Happy New Year by Hetty

New Year??? It is September. Yes, tonight it is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. All over the world Jewish people will eat a sweet apple with honey to wish each other that the coming year will be very sweet indeed. The apple and the honey jar is one of the symbols you see on lots of cards people send each other. I was so happy to find this digital freebie on FireCracker Designsby Pamela. The text I printed with my computer. The apples are colored with copic markers and on this card I  used the whisped frame technique from the Feb/March 2010 newsletter.

Below you find the same digital stamp but used large and smaller. The honey jar I designed myself. This card is called a zig-zag card and is from the latest newsletter Aug/Sept 2010. On both cards I used Club Scrap paper from the Arts 'n Crafts kit.

So I wish all my Jewish stamping friends a "L'Shanah Tovah" (a very happy New Year)  and a wonderful creative beginning of the year 5771.
Info about the Jewish New Year can be found HERE.

Pencil-Over-Marker

HI TJ friends. Happy Saturday!! Kathie McGuire here to show you an old/favorite technique of mine.

Today's card is the ever popular Tri Shutter card that I can't seem to stop making!! I adore the folds and cuts which give me so many little pallettes to display some of my favorite TJ techniques.

The featured technique today is Pencil-Over-Marker, an old favorite of mine from the 2/05 newsletter. I thought it was the perfect technqiue to use on the rose images.

I hope you're off to a great weekend. And remember, make a good weekend even better--go stamp something!!

Stamp Hugs,

Kathie McGuire

TRY THAT TECHNIQUE: Cuttlebug Highlights

Hello Thursday, and hello stampers! It's time for the Technique Junkie Newsletter's TRY THAT TECHNIQUE challenge. This week Diana Enns and I challenged each other to use the Cuttlebug Highlights technique which is from the October 2008 issue.

This week's card not only uses the Cuttlebug Highlights technique, but I also snuck in the Waxy Cuttlebug technique as well. Who can resist putting the two of them together.

Cuttlebug Highlights were created in turquoise and used in my background, and the Waxy Cuttlebug was used in the foreground. The turquoise heart and background for the sentiment are also the Waxy Cuttlebug.

My main image is from Hero Arts and the other stamps are from Stampin Up!

Each week, you are invited to submit a card using the technique of the week, This week we feature the Cuttlebug Highlights Technique. Post your card on the Design Junkie blog post where I highlight this technique. You can also submit it to the Technique Junkie Newsletter yahoo group as well. We love to see your stuff.

Last week we highlighted the Fossil Stone technique. CONGRATULATIONS Francine JD Groulx, your Fossil Stone card is now on the homepage. Don't forget, for your chance to win a week on the home page, all you have to do is submit a card using this week's challenge technique.

Thank you for visiting.

Prayer Changes Things

Hello Friends! Jane Bosi, here, sharing some more great stamps from I Brake For Stamps and the Level Up technique (August 2010). This is such a soothing technique for me--although, it is hard to see the true results on-line. This "praying hands" image is smaller, too, but trust me when I tell you it looks great in person!

All of the stamps I've used come from the Inspirational Plate #3 at I Brake For Stamps. This is a great plate with lots of wonderful images and sentiments.

How are you Level(ing) Up? Don't be afraid to share with us!

TTFN, Jane

Leveled Up by Ann Clack

Ann Clack here!  As we speak I'm on my way home from a wonderful trip to California from a car convention.  Yup.....cars and cards.  That's me!!  My name on many sites is Stamps&cars to include both of my hobbies.  Which do I love the best?  Cards of course! But the cars ARE a close second!! This week I have used the Level Up technique in the current newsletter.  The image is so rich in its color......it is from Twisted Papers.  One thing that is really nice about using a vintage digital image is that you can print it off in any size you wish.  Here I printed the image on the bottom a little larger than the one on top.  It is VERY hard to see but I really truly did level up on the image.  The corn husk and the cob are both cut out and mounted on foam tape.  The cob is two levels higher than the base and the husk is one level.   Hope you enjoy!!
