Good morning and happy hump day with Technique Junkies! Today I am showcasing the new release, Flying Butterflies Border. I stamped it on a piece of designer paper that was left on my desk. Next, I colored them in with a bit of red and then shook up my Shimmering Bliss in silver and poured into a palette and painted on the butterfly. I then added some black rhinestone flourishes. The sentiment is from the Typewriter Set. I stamped the sentiment on dp, too and then die cut with a fun circle and popped on dimensionals.

Head on over to the store for all your crafty needs and use my code TJ10Pam!

Spring is in the Air

 Good day to y'all

With this one I stamped it onto some acetate (with staz on ink)

dry embossed the backgrounds and added some threads

to finish it off.

 

Next up is the Spring sayings stamped onto a vellum jar shape

some raffia tied around the top.

Inserted some previous release flowers

Blooming Dandelions and Field Flowers which I have used

a ton of times !!!  (we are allowed to have favs right?)

The Cat Anchor

 Have you ever had a cat (or dog) on your lap, causing you to be paralyzed until they move? It happens to me every day.

Today I used a piece of patterned paper behind my cat. I was pleased to find paper in my stash with a chair printed on it - just perfect for the stamp! You may find that stamp here:

Spring and Sunshine for Easter

 What better day to celebrate spring than Easter Sunday? Today I used the Spring and Sunshine stamp as a focal image and glittered butterflies from the Flying Butterfly Border in the background. Happy Spring!

Both stamps are here:

Wishing you a day that Sparkles

What kind of cards come to mind when you read this sentiment?  "Wishing you a day that Sparkles"  

 I think I'd use it for Birthday, Cheering up, Thinking of you...even a Get well or Surprise...I was thinking of you today kind of card. It'd bring a smile to that person's face when they pulled it out of the envelope, don't ya think?

I used shimmering bliss, a piece of scrap glitter card stock and flashy gems to create this sparkly card.  

Stamps used: Wishing you a day that Sparkles and Delicate floral borders (set of 2).

Product used: Shimmering Bliss (Mermaid).

The new April release of stamps is 15% off through 4/8.

Everything else is 10% off using code TJ10AJ.

I hope you have a day that SPARKLES!
