Technique of the Week - Stencil Collage by Judy Jackson

If you are a regular follower of this Technique Junkie Design Team blog, then you may remember  that I posted a card for our daughter who WAS expecting a new baby girl soon.  We are with her and her little family now -- all the way in Romania.  I  was unable to get a different card done for this blog before we left. 

I really do like this technique. It gives an interesting dimension to a collage stamp with the stencil  you choose. This focal image stamp is from Art Neko and the verse is from Sweet and Sassy Stamps.

And now -- Naomi Abigail! She weighed 8 pounds and was 21 3/4 inches long!  And she is  a delight.

Happy stamping from a happy Gramma!

Pressed Stains

Hi junkies, Tricia here.  I absolutely love this stamp from I Brake For Stamps.  I used my no line coloring technique.  I just love the look.  I seem to be better with flowers as they are forgiving.  I colored the image with copics.  

The technique is from this months newsletter called pressed stains.  I used the same distress stain to color my white ribbon with purple polka dots to match my background.

I hope you have a crafty day!!! Thanks for stopping by.

Stencil Collage Day Two

Hello again everyone, It's Jackie K here with my second Technique of the Week Stencil Collage card.

 

Once again I have used designer paper for the background. I also used green and white acrylic paint and a foam dauber for the stencil. I just love this bamboo stencil from Delta. As you see this is quite a variation from my first example, which is what makes this technique so much fun! The koi stamp is from Art Neko of course...where else would you go for Asian stamps? I don't know who makes that Asian symbol paper punch that I have used in the corner.

Please try this technique and post your results to the Yahoo group.Have a wonderful day!!!

Technique of the Week: Stencil Collage

Hello, it's Jackie K here and it's my privilege to introduce the Technique of the Week

Stencil Collage

These cards come together fast and are really fun . The variations are endless, and it's been my experience that they come out great every time!

I have used designer paper to stencil and stamp over but you can design your background paper with any technique you like. That's one of the things that makes this technique so versatile.

I have used a daisy stencil from Plaid and I'm sure you recognize the daisy stamp from Penny Black. The flourish is from Magenta.

When you read the technique, you will see that you have many options as to what to use with the stencils. I tried quite a few things and I was happiest with white acrylic paint and a foam dauber. I'm quite certain you will find something out of your array of inks and other products to get the desired  effect that is pleasing to you.

So give it a go and don't forget to post your creations to the Yahoo group so we can all enjoy them.

I will be back tomorrow with yet another Stencil Collage. I hope to "see' you then!

Jackie K Here Joining in the Fun!

My contribution to the Technique of the Week! The Faux Silk Designer Paper Technique

from the most recent newsletter!

 My designer paper is from the So-So Sweet collection from the Paper Studio.The "Happy Birthday" stamp is from Stampabilities. The die cut is from Spellbinders; Lattice Rectangles.

With so many of these background type techniques, I find myself so reluctant to cover up the beautiful results. I keep it simple just for that reason. As Tricia mentioned in her post, (wasn't her card gorgeous?) it is a shame you can't see the shimmer. A word of advice however, use a lightly colored pearlized spray. If it is too dark, the paper won't show through. I used a pale pink but still had to blot it a bit. Now that I am looking at the photo, you can't really see the fine wrinkles of the tissue paper either. I think I need to take a beginner photography course LOL!

Give this technique a go won't you? You won't regret it!

Embossed Gelatos: Michael Strong Gecko

Hello TJ Friends! Kathie McGuire here to share a card I made using the Technique of the Week: Embossed Gelatos. What a fast and fun technique! I had the main image already completed in my stash, so it was a snap to make a background to match! I love easy! All stamps are Strong Stamps. Thanks for stopping by today; I hope you enjoyed the project. Kathie

Faux Silk Designer Paper

Good Morning Junkies:

Nancy Dawson here with our Technique of the Week! Faux Silk Designer Paper as featured in the June/July 2013 Technique Junkie Newsletter.

I started with Stampin' Up Designer Paper accented with their new Delicate Lace trim. The little framelit bird makes such a great focal point from the Rusty Pickle collection with a tiny bow accent.

This is such a fun and easy technique...won't you play along? Would love to see your creations!

Happy Stampin'

Nancy
