Free the soul with a little sarcasm

It's Wednesday again and my turn to post here at Technique Junkies. I decided to post a new release and one that is not! Please use my code TJ10Pam for 10% off of your next order!

My first card I used the Ephemera Collage. It is super fabulous. To go along with it, I started the background by using the ACLD stencil called "A dotty path." I had a bit of teal left on it from another project. Using my Pixie spray to hold the stencil down, I sponged T.H. antique linen distress ink and loved the hint of teal. Next, I stamped the image in black using my Misti. the sentiment is Silence is Golden, Set of 10. On the inside the greeting is, "The ability to insult idiots without them realizing it." Some teal gears were added for interest, the sentiment punched out with word window punch from SU! and popped on a dimensional.

My next card was super quick. I used Free My Soul which I stamped in T.H. broken china using my Misti. The designer paper is from First Edition Paper and is called Wild Flower and I used an embossing folder with it. A big silver and rhinestone gem and some distressed organdy ribbon and we'll call it done!

Head on over to Technique Junkies for all of your cardmaking goodies. You won't be disappointed!

Courage Encouragement Card

Multi-layer stamping and gorgeous patterned paper make this encouragement card EASY to create!

I used the "Courage" stamp, which is part of the November 2021 new stamp release.

Look closely at the lion's face and head... the face itself is stamped with "Antique Linen" Distress Oxide Ink and blended with a water pen. Then, a "Vintage Photo" Distress Oxide Ink is stamped on top and blended with a water pen.

Finally, Jet Black Archival Ink is stamped on the FACE ONLY. It's easy to ink the whole stamp and then just wipe off ink around the outside of the stamp.

Here's a look at the finished card! Thank you for looking!

Just Because

 

Sometimes we need to send a card "just because."    Just because we want to encourage someone, we want to let someone know we are thinking of them, or we want to let someone know they are special to us!!  Or it could be we want to send a note card for any number of reasons.  

I used 2 new November  Technique Junkies release stamps:  Ephemera Collage and one stamp from Four Little Sentiments.  I heat embossed the collage stamp with white embossing powder and heat set.  Then I used several Distress Oxide ink pads in various areas using blending brushes.  Then I spritzed Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper all over to give this card a delightful shimmer.

You probably are aware Technique Junkies had a new stamp release on November 1.  You may be wondering if there is a sale on all of these wonderful new release stamps?  And of course there is!  If you have to have  them all -- well here you go!  A special deal for YOU!!  And you save $23.16!!! WOW!!

Shimmering Leaves and Berries

 

Good morning, Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Technique Junkies released some wonderful new stamps this month, and I've used two of them on this card.  I gold-embossed the Leaves and Berries on white cardstock and the Warmest Wishes sentiment onto dark brown cardstock.  Then I sprayed some Shimmering Bliss (Luscious Lawn and Chestnut Mare) over the Leaves and Berries background.  This shimmery green and brown background is gorgeous when you move it around in the light.  

Feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% when you shop at Technique Junkies.  There's hundreds of stamps to choose from, so have fun looking around.  

Musical collage

 The way these individual elements came together so well to create this collage is heavenly! The focal image is the Saxophonist - previously released - but it works so well with the Piano Keys, Music Speaks, and Ephemera Collage - all from the November 2021 new release. The background is blended Catherine Pooler Inks; The saxophonist was colored with colored pencils. Remember that the November 2021 stamps are 15% off through November 8th!

A Lovely Winter Forest

 

Pam here today with one of my new favorite stamps from the November 2021 Technique Junkies Release. It is called Winter Forest Pass. I stamped it in black using my Misti and then used a couple circle die cuts to cut it out. I colored in the water with night of navy and then used Ocean depth Shimmering Bliss over top. Some of the rock were colored in with a faint gray Zig watercolor brush. The designer paper is from Recollections Peaceful Breeze. A gray mat and a white card base. The sentiment is from the Nov. 2021 release and is called 4 little sentiments. I used navy twine and a couple of small circle punches for the sentiment which is popped on a dimensional.
