Vintage Travel Love

 

Maybe, someday, we can travel again. But for now, we can all dream, right?

I used the Travel Love stamp to create my vintage look. I love using Smoldering Ash Shimmering Bliss to "age" the edges of a stamped image, too.  This stamp is included in the 35% inventory reduction sale, too. The sale is good through Tuesday, December 15th. Get your favorites today!

This card is a 6" x 6" easel card, and features a beautiful retiring set, 'Wreath Wishes', and a new Technique Junkie Stencil, 'Champagne Flutes'.  After cutting the black panel to size, I placed the stencil over the panel, and applied Versamark Ink. I quickly sprinkled on some gold embossing powder, and used my heat gun to get this beautiful shine. Next, I stamped sentiment and, embossed it it gold. Last, I stamped the wreath, embossed it in gold, and cut it in half. Half was used to hold up the easel, and the other half was cut in half and added to the top edges of the card.

Here is a side view.

Here is a view of the card opened. The sentiment is mounted using dimensional foam, and holds the card front up nicely.

This card shows another way to use the Wreath Wishes set. Isn't it pretty? Better grab it before it's sold out!  I've also used the Technique Junkies' Shining Star Stencil.  Pretty awesome that it can be used year round!

This close-up shot shows how I used some glossy accents on the flowers.

New Year, New Hope

So it's December and the holidays are just around the corner. Are you ready yet? Got those cards ready to mail? I know I'm still cranking away on mine. But I did a little ahead and do a New Years Card. Pretty simple actually.

I adore this new stencil from TJ. It's called Champagne Flute and it's a 6" x 6" stencil. I used Nuvo Embellishment Mousse (Mother of Pearl) and some ivory cardstock cut and folded to a 5" x 5" card. Once dried, I added some color to the champagne using both a Nuvo Glitter Marker and a Nuvo Midas Touch Aqua Shimmer Pen. I wanted a nice sparkle. 

Using the New Year New Hope (SDX179) stamp, I gold embossed onto another piece of ivory cardstock, trimmed it down, cut a gold mat, and attached it to the card base using foam tape. I added some gold border strips to finish off the card. I think it's very elegant. What do you think?

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

 Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Did you see the new 35% off sale at Technique Junkies?  This is a limited time sale with hundreds of stamps 35% off.  You have until December 15 to get some great stamps at a great price.  And if you use my code, TJ10Holly, you can get an additional 10% off, so you can get these stamps for 45% off!  Is that a great deal or what?

The stamps on my card above are all included in the sale.  I used Herringbone Tweed for the background - a gorgeous understated background for when you want some texture but you don't want it to take over your whole card.  Then I stamped the Hearts Panel across the middle of the background with a darker pink ink.  The sentiment is from the Dream Quotes set.  

Go check out all the awesome stamps on sale at Technique Junkies HERE.  Be sure to add my code, TJ10Holly, to save even more and get a whopping 45% off these stamps.  Happy shopping!
