Dancing Away!


I used two Technique Junkies stamps for this card.  The background is Dotted Blooms which I inked with white pigment ink and heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.  Then I spritzed several colors of Shimmering Bliss in different areas.  Please remember to not shake these up and down but roll them back and forth in the palms of your hands.  This prevents the mica from clogging the nozzle.  

The focal image is  How Far You've Come.  I did the same technique as described above with detail white embossing powder and various colors of Shimmering Bliss.  

Why do I say "detail" white embossing powder?  That is because detail embossing powder is a "finer" powder is when it melts under the heat of the heat gun it melts with more detail.  That is especially important with words so the letters do not melt into each other.    White embossing powder can be hard to find in detail, so if you find it, buy it!

Today's video is all about an easy Slimline cards.  The typical slimline card is sized to fit into a business envelope. Our card today is 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".

We are only using two stamp and two stencils. The results are pretty and can be adjusted with other sentiments -- but who doesn't want a card telling them they are special? 

There is a kit this week - just designed to save you money in case you would like to try this yourself. The kit is $19.99 and may be found HERE.

Joseph's Coat

 




Do you like going to the movies?  I do, but would you believe that I actually fall asleep before the middle of the movie is even reached?  I blame it on the darkness.  Al knows me all too well and will keep elbowing me to keep me awake.  LOL.  Tell me your story about going to the movies.

Had a little fun doing Joseph's Coat using Cinema Pattern and Go to the Movies, set of 7.  Wouldn't it be fun to enclose a movie theatre gift card for your bestie?  This would make an ideal birthday card, or for any other occasion. 

Would you like to have 10% off this stamp or any other product in you shopping cart?  Just use TJ10Beth as your code.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy stamping!

Tamashii In My Prayers


Hello friends.  Lynda Joy here, with another card for the February release celebration.  

For my card today, I used:
and
 
How I made it:
  • On a white matte coated card stock, I used an acrylic to roll on inks.  I love the way the acrylic brayers applies the inks in a sort of moddled look.  I used distress inks in various colors, blending them together with the brayer.
  • I stamped the Tamashii Modern Frame image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink in my Misti.
  • I stamped and black embossed the In My Prayers verse.
  • I outlined the panel with a black marker, then layered it onto a lavender panel, then onto a black A2 card front.
  • INSIDE:  I lined the inside with a lavender panel.
I hope you like my easy card.  It could very well have been a one layer card, but I usually like a layer between the panel and the card front.

Don't forget to use my code, TJ10Lynda, for an extra 10% off when you shop at the TJ store!  Enjoy your day, and try to find some time to do what you love today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Blessings,
