A Close Knit Family

 

I AM super lucky to have a close knit family!

On the inside it reads, “In another city!”

I am in Colorado and they’re in Ohio🤣

I do wish we lived close…I promise.

I stamped the Flower Sweep (new this month) on a fun piece of designer paper and painted with shimmering watercolors. Matted with a piece of turquoise card stock and on white card base. The sentiment is from the new Inside Out: No Good Advice and was diecut with a stitched die and put on dimensionals.

Quick & Simple Card

 Hello Crafters - 

Are you ready to create a fun quick and simple card? Todays card is featuring the Faith Requires Trust and Butterfly4 stamps. 

I began by stamping the Faith Requires Trust in the center of the white card stock. The butterfly stamp was randomly stamped along the top and bottom of the white card stock. To add color I took a few ink cubes I and randomly stamped them along the top and bottom of the card stock directly stamping on the butterflies. 

I added gold glitter gems to the heads of the butterflies. It really was quick and simple and made for a beautiful card! 

I hope you were inspired and use your TJ stamps to create something similar using this technique. Use TJ10Shalana at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Old World Script

Deb here with a different take on the Old World Script stamp from the Technique Junkies March Release.  It's a wonderful script that I decided to stamp and then cut into hearts for a fun slimline card .. 

• I stamped the Old World Script image with Nautical Blue Memento ink onto a piece of blue wood-grain patterned paper .
• The  hearts were punched with a paper-punch .
• I made a slimline card base from a piece of blue and white striped patterned paper.
• I used nautical-themed stickers from Paper House Productions on the card base .
• I placed 3 Old World Script hearts down the middle of the slimline card using foam tabs.

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card from the March Release .  Remember to use my code - TJ10Deb - when you shop at Technique Junkies . It will save you 10% on your order .  I hope you are enjoying some wonderful Spring weather wherever you are ..Until next time, Happy Stamping !!

Faith on Fabric

                                                        

                                                            Hello TJ Friends!

Have you ever added fabric to a card?  I’ve shared this in the past, but in case you missed it…I’m sharing this technique again. If you have some miscellaneous fabrics in your stash or you know a friend that has some - grab some scraps and give this a try.

I’m a tactile person which means I like to touch and feel things. That is one reason I make cards that have fabric on them. They are also unique and one-of-a-kind.

One easy way to make these cards is to start with a heavy card stock base (or repurpose one). Next you’ll gather random size fabric strips, paint glue onto your card with a brush, and add your strips. Be sure to flatten them out. And it’s okay if they dangle off the edge of your card, let them dangle…you’ll trim them after they’ve thoroughly dried on your card.

After it has dried and you trimmed off the excess fabric, add your embellishments and sentiment. Boom! Done!

On this card I used the Faith Requires Trust stamp released this month - plus a button and leaves.

*Stamp your image or sentiment in a color that harmonizes with your fabrics.

                                                        Happy Crafting!

Disco Ball

 Greetings Junkies,   

I love encouragement cards!  Adulting is hard and I think we need than more than ever before.  I was so excited to see this new sentiment from Technique Junkies.  

To make this card I used mirror card stock and glitter card stock.  I wish the camera could capture the sparkle.  I love the mix of texture between the mirror and the glitter.  I used a round circle for the sentiment because disco balls are round.  Simple, but I thought it was the right choice! 

I hope you feel inspired and you remember that you are a a bright light... don't be afraid to shine!
