What could be better on a winter day than these three things within reach? Dogs, books and coffee - it doesn't take much more for me.  From the January Release.

Wanna Build a Snowman?

 Hi there! 

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!  Don't forget - All of the January 2021 New Release stamps are 15% off through January 8th! We can all use a little bargain, right? No codes needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.

My first card uses 2 new releases: 'SS130 Inside Out: I Love Snow Set of 10', and 'SDX177 Small Snowflake Trio, Set of 3', and an older image 'SD966 Snowman'.The image was stamped onto white cardstock, and colored with Copic Markers. The snowflakes were then stamped using some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. To finish this card front, a dot of Glossy Accents was added to each snowflake center, and to the eyes, nose, mouth, buttons and pom pom on hat. The panel was trimmed, and adhered to a blue card base. 

The inside of the card cracks me up - I love this fun sentiment set!!!

Here's another fun winter card. This image is: 'SD1040 Snow Somewhere Else', and was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut. I used some Distress Oxide Inks, 'Ink Blending Brushes', a spritz of 'Shimmering Bliss Chestnut Mare', a few drops of water, and a couple of fun die cuts to complete this card. 

The January 'Gotta Have it All' Bundle is $94.80. Normally, this would be $126.30 - what a great deal! Here's what you'll get:

Inside Out: I Love Snow (Not!)

Hi, Stamping Friends! It's Ro here with you today. I have been having a blast playing with the newest Inside Out set, I Love Snow. The sentiments in this set are an absolute hoot! The card I created today has both the outside and the inside on the outside, which leaves a great space inside for a personal note!

INSIDE OUT: I LOVE SNOW (SS130)
Coffee Kitty (SD735)

This card expresses my sentiment EXACTLY! lol

It was a simple card to create. I started with some Kraft cardstock which I made into an A2 card base. I added a couple of sticker snowflakes and rounded the corners. On another piece of Kraft cardstock I used a die to cut out a large oval and added a black shaded border using Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink with an Ink Blending Brush. I popped that panel onto the front of the card using foam adhesive. On some white cardstock, I stamped the Kitty (not one of the new releases), colored in the cup and eyes, and cut it out (I use a Brother Scan-N-Cut because I'm just not a fussy-cutter type person). I placed the cutout on the panel and added some more sticker snowflakes and dots. I also added a heart to the cup. The sentiments were stamped on black cardstock and white embossed. I trimmed them down and cut the edges. I popped those on the card with foam tape and added a couple more stickers.

If you're curious about all the sentiments included in this newest Inside Out set, here they are:

January Love - 2 Cards

Today I am sharing 2 Valentines I made for some of my grandchildren  - I have 8!  I am using the new Valentine Heart Border to create my cards for my grandchildren.  So you see this border stamp from time to time this month.    I used markers on the heart border.  I had the stamp in my stamping platform  and it made it easy to assembly line fashion stamp the border on every panel for the fronts of the cards.  I was also able to add more ink and stamp over the image in exactly the same place until I was satisfied with the stamped image.

For the above card I also used Life Complete.  For the card below I used Love Harlequin for the background.  I also used Life Complete for the focal greeting.  It is bordered by red glitter paper.  

Technique Junkies has a lot of Valentine stamps.  Many are good for grandchildren and many are good for the "love of your life."  So if you have  not begun your Valentines - please take a look!  

 Now, please remember you can get 25% off if you want all of the new January stamps and you can click on this link to see that! But if your budget is such you can't get them all, choose your favorites and be sure to buy them through January 8 and you will get an automatic 15% off! Then you can gain another 10% off by using the code TJ10Judy.

Have a great day, and be sure to take some time and get inky!!

Chill Skates

 

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Did you see the new January 2021 release stamps from Technique Junkies on Friday?  Aren't they fabulous??  I'm using another one of those new stamps today.  This Skating background stamp is gorgeous, and I had fun playing around with it.  For this card, I randomly dabbed some Wilted Violet and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks all over the Skating stamp.  Then I used my brayer to blend the inks and spread them out to the edges.  That's how you get all those different variations of color all over the background stamp.  I love how the edges seem a little frosty.  The sentiment is from the Let's Chill set and I stamped it with the Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink and cut it out with a circle die.

All of the January 2021 release stamps are on sale until January 8.  Be sure to use my code, TJ10Holly, for an additional 10% off for a total of 25% off all of the new release stamps.  Have fun shopping!
