Come Sit on the Porch

Come sit on the porch.  The weather may be hot but the drinks are cold.

This is such a wonderful stamp.  I just love these background sentiment stamps that Technique Junkies sell.  This one is called Sit on the Porch.  I'm giving this to a girlfriend to tell her my cozy balcony, complete with cozy seating and many cushions, will soon be open for a visit.

I think we are all trying to get used to COVID and social distancing, especially on our porch's and balconies.

Have a great week!

Last day of Christmas in July!

Today is the last day of Christmas in July! The coupon for 25% off all Christmas stamps will expire at midnight on Juy 27th (today). Don't miss out on the savings! Use code JULYXMAS to save.

Today's card uses Just Squeezed, Festive Flamingo, Silver and Thulian Pink Shimmering Bliss in the background. To add dashes of silver, I took the nozzle off and tapped the straw end onto the card stock to make splashes.  The focal image is Perfect Blend - colored with colored pencils and the words traced with Kaisercraft Glitter Markers.

I hope you have enjoyed our Christmas in July event - I will be announcing the winner of the random drawing with tomorrow's post!

Christmas in July - last two days!

We are in the last two days of Technique Junkies' Christmas in July, and I have a one layer card for you today!

I used the Silent Night Stamp with brown ink on Kraft card stock, then Over-stamped it with the holly from the Season's Greetings Set. I colored the holly sprig with alcohol markers, then used Diamond Glaze over the top (also known as Glass Glaze, Glossy Accents, etc) to give it a shiny 3-D texture.

Today and tomorrow are the last two days to save 25% on Technique Junkies Christmas stamps using the code JULYXMAS. Don't miss out!

Have a great Sunday,

Tropical Pal Fronds

Hi there!

It's my day to post on here the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I wanted to share three cards using some of the wonderful July release products!

This first card uses an awesome new background stamp, 'Tropical Palm Fronds'. I stamped the sentiment 'A Good Friend' on the focal panel, then cut an oval mask to go over it. I then stamped the background, added a whisp of cheesecloth and a unique die cut. Mounted the panel on green cardstock...done!

I love making cards that are so very easy, but the recipients think they took a long time. Technique Junkies background stamps make such an awesome statement!  For this card, the Tropical Palm Fronds was stamped onto a pale yellow panel. The sentiment 'The First to Apologize' was also stamped on pale yellow, matted, and embellished with a bit of tatting twine.

This card was stamped onto a pale green. I used 'Tropical Palm Fronds' and a sentiment from 'Wreath Wishes'. This is an older set, but a go-to for me! I send a lot of Thinking of You cards to church members, and love the size and font of this sentiment.

This July release has been amazing! Wait until you see the August release!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on any order by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.

These were so easy to create! Hope you will give it a try!

Now, be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out the incredible new stamps this month! 

Thanks for stopping by,
