Beach Girl by Judy Jackson

I created this flip card with a die and some heavier card stock.  I used my Copics to color the scene. You can find the stamp on this web page - http://www.stampcamp.com/atc2.html.  It is #SD103
Beach Girl.

Then of course because e it is a flip card you need to see the verse on the "flip side" -

It is #SD350  Day by Day and it is found on this web page - http://www.stampcamp.com/wordsandsayings3.html.  The verse is stamped in Black Versafine ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I hope  -- wherever you are today --  you are warm.  Somehow being warm helps me to craft more!

Background Burst

Hello folks.  It's Beth Norman here with a Background Burst card.  You can find this wonderful technique on the Bodacious Background Stamps CD.  Doesn't the background look like velvet?

My background stamp is from the Technique Junkies Stamps and is #S516 Flower Tapestry and my lovely lady is #SD212 Electa.  The sentiment is from #SS2a Simple Sentiments. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Stained Glas

{jane bosi}

Happy Thursday, Junkies!  I am happy to have a fun techniquey card to share on this gloomy-in-Wisconsin day!

My card features a wonderful and colorful technique called Background Stained Glass.  You will find this instructions to complete your own version (and, I'd love to see it!) of this technique in the August/September 2014 edition of the Newsletter.  To complete my piece, I've used the Technique Junkie background stamp called, Leaf Repeat #S608.  I encourage a bit of poking around in the "Big Stamps" category of the TJ Online Catalog!  There are so many great stamps there that would be perfect for this technique, as well as, the TONS of other techniques written for background stamps!  Check out this index for the Bodacious Backgrounds CD!

To finish things off, I added a sentiment, also from Technique Junkies, and a butterfly accent from the Wings #SS019 set.  Be sure to check them out!

Have a great, colorful day!

TTFN & Don't forget the awesome!

It's All About Stencils!

Jackie K here once again, I have made 2 cards and both techniques are from the Sensational Stencils CD. These are only 2 of the 40 techniques on the CD. It was difficult to choose the two I would do for this post. It's a wonderfully creative CD, and if you enjoy working with stencils you should seriously consider getting it.

You can purchase it here and if you are a Technique Junkie you can get 10% off by using the code TJ10


Let's get to my cards. LOL!

 This card uses the Background Stenciling Technique. This is a fun, fast, easy and effective technique suitable for any occasion.

This card uses the Pastel Stick Stencil Technique. Your possibilities are endless with this technique, limited only by your imagination!
There is no blue in my card. My computer is acting up and I'm lucky I have gotten this posted at all.
All stamps are Technique Junkie stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time stay creative!

Holly Brown: Gelato Drip Feathers

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  I've been seeing a lot of artwork using the Gelato Drips technique from the last newsletter (December 2014), so I had to give this technique a try.  It's so fun and easy and you never know what your background will end up like.  Those are the best techniques, aren't they?  :-)

I used the same gelatos to ink up the feather stamp (Peacock Feather, #SD038) several times before I cut them out.  The sentiment is perfect with this peacock feather stamp, and it is called "Hope is the Thing" (#SD371) from Technique Junkies Stamps.  Pat is working on a brand new website for the Technique Junkies Stamps, but for now, you can find all her stamps at http://www.stampcamp.com . 

Don't forget that the Design Team Call is still going on!  If you love techniques and the wide assortment of stamps at Technique Junkies Stamps, get your application in.  You can check out the details HERE.  We would love to play with you!!  :-)

Shine On....

{jane bosi}

Happy Friday, Junkies!!  Today, I am using a great scrappy technique from the last edition of the TJ Newsletter!  This one is called Tie It Together!  This is such a fun and stunning technique, I decided to create a specific place to put my technique pieces....I'm horrible at using them if I don't do it right away.  I figure a dedicated (and super cute) crafty space was in order!

The stamp that ties it together.....LOL, like how I did that.....is called Shine Today #SD441 and available in the Technique Junkie stamp store!  I feel like I use it all the time since I love it so much.  Which stamps are your favorites?  I'd love to see how you use them!

TTFN, Jane

Gelato Drips by Judy Jackson

The fun thing about Gelato Drips is you never know exactly how the background will turn out. You can find these birthday stamps on this web page of the Technique Junkies Stamp web site -- http://www.stampcamp.com/birthdays.html .

Have a wonderfully inky day!
