops to make my background. I stamped the girl from That Smile on white cardstock

(with my MISTI)and colored her with markers. I fussy cut her and popped her on top of

my card with foam tape for a little dimension.

One Last May Release Card!

I love peach with gray.  There is something so classic about that combo.  When I picked up this gorgeous background stamp, Floral Dot, from Technique Junkies, I knew I wanted to stamp it in peach.  I love the subtle floral design on this stamp.

I used distress inks for stamping my background onto peach card stock.  I layered it on a dark peach card panel, then onto an A2 gray card.  I wrapped gray embroidery floss around and tied a bow.  

The verse, Began To Fly, is also Technique Junkies.  I stamped it in gray Ranger archival ink.  

The butterfly is from TJ's Peony Collage stamp.  I fussy-cut it from the stamped image, added color, then added some shimmer with my Spectrum Noir clear shimmer pen.  A few sequins finish off my card today.

BRING WINE

Hi Technique Junkies!  

I've got a fun card for you today using one of the cute stamps "Bring Wine" from the May 2018 release.  This card can be re-created many times with the variety of stamps that Technique Junkies Stamps offers and you can get all you want and take a full 10% off your entire order by simply using my discount code TJ10Cheri.  Try it...it works! 

This was a quick and easy card to create because I used a balloon die which I simply sponged with dye inks.  The cloud bg was also sponged using a scalloped die with light blue dye ink on white card stock.  The wine glass was colored with Nuvo Glitter Markers.  A few sequins for balance and off those balloons go....I hope someone get my message!!! LOL.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you found some inspiration.  Here's my discount code again.  Now go shopping and get yourself some awesome Technique Junkies Stamps.
