Memories!

We are still celebrating the newly released Technique Junkies stamps for February.   Every stamp in this release is automatically 15% off -- no code needed -- through February 8!

This card uses the new stamp Best Things in Life.  I cut the stamped words apart in phrases and framed them using colors from the "background paper" which is really a colorful shopping bag!  The fern from the stamp was stamped randomly on vellum and then heat embossed.  I tore it to add dimension.  Then I ran through my Xyron machine to attach it to the background paper. I glued on a few beads here and there.

Take advantage of this good information and save 25% on the new stamps!

Have a wonderful day -- and get inky!

Fabulous Peony

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today.  Did you go through the team blog hop yesterday?  All the artwork with the new February 2020 stamps are awesome!  I used the new Day Over Fabulous sentiment on this card today.  The Peony Collage background was inked up with Distress Oxide inks (Raspberry, Coral, and Persimmon) and stamped onto white cardstock.  Then I used the Raspberry Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Day Over Fabulous sentiment.  Some rhinestones were added to the center of the flower and the whole thing was adhered to a white card base.

All of the February 2020 New Release stamps are 15% off through February 8th.  No codes needed, just put them in your shopping cart and the discount will be applied at checkout.  You can save an extra 10% (for a total of 25% off) all of the new February 2020 stamps by using my code, TJ10Holly, when you check out.  Have fun shopping!

Happy Wednesday! 

I really love big sentiment stamps. 

My card uses a fun new set caller Modern Encouragements (set of 4). I made a really easy background using a stencil (Dragon Skin from A Colorful Life Designs) and Shimmering Bliss sprays (Imperial Yellow & Mermaid ). 

1. I sprayed the whole background with Imperial Yellow and then made a copy paper mask and sprayed the side with Mermaid. 

2. I stamped the sentiment on top with black ink. 

3. I added white Nuvo drops for a little texture.

How to Make a Criss Cross Card

Today's tutorial uses two stamps:  Birthday Queen and You are Extraordinary.  You can get these, or any other regularly-priced stamp at 10% off by using the code TJ10Beth.

Hello fellow stampers.  Today, I have for you, an oldie but goodie Criss Cross tutorial.  I wanted to do something unique with my Birthday Queen stamp, so I decided to make a bookmark.  I have five of these images, stamped out on Kraft, and coloured, to turn into bookmarks.  Isn't that a fun idea?!

Supplies:

• Two 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock for base
• One 1 1/2" x 12" for band 
• One 4" x 5" double-sided designer paper or Two one-sided paper
• One 3 1/2" x 4 4 3/4" white/ivory cardstock
• One 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" cardstock for inside mat

Using 4 1/4" x 11" base cardstock, score two pieces at 5 1/2".  Using card base #1, from score line, cut on an angle from top  of the score line to bottom left.  Using card base #2, cut from score line to bottom right.

Using 4 1/4" x 11" base cardstock, score two pieces at 5 1/2". Using card base #1, from score line, cut on an angle from top of the score line to bottom left. Using card base #2, cut from score line to bottom right. Place adhesive side to the top of the other piece of cardstock.  The bottom should level.

Place Designer Paper in paper cutter and cut paper on an angle.  Ensure the cut goes from tip-to-tip. Repeat again if you have single-side paper.

You should have two pieces cut as above.

Adhere Designer Paper to the top of the triangular shaped sides of cardstock.  Your piece should look like this.

Using heavy duty tape, such as Red Line tape, place tape along the bottom, and up the side for approx 1 1/2".  On the right side repeat with tape going along the bottom and up approximately 1 1/2".

Fold in the right panel and press firmly to adhere the adhesive to the cardstock.  Place left panel over the right panel and press hard.  Adhere neutral carstock to coloured matt.  Stamp a sentiment inside on your inside panel.  Here I used You are Extraordinary.

Score the elongated Designer Paper at 5 5./8" x 11 1/4".  Add heavy duty tape to the end of the elongated Designer Paper.  Place it between the outside and the score line. Slide band over your card.

Embellish your band as desired.
