Diagonal Images

 
Jackie K Here with Diagonal Images from the  Feb/Mar issue.
 
 
This is a really fun technique once you choose the correct stamps. These stamps are from Studio G except for the scroll at the bottom which is from Magenta. I often pick up some cute Studio G stamps at Wal-Mart or Michaels for only $!. I usually use them as accents but in this case they worked like a dream for this technique.
I will be back in a few days with the TOTW. In the meantime, give this and the current TOTW a try and post your creations to the yahoo group.
I hope the weather is better for those of you in the colder climates. Here in the desert, the Summer is coming too soon!
Happy Crafting!

Technique of The Week - Layered Portions

Happy Sunday Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks Technique of the Week.

The April edition is out and it is FABULOUS...thanks Pat!

The technique of the week is Layered Portions.  This is sooo easy and fun to do ...hope you will join the design team and show off your creations!

I did my project with a little twist.  My rose is actually a digi stamp from Aurora Wings. I colored it with copics.  The french script is a stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.  The sentiment is from Gina K Designs (I screwed it up so I re-stamped and mounted it.



This is actually not a card, I am going to frame it and give it to my friends' mom.

I hope you have a great day!

Aged Text Boards






Hello folks.  Today I'm sharing my card from the April issue of the Newsletter.  This technique is called Aged Text Boards, and is one of my favourite techniques.  I didn't have any pages from a book to use for this technique so I went to the library and bought a book for 50 cents from their sale table.  I'll bet your library does the same thing and recommend you check it out.  Can't beat the price!

I don't think it's a secret that I love sunflowers and couldn't resist using my image from Impression Obsession, one of our sponsors.

I surrounded my image with a die from My Favorite Things.

Hope you have a great day!

Rounded Squares by Judy Jackson

This is Judy Jackson greeting you today. I have been stamping even though you may not have seen much activity from me.  I have been busy creating cards with the new Technique Junkie Stamps.  Don't new stamps always give you new "mojo" for stamping?  They do me!

So this Easter card uses all Technique Junkie stamps. http://www.stampcamp.com/index.html


This is such a wonderful little set of eggs -  they remind me of the decorative eggs from Romania where our daughter and hubby are missionaries.

This technique is from the February March TJ newsletter. 

Have a wonderful stamping day!

Holly Brown: Rounded Squares Cowboy


Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Our Technique of the Week is the Rounded Squares technique from the current issue (Feb 2014), and I've gone for a rustic look for my card today.  I used stamps from About Art Accents/Art Neko (the cowboy and the sentiment), one of our wonderful vendors here at Technique Junkies.  I colored the cowboy with Copic markers and I used a rustic wooden button in the center of the squares.  The star is from one of the stamps in my stash (Deadbeat Designs) and I thought it went nicely with the cowboy.

Give this Rounded Squares technique a shot.  It's really fun and easy!

Become ~ E=mc2

 As Einstein says, "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world". So, inspired by this quote and the Technique of the week, Rounded Squares, I came up with a card:


I had to make this fun card for my sister- she is a Patent attorney but her undergrad was in Physics : )  All images are from Technique Junkies Stamps. I used SU Choc Chip and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and ink. I also added a touch of shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

 FYI- did you know there is an Einstein Memorial in Washington DC?  We had to go visit there when we went to DC.

Have a great day!
