TJ Inkspirations: Stained Glass Metallic Mousse Rubber Stamping

It may seem a little odd to have your weekly email arrive on Wednesday instead of Friday, but I missed last week, and since NEXT Monday is April 1st (which is our new release), Wednesday seems like the perfect day for some inspiration! I have a video and a kit again for you this week. I wasn't planning on having a kit for you again so soon, but since I was able to work with the pricing on this one, it seemed right to give you that great discount! This kit is 35% off the normal price. Just be aware that I have a much more limited quantity of this kit -- so if you want it, grab it quick.  Here is the kit: Stained Glass Metallic Mousse Whether of not you purchase the kit, the video shows how to use the Mousse again in another fun way -- easy clean-up, non-messy, too.  And the card takes only minutes to complete! Ready for inspiration? The video: Metallic Stained Glass Rubber Stamping And the card: Stained Glass Mousse

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

I Was Left Unsupervised

Today I'm having fun with the Technique Junkie Stamp Mug Shot ... although I've named her Maxine because she sort of reminds me of a young version of my Grandma ... and Maxine just sounds right for her.

Remember, you can use my discount code TJ10Stephanie for 10% off your entire order.

I started with Maxine in Black & White for the Use Your Stuff Challenge (all the papers were vintage from my stash).

The layout is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch ... I used a bottle cap sticker for my accent, because clearly Maxine is at a cross roads.  The sentiment is Technique Junkies Left Unsupervised.

Next I went with the Orange is the new Black theme for Maxine and paired her with a sentiment from Technique Junkies Partners in Crime ... I thought the speech bubble paper was fun with this sentiment.

The layout is this week's Global Design Project Sketch.

And I was having so much fun, I had to make one more with another sentiment from Partners in Crime.

This layout is from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge ... I added some fun flair from local store A Flair for Buttons, which I thought worked perfectly with the sentiment & papers.

Hopefully you had as much fun with Maxine as I did today ... if you create with these stamps, be sure and let me know, so I can come check out your creations.

Easter Basket

I am writing this post about two weeks before it will post, and I'm hoping that it will feel more like spring and Easter when it does!  Just coloring with these spring hues inspires me to start planning my garden!  But I digress...here is my card.  I used the Easter Basket stamp, Happy Easter stamp, and Swirly Ironwork stencil from the March Release.

I used Polychromos colored pencils to color the image.  I worked on it at the motor vehicle office, while I waited the hour and a half to renew my license.  Fortunately, I went prepared with my colored pencil case and a couple of stamped images to color.

When I arrived home, I finished my card.  I added some distressing with twisted citron distress ink and a blending brush, then placed the stencil over it and added more color, fading it out as it came closer to the basket.

I added the verse with VersaFine Claire nocturne ink.  I mounted it onto black card stock, then some patterned paper, and onto an A2 card base, which I had cut down.

And for the inside, which I kept simple....

Don't forget, you can  take 10% off your Technique Junkies order with my code, TJ10Lynda.  If you haven't checked out the March release, you can see it HERE.  The design team's blogs are listed there for your inspiration.

Rose Border

Hello Junkies! 

It's Ceal, it y turn to share with you on the blog today.  

My card uses the Rose Border stamp and the In Full Bloom Sentiments.

Remember to use my code TJ10Ceal to receiver 10% off of your order.

To create this card I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of Bristol Smooth cut down a quarter of an inch smaller. I stamped the Rose Border on the piece of bristol and then watercolored it with Zig Clean Color pens. After I was done coloring I staled the greeting. I love this sentiment because we should live our lives in full bloom everyday. 

Spring Crabapple

I think Spring may FINALLY be showing it's face! And to celebrate, I'm sharing a beautiful Crabapple card, created with one of the fabulous new releases this month!

There's something about kraft CS and pink that just makes me happy. And the Crab Apple (JT013) stamp was a perfect fit for this combination! I started out by using my MISTI to stamp the image with Versamark onto the kraft CS. It was then embossed with white embossing powder and colored with Spectrum Noir colored pencils. I used the brand new Cut-Align to trim the piece down with a precise border around the image.

Using a Kaisercraft Glitter Gel pen, I added some sparkly pink highlights to the flowers. I then stamped and embossed the Life is Beautiful (SDX099) stamp with some bright pink EP. The panel was then attached to a pink A2 card base using foam tape. For a little extra bling, I added some pink Robin's Nest Dew Drops.

This card came together so quick and easy! My kind of project! If you have a hankering for some beautiful springtime stamps, I suggest you head over to Technique Junkies. You can save a cool 10% off your purchase by entering my special code at checkout!

Hope you enjoy spring in your neck of the woods! 

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!
