This new TechniqueJunkies sentiment stamp is a MUST HAVE!  (and all TOO TRUE!)  Here, I stamped it on a piece of multicolored DSP to create a cellphone screen and mounted it on a piece of black cardstock cut into the shape of a cellphone for a mini slimline card.  I used a silver gel pen to add some details and glued a tiny phone icon to the screen.  Get it here Technique Junkies Stamps and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!

Script and Stenciling

Good day! Today I am sharing a creation using an ACLD stencil 3D Butterfly and I stamped the Vintage Script Collage through the stencil. Colored the roses pink and added some crystal effects on them.the sentiment is from Peace and Comfort, set of 6. A bit of sponging, some brads and it’s finished!

Pray On It

 Hello Crafty Friends - 

Today I am sharing two cards I created using the Pray On It stamp set which is apart of the January release. The sentiment is so powerful. 

I paired Pray On It with the Summer Flowers Frame stamp set. I colored the flowers using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend markers. I heat embossed the sentiment with black embossing power so it would standout against the flowers. I used a clear shimmer pen over multiple flowers however it did not photograph well.

 

The second card I paired Pray On It with the Praying Hands stamp set. I stamped the praying hands in a desert sand ink color. I stamped the sentiment on top of the image. I lightly distressed the edges of the card stock. Nice simple and quick card. 

I hope you were inspired. If you like what you see grab these stamps on the Technique Junkies website and use code TJ10Shalana at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting! 

Ruffles & Glitter

Deb here with a card made using 2 of the January Stamp Releases . Welcome to 2024 and a new year of creativity !! I thought that these stamps went well together for my card for a friend raising a pre-teen daughter . Ruffled Fabric and Little Girls complemented each other so well !!

• I stamped the Ruffled Fabric image  with Catherine Pooler Daydream ink  on white cardstock, then trimmed it to fit my card base. 
• The sentiment was stamped on white cardstock with Catherine Pooler Peppermint Scrub ink and then trimmed .
• I adhered the sentiment to the Ruffled panel then adhered that completed panel to a Kraft card base.
• Turquoise glitter was placed along the bottom edge of the top ruffle.
• The chipboard girl was adhered on the left side of the card. She's been in my stash for years !!!

 

These are only 2 of the fantastic stamps in this release. The sentiment set  has 3 stamps included for creating wonderful cards for little girls ( or even for bigger girls ) .. Perfect for a newborn baby card, birthday card or even for a creative friend who loves glitter  ..

I’m In LOVE with Puffball Girl

Hello and Happy January!

I know you’ve seen the new stamp release by now.  Do you have any favorites?  One of mine is this one ~  Pullball girl #SD1286.  Isn’t she too cute?! 

Here’s a quick diagonal fold card using this stamp.

Have you made a diagonal fold card before?  If not, here’s info you need to know.

Materials:

1) 8.5 x 11 sheet of red card stock

2) 2 complimentary pieces of designer papers -each 4 x 5.25 (cut them corner to corner)

3) Adhesive

4) A die cut shape (I used a flower shape) large enough for your stamped image

5)  A cut “love” die or any message you’d like to use here.

6) Alcohol ink markers 

7) Black archival ink

8) Puffball girl rubber stamp 

9) Optional Pearl gems to add in center of tiny flowers

       Instructions for the fold:

Score the 8.5 x 11 sheet down the center.  Turn the sheet and score down the center.

With pencil put a dot in the center then use a ruler to draw a line from the center to the corner. Now draw a line from the center to the opposite corner.  Cut with scissors corner to corner. You now have 2 base pieces to make two cards.

Layer the cut designer papers on the base. 

Stamp image onto die cut shape (I used a flower shape) and color. Add adhesive to ONLY one portion of the back. You want it to be glued to one piece only so it opens.

Add your ‘Love’ die cut or any sentiment you like to the lower corner.  New little girl sentiments were in this month’s release and can be found here Little girl sentiments

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look.

Lion Love

 Hello, 

Valentine's Day is the second most popular for sending cards.  Have you started thinking about the cards you will send this year?   I used to think of making just one card for my hubby, but now I like to make cards for all my friends....especially the ones that need a little extra love at this time of year.   This lion stamp is so sweet.  It is two female lions sharing a hug.  I think it will be perfect to send to a girlfriend that needs a pick-me-up.
