Beach Memories

 I don't know about you, but some of my best memories are at the beach. In Flip Flops. This card captures that perfectly!

Butterfly Flourish Collage

                                                                                   Hello!

It's my day to post on the Technique Junkies Design blog. I have 2 cards to share today, using a couple of fun new stamps, #S915 Butterfly Flourish Collage, and #SS136 Lighthouse Sentiments from Technique Junkies. 

Here's my first card:

Isn't this a gorgeous stamp? The focal panel was stamped by rubbing some Distress Oxide inks over the stamp, and stamping. I took a baby wipe after stamping, and smoothed out/blended the colors together. The sentiment is stamped with black Versafine ink on colored cardstock. The sentiment is from another new release stamp set #SS136 Lighthouse Sentiments. There is something in this sentiment set for everyone on your card list!

And here is card number two:

Goodness, I wish you could see this card in real life. It's an 'oooh and aaahhh' card, if ever there was one! The panels were stamped with Versamark Ink, and heat embossed with Speckled Egg Embossing Glaze. Jaw dropping gorgeous!

Hopefully, this photo shows the glaze a bit better.

The sentiment for this card is from the #SS02b Simple Sentiments, Set 2, Style b set.

These were both fun to make - golly, I love this July release!

So glad you stopped by today!

Be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and check out this incredible release!

Hugs and grins,

Accept What Is (Ink Blending, Embossing and Foiled Cardstock)

Hello, Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here to share several beautiful cards that I created with a stamp from the July 2021 Technique Junkies new release. I used the Accept What Is stamp from the July 2021 release to make these cards.

I created a YouTube video explaining how to create these cards:

To create my cards, I used Hammermill Color Copy Plus 80 lbs. paper. I stamped the image using Versamark clear embossing ink followed by Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink. I then used black embossing powder on the card above to emboss the stamped image and sentiment. I used gold embossing powder for the card below. My backgrounds were ink blended using Catherine Pooler inks and domed foam blender tools. I ink blended from top to bottom using these colors: Party Dress, Tutti Frutti, Tiki Torch and Tiara. I used stitched indented rectangle dies to die cut my ink blended panel. I then used the next larger die to cut a piece of foil cardstock and used that as a mat for my ink blended, embossed panel. I used hot pink foil cardstock for the card above and gold for the card below.

Good Morning Sunshine

 

 

Good morning friends!  Hope you had a nice weekend, and are having a good week so far.  Can I tell you about my weekend?  On Sunday I attended a Zoom Gelli Plate workshop hosted by Robyn McClendon.  I'll have more to say about it soon.

Today, I want to showcase a pretty cool new stamp from Technique Junkies called Mornin' on the Farm.  This stamp proved to be extremely popular with the Design Team.  If you click on the link you can see all the samples made by the Team.

I heat embossed using black embossing powder and painted in colour using my Perfect Pearls.

Shimmery Butterfly Dreams

 

Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Remember last week when I shared a distressed collaged butterfly card that I stamped with black soot distress oxide ink?  I'm back this week to share another one but the process of creating this one is very different.  Last week, I started with an inky background paper.  Today, I started with a white sheet of paper.

I stamped the Butterfly Flourish Collage from Technique Junkies with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink onto some white cardstock.  Instead of letting the ink dry, I immediately sprayed the stamped piece with Golden Olivine and Mixed Metal Shimmering Bliss sprays.  Because I sprayed right away, I was able to catch some of the oxide ink before it dried, and the sprays helped the black ink fade out and bleed a little bit around the edges of the stamped butterfly.  If you're going for a distressed look, this is perfect!  As a bonus, I was able to get a shimmery and distressed look - love that!!

I stamped the Big sentiment with the same Black Soot Distress Oxide ink but I only sprayed the Mixed Metal Shimmering Bliss over it.  It's so fun to see the gorgeous shimmer on this card.  You can get all these products from Technique Junkies - the stamps, the Shimmering Bliss, and the ink.  Use this code, TJ10Holly, when you check out and you'll save 10% off your order.  Have fun!

 

Serene Tamashii Dragonfly Collage

 

The Tamashii Dragonfly Collage stamp is so serene! This Japanese inspired collage is so gorgeous for a variety of cards.

Pink Sweet Birthday

 

What a wonderful summer birthday card for the sweet ones in your life! The embossed folder in the background was sprayed with Thulian pink Shimmering Bliss and the Ice Cream Cone was colored with Copic Markers.
