Dahlias For Easter

Happy Easter to all my fellow Christians, and happy Sunday to the rest of you lovely peeps!  It's my turn to post on the blog today.  
I actually made my card for this post about a month ago.  When I made it, I wasn't thinking about the date it was due, and that it happened to be Easter, or I would have made a more Eastery/springy colored card.  But, at least it features flowers.  Dahlias, to be exact...

Technique Junkies stamps:
Dahlias S811
In Full Bloom Sentiments Set of 6 SS105

I stamped the Dahlias onto kraft card stock, and did some relaxing colored with my Polychromos colored pencils.  I brushed dusty concord distress ink along the edges to carry the color out.

I stamped the verse from the In Full Bloom Sentiments set onto vellum, and attached it to the panel by wrapping it around and taping it on the back.  


I added the finished panel to another panel cut from the same die, using craft foam for dimension.  Then I added it to an A2 kraft card.  A few moonshine sequins finish the front.




And for the inside:

I hope you have been enjoying our cards for this April release.  I think these stamps were fabulous, and am sure you will find or have found some you like!

Wreath Wishes

Hello Junkies! 

It's Ceal, here today to share a card with you. 

My card today uses one of our April release stamps, Wreath Wishes. 

Remember you can save 10% on your entire order excluding clearance items  using my code TJ10Ceal.

To create my card I started with a white top folding card base and a piece of white card stock. I stamped the greeting on the front of the card base and then stamped the wreath image on a piece of white card stock, colored it using Copic Markers and fussy cut it out. I placed it around the greeting and popped it up with foam tape

Dahlias

Hey everyone, Jessie here with you all today! For my first ever Technique Junkies post! I am super thrilled to be on this team, and getting to play with so many wonderful stamps!

I am kicking things off with Dahlias (S811). You will learn I have a love of all floral stamps ever!! So in my true fashion I stamped them out and took my watercolours to them.

I tried multiple... and I mean tons of sentiments to put on the front of this little gem, but honestly she felt like one of those cards where all it needs is a message written inside!

I can not wait to show you what I have in store for my next post!

Wreath Love

Hey, Stampin' Peeps! I am back again with another wreath card. I am lovin' Wreath Wishes (SS104) stamp and it's versatility.  It comes with two sentiments, but I used a different sentiment from the Anniversary Sentiments (SS100) set. It fit inside the wreath perfectly!

I stamped the image in a light grey and colored it in using Tombow Dual Brush Markers, then softened it with a water brush and a light shadow. I stamped the sentiment in black, attached the panel to the gray card base, and added a few pearls to finish off the card.

Easy-peasy! I loved coloring this wreath. The flowers are just so darn pretty!

LILY OF THE VALLEY SEASON

Hello everyone!!! 

I'm pretty partial to the lily of the valley flower.  They have such a sweet fragrence and I adore the tiny bell shaped flowers.  They are also my birth month flower.  So I was thrilled when I saw this stamp "Lily of the Valley Background" from Mitten State Stamps in the April 2019 release collection.  

I paired it with a sentiment from "French Sentiments  Set of 4" (another favorite set of mine).  

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you found some inspiration.   If you'd like to add these the stamps I've used here to your collection, I can offer a 10% discount.  Just use my personal discount code TJ10CHERI.  

Have a great week!  

  

Best Wishes

Happy Monday!

I had some fun with the Wreath Wishes (set of 3) for today's project. I stamped the wreath, colored with markers and then cut it out to layer on a panel. For a little pop of extra color I sponged the area behind the wreath before I put the wreath on. 

Don't forget if you are ordering today you can get  an additional 10% off by using the code TJ10Jeanne at Technique Junkies!

Hope you enjoyed my project!
