Life is a Song Journal Page

Good morning Junkies!  I've been working on journal pages lately and wanted to share this with you.  Since it's beginning to turn cooler where I live, I was in the Fall mood and decided to focus on that.

I started by filling in the background with a combination of Art Anthology Desire, Fiji, Tuxedo Velvet and Lemon Tart Velvet mixed with Splashed Sorbet, and using the Cracked and Dot Matrix stencils.  Everything is just randomly applied.  I then used the page to mop up some Wild Orchid and Juicy Colorations I had on my mat.  I then sprayed Rustic Colorations over the entire page and blotted.

I stamped Big Ornamental Leaf with Orange Blossom ink, cut out, and adhered to my page.  I then stamped Life is a Song in the same ink, cut it out, and adhered to my page.  It was still looking kind of bare so playing off the sentiment, I used by Brother Scan N Cut to cut out some birds and blossoms and added that to my page.

Here's to having a wonderful Fall!

Until later.........................

Merry Christmas to You

Good day from Judy Jackson!

I ran an white card stock panel through an embossing folder.  I highlighted those embossed parts with a sponge.  I stamped the Technique Junkie Merry Christmas http://techniquejunkies.com/merry-christmas/ in the center of the embossing folder.  There was no embossed areas in the center.  I used the Technique Junkie stamp Wasted http://techniquejunkies.com/wasted/ to add some texture to the rest of the empty spots. I only inked the smaller dots on the stamps. I used markers to color in the M and the C in the greeting.    A few rhinestones add that bling we all seem to like on our Christmas cards. 

And this ends the Christmas cards I have created to this date as I am writing.  But who knows, I may  make some more!  Have a wonderfully inky day!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Saturday Junkies, Pam here today!  First of all I want to thank everyone for joining us for the 30 days of Christmas!! Such wonderful projects and great inspiration from the talented design team.

To change it up a bit today I am featuring a fall/Thanksgiving card.

This is an absolutely gorgeous background stamp Oak Relief and just perfect for fall in New England!! I used Distress Ink to ink up the stamp and then spritzed it with a bit of water and stamped onto water color paper.  

Love the colors!! 

The Date-O-Matic stamp was added and voila- a Thanksgiving card.  This is a super versatile add on stamp for any holiday or birthday!

Just stamp a thankful sentiment inside and it's on it's way.

Thanks for joining me today! 

Embrace Imperfection!

Technique Junkies 30 Days of Christmas- Day 29

Day 29 already!!  I can't believe how fast the 30 days has gone.

 I feel like I have to apologize for the photography on this.  It gets dark now so darn early.  It's dark when I leave and it's dark when I get home lol.  Hard for me to get a good picture without some natural lighting.

This card was made by first embossing the background with a cricut embossing folder.  Next I stamped one of the images from  Trees Set of 6.  I embossed it with silver embossing powder. I matted the stamped image with some silver card stock and then I attached it to some craft foam before attaching it to the card front.

For the sentiment I stamped Merry Christmas and cut out the sentiment in a tag shape using my scissors.

Thanks for checking out my card. I hope your day is amazing!!!

30 Days of Christmas - Day 28

Hello Junkies!

The Crafty Nurse here celebrating Day 28 of the 30 Days Of Christmas here on the Design Team Blog.  I am casing Pat's card she posted in the TJ Inkspirations a few weeks ago where she heat embossed the "Winter Foliage" stamp on vellum, then colored with markers on the backside.

For my card, I embossed with Liquid Platinum powder by Ranger then colored with a combination of Copics and Faber Castell Pit Pens. My sentiment is die cut three times from Tim Holtz's "Holiday Words" thinlits.  To add shine, I applied Pico Embellisher Irresistible in Shimmer.

We would love for you to keep following the Design Team Blog for more Christmas ideas using the Technique Junkies stamps.  There are only a few days left so we hope you've enjoyed the cards and found inspiration for your holiday card making.

By for now,

The Crafty Nurse

30 Days of Christmas-Day 27

Hello fellow stampers and knitters.  Beth Norman here with a Christmas project to share with you.  Haven't you been inspired with all the goodness of the 30 Days of Christmas so far?  I hope I inspire you to create some much loved Christmas tags using #SD654 Merry Christmas.  I just love this image because it allows for colouring--something I love to do.

Throughout the year I knit large sized dishcloths and wrap them in ribbon individually, and in a group of four such as you see here.  Something I did a little different this year was to add bells to the ribbon which you can see on the close-up.  At last count I had 100 dishcloths made.  All 16 of my coworkers and boss receive one of these for Christmas.

I like to give my dishcloths to friends, pharmacist, dentist, doctor, etc., and what better way to present them than with ribbon and a handmade tag.

As you can see, I coloured the Merry Christmas in two tones with my Prismacolor pencil crayons and OMS.  You can even see the bell that I added.

I hope I inspired you.

Let It Snow

 

Hi, it's Gini and I'm back for another wintery card to celebrate the 30 Days of Christmas Cards!  This was a clean a simple card to make. I stamped the Winter Wonderland with the sky inked blue, and the trees inked green. I inked over the entire image with Versamark and heat embossed with a pearly powder.  I die cut the Let it Snow Sentiment and had a quick, but lovely card.

We have a few more days of Christmas Cards left, so keep with us for inspiration for your holiday cards.
