Cutaway Windows - Technique of the Week

I am happy to announce the Technique of the Week -- Cutaway Windows (June/July 2013 Technique Junkie Newsletter). The only real trick to this is picking the right embossing folder. I happened to have this one right on my desktop since I picked it up at a recent Stamp Show. Truly, I have an addiction to Embossing Folders, so I could have picked several with that would have worked!

I decided to add my color with the Smooch Painted Texture (December 2011/January 2012 TJNL). I have to tell you, I made a couple of cards for today's post. In one of them, the coloring was PERFECTION. I played around with embossing the inside of the folder, adding different papers, and other embellishments, too. Then I stamped the sentiment (a different one from the one above). I "eyeballed" it when stamping - and of course, I stamped it VERY crooked. Dang! I even tried cutting the card asymmetrically, but basically, it was toast! Note to self: Use the stamp positioner!

Can't wait to see what you make!

Triple Embossing- Summertime

Oh the idea of Summertime- there are so many delightful things to do....... Some people prefer to go to the beach, some like to go camping, some like to relax and read a good book....what do you like to do?  I like to do anything but clean....hehehe

  I made a card using a Repeat Impressions image- Oh, doesn't this look inviting?  I just need a good book to read...or maybe a laptop to browse Pintrest......The image is colored in with markers and I huffed to make sure all of the ink was moist, then stamped it onto the white cardstock. I used a dauber to add greenery to the leaves and a Copic to add brown to the tree trunk and branches.I added Kanji that says Dream..... The DP is Bo Bunny and it is highlighted in browns and greens.

I hope you will join in and try using the Triple Embossing Technique of the week- we'd love to see what you create!

Good Mornin' Ladies:
Nancy Dawson here to share the Triple Embossing Technique of the Week! Images by Stampin' Up.

It is such an easy, peasy technique that adds so much to your project. You can do this on Designer Paper or even plain card stock accented with a little sponging to add color!

Now give it a try and let us see what you come up with!

Happy Stampin'



Triple Embossing Technique of the Week

Hello, Jackie K here with my addition to the Technique of the Week.

There is nothing better than a fun, fast and easy technique. Especially when you get great results each and every time. Once again I used white acrylic paint and a foam dauber to highlight the embossed areas. This is just what works best for me. Your options are unlimited.

The stamp os from Pink Petticoat.

TFL and have a lovely day!

Dream

Hi folks, Beth Norman here with this week's Technique of the Week--Triple Embossing.  Just when you think there nothing exciting to do with your embossing machine, Pat comes out with a new technique.  Triple Embossing is a great technique that works on larger backgrounds.  My background is 5" x 5".

I inked up my stamp from Impression Obsession and did the Marker Watercoloring technique as well.  You will find this technique in the June 2008 issue. 

Don't forget to come back to see what the other designers have for you.  They will have something exciting to share. 

Pressed Stains Flower

Hi, Stampers!!  Ann Clack here.

My technique today is Pressed Stains.  No........I'm not ironing!!  Pressed Stains is a super fun technique from the most recent issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter.  I had a friend over to stamp on Friday.........Laura and I had a lot of fun.  She brought a hostess stamp set from SU and we colored up the Flower with copics.  Then we made the backgrounds to match the flowers.  I had one flower already colored up from the week before and had put a blue background around it.  The backgrounds we had made didn't have any blue and it looked really funny with them.  So......I made another background using a little blue and it was just perfect.  I love how every background is just a little different.  I hope you enjoy!  I included all four....I just couldn't decide which one I wanted to do the most!  Sorry...the scan was a little off.  The Hero Arts sentiment stamp had stamped the edge under the words and I thought it looked like it was supposed to be there so I stamped three more like it.

Holly Brown: Stencil Collage Pink Butterflies

Howdy Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Have you been playing in the Technique of the Week challenges? This week we focused on the Stenciled Collage technique from the current issue (June/July 2013).  I decided to play with some pink colors on this beautiful butterfly collage stamp from I Brake for Stamps.

When I developed this technique, I had these kinds of collage stamps in mind.  Sometimes I don't feel like spending four hours coloring a collage, so I came up with this fun and quick and easy way to add color to the collage.  I hope you enjoy this card and play along with us on the Technique Junkies Yahoo group!  :-)  Have a wonderful weekend!
