30 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS: DAY 17

Hi there, Junkies!  Welcome and thanks for joining us on Day 17 of our 30 Days of Christmas creations!!!! Are you having as good a time as I am seeing all these incredible cards?  

REMINDER:  From October 15 through November 13 here on the Technique Junkies blog we will be showcasing Technique Junkies Christmas stamps and during this time, Pat is offering ALL TECHNIQUE JUNKIES CHRISTMAS STAMPS AT 20% OFF.  You don't have to do anything....just put them in your cart and the price will be adjusted.

The face on this pup makes me smile.  All dog lovers would love to receive this in their Christmas mail.  

The card was made using "Nordic Knit" (for the bg) from the October 2017 release, "Christmas Dog" and "Dear Santa", from the September 2017 release. 

I used my MISTI for all the stamping on this card.  The bg was stamped in Memento Grey Flannel ink.  A window was cut using a MFT peek-a-boo wonky window die, as was the Christmas Dog image after stamping him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloring with Copic Markers.  The sentiment was die cut using a deckle rectangle die and mounted with dimensional tape.  I had such a good time creating this card...that face!  

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my card for day 17.  Join us each day for a new Christmas card inspiration AND TOMORROW IT'S A BLOG HOP FOR THE NOVEMBER RELEASE....OUR LAST ONE FOR 2017.

Merry Christmas - 30 Days of Christmas Day 16

To create this card I used two Technique Junkies Stamps: Creaking Trees - http://techniquejunkies.com/creaking-trees/  , and Gifts of Christmas - www.techniquejunkies.com/gifts-of-christmas-set-of-5/. 

I used sticky notes to create a mask above and below leaving about 1 1/4 inch in the middle.  I sponged green ink at the bottom half of this space and blue ink on the top half of this space. I used olive and brown markers to only ink the trees and stamped them repeatedly to fill in the spaces until I was satisfied there were enough trees. I used a thin marker to create snow mounds for the trees. 

The verse was stamped with Versafine black ink, and heat embossed with detail black powder. 

And remember you can get an addition 10% discount with this code - TJ10Judy.

Happy Monday, and get inky!

Peace on Earth - 30 Days of Christmas - Day 15

From October 15 through November 13 Technique Junkies Stamps is celebrating 30 Days Of Christmas! All Technique Junkies Christmas stamps are 30% during this event!   

This is one of my favorite Technique Junkies Christmas stamps - Peace on Earth Dove - http://techniquejunkies.com/peace-on-earth-dove/  . 

I chose a rich raspberry color of card stock and inked the entire stamp IN MY MISTI - with Versamark ink.  With large stamps such as this it can be difficult to get an even amount of
Versamark (or any ink!) evenly applied to the card stock.  So by using the MISTI, this difficulty is eliminated.  http://techniquejunkies.com/misti-most-incredible-stamping-tool-invented/  I just inked it again and was able to stamp in the EXACT same spot. Then the heat embossing with detail gold embossing powder was just perfect!  I framed it with gold card stock and the base card is the rich raspberry color. A shimmery gold bow enhances the card.

During the 30 days of Christmas, every stamp in the Christmas category is 20% off. AND every customer can use my discount code – TJ10Judy  for an additional 10% discount! 
That means if you use my code you would receive 30% off all Christmas stamps.  So get shopping, stampers! 

Have a special inky day!

Day 13: Amazing Embossed Gilding Flakes

I display cards from my classes at most shows, and cards from my Gilding Flakes class are always included. The cards from this technique are almost always the ones I get the most questions about, and people are always astonished when I tell them about the ease of the technique. Note that I finished my piece as a Christmas card - because  it is Day 13 of the 30 days of Christmas. Every day through November 13th you can check in with us on the Technique Junkies Design Team blog for inspirational Christmas cards.  Additionally, all of the Christmas stamps on the Technique Junkies site are 20% off through November 13th! Simply add any stamp from the Christmas Category and the stamps will be automatically discounted at checkout. Here is the stamp I used on the finished card today: Embossed Gilding  Flakes This is the finished piece from the video: Merry Christmas Wishes And here is the video tutorial: Amazing Embossed Gilding Flakes

I hope you are a little inkspired by today's issue. See you next week! Sincerely, Pat Huntoon Technique Junkies LLC
