Under the Sea Shaker Card

 Who doesn't enjoy a fun shaker card?! I paired 3 stamp sets from the June release to create this interactive  card. I used a piece of Kraft card stock and stamped the Fading Sea Scales background using Desert Sand CTMH ink. I stamped the Under the Surface image on white card stock and colored the image with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers.




I created a shaker using the colored stamp image, a piece of acetate and a circle die. I thought the teal shaker beads went well. I added some twine around the card base and adhered the shaker to the top of the base. 

The sentiment and seashell are from the Sand, Seashells and Flip Flops stamp set and were perfect for this card. I added a few clear dew drop gems which look like water drops. 

I hope you were inspired by this shaker. Grab your TJ stamps HERE and create a few shakers! Don't forget to use my discount code TJ10Shalana at check out for 10% off.

Sunshine In Your Soul

Deb here with another post showcasing a stamp from the June Release - Sunshine In Your Soul . One of my favorite  techniques is paper-piecing and this stamp is perfect for that .. You can paper-piece as little or as much as you want for entirely different looks .. 


 Sunshine in Your Soul

  • I stamped the Sunshine In Your Soul image on a piece of lemon patterned paper  and cut it out with a fancy round die.
  • I also stamped it on a piece of yellow paper and fussy-cut the petals. Both images were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Dew Drop ink .
  • I adhered some of the gold petals onto the lemon paper stamped image.
  • A piece of lemon embossed cardstock was adhered to a pale yellow card base.
  • The completed stamped circle was popped up on the card with several foam tabs .


I enjoyed making this card so much that I stamped extra images onto white cardstock, a peachy cardstock and a few yellow patterned papers . Fussy-cutting, pattered papers cut on the diagonal, some coloring and a few rhinestones all came together for a few more colorful cards .



There are 13 new stamps to choose from in this month's release - a wide variety of images and sentiments.. Please take a look at all of them HERE . My code TJ10Deb will save you 10% on all   stamps/supplies. Treat yourself and do some shopping !!


I'd love to know what you think of my cards. Do you like to paper-piece ?? I also like combining different patterns of papers. I'll be back in a few weeks with another card from the June Release. 

Until then, Stay Creative !!

Land that I Love

Have you ever had a fun little piece of crafty-goodness-thingy in your stash that you’ve looked at many times for a long while (years!) just knowing SOMEDAY you’d need it for that special card?  Well I finally used my strip of fabric stars. 
  • On this card I glued 1/2 inch strips of red card stock evenly spaced on a white card base.
  • I stamped the image in blue then cut out around it leaving a white border.
  • Matted the image on a piece of blue card stock and glued to base.
  • Last - I used that strip of stars I’ve had for years!

Summer at the Beach

Hello. Jeanette here. I don't know about you, but I'm loving summer. Of course, I'd love it even more if I were at the beach, but since I'm located in the midwest, that's just a dream. No problem, though... I can visit the beach in my Play Room, creating beach-themed cards using this month's Technique Junkies new release.

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.
