Oh Christmas Tag

The current Technique Junkies Challenge is to make a Christmas Tag.   I love Christmas Tags ... and I love turning them into cards.  Remember, you can use my Discount Code TJ10Stephanie at Check-Out for 10% off you Technique Junkies order.

I started with a Kraft Tag, the A Colorful Life Rough Edge Circlezz Stencil, and my MISTI.

I  love using my MISTI for stenciling ... everything stays where I want it to and clean-up on my MISTI mousepad is super-easy.

I applied some temporary adhesive to the tag to hold it in place, since I specifically wanted to position it where one of the circles was over the circle at the top of the tag.

I combined Evergreen Bough and Mowed Grass Distress Inks to create my tag background using my favorite Make-Up Brush (it seriously change my ink-blending life).

Once I finished my tag, I stamped A Very Merry Christmas on another Kraft Tag (it was actually the back side of the first tag I tried to stencil with Distress Oxide Ink that turned out paler than I wanted ... so I recycled).

Once I put my tag together, I realized I had managed to cover-up most of my stenciling, so I used the same inks and Rough Edge Circlezz Stencil and a lighter Kraft Cardstock to create my background.

I love that with my MISTI, I can peek as I go along to see that I'm getting the variation in color that I was hoping to achieve.

I assembled my tag/card using flowers from Little Birdie and a coordinating card base.

Window Pines

I used two  Technique Junkies stamps to create this card.  I used Fir Forest and Merry Christmas 2 which were stamped on a panel  and placed behind  die cut window.  The sky was sponged on it first.  The top layer is a panel dry embossed with a  snowflake embossing folder.   White pearls were added to the center of some of the snowflakes.  Dazzle Simmering Bliss spray was added to the top layer.

The words Merry Christmas were stamped with black Versafine ink and heat embossed  with detail black embossing powder.  

The bottom of this card is an A2 sized dark moss green piece of card stock.   The main part of the card is 4 inches by 11 1/4 inches.  It is scored in half and then after the card is ready to mount, it is adhered to the green card stock.  The inside greeting is stamped on the inside of the folded white card stock.

You can use TJ10Judy to get 10% off of EVERYTHING IN YOUR SHOPPING CART through the end of November!!  This is a great gift from Pat Huntoon!  So start shopping.

Have a wonderful day!! And  get inky!!

Downton Mugshot

Happy Saturday Junkies!

It's Ceal. Here to share a card using this fabulous stamp from our November release, Downton Girl Kitty.  This stamp reminded me of a mug shot so I had to create a snarky card with it :)

Remember  you can save 10% off on your entire order and even the new releases during the month of November by using my code TJ10Ceal just not on clearance.

To create my card it was super easy. I started with a white top folding card base and a photo frame cut out in Lemon Lime Twist.

I stamped the Downton Girl Kitty in the middle of the card base and then placed the frame over her. I added the greeting Left Unsupervised to finish the card.

TJ Inkspirations: Shimmering Shaker Cards with Die Cut Confetti

I love shaker cards, and I am always looking for fun things to fill them with.  Today I have a fun tutorial for you that uses die cut numbers as the filler. To make them even more fun, the numbers are colored with Shimmering Bliss Sprays.  Here is the card made with the video: Shimmering Shaker CArd The video for the card is below. Shimmering Shaker Card with Die Cut Confetti

I hope you are a little inkspired by today's issue. See you next week! Sincerely, Pat Huntoon Technique Junkies LLC

Carved Relief Cards

Greetings, peeps! 

Lynda Joy here with a couple of cards using Technique Junkies lovely background stamp CARVED RELIEF.

Joyeux Noel....

I also used the Joyeux Noel stamp for the verse.

I embossed the CARVED RELIEF stamp with red embossing powder onto white card stock.  The Joyeux Noel was embossed in white onto red card stock.  I layered them together on an A2 card, with a red ribbon and buckle from my stash, and some Liquid Pearls dots.

Family and Friends.....

I stamped the CARVED RELIEF onto vellum and added it to the bottom of a red A2 card.  On the top portion of the card, I white embossed the Family and Friends verse from the Gifts of Christmas Set of 5 set.

A red ribbon and bow, and some white Liquid Pearl dots add the accents.

I hope you are inspired by my cards today, and have enjoyed the 30 Days of Christmas, and the November release stamps!
