Celebrating America

 Today my patriotic Celebrate America card is a great way to celebrate the birth of our nation! I used Rouge and Blue Suede Shoes Catherine Pooler Ink and added glitter tape between the colors to create some shine! This rubber stamp from Technique Junkies may be found here:

Celebrate America | Stamp Once Get Two Cards

 

Hello, my fellow Junkies!  Michael here with his first post on the Technique Junkies Design Team Blog.  I LOVE July 4th and miss it terribly.  And, I may not get to enjoy fireworks but I do enjoy making cards for July 4th.  And I love getting more bang for my buck.  

To make these two cards I used one stamp - the Celebrate America stamp.  I love this stamp but, man, it's a big one!  So I stamped it once on white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Then I cut the image in half, giving me two stamps.  There are so many words on this stamp that cutting it in half is easy peasy.  

Next, I made my 2 cards.  One card I used a star embossing folder with a piece of blue cardstock, which I adhered to the card front.  Then I layered half my card on red, white and blue cardstock and adhered that to the front.  For my other card, I adhered strips of red, white, and blue cardstock and then I layered the other half - again on red, white, and blue cardstock and then to the card front.  Done!

Done!  Stamp once, cut once, and make two cards.  What do you think of this idea?  I'd love to know.  Leave a comment below.  AND, if you want to save 10% on this stamp or anything else on the website, use my code TJ10Michael.

Stay safe this July 4th.

Summer Flowers Frame

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can be intimidated by large stamps. Emboss them, color them, skip them entirely ??  LOL  But I loved this Summer Flowers Frame stamp from the June Release and was determined to make a card for a friend with it . So I decided to make the stamp a little less intimidating for me and punched out 3 squares from the stamped image . And this is what I came up with !! I'm pretty pleased with the results .. What do you think ?

• I stamped the Summer Flowers Frame with Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drop ink on a lined piece of cream paper.
• Using a 1 3/8" square paper punch, I punched out 3 squares  ( next to each other ) from the stamped image . 
• I then colored the images with my COPICS .
• Clear Glitter Wink of Stella was added to the centers of each flower .
• On a piece of pale blue lined patterned paper with the word HELLO in the right lower corner, I stamped a sentiment from the June Release - Flowers Are Like Friends - in Elderberry Memento Dew Drop ink .
• The completed panel with the sentiment was adhered to a green card base.
• The 3 completed squares were popped up on the front of the card with a small space in between each one.

Hope this card shows you that you can think outside the box when looking at a larger stamp .. There are so many ways you can interpret a design .. Thanks for stopping by..

The Shells of the Beach

Good Wednesday to everyone! I am so enjoying the new stamps here this month! For this card, I used Sand, Seashells & flip-flops, set of 9. Check all of them out below.

I did a fun fold card for today as I am trying to get out of my comfort zone. I used a combination of designer papers, stamped some shells and colored them and then fussy cut them out. I used a couple of die cuts to showcase the fabulous sentiment and below is a pic of the inside of the creation. 

It is a great release. You don't want to miss out as all the new releases are 15% off through the 8th. On everything else, use my code TJ10Pam.
