Chocolate Bar Card

From the Shape It CD.

I had to add the bite to the card. Chocolate doesn't stand a chance around me, LOL! The verse is from Club Stamp.  Remember you can purchase both the Shape It CD and the Move It CD together for only $17.95, or either CD may be purchased for $9.95. They can be purchased here.

 There are literally hours and hours of fun on these 2 CD's.

Enjoy!

Floating Pop Up Card

 From the Move It CD!

What fun these cards are to make!!!! I pulled out quite a few of my old stamps to make this card, as I needed different balloons and while looking I found the adorable presents. Please excuse the acrylic blocks in the lower photo, I needed help to keep the card open while I was photographing the inside.

Getting back to the stamps, do you remember Suzy's Zoo? The stamp with all the critters on the front of the card is from Rubber Stampede. I also used stamps from; Posh Impressions, Copper Leaf Creations, Inkadinkado and the vertical Happy Birthday on the inside of the card is from Wordsworth.

I can see so many uses for this Floating Pop Up Card, from the silly to the sublime. Imagine a vintage sewing theme. The pop ups could be a sewing machine, thread spools, thimbles and sewing needles. That would be awesome. I can also envision a floral themed card with the pop ups being many different types of flowers, a watering can, garden gloves and garden tools. The possibilities are endless!!!

Give it a try won't you? I hope I have inspired you with my card example and all the things running around in my brain.

See you back here again real soon!

Technique of the Week

Hello, Beth Norman here with this week's Technique of the Week--Watered Crayons.  I couldn't resist creating a banner with this technique because banners are all the rage.  Watered Crayons is in our new April issue, so come on and shake the dust off those watercolor crayons--you won't be disappointed.  

My stamp is from Stampin' Up!  I inked up the stamp with Tempting Turquoise and then pounced on some black with a sponge.   The dots on the scallops were created by using Liquid Pearls.

Stay tuned for some more samples of Watered Crayons from the Design Team coming up.  Don't forget to send your sample to us through our Yahoo group.

Technique of the Week! Watered Crayons....

Happy Monday!!   A great big thank you to everyone who has been playing along with the Technique of the Week feature!!  Your artwork has truly been inspiring!  This week, we announce another great technique from the April 2013 newsletter!

This week, our technique is:  Watered Crayons.  This fun technique produces interesting and versatile art pieces.  My piece, used as a background to highlight an awesom image from Rubbernecker Stamps, is the perfect splash of color to pull my card together.  Additional stamps used are from Impression Obsession and Amuse.

C'mon!!!  Join in the fun!
TTFN, Jane

Birdy Bands

This week's Technique of the Week (until Sunday!) is called Inky Bands.  Here is my take on it.  I just got the bird stamps (fiskars) in the mail the other day and had to get some ink on them.  Hope you enjoy (pun...hahahahah).

Holly Brown: Bands of Color Butterfly

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and the Technique of the Week is Bands of Color from the April/May 2013 issue.  This is a great technique for backgrounds and I've gone with a spring-y pastel color combo today.  I used the Bands of Color technique on the white background and then I used my square Spellbinders dies to cut out a piece in the middle so my focal piece would match up with the bands in the background.  The butterfly and sentiment are from Stampin Up and I added a couple of small pearls to the center of the butterfly.

I hope you try this fun and easy technique and share your artwork with us over on the Technique Junkies Yahoo group.  If you are not a member of the Yahoo group, please contact Pat Huntoon for details on joining.  :-)

Bands of Color - Technique of the Week

Isn't this fun to have the Technique of the Week back again to challenge us to do something new? This week it is Bands of Color from the current newsletter. 

And now for a confession -- I should have done my card before today. But we have been very busy and are now away on vacation for a short time.  So I brought products and card stock with me -- no Internet where we are but general and shared wifi in a community center.  So here I am.

I love this image of these little girls walking in the sea grasses and the gentle sea breezes blowing their hair. It is a retired image from Stampin' Up.  I water colored the image.

I hope you enjoy this technique.  Have you tried it yet?
