Batman Confidence

 

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  How about a Bat Signal to wake you up today?  LOL  I used the new Batman T-shirt stamp from Technique Junkies to create these two cards today.  Isn't that a great sentiment?

I went with the classic Bat Signal look for my first card up above.  I stamped the sentiment onto some yellow cardstock, cut it out with an oval die, and adhered it to a black card base.  

For my second card below, I glued down some blue, red, and yellow strips of cardstock to my black card base.  Then I stamped the Batman T-shirt sentiment onto white cardstock and trimmed it into a rectangular shape.  This is a great option if you don't have oval dies.

You can check out the April release stamps here.  Please feel free to use this code, TJ10Holly, to save 10% when you shop at Technique Junkies.  You can pick up this awesome Batman T-shirt stamp as well as my two new favorites, Blooming Wildflowers and In the Meadow.  Come on back next Tuesday (April 19) and I'll share a card I created with the In the Meadow stamp.  Have a great day!

Follow Your Heart

 For today's card I created a background on watercolor paper using Distress Oxides in Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, and Candy Apple along with a little Salvaged Patina and Some Lavinia ink in Mulberry for a vignette feature.  I laid each color down randomly in lines from light to dark then doused with water to blend the colors in.  I repeated this again to gain more intensity of color.  I then stamped the new In The Meadow #S960 with Versafine Clair in black.

I next created the vignette and added a bit more color using a light hand with the Distress Oxides in Spiced Marmalade. 

I stamped the Outside sentiment from the Inside Out: Size matters #SS139 Follow Your Heart and set the panel aside.

I grabbed a piece of Accent Opaque 80lb cardstock in white and stamped the inside sentiment ( Take Your Brain With You) also in the Versafine Clair in black and trimmed that down to 5 x 3 3/4 and attached it to the inside of a Kraft card base.  I glued the outside panel to the outside of the card base and our card was done!

Technique Junkies - Wisteria Background

Hello! Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter, here to share a card created with the new Wisteria Background Stamp. I also used The Dream, Hope, Wish, Wonder (set of 4) Stamp Set. All new stamps are 15% off through April 8.  Save 10% on everything else with my code: TJ10Tracy

I created my card using Catherine Pooler inks as watercolors. I die cut the panel with a loopy edge rectangle die. I also cut the background mat layer (using pattern paper) with the same die. I stamped the Hope, Wish, Dream and Wonder sentiments using Drive In Ink (Purple) by Catherine Pooler. Technique Junkies now carries Catherine Pooler Inks.

It’s an Inside Out day…Size Matters

Hey there! Today I am showcasing the new Inside Out, Size Matters. I just love this sentiment kit. The inside reads, “Nobody wants a small glass of wine.” I think it is so funny with this Primitive Fish stencil from ACLD. I used pink, sage and blue inks sponged onto the stencil. I sponged blue on the sentiment and then placed it on dimensionals. Easy, peasy and quick! Fun creation for a guy or gal.

All new releases are 15% off through April 8th.

Laugh with Wildflowers

Good morning!  It's Holly posting today.  I created this card using a scrap piece for the background.  I had done something for another card and there was some blue ink left over on my glass mat.  It was quite a bit, and I didn't want to waste it, so I smooshed some white cardstock down into it until it filled the paper.  I love how some areas are more white and some areas are more blue.

After this blue panel was completely dry, I stamped it with the gorgeous new Blooming Wildflowers stamp from Technique Junkies.  I used Versamark ink and some white embossing powder, and after I melted the powder with a heat tool, the wildflowers really popped out against the blue background.  It's so delicate and gorgeous.  I love this background stamp!

I used the Laugh sentiment from the Inside Out: Size Matters set (Technique Junkies) and stamped it with the same blue ink I used on the background.  To help it stand out a little bit, I added a scalloped circle behind the sentiment which was inked on the edges with the same blue ink as the sentiment.

All of the new April release stamps are on sale at 15% off through April 8, no code needed.  That includes both the Blooming Wildflowers and the Inside Out: Size Matters stamps that I've used today.  You can see all of the new April release stamps here.  

I love the soft and delicate look of this card.  This Blooming Wildflowers background stamp is my new favorite and I have a feeling I will be using this a lot.  :-)
