Love, Laughter and Coffee

 

Hello fellow stampers!

 

Most coffee cards are done in brown tones with coffee bean or coffee stain stamps.  I took a different take on it by doing mine up in pink, white and brown.

Using Love Laughter and Coffee, I selected markers in pinks and browns.  Placing my stamp onto a misti, I proceeded to colour each section and pressing out the stamp.  Each section was repeated numerous times to achieve bold lettering.

Once I was happy with my lettering, brown matting was added as well as a pink banner.  My background was dry embossed.

Have a great week ahead!

Fat Pants with Flatware

 Oh yeah, baby! It is almost turkey time! I love a good Thanksgiving feast as much as the next chick. We all have our favorite part of the meal, don't me?  By far, my favorite thing is a good stuffing. I make it from scratch, like my mom did, and it has lots of yummy sausage in it. It is flavorful and the best part of the meal! Plus it makes the best leftovers. You are all welcome to come here and have some! (Don't we wish?)

My card today celebrates the feast part of the meal. My snarky Fat Pants stamp is one of my favorites, too. (I just keep picturing eating dinner in yoga pants.) I thought the Flatware stamp was a perfect backdrop for this stamp. To color it, I just swiped Peeled Paint and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks directly on the rubber, then stamped it. Easy Peasy!

So tell me, what is your favorite part (food-wise) of Thanksgiving?

Watercolor Leaf Card

 

Greetings!  Lynda Joy here, with my Technique Junkies blog post for this Sunday.  My card is a little bit different, in that I used a real leaf to create the main image.  

I used a verse from the Acceptance, Respect, Peace Set of Five from the November release.

To make my card, I used Distress spray stain, and added colors to a leaf I had found on my walk.  I pressed the ink-sprayed leaf onto a piece of light kraft card stock.

 

When I removed the leaf, I used a water brush to pull some of the ink from the image into the areas that didn't get any color with the initial 'stamping.'

I added more distress ink and a water brush around the image to create a rough background, then added some spatters of ink.

I stamped the verse from the Acceptance, Respect, Peace Set ,  and added it to a die frame, then layered up my card.

I hope you have been enjoying this release and the cards from our design

Woodland Wonders

   Hello!

It's my day to post here on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share three fun cards that I created, using some gorgeous November release stamps!

This first card front was stamped with a beautiful cinnamon colored ink, using 'S878 Woodland Wonders'. The panel was trimmed, and adhered to a card base. The sentiment 'SD1049 Advice from the Forest' was stamped on another piece of Kraft, trimmed, matted, and adhered to the card front panel. Ta-da, and Ta-done - clean and simple card!

The next card was also super easy. I cut a panel for the front of my card, and used the 'A Colorful Life 'Paws' Stencil', and some tan ink.  In the center of this panel, I stamped 'SD1049 Advice from the Forest' in brown ink, and cut it out of the center of the panel. The focal panel was matted and adhered to the background panel. Another quick card! 

Last up was this clean and simple (CAS) card, created with the 'S878 Woodland Wonders', and a great sentiment set 'SS02b Simple Sentiments Set 2, Style b'. Image and sentiment were both stamped with brown ink, matted, and adhered to card base. 

Technique Junkies stamps ink up beautifully, and make such nice cards!

BEAUTIFUL BIRCH

I hope everyone has been enjoying this new release! I've seen so many great card samples my mind is spinning with ideas!  I have another card to share with you using two of the new stamps, easily done with a little masking!

ADVICE FROM THE FOREST
 BIRCH TREE BORDER

To create the card, I started by making a mask of the birch trees. I stamped them in brown ink, using the mask to cover up areas so the trees filled the background. I trimmed that piece and attached it to a brown A2 card base.

I stamped the sentiment on some ivory cardstock and matted with a frayed paper, which I then attached using foam tape to give it some dimension.

I love the sentiment...especially during these crazy times...it's really GOOD advice! In case you didn't catch the deals, you can purchase the entire release which includes all 15 stamps and 2 stencils for only $99.99. That's a savings of $30.79!!!
