Card in a Box

 I joined in a Mingle in the Oriental Stamp Art Yahoo group recently for Different kinds of folds cards. One of our Sponsors at Technique Junkies is About Art Accents- and I used a newly released stamp plate for Spring and made a Card in a Box.

  Here are the sides of this card:

And side 2:

And here is the back:

I used a number of Technique Junkies techniques on this card, including Embossed Wax Paper Resist, Salt and Pepper and Simple Sumi (dragonflies).  I stamped the images and colored some using Copics, others (tulips) were watercolored.

What is really neat with these cards, is that they fold down flat to put in an envelope to mail.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Male and Female Aged Text Boards

Hi there, Hetty here with one of the

great techniques from the April/May 2014 TJ Newsletter.

As a design team member we get a number

of techniques assigned to do for the newsletter,

so that always leaves some we did not do.

I love to try all the techniques and I must

say this is one of my favourites from this newsletter:

Aged Text Boards.

I had somuch fun making these cards.

I made a male and a female version,

so you see this technique is absolute

multifunctional.

For both cards I have used

a background from a very old magazine

that I once bought on a flee market with using

it for cards in my mind. This technique

is just perfect for it.

All the stamps you see here are

from my Stampers Anonymous/ Tim Holtz collection.

Hope I have inspired you to give this technique

a try.You won't regret it.

Have a creative day!

Folding Screen Card

From the Shape It CD!

 

The above photo shows the card closed. The stamp used is from Club Scrap. The bamboo is cut with my Cricut using the Pagoda Cartridge. One of my most favorite cartridges!

 

This photo shows the card open. Isn't it fun? I so enjoyed making this card. It is a bit different than most, and I love that about it! The stamps used are from Technique Junkie Stamps, Inkadinkado and once again I used my Pagoda cartridge for the added extras. The punch at the top is from Martha Stewart and the bottom punch is from Stampin Up (the ticket punch.)

Thanks for looking. I will see you back here soon.

Over Stamped Bands by Judy Jackson

This is Judy Jackson writing to you today.  Unfortunately, I do not have something to show from the Technique of the Week.  I am out of town and will not be able to complete anything with the Technique of the Week.  I do have two cards for you using the Over Stamped Bands from December 2013 newsletter.  Both cards use all Technique Junkie stamps - http://www.stampcamp.com/.

 

This is a wonderfully easy technique that give you wonderful results!  I hope you will try it soon!

 

Have a wonderfully creative day.

Shaped Stencils

Hi folks!  How is your week going?  Is the weather warming up, or is it turning cold again like it is here in southern Ontario, Canada.  Can you believe we are expecting flurries?  Oh my, when is this winter going to end?

Today I have Shaped Stencils from the current issue of the Newsletter.  My stencil is from Dreamweaver, and my die is from Impression Obsession.  Sentiment is Stampn' Up!

The stencil adds such a lovely touch, wouldn't you agree? Stencils are certainly the rage today. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Designer Paper Coasters

What a fun, fast and lovely gift to make for someone for any occasion! Not only are they pretty, they are useful and can be personalized to match any décor.

 

 

 

 

The above photo shows the coasters packaged in a bow and ready to give to my daughter....just because!

 

 

The above photo shows each individual coaster. My daughter loves black and white so I know she will love these and put them to good use.

 

I will definitely be making more of these and you should make some too! Surely there is someone you know that needs a little gift!

See you soon,

Jackie K
