TJ Inkspirations: Nevermore Scary Good Inspiration

Halloween. Most people love it or hate it -- not too many people are ambivalent about it. No matter which camp you are in, I recommend watching today's video - it shows lots of techniques for layering stamps, sprays and stencils for an awesome effect.

I also prepared a Nevermore Stamp and Spray bundle today with a whopping 11 items in it, so if you do want to take a stab at this card, you can get it all at once. The picture for the bundle is below, but you can check it out HERE, too.

Ready, Halloween crafters?

Here is the finished piece from the video:

Coffee ... Priceless


My card today is inspired by both the sketch and picture at the current Fusion Card Challenge - Coffee.

I inked-up two of my Technique Junkies Coffee stamps - Cups 'n Mugs and Coffee Barcode (2 must-have stamps if you're a coffee stamp collector like me) - in coffee-colored Versafine Clair Acorn Ink ... remember, you can get 10% off those stamps and anything else you purchase from the Technique Junkies store using my discount code TJ10Stephanie.


I cut the background stamp in half and added the border (inspired by the color of the notebook in the photo) between the pieces and the Coffee Barcode Sentiment mounted on foam tape.

I finished by adding some gold metal circle embellishments to the centers of the flowers on several of the Coffee Cups.

Pumpkins, Pumkins everywhere

Hello stampers!  Fall is in the air and why not make a tribute to the season with an autumn card.  I love pumpkins and in a pie is even better. 

Today I have used Pumpkin and Life is Beautiful.  Unfortunately the sentiment does not show up well in this photo, but in real life it looks terrific.

You can purchase these stamps, or any other product that is not on the clearance rack, at 10% off simply by using the code TJ10Beth.  Who doesn't like to save money? 

What is your favourite part of autumn?  For me it is the cozy sweaters and walking in the park surrounded by trees in full colour. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Watch the Leaves Turn

Leaf Twig is a perfect stamp to pair with Leaves Turn.  Both stamps were with Versamark and heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder.  I used Twinkling H2Os to paint the leaves on the black card stock.


However, you can gain 10% off by using my code - TJ10Judy - when you check out. 

Have a great day and get inky!

Put On The Hat

Happy Sunday!  Lynda Joy here, with some halloween fun.

I created an A2 card from lime green card stock, and brushed some black ink through a web stencil from my stock.  I varied the pressure so it was more intense near the center of the web and faded out lighter at the edges.

I stamped the Put On The Hat image onto orange card stock, then onto purple card stock.  I layered the orange one onto a panel of purple, and added it to the web-covered card front.
 
I black-embossed the purple one, and fussy-cut it, adding it to the one on the card front with foam tape to give it extra dimension and texture. 

Inside:
 
I did a little doodling on the witch hat, which I had stamped in lime green. 

That's it!  Easy-peasy halloween card.  It's supposed to be 85 degrees here today, so it's difficult to think about fall holidays.  But, fall is in the air here in upstate NY.  Color is beginning to show up in the trees, and the geese are honking their way south to warmer climes.  I'm ready for fall, and all the glorious gifts it brings. 

Thanks for reading my post.  You can see my other cards from the Technique Junkies September release HERE. 
As I write this, I have two almost finished winter (gasp!) cards for the October 1st release on my desk.  We can't wait to share the fun new stamps, and hope to see you here for the excitement.
