Hope in the Meadow

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  Today I'm sharing a card I created with the new In the Meadow stamp from Technique Junkies.  This gorgeous floral stamp is so fine and delicate and perfect for ink-blended backgrounds.  That's what I've done here on this card.  I used the Colorful Blending Brushes and several different colors of inks to blend a soft dreamy background onto some white cardstock.  I stamped the In the Meadow with black ink onto my ink-blended background, trimmed it down, and added a die cut scallop frame around that.  Then I stamped the "Hope" sentiment from the Dream Hope Wish Wonder set and trimmed it down, added some foam tape to the back and adhered it to my landscape.  This landscape scene was affixed to a white card base.

Blooming Wildflowers

Hello friends!

I'm here today to share two cards that I made, using a beautiful new stamp, Blooming Wildflowers, from the April Release. 

I made each card a bit different, to show how versatile these background stamps can be.

Here's my first card:

For this card, the image was stamped and colored with alcohol markers. I then used some Dolphin Cove and Thulian Pink Shimmering bliss over top of entire image. The panel was adhered to a blue card base. The sentiment, from the Four Little Sentiments set, was stamped with white ink onto a scrap of the blue cardstock used for the base, and adhered to the card front with dimensional dots.

And here's card number two:

For this card, the image was colored with watercolor markers, spritzed, and stamped. I used my stamp positioner, in case I needed to go over any of the coloring. I was able to get 2 card fronts from one panel. The second panel is a bit smaller, but will be matted on the sides to 'seem' bigger! The sentiment, A Good Friend, was stamped over top of a smooshed panel that I made with the colors from the focal panel. The frame was one that I found at our big box store a few years ago.

Thanks for stopping by today!

A Wisteria Miss You

Hi! Pam here on the blog today and I am showcasing the new release, Wisteria Background and my sentiment is from Four Little Sentiments. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and then watercolored the image. Once dry, I ran through the brick embossing folder. I distressed the red mat layer under image. 

Please feel free to use my code TJ10Pam and head over to Technique Junkies for all crafty goodness!

Happy Wednesday!

In the meadow with markers

 Our In the Meadow stamp is such a lovely, fine stamp for so many types of cards. It can be used as a silhouette, but today I used it with just a little color, tracing some of the lines with a marker after stamping it in Black Jack Catherine Pooler Ink. The sentiment is from the Inside Out: Size Matters sentiment stamp. Although the matching stamp is snarky - this is perfect the way it is.

She Believed She Could!!!

 

Have you ever been this tired?  I have, and it usually involved something I was required or requested to do by either my family or my boss.  I was a mother of 3 kids, a wife, and an elementary school teacher.  Now I am retired and live in a senior retirement community.  However,  I still get very tired but even now I "keep on keeping on."  I just don't have as many of those moments of being that tired.  

Stamps used for this card are Random ABCs, The Happy Housewife, and She Believed She Could.  I think she suddenly remembered she had to bake cookies for one of her children's classroom party. Its the end of the day, and now she has t bake cookies.  

\What has caused you to be this tired?

Batman Confidence

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  How about a Bat Signal to wake you up today?  LOL  I used the new Batman T-shirt stamp from Technique Junkies to create these two cards today.  Isn't that a great sentiment?

I went with the classic Bat Signal look for my first card up above.  I stamped the sentiment onto some yellow cardstock, cut it out with an oval die, and adhered it to a black card base.  

For my second card below, I glued down some blue, red, and yellow strips of cardstock to my black card base.  Then I stamped the Batman T-shirt sentiment onto white cardstock and trimmed it into a rectangular shape.  This is a great option if you don't have oval dies.

You can check out the April release stamps here.  Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You can pick up this awesome Batman T-shirt stamp as well as my two new favorites, Blooming Wildflowers and In the Meadow.  Come on back next Tuesday (April 19) and I'll share a card I created with the In the Meadow stamp.  Have a great day!
