All is calm...All is bright

Happy Thursday Junkies! Pam here today to share a holiday project featuring one of the new "sneak peek" October releases: All is Calm.

 The sentiment was stamped first in the middle of the card with Versamark ink and heat embossed using silver embossing powder.

The background was created by repeat pattern stamping of one of the snowflakes from the Snowflakes set  onto watercolor paper with Versamark ink using the Misti Stamping tool and then heat embossing with white powder. 

Thanks for joining me today and be sure to check out our upcoming Blog Hop on Oct 1 to see more of these great new stamps!

Embrace Imperfection!

Hello Junkies!
Karen McAlpine here today with a scary Halloween treat! This project was made with stamps from the September new Release stamp from Technique Junkies.  I made two versions of my card. One is colored with Copics and the other is colored with Distress Inks. The first photo is the Copic version.

Materials List:

Stamps: Halloween House and Trick or Treat Banner

Ink: Black die 

CS: white and black

Copic Markers or Distress Inks for coloring

 Make It:

• Make a card from black CS
• On white CS, stamp the Halloween House with black ink
• Color the image with Copic Markers and add to the card base

• Stamp Trick or Treat Banner on white CS
• Color with blue Copics and cut out
• Add to card with dimensional adhesive

This is the second version that is colored with Distress inks.  I used the Ranger blending tool to add the ink.  The coloring is just a bit subtler.  But, still very effective.

Great Halloween card!  I would also use this for an invitation. Another great collection of New Stamps from Technique Junkies!!  So happy you stopped in today and see you next time.

Dreaming and Creating

Always Hope

Hey there fellow stampers and friends, it's Beth Norman here with a fun card for you today.

I started out by sponging Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Salty Ocean and Picked Raspberry.  After I let it air dry for an hour, I used Bubbles Stencil and rubbed white SU Craft ink through the circles.

Using Big Flourish and French Text, I stamped my card front using SU's Blackberry Bliss.

My flowers were created by using the Tie-Dye Chick Embellishments technique found on the Stampbooking CD.  French Text was stamped onto the flowers.

Finally, I used Always Hope as my sentiment.  I picked out this sentiment because of the flourished script that coordinates with Big Flourish.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy Halloween!

Greetings Ink Friends!

I'm back today to show a couple Halloween cards using the September New Releases!

I used both the Pumpkin Tree Guy and the Happy Halloween stamps

for both cards just done a little different on each!

For this first card, I heat embossed the Pumpkin Guy with black embossing powder and then painted him in using Art Anthology Paints. I used my finger to paint a moon in the corner too.

After drying, I sprayed the piece with the Colorations sprays and the painted piece resists the sprays! I used a piece of printed paper from the Spooky Prints stack and heat embossed the Halloween greeting in White embossing powder. I die cut a Bat from my Snapshot Frames set and

popped him off the corner to finish off the card.

For the next card, I treated the Pumpkin Guy the exact same way as above, except

I used Cosmic Grape & Blue Lagoon Splashes for the background. I sponged River Rock ink

around the edges and splattered Sour Lemon Silk to create a starry night. I popped him off another print from the Spooky Prints pad. I inked the Halloween greeting in Whip Cream and heat embossed with Clear Powder this time to give a more ghostly effect.

I simply LOVE how the images over at Technique Junkies work so well with all the other supplies we own! Makes them SO versatile! Be sure to hop on over and check them out!

Until Next Time...
Happy Creating!!

Forever Friends

Good Morning Junkies! Pam here today to share another project. For this week's card I am featuring two fantastic TJ stamps: a sentiment from Sentimental Sayings and a background stamp Poppies, Large.

I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Black ink and covered with clear embossing powder. I then stamped over the sentiment panel with the background stamp for  a coordinating effect and to add some interest.

The background was created using a technique called monochromatic ink layering which you can see here by Jennifer McGuire.

I just love how subtle the background is using this technique and it's super simple!

Thanks for joining me again this week and be sure to stay tuned to our blog for more great inspiration!

And don't forget today is the last day for the 15% off the Semptember releases so be sure to stock up now!

BOO! Polka Dots

 Boo! It's Scary September and I have a fun card for you today. This sweet little BOO card is really not all that scary...not when it is matched with brightly colored Polka Dots!

Making this card was really simple. The background was made by swiping Dusty Concord, Fired Brick and Wild Honey Distress Inks directly onto the Large Dots Background in three Swipes. The focal image uses the Boo stamp, which was stamped in black ink, then traced over with a black glitter gel pen.  Here is the close-up:

It's even more shimmery than it seems in the picture, too.

Don't forget: all of the September Releases are 15% off through September 8th -- make sure you take advantage of it before it's too late!

Happy Scary September!
