Amazing grace.

Hello friends! Giovana here today showcasing a couple of sets from the new release August release.

I combined "Coral" and "Amazing grace", this card turned out super prettier, I think my pictures don't do justice, but I have a step by step process on how I did it.

• Stamp the "Coral" image on a piece of watercolor paper using Versamark Watermark and your MISTI of course.

• Add Bridal Embossing Tinsel over the image and heat set.

• Apply Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks over the image.

• Stamp the Amazing Grace stamp on a piece of clear vellum in StazOn Blue Hawaii ink, 

• Create a banner from the vellum piece, die-cut a gold border and sew them together on a piece of Gold cardstock.

• Add front panel to a cream cardstock card base. Embellish with blue and clear rhinestones.

Hope you like it a give it a try. In case you want to get new stamps (not the new release) and other special goodies, use my code to get a 10% off (yay)

Hello All Lanette Here!

I just wanted to share a fun card that I created using a bit of Nuvo's Gilding Flakes!! I think they might just become my new addiction! I love how easy they are to use and they add the perfect amount of bling.


Anyhow lets take a look at my card...

Products Used: Technique Junkies Seagrass Mat (#S758) & Life is full of Love (#SD682) Stamps. Martha Stewart Fine Gold Embossing Power. Prima Oil Pastels & Watercolor Paper. Nuvo Gilding Flakes, Versa Mark Ink. Deco Foil Glue Pen. Misc Twine and resin rose.

My card was super quick and Easy to make here's what I did...

I started my stamping and embossing my water color with our beautiful Seagrass Mat Stamp.  After I embossed the image I used Prima's Water soluble Oil Pastels to add a bit of color.

Next I add a bit of bling with my Nuvo Gilding Flakes and my glue maker. I just added a bit of glue here and there. Before the glue dried a sprinkled a couple flakes on my card and rubbed off the extra. 

For my verse I went with our Life is Full of Love stamp. Stamped & embossed on vellum.

And there you have it a sweet little card with just the right amount of bling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! 

I hope that I have inspired you in some way!

Hello everyone!  Chris here, sharing a card created with the new August stamp Do Rag Kitty and the Create Joy sentiment stamp

Do Rag Kitty

Do Rag Kitty, Create Joy

 A Colorful Life Stonework stencil, Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste

Shades of Chocolate

I am simply drawn to varying shades of brown married together in an elegant card. And that's what I have for you today.

This elegant lady demands your attention and wants you to beYOUtiful! All those shades of brown! Yummy!

For the distressed background, I first stamped Seagrass Matt using various browns in the Distress Ink family.  I then crumpled it up (like I was going to toss it in the trash) and smoothed it back out. I used a soft greyish-brown Distress Ink (Pumice Stone) and highlighted the raised areas caused by the crumpling. I also added some of that ink to the edges of the panel which makes it really stand out from the card.  After ironing it flat(ish), I added a soft yellow torn vellum strip, then attached the panel to my brown card base.

I added a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Dark Walnut and while they dried, I stamped the other elements of my card.

The main focal image, Vine Beauty (a new release this month), was stamped using Versamark and Nuvo Embossing Powder (Hot Chocolate). I fussy cut the image and added it to the card with foam tape.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Typewriter Set. I find myself going to this set a lot for sentiments. There is a variety of them in there that work with many other sets. Don't be afraid to mix up your stamps. They all play well together! Using Versamark and Hot Chocolate Nuvo Embossing Powder, I stamped and die cut the sentiment and colored in the "you" with a Zig Wink of Stella pen in Glitter Pink. I also added a dab of pink to the Vine Beauty's lips and flowers. I then placed the sentiment die cut on the card using foam tape.

I hope you had a chance to hop at the beginning of the month and found some great new inspiration and stamps.  If you like the stamps I've used here, or any of the other wonderful stamps at Technique Junkies, and would like to save 10% off  your order, simply add the code below:

Hi there Junkies....

Today is the LAST DAY to get the newest August Release stamps at 15% off.  You don't have to add a code, it automatically is applied to your purchase.  

Here's a little card I did the other day using one of the stamps from the new August release called "Hibiscus Panel".  

This image was stamped on watercolor paper and colored using my MozArt brush pens and and aqua brush.  The bg was created using the same pens and a watercolor wash.  I then sprinkled it with water and used a paper towel to lift the color and created the "orb" detail.  After it dried, acrylic black paint and water was mixed and sprinkled over the image for additional detail.  A final touch was adding clear sequins after die cutting the panel and layering it onto a watercolor paper panel colored with Brusos to help accent the image and the colors. 

This image is fabulous and I know I'll be using more and more.

I hope this card inspired you!!!
