Pearly Gelatos Wash: Passover Wishes

Hi Hetty here,

and I have been playing with my gelatos.

It is one of the techniques in the new April/ May

newsletter and is called Pearly Gelatos Wash.

It is one of those super easy techniques.

In a jiffy you have all these pearly backgrounds ready

for making great backgrounds for your cards. It is always

a pity you do not see the glittery background on screen.

You can use them plain like this. Or emboss them.

Or you can use those wonderful Technique Junkies 

stamp backgrounds togive them more depth.

Another option is to stamp them first and then 

use one of your embossing plates.

Enough ideas?

Here is one of my finished cards.

As Passover is near, I needed 

some new cards for the occasion.

The sentiment is SU! and the 

Passover plate is frommu unknown stash.

The decoration with the flowers and the ribbon

finish the card to give it a Spring feeling.

If you want to see what happened to the other 4 backgrounds,

please take a look at my Craftchaos Blog.

Thanks for looking

and wishing all my Jewish stamp friends a 

and have a creative day!

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!
