30 days of Christmas-Day 28

Good Morning!! 

Hope you've enjoyed all of the inspiration from the TJ Design Team!!!

There have been some gorgeous samples !!!

Although the Feature is winding down, I have one more Card to share

Christmas Beetle Van!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this image by Jan Tinklenberg

It's just so darned cute!!!!

I wanted to make a bit of a dimensional card and I had an idea to set it on a spring so it would wiggle just a little bit!!! Remember that song? Wiggle it, just a little bit? Was that the 80's?

Well this little bug is just a rockin'

I coloured the image with Prism Pencils for a softer look.

To create my scene, I  made a frame with my Frame Punch Board

Then, I cut some little tree from the  Sizzix Tim Holtz Christmas car set. 

They looked a little bland, so I added some Nuvo Drops in White

I created the Road Way with the Lane Die from IO Stamps. I created the background with a Star Panel Die (Source unknown) and lastly added some Polar Ice Flower Soft for some fluffy goodness.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on the red cardstock, and VOILA, I have a fun Christmas Creation.

Hope you enjoyed my card

Day 26 of the 30 Days of Christmas: Poinsettia Candle

My project for Day 26 of the 30 days of Christmas is right out of the video: The Poinsettia Candle. This is the kind of thing I would put inside a gift basket with other items to give it a personal touch. The Candle uses Gold and Silver Nuvo Glimmer Paste with the Poinsettia Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs. I hope you are a little inkspired by today's issue. See you next week!

30 Days of Christmas - Day 24

Hello and welcome to day 24 of our 30 days of Christmas ... the Technique Junkies Design Team will be posting a Christmas project on the blog from October 15th through November 13th, so be sue to check back every day for some inspiration, also if today is your first time here scroll back to the start date October 15th so you don't miss anything.

Also, all Technique Junkies Christmas Stamps are on Sale through November 13th ... you will save 20% off all Christmas stamps AND you can also use my code TJ10Stephanie for an additional 10% off your entire order (you can stack the %-off for this Christmas celebration).

I love the gorgeous Green of Luscious Lawn Shimmering Mist for Holiday card designs.  

I used the Shimmering Mist with the Flowing Drops Stencil from A Colorful Life to create my background.  It's a large stencil, so I was able to create a 5"x7" card base.

I stamped Technique Junkies Vintage Merry Christmas in coordinating Green Ink and die cut with a Postage Stamp Die.  I finished with a wrap of Green Seam Binding and a big Christmas bow.

After I sprayed my stencil, I used a second piece of cardstock to soak-up the excess spray ... that gave me two backgrounds to use.

This card uses the second background (and a had enough background left for a third card if I want).

I added a Polaroid camera die (because in our family, many of our childhood Christmas memories involve Polaroid photos).  I added the Technique Junkies All is Calm Sentiment and one of the snowflakes from the new Technique Junkies Snowflakes Stamp Set.

Have you used some Shimmering Mist to make Holiday Cards?  If so, we'd love if you linked them up in the Technique Junkies Facebook Group (you can also check it out for lots of Technique Junkies inspiration).

30 Days of Christmas Day 23

Hello and welcome to the 30 Days of Christmas.  Are you inspired by all the beautiful cards from the design team?

During the 30 days of Christmas, every stamp in the Christmas category is 20% off. AND you can use my 10% TJ10Beth discount! That means that you will potentially get 30% off all Christmas stamps.

You can find the Christmas stamps here.

I had a lot of fun making this card.

Steps:

1. Find a piece of designer paper that isn't busy, such as the blended colours one I used.  You can blend colours onto your own paper to create your own background.
2. Using white embossing powder, heat emboss your background using the stamp above called Christmas Whimsy Background.
3. Cut your squares at 1" pieces and adhere to a piece of white cardstock measuring  4 1/2" x 3 1/4".
4. Adhere your cardstock to a pieces of white cardstock  4 3/4" x 3 1/2".
5. Use a coordinating colour of cardstock, size 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", to mat your card.
