Dahlias

Hey everyone, Jessie here with you all today! For my first ever Technique Junkies post! I am super thrilled to be on this team, and getting to play with so many wonderful stamps!

I am kicking things off with Dahlias (S811). You will learn I have a love of all floral stamps ever!! So in my true fashion I stamped them out and took my watercolours to them.

I tried multiple... and I mean tons of sentiments to put on the front of this little gem, but honestly she felt like one of those cards where all it needs is a message written inside!

I can not wait to show you what I have in store for my next post!

Wreath Love

Hey, Stampin' Peeps! I am back again with another wreath card. I am lovin' Wreath Wishes (SS104) stamp and it's versatility.  It comes with two sentiments, but I used a different sentiment from the Anniversary Sentiments (SS100) set. It fit inside the wreath perfectly!

I stamped the image in a light grey and colored it in using Tombow Dual Brush Markers, then softened it with a water brush and a light shadow. I stamped the sentiment in black, attached the panel to the gray card base, and added a few pearls to finish off the card.

Easy-peasy! I loved coloring this wreath. The flowers are just so darn pretty!

LILY OF THE VALLEY SEASON

Hello everyone!!! 

I'm pretty partial to the lily of the valley flower.  They have such a sweet fragrence and I adore the tiny bell shaped flowers.  They are also my birth month flower.  So I was thrilled when I saw this stamp "Lily of the Valley Background" from Mitten State Stamps in the April 2019 release collection.  

I paired it with a sentiment from "French Sentiments  Set of 4" (another favorite set of mine).  

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you found some inspiration.   If you'd like to add these the stamps I've used here to your collection, I can offer a 10% discount.  Just use my personal discount code TJ10CHERI.  

Have a great week!  

  

Best Wishes

Happy Monday!

I had some fun with the Wreath Wishes (set of 3) for today's project. I stamped the wreath, colored with markers and then cut it out to layer on a panel. For a little pop of extra color I sponged the area behind the wreath before I put the wreath on. 

Don't forget if you are ordering today you can get  an additional 10% off by using the code TJ10Jeanne at Technique Junkies!

Good Morning!

Vicki Here with a quick and easy Birthday card for you!!!

What about these sweet hens?

I made this fun card with the Keep Chickens set

I stamped them all in black and added a pop of red here and there for some interest.

I wanted to thank you and Pat for the wonderful opportunity to design for Technique Junkies Stamps

I have to say so long for now. Life is getting busy and I'm finding myself stretched a bit!

I sure have enjoyed sharing my creations with you and appreciate all the kind comments you gave me on this blog and my own!!!

Happy Stamping

Easter Bunnies...celebrating Spring

Easter is just around the corner! Nothing celebrates the sweet renewal feel of the season like this Spring Bunny.  I love this little guy! I just adore his realistic look, and the tulip he is paired with can be colored in many ways, making it a very versatile stamp. 

I colored him with Copic markers, and I chose to make my tulip a strong red to make it really stamp out. After coloring, I cut him out, then placed my bunny over a panel stamped with Happy Easter and matted that to match red of my tulip. 

When searching for a background, I thought the Sketched Tulip stamp was just perfect, so I stamped it in green, in alternating directions, using my MISTI to line up the stamp perfectly on the background. I wanted a springtime, sketchy-flower feel, and I think this stamp truly did the trick.

This season, I am fortunate to have booth my boys home for the Easter holiday --  one of the many blessings I have to keep my heart full.

I hope your springtime season is happy, full of blooms and renewal!

• Craft Acrylic Paint (3 colors or more)

Directions:

1. Mix craft paint colors (about a pinto bean size amount) with a teensy bit of water to the consistency of thick syrup. 
2. On white cardstock that has been taped down onto a flat surface, drip three round puddles of one color then dripped right on top the next color, then the third color. 
3. With leftover paint, drip randomly around the main paint puddles. 
4. While still wet spray over the whole thing with water. 
5. Let it dry or speed it up with a heat tool very carefully.
6. Trim to card size and stamp Poppies with black ink, make sure that it's dry before gluing to card base.
