Don't Judge Me

  Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share one beautiful background stamp used two ways, using some of the wonderful September release products!

These cards feature an awesome new background stamp, Leaves and Dragonflies.

This first card front was stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I chose a pretty green ink, and using my Ink Blending Brushes, I blended the ink over the entire panel.  The sentiment, 'Heaven in Our Hearts', was stamped with the green ink.

For this card, the same background was used. I used the Ink Blending Brushes to blend on some really vibrant ink colors, then using the Ink Blending Brushes again, I blended some gray over the entire panel. Finally, I blended some black around the edges. The sentiment, 'Mile on my Broom', was heat embossed on vellum using a Medieval Metals embossing powder, and adhered to a piece of cardstock. This circle of cardstock was popped up, and some black ink blended around the outside edge.

These cards were both very easy to make, but look difficult! Technique Junkies background stamps make such awesome cards!  

This September release is amazing! Can't wait to share more!

Bad Cattitude!

Did you all enjoy seeing the great new releases yesterday? I know the Design Team had a blast creating them. It's my turn to post today and I was so geeked to be able to use the Kitty Mug Shot set for this card. I think this may be my favorite stamp this release! The sentiments that come along with it are just too funny. Here is my card:

KITTY MUG SHOT, SET OF 8

Here's a breakdown of what comes in the set...

I know you giggled a little when you read them. Anyone who knows cats can appreciate every one of these. 

My card was super simple to create. Perfect for a beginner stamper or someone that needs a quick card. I just used some designer papers for the background and wrapped it with a ribbon and simple bow.

I stamped the kitty with brown ink and used a marker to add a little color. I stamped the sentiment in red so it would stand out a little. It's so easy to line up your images if you use a stamp positioner. I used the MISTI. I trimmed it down and added a mat. 

Well...I'm off to make more kitty cards! I MUST do one with each sentiment. 

Love this stamp as much as I do? It's on sale through the 8th of the month!!!! And just enter my code at checkout to receive an additional 10% off everything in your order!

Happy shopping and happy stamping!!!

Til next time,

Keepin' it inky!

Summer Flowers

I used the Dragon Skin stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for the background.  It was colored in  with the Ink Blending Brushes. The flower stems were also colored with the Ink Blending Brushes. The sentiment  is Walkin' on Sunshine.   I used dye based markers direct to rubber on Daisy Garden for the envelope. 

The rose image was water colored, and the background uses Lace Doily Stencil from A Colorful life Designs.   I used the ink blending brushes  to color through the stencil for the background.

Paper Pieced Gnomies

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today, and I'm sharing these fun gnomes with y'all.  I stamped Hanging with my Gnomies with Tuxedo Black Memento ink right onto a white card base.  That's right - this is a one layer card.  I colored the face, beard, and shoes with Copic markers.  I then stamped the gnomes onto three different patterned papers, cut out the hats, and glued them onto the colored gnomes.  This was a fun and quick card to make for a dear friend who loves gnomes.  

 

TJ Inkspirations: Cloud Edger Stencil Magic

 

The new Cloud Edger Stencil from A Colorful Life Designs Stencil has been all the rage these past few weeks, and I have been waiting patiently in line to receive my (our) order. The good news -- actually, it is all good news -- is that I have a ton in stock AND I have ordered a ton of new stencils to go along with it.  You can find the Cloud Edger Stencil HERE and a link to ALL the stencils HERE. (They are not organized well yet, but now we have so many, I will be putting them into stencil categories soon). So many fun things to look for! So today I have a video for you showing how to make clouds in a blue sky, and clouds in a colorful sky. Best of all, the video features some new stamps as a mini preview of what is to come with the September New Release.  I will not spoil them here - you will have to watch the video to see them!  Here are some artwork pieces from the video:  Cloud Edger Stencil with Love Hope Joy Faith and Peace set Learning to Fly and Crowned in Curls with Cloud Edger Stencil Bat Swarm and Hapy Halloween with Cloud Edger Stencil And here is the video: Cloud Edger Stencil Magic Maybe just a tiny sneak peek for next week's release: I hope you love this stencil as much as I do!!

I hope you are a little inkspired by today's issue. See you next week!   Sincerely,   Pat Huntoon Technique Junkies LLC
