As the chevron design is so popular at the moment,
we of course had to share a tutorial about this
and you find it in the in the
April/May 2013 newsletter.
For this card I used Club Scrap Take Wing papers (September '13)
and stamps (sentiment and birds). 
The background is done with a Great Outdoor
stencil (by Club Scrap) and green distress ink.

Hope you take another look at this tutorial, it is just
one of those quick and easy ones.

Misted Stencils

What day is it?  What day is it?  It's Hump Dayyyyy..woot woot.  Don't you love that commercial?  Makes me laugh right out loud.

Tricia here today with a new card.  I made this card for my uncle's birthday.  He loves old cards and my mom wanted a card for him.  I used a new time stencil that I bought as I thought it would go great behind this sweet old car from Fred She Said.  I love coloring this truck like it's rusty.


Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

Ruff Day?


Hello friends. Beth Norman here with this week's technique--Simply Framed.  At first I was intimidated by this technique, but I quickly learned how easily it goes together.  I love how this stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Collection, pulled together so nicely.   There just isn't enough dog stamp sets out there, is there?

Well, the fall weather is upon us here in Southern Ontario, Canada, which makes me hibernate in my stamp room.  I hope you're able to do the same.  Let's see what you can do with this technique too.

Two Cards using Embossed Alcohol Inks by Judy Jackson


Hello from Judy Jackson!  This is such a fun technique.  I love embossing folders and alcohol inks.   And this technique uses BOTH!  But the looks you get are vastly different.  Is your thinking process intrigued?  Well this technique is in the current newsletter! 

When I unmounted my wood mounted rubber stamps I tried to keep track of the stamp company for each stamp. Well here are two stamps and I do not know who made them.  do you?  Please let me know.

Have a great day!  I hope it is sunny and warm wherever you are!

Try that Technique - Simple Frames

Good Morning Junkies,

Tricia here and it's that time again and you are in for a treat.  This quick and easy technique is so versatile you just have to play along.  What a great technique to use to get a lot of cards done in a short amount of time.



I used stamps from Mark's Finest Papers.  I can't get over how easy this was to do and how lovely the results.  I can see me using this technique more and more.

Hope you can play along with us this week!

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,
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!
