TJ Inkspirations: Easy Hillside Village Card

 

Easy Peasy Hillside Village Card

You have to try this!

This easy card is made with just 2 stamps and 3 markers - it couldn't be easier. Our video shows the colors in the card above, but the card is magnificent with other colors, too (scroll down for another color combination). We made a mini bundle for this card (HERE) with a discounted price, or if you just want a few pieces and parts, you can find them in this category (along with some suggested items for your sentiments): https://techniquejunkies.com/mini-hillside-village-bundle/

Let us show you how!

Designer Holly Brown gave us this happy card this week using the Dotted Blooms Background with the Five Fab Phrases Set:

Lots of Dotted Blooms

  Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share four cards that I created, with some new release products!

The S897 Dotted Blooms background stamp was featured on all four of these cards. Hopefully, you will enjoy seeing how different each one looks, just by changing up colors and techniques a bit. I love this stamp - it makes me think of my teen years! Yes, I was definitely a bell bottom wearing hippie!

This card features:
S897 Dotted Blooms 

SDX183 Age Gets Better 

What better way to start out, than by using a classic black and white theme? The white heat embossed image is so vibrant on the black background!

The next card features: 

S897 Dotted Blooms 

SDX182 Increasing in Value

I got a little silly with this one. I scrunched up a piece of saran wrap, and just pounced it on several different colors of ink. Then, the focal panel was stamped with black Versamark ink. I trimmed the panel, adhered it to a card base, and did some scrunching on the sentiment panel. I stamped it in blue (in real life, the blue ink matches the blue scrunching - on the big screen, not so much). The sentiment was popped up with some foam squares, a piece of tulle was glued behind it, and ta-done!

The next two cards feature:

S897 Dotted Blooms

SS117 Five Fab Prases Set of 10

Shimmering Bliss Thulian Pink, Dolphin Cove, Chestnut Mare

So, for the above card, I used some Shimmering Bliss sprays on my Gelli Plate. I've never tried to do this, so maybe I made up a new technique, who knows? I generously sprayed the three colors of Bliss (the only 3 that I own so far) directly onto the Gelli plate. Next, I did the unthinkable. I just laid the stamp directly onto the spritzed gelli plate, left it a few seconds, then pulled it up, and laid down a sheet of cardstock. Does it look like the Dotted Blooms stamp? Nope. Do I like the outcome? Heck, yeah!!!

This next photo hopefully shows a bit of the sparkle and shimmer of the Shimmering Bliss. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black ink, and a strip of Washi Tape was added prior to finishing the card.

For this last card, I sprayed some of the blue and pink Shimmering Bliss onto the Gelli plate, deliberately leaving a couple sections a bit lighter, by spraying less of the Bliss there. I quickly pressed down my cardstock, and rubbed for a bit, to make sure I had good coverage. Next, I stamped the Dotted Blooms with some awesome pink ink, and finished up the sentiment in Versamark black..



Again, I'm hoping this photo shows a bit more of the shimmer of the Bliss, and beautiful stamp details.

Happy to see you here today!

Bird in the Clouds

 

The Every Bird Stamp Set of 2 is a perfect focal image for the Cloud Edger Stencil from a Colorful Life Designs (available from Technique Junkies). Don't you just love this little guy? My bird was colored with Copic Markers.

Ride to Live

 

Horse people know. There is nothing in this world like riding a horse. The freedom. The love. The connection. This stamp is from the Technique Junkies To Ride a Horse stamp set.

Hillside Village Z-Fold Card

 

Usually Z-fold cards are landscape orientation, But I wanted to try a "Portrait" card using Hillside Village.   I chose to watercolor the homes in the same color range from the background paper.  The two verses are from Something Will Grow and from Modern Encouragements.

The measurements are: Base card is 9 3/4 inches by 5 1/2 .    Score at 4 1/4  and 2  3/4.  

The tag is 3  inches by 2 inches.  But you can make the tag to fit  whatever verse you wish to put on the tag.  Measure and use whatever background paper you wish.  

When you use the code TJ10Judy, you save another 10% off your order!

And don't forget the New March stamps Bundle -- it is 20% off! That is a savings of $26. 05! And you can use the code TJ10Judy and get another 10%. What a deal!

Have a great day and get inky!

 

 

 

Dotted Blooms Rainbow

    Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today and I've got a fun and colorful card to share with you.  Did you see the new stamps this month?  One of them is this new Dotted Blooms background stamp.  I love it!  I embossed the Dotted Blooms with white embossing powder and then used distress inks to make a colorful rainbow.  After I applied the inks, I rubbed the embossed areas with a tissue to make those white blooms pop out.  The sentiment is from the Five Fab Phrases set.
