Age and Wine...

 Hi there!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog, and I'd like to share two fun cards that I created, with some new release products!

Both cards today use S875 Dotted Squares. What a fun background stamp this is - it's so versatile. I've used it two different ways.

Here's what I made:

This card features:
S875 Dotted Squares 

SDX183 Age Gets Better 

SS126 Gnome for Christmas

For the above card, I used strips of post-it tape, and stamped several different colors on an angle. The sentiment was stamped and matted. The 'wine drinking gnome' (lol...) was stamped onto a scrap of white cardstock, colored with Copic Markers, and fussy cut. He was 'grounded' with a scrap of the same blue as the mat and the card base.

This card features: 

S875 Dotted Squares 

SS129 To Ride a Horse (set of 5)

This time, the Dotted Squares background was stamped with black ink, and adhered to black mat, then card base. The sentiment was stamped in black, matted with black, and popped up over top of a pink 'tail', and a bit of bling was added for balance...and bling!

So glad you stopped by today!

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! 

Be sure to remember all of the new Technique Junkies March stamps are automatically 15% off through March 8. No coupon code is needed! And when you use the code TJ10Judy, you save another 10%!

Have a great day and get inky!

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!

 

Movies and Glitter Markers

 

Movies and glitter markers - life doesn't get better. The Technique Junkies Cinema Pattern Stamp was colored with Nuvo Glitter Markers - they are so shimmery! The sentiment is from the Go to the Movies set. Stamps from Technique Junkies.
