Beauty of Snowflakes

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing this shimmery, frosty snowflake card.  We rarely get snow where I live, so I love seeing and creating cards with snowflakes on them.  I started by stamping the snowflakes from the Snowflakes set from Technique Junkies in three different colors all over some white cardstock.  I used a soft blue ink, a kraft ink, and a darker brown ink.  To add some shimmer, I sprayed some of the gorgeous Mixed Metals Shimmering Bliss spray from Technique Junkies all over the snowflakes.  It's so glittery and shiny as you can see from the close up picture below.

 After the snowflake background was completely dry, I cut it with a rectangular die and added the sentiment on the side.  The sentiment is called Beauty of Winter, also from Technique Junkies.  If you have winter weather where you live, enjoy the beauty of it all.

November Release Woodland Wonders Cards

Beverly here today sharing with you one of my favorite new November releases called Woodland Wonders.  This is a wonderful background stamp which is fun to color with markers or heat emboss in one color.  Since I am staying at home to stay safe from Covid-19, I am mailing lots of Thanksgiving cards this year.  I stamped Woodland Wonders on white cardstock with brown ink and then colored with alcohol markers.  I added simple die cut and label maker sentiments which gave me a fast and easy card.

On this card I heat embossed Woodland Wonders on white cardstock with white embossing powder.  Next I did ink blending with Distress Oxide ink pads over the heat embossed images.  When finished, wipe the embossing gently to remove any ink.  I stamped the November release Always Thankful on vellum and attached it to the front of the card base with small white brads.  Another easy card for my Thanksgiving stash.  I can't wait to mail all my Thanksgiving cards to friends and family.

Remember if you want to save an extra 10% on your Technique Junkies order to use the code above.  It's been fun sharing my cards with you today with the pretty new November stamps.  Stay safe.

 

TJ Inkspirations: Marvelous Mask Stencil Magic

 

Today's video shows you how to make 3 different card projects using the Marvelous Mask Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. Each of the cards has a coordinating kit - pictures of the cards and the kits follow, as does the video. I really should have made this into three tutorials/videos. It is the longest I have ever made, but the topic seemed to work best as one video. If you want to see a specific card, they start here: MM Deckled Rectangles Pines: :22 MM Rectangles Poinsettias 10:59 MM Ornaments Snowflakes 18:31 MM Ornaments - Snowflakes Here is the kit with the markers and stamps: MM Deckled Rectangles Pines And the video: Marvelous Masks Stencil Magic

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

Ballerina in Blue

 

The Cloud Edger Stencil is a perfect compliment to the Dreaming with your Feet sentiment! I love how my French Script Ballerina is in the clouds. I hope your day is full of fulfilled dreams!

Perk up soon!

I think this little owl is so sweet! What a fun get-well card for a fellow coffee drinker. I dug out my Aladine Diamonds in Marron (sorry, I do not sell these any longer - but I still like to use what I have!) and put them through the Coffee Beans Stencil. The top part of the card uses the Coffee Stains stamp in brown. I love the way colored pencils just pop where I colored the owl on this brown paper. 
 

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!

Thanks for stopping by.

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?
