Technique Thursday

Good Mornin' - Nancy Dawson here with another Technique Thursday! We haven't been doing the Try that Technique BUT you are welcome to play along and post your creations to the message board. 

This is the Puzzle Layers Technique featured in the October, 2010 Technique Junkie Newsletter. I love it - it's fun to piece the focal image together in all different directions! You do have to color several of the images to make it work. 

Hope you enjoy it! He is such a 'happy' scarecrow! I have also done this technique using photos for a unique scrapbook layout. 

Let's see what you can do with this fabulous technique.

Happy Stampin'

Tag Fence

Hello everyone, Jackie K here with a Tag Fence card from June/July 2012 newsletter Bonus technique. Most of the stamps used were odds and ends I've had for ages. The sentiment stamp is from Bon Ton Stamps and all paper is from the Paper Temptress. Quite a fun technique and easy once you decide on your stamps and general design. I have always loved the blue and brown color combination....how about you?

I hope you are all doing well and are not too stressed over your Christmas cards, LOL! I am creating mine in my mind, that's as far as I've gotten.

Be well, stay creative! See you in two weeks!
Thanks for stopping by,
Jackie K

A Bevy of Butterflies! by Judy Jackson

  Butterflies are so pretty say I -- from Judy Jackson.  I certainly enjoyed seeing Viceroy butterflies on my butterfly bush during late summer.

 The In the Middle technique is both a fun and easy technique from the October/November newsletter.  These stamps are from Stamp Camp - an advertising vendor for the Technique Junkie newsletter. Have you checked out their stamps?  Very good quality stamps. 

Have you stamped today?

Torn Holes for Halloween

Hello fellow TJ'ers.  This is Beth Norman with a Torn Holes card for you.  With Halloween around the corner I thought this Impression Obsession stamp would be perfect with this technique.  You will find the instructions for Torn Holes in our most recent issue. 

In the Middle Sympathy

Ann Clack here with a technique from the most recent newsletter.  This is called In the Middle.  I changed it up a little by using a border stamp instead of drawing a line.  I think it jazzes is up a little.  Sometimes your mistakes make something even better!  I originally punched the bottom of the panel but my punching wasn't much to be desired so I cut it off.  After punching a better scallop edge on a separate piece of paper, I cut it narrow and mounted below the original panel.  I like it better this way!  In retrospect I could have put little pearls on each scallop for some bling.  Maybe I will!  Hope you enjoy.  The green swirl is from Prickly Pear stamps.  I really love that swirl!!  The purple flowers and blue butterflies are from an Inkadinkado set....same with the border.  The words (there are some on the inside that go with the outside sentiment are unknown.  I got them at a Rubber Stamp Convention ages ago.  I know this because they have the hook and loop on the back of them.  That was the first type of unmounteds that I did.  Now I just use Tack N Peel with bare rubber.  Much easier!

I decorated my cupcake box with rosettes.  The directions for making these rosettes are in the fabulous Rosette Wreath technique, also found on the Great Gifts CD.  The picture below shows what the box looks like when you untie the ribbon:

Isn't that cool?  I had fun making this box.  Just think of all the different patterned papers you could use for making your own cupcake box.  Use fall papers, Christmas papers, Valentine papers, birthday papers - the possibilities are endless!

Layered Masked Collage

 

The possibilities are endless with this technique! It will work with ANY focal image stamp and ANY leaves, branches, script  or floral stamps. I used Inkadinkado  as my focal image and PSX for my script. The stamp on the left (embossed in white) is from Local King Rubber. I strongly suggest you give this technique a try...you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for looking,

See you in 2 weeks!
