TJ Inkspirations: Stenciled Ghosts and Clouds

 

I have fallen in love with the Marvelous Masks made by A Colorful Life Designs. Each set includes 4 masks and 4 stencils in varying sizes. There are many different shapes  to choose from: hearts, ornaments, circles, squares, rectangles, stars - you name it.  I have fallen in love with the Ghosties! I was playing with them and this idea popped in my head, so of course I had to share it with you. I combined the Marvelous Mask Ghosties with the Cloud Edger for this fun tutorial. And here are the artwork pieces made from the tutorial: Marvelous Mask Ghosties with the Cloud Edger And here is how we made these: Stenciled Ghosts and Clouds Stenciled Ghosts and Clouds by Technique Junkies And just a little more artwork:

Wise Men Still Seek Him

 

Hello, and welcome, Lynda Joy here.  

It's my turn to post on the TJ blog.  

I love this stamp from the new release.

When I saw it I immediately new it had 

to be made with purple and gold.  

So, here it is!

 

I used the Wise Men image, and stamped and embossed it onto eggplant card stock.  I layered that onto gold, then did a little more layering for a square card.

 

It's easy, quick, and oh, so elegant with all that regal gold!

 

I hope you have enjoyed this release of fabulous stamps.  Today is the last day for the 15% discount on the new release stamps.  Of course, you can always add my discount code for an additional 10% off your entire order.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Blessings,

 

Sandy Little Christmas Card

Hello fellow stamp lovers, it's Beverly with you today.  I always say there are few rubber stamps I have met which I didn't love (and I have the collection to prove it).  But there are also certain images like flamingos I am super crazy about.  When I saw the new October Sandy Christmas, it flew into my shopping cart!  After coloring the Sandy Christmas image, I paired it with patterned paper and washi tape for a quick card.

I stamped the inside with the new Inside Out: 12 Cookies Set of 10 Stamps.  What I loved about this set is how you can use it for the insides of your cards OR for the front as well.

Be sure to check out all the new October release stamps (plus other Technique Junkies stamps).  If you use the above code you can take 10% off your order too!  Woo Hoo!  So put those comfy pants on and grab your beverage of choice and SHOP!

 

Love it when I get Christmas cards knocked off my list. Mine are all different, so I love it when I have a great variety of stamps to work with. The October release has some awesome options. I used a couple of them to make today's snarky Christmas card.

BAH HUMBUG (SD1044)
INSIDE OUT: 12 COOKIES (SS125)

You will get so much use out of these sets...the inside out set has 10 stamps included:

Look at all those sentiments! Rather than doing one sentiment on the outside and one on the inside, I opted to use both on the outside and I will put a sweet greeting on the inside.

I used the character from Bah Humbug (I simply trimmed off the sentiment, but you could mask it if you don't like doing stamp surgery).

I love the look of kraft cardstock and thought it went along perfectly with this style of card. I stamped the critter on white cardstock and cut it out, attaching it with foam tape. The sentiments were stamped directly on the card base, and I added a hand-drawn border for a little more whimsy.

Holy Night Silent Night

Wow, what an awesome release, eh? (sorry, I'm Canadian and say "eh" all the time).  I hope you had the chance to view the new release work from the Design Team.  My dimensional card uses Holy Night Silent Night to signify a very important event in the village of Bethlehem, of which was added using die cuts.  

Using pale blue cardstock, I blended three colours of blue ink onto the cardstock; leaving the ink to air dry over night  (as I made multiples of this card), then added Bethlehem dies.  Once they were in place, I added Holy Night Silent Night with white embossing powder.

Joyful Jingle

Hello.  Lynda Joy here, with a card for my turn on the TJ blog.  I am using the Joyful Jingle stamp and the Jingle Bells stencil.

 

Here's how I made my card:

• I stamped the Joyful Jingle stamp onto smooth bristol, using my Misti.  I inked the words with red distress ink and stamped.  Then I inked the bells with shades of yellow, wild honey, and a brown.  I added each color gradually, stamping after each application.  The Misti makes this so easy!
• For the panel, I applied the same colors through the Jingle Bells stencil on a strip, attached it to red, and then to the panel, then the entire panel to a red A2 card front.
  
• INSIDE I stenciled one bell and added it.

That was it!  Easy, fun, and perfect for Christmas.  I love the verse!

Don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, for 10% off your entire order.  The 10% is in addition to the 15% off the New Release stamps through October 8th.  That's 25% off!  Be sure to check out the rest of the release.
