Touch Of Gold Poinsettia

Hello my lovelies!  Aren't you loving all the holiday inspiration on the Technique Junkies blog and Facebook page?  I am really into the holiday spirit.  Today I am using lots of red, with shimmery gold and a teensy bit of white.
 **See below for details for how to get 45% off the Fairy Tale Set and Big Flourish stamps I used inside the card!
 

Stamps:  SS099 Poinsettia Set of 4
              JT030 Victorian Greetings Set of 6
              SS085 Fairy Tale Set of 5 (inside)
              S448 Big Flourish (inside)  

I started with watercolor paper, and used distress ink with ink applicators to cover the paper with downward swipes of pink and red distress ink.  When fully covered, I used sprayed a fine mist of water over it to let the colors blend and soften.  When that was dry, I sprinkled droplets of water onto the background, then wiped them up with a cloth, to create soft whitish splotches.

I stamped both poinsettia images from the Poinsettia Set randomly onto the panel, using the same pink and red inks.

I used white pigment ink to stamp the Merry Christmas verse from the Victorian Greetings set.  Finally, I added some white acrylic paint dots with a stylus tool, then spattered on some gold FineTec paint.  

I layered the panel onto a panel of gold glitter paper, then onto a red A2 card front.

Next, I white embossed the smaller poinsettia from the set onto a scrap of red card stock, and painted it with FineTec gold paint, then spattered the same gold onto the panel.  I added this to a gold glitter panel, then a white panel, with a scant 1/16" border, just to bring in a tad more white to offset the white splotches and embossing.  I added this to the card with foam tape to give the card some dimension.

And for the inside, I used gold sparkly embossing powder for the verse from the Fairy Tale Set of 5 set and the Big Flourish stamp.  By the way...both of these fabulous stamps are on the 35% Inventory Reduction list.  See below for details!!  Add my TJ10Lynda discount code and take another 10% off, for a 45% discount now!!

Hello Junkies! 

It's Ceal here to share with you today. I have a Christmas series going on over on my blog, Simply Beautiful. Hop on over and check it out for lots of Christmas inspiration.

For my card today I used one of my favorite sets, Snowflakes This set has the prettiest snowflakes and some great sentiments. You can get 10% off this set and the rest of your order by using my code TJ10Ceal. 

To make this card I started with a white top folding card base. I stamped the snowflakes with embossing ink and then embossed them in white. I masked off a portion at the top and blended some Blue Raspberry ink over them using the Life Changing Blender Brushes.  To finish the card I spritzed it with water and added the sentiment at the top 

May Peace Be Your Gift AND A SALE!

Happy Thursday!

I love being on the Design Team for Technique Junkies!  I get to share all kinds of fun stamps with you, and introduce you to great sales! Well, if you haven't already heard, TJ is have a 35% off inventory reduction sale right now. Lots of stamps are in this section.

I've made a card with some of the stamps available in this sale, plus it's a break from all the Christmas cards you've been seeing. 

Here are the stamp sets I used to create this great Father's Day card:

HATS OFF TO DAD

I cut the sentiment apart so I didn't have to mask it for this card, but kept it can easily be put back together on a stamp block or MISTI (you can save 10% on the purchase of the MISTI by using my code). 

INCREDIBALL LABELS, SET OF 2
Any of these labels would have worked on this card. 

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

INCREDIBALL JAR, SET OF 2

This stamp is not in the clearance section; however, you can still save 10% on this stamp by using the code above. And it goes great with the Incrediball Labels set!






So, to make this card, I assembled all my layers (if you need more details, just leave me a comment) except for the cream colored CS. I stamped the jar image in a soft gray. I added the label in a dark brown. Then using sticky notes, I roughly masked off the jar and label so I could stamp the hats in various colors. 

I stamped the word "Hats" on the label, and "DAD" on the other piece of cream CS. Those were then attached in the proper areas of the card.

I even did the inside of the card:

For the inside, I added another piece of cream CS stamped with Happy Father's Day. I know that's a few months off yet. But this could easily be a guy's birthday card with just a little change of sentiment.

Hope you got some inspiration today. Go check out that sale! I'm sure you will find lots more inspiration and maybe the desire to treat yourself to a few cool stamps at a great discounted price!

Til next time,
Keepin' it inky!

Winter brrr

 Brrr is the word of the Day I think. Hello all, Kia here with you today to share this winter card.

I am using an image and sentiment from the "Let's Chill" set, which consists of  4 different Penguins and 3 sentiments, and is super cute.

 I stamped the Penguin using Memento Ink and coloured with Copic Markers. I then added the stencil from A Colorful Life called Heart Flakes to my background, brushing around the Penguin image, and using Distress Oxide Ink in Wilted Violet. 

The sentiment is stamped in the black again, and I added some Nuvo Crystal drops to the centre of the flakes for a bit of sparkle.

This was such a fun card to make and I hope you have enjoyed it as well. 

Winter Bouquet and Inventory Reduction Sale!

This card used three different Technique Junkies stamps.  The first is Winter Bouquet, then Victorian Greetings,  and Ornament 1.  I used markers to color the Winter Bouquet stamp.  Then the ornament stamp was heat embossed and then fussy cut out and layered.  The ornament stamp is on the Inventory Reduction  list!

You can save 35% off of a large number of stamps -- some of which are Christmas stamps!!  And you can use my personal Design Team code TJ10Judy   and get a total of 45% off your order in this category!

I used the same Ornament 1 stamp from the Inventory Reduction Category to create these cards.
