Holly Brown: True Art Glazed Shaving Cream Flowers

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and I used this week's Technique of the Week - Glazed Shaving Cream Shapes - on my card.  I used stamps from Stamp Camp, one of our TJ vendors, and a flower die from Classy Cards 'n Such, another TJ vendor, for my glazed shaving cream shapes.  I love this quote from Albert Einstein as it describes all of us Junkies so perfectly.  This sentiment is also from Stamp Camp, part of a stamp set with more quotes from Albert Einstein.

I hope you've had a chance to try out this technique from the latest newsletter (Aug/Sept 2013).  There are so many wonderful new techniques and most of them are very quick and easy to do.  If you are a current subscriber, join the TJ Yahoo group and share your artwork with us.  :-)

Broken Borders: an easy and fun technique

Hi Stampers!

Hetty here with a card that is with such an easy technique,

you should give it a try, just grab your punches,

take a look at your August /September 2012 Newsletter

and find that 

~Broken Borders~ tutorial.

Here is my card with Club Scrap Tribal papers and 

stamps and also the butterfly stamp by Michael Strong.

I used a spiderweb border punch and a geometrical 

border punch for this card.

Here a close up of the bottom part of the card.

I used some washi tape in the middle of the border for

decoration. I made this washi tape myself.

You find some instructions HERE

on how to make your own washi tape.

Have a creative day!

Try that Technique - Glazed Shaving Cream shapes

Happy Sunday -- Tricia here with this weeks Try That Technique -- Glazed Shaving Cream Shapes.

This such an easy and fun technique.  I used some left over shaving cream backgrounds that I had in my stash.  I cut the hearts out with my cricut machine.   I saw a similar design on Pinterest and loved the look of it.

Hopefully you join me and the design team and show off your designs!

Have a crafty day!

ATC fun with Distressed Rainbow Strips

 I played with the dimensions in the Distressed Rainbow Strips tutorial, and made them into ATC sized measurements.

 

The fan is Stampin Up (retired), the Kanji is Mark's Finest Paper and the background is by Sweet Stamps. 

We visited China, and it is very apparent how the colors are so important- and have significant meaning there- Gold, Red, Green, Blue, Black and White stand for the elements- so are very represented in the scenery everywhere. 

Have a great Day!

CD 11 Blog Hop for Technique Junkie Newsletter - by Judy Jackson

Good morning from Judy Jackson! Don't you just love Blog Hops?   Isn't exciting whenever Pat Huntoon announces anew CD for the Technique Junkie Newsletter? And it is doubly good when you can combine a Blog Hop and a new CD!  Yahoo, CD 11 is exciting!  And the CD 11 Blog Hop starts HERE!

The TJ Design Team is here with a Blog Hop to roll out the Technique Junkies CD-11, a compilation CD of all of the tutorials from the October 2012 through August 2013 issues.  We are so excited to have you join us.

 

The CD includes 10 bonus techniques that are only found on the CD. All of the tutorials are in PDF format, so they print perfectly on regular paper, for both PCs and Macs. With the bonus tutorials, there are 100 tutorials on this CD!

 

It is available for order TODAY by clicking here (http://www.techniquejunkies.com/Cd11.html). The CD will be shipped in less than 2 weeks!

New on this CD
This CD contains a pictorial index that you can print out -- each of the 100 tutorials on the CD are represented with pictures in the index. It has been designed to make it easier than ever to find a tutorial on the CD.  and here is the Table of Contents for the CD:

http://techniquejunkies.com/2-CD11-Pictorial_Table_of_Contents.pdf.

 

I have two techniques to show you today from the Bonus Techniques on this CD.  The first technique is Stained Alcohol.

 

Same technique, different colors, very different results for a unique background! The top card features  stamps from Markie's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company. The bottom card features a stamp from Stampabilities.

 

My second technique to show you is Lumiere Spread.

The focal image and other stamps are from Stampin' Up and the greeting is from Markie's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company. The words perfectly fit the peaceful scene! I love this new sentiment from this company! 

 

Both of the above techniques are Bonus techniques not previously published anywhere in a Technique Junkie newsletter.

Distressed Rainbow Strips

Morning junkies, Tricia here with this week's Try That Technique from this month's newsletter called Distressed Rainbow Strips.

This is such a fun and easy technique.  I used the same distress inks that I used for my background to color my image (Gina K Designs).  The background stamp is from Impression Obsession and the sentiment is from Mark's Finest Paper.

I made this card for my aunt who loves crafts of all kinds.  I knew it would be perfect for her.

I hope you have time to play along with us this week.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  The possibilities are endless.

Have a crafty day!

Distressed Rainbow Strips

Good morning friends.  This is Beth Norman with Distressed Rainbow Strips.  As you can see I created a bright and colourful version.  I had a lot of fun using this technique and made several backgrounds at one time.

My knome, from Impression Obsession, one of our sponsors, was watercoloured with Tombow markers.  Isn't this little fella cute as a button?  The background is also from Impression Obsession.

Thank you for stopping by!
