3 D and Fun Folds - CD for sale by Pat Huntoon, our fearless leader!

Hello to all of you from Judy Jackson. There is BIG NEWS!!Technique Junkie has a brand new CD for Sale! It will arrive to Pat tomorrow and will be ready for shipping right away!

Do you like three dimensional cards and projects? Then this new CD is for YOU!

This is a Four Panel card I made for my hubby for our anniversary. We celebrated our 43rd anniversary just a short while ago. He is a wonderful husband and deserves a special card! The pop out part with the poem was my own addition - and has one of his favorite love poems from Elizabeth Barrett Browning on this panel. I used stamps from a variety of companies: Stampin' Up, Inkadinkadoo, and Stampington and Company.

This card is only one example of 70 different tutorials on this new Technique Junkie CD. And the CD is only $17.95 (for US/Canada -- overseas it is $19.95). It amazes Pat and the TJ DT that some resources have only 15 projects for much more money than that -- you will be getting SEVENTY projects on one CD!

If you have never seen a TJ CD, here is a real example from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD (the format is the same, but ALL of the techniques are different!) of the Vertical Accordion Card:

So what are you waiting for? Place your order today -- you can make this card, too -- I promise!

Tagged Backgrounds--Stampbooking CD

{Jane Bosi} It's a great day for another run at the Try That Technique challenge! This week, we are pulling from the fabulous Stampbooking CD. Our technique is called Tagged Backgrounds! I made this 6 x 6 page of way back when the Hubster and I celebrated 10 years of marital bliss! LOL! I love the way the background plays off the colors in the photo and the theme of the event! Won't you give it a try and share a memory with us? If you aren't into the picture thingy, this is a great technique for cards too! Give it whirl!! My stamped images come from a variety of sources: I Brake For Stamps, Impression Obsession, Stampin' Up!

Let's see what you've got.......
TTFN, Jane

Chalk Resist by Judy Jackson

Good morning from Judy Jackson! I hope you are having a great fall day. I love the colors of Fall, the crispness of apples in the fall,. the tartness of freshly pressed apple cider, and --- just the general feeling of Fall. What I don't like about Fall is that it precedes Winter and snow! But Spring does come!

I challenged myself to use the same stamp set with this technique -- using different colors -- and create two different cards. The stamps are from Stampin' Up and the background is from Cornish Heritage Farms. On the second card I did use one more from a different Stampin' Up set. I even used the same little embossing folder! I do like this technique and I have discovered that you do need to use a softer mid-tone (not pale) ink color on the background stamp.

Are you getting your fingers inky today?

Good morning friends. Beth Norman here with another Bandana technique. Paired with this technique is the Attached Pocket Note Card technique from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD.

First, I started with my Bandana technique. Butterfly stamp is from My Favorite Things. Next, I went to the Fancy Fold and Motion CD to find a card that would work perfectly with my background. The Attached Pocket Note Card fit the bill.

Thank you for stopping by!

Pat here -- My card today uses the Antique Bookplate from the October 2011 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I love this easy technique! Such a stunning result, and you don't need alot of supplies to do it, either! I think I will make a bunch of these for my Christmas cards (I make 70 or so cards; and I get bored making all of the same kind, so it is fun to have a variety!).  That is assuming, of course, that we still have a Post Office by Christmas (my worst nightmare, of course).

All Stamps from I Brake for Stamps. If you order -- make sure to use TJ10 for 10% off, too!  Have a great day!

Distressed Windows Try That!

Hello!!! {Jane Bosi} bringing you this week's Try That Technique. Although it's a bit late in the announcement (so sorry), it is fun and easy to accomplish!! We are using the Distressed Windows technique from the most recent newsletter! So, while it's still out sitting on your desk, let's get busy!

My image and sentiment are from TJNL vendor, Sweet N Sassy Stamps! I love this set with the beautiful butterflies and meaningful sentiments! My background stamps are from Impression Obsession and Stampin' Up! I hope you'll join along and try this wonderful technique--TTFN, Jane
