Never Walk {through} Thistle

Hello. Jeanette here. I'm one of the "newbies" this month. This is my first post on the TJ blog as a design team member. I'm so excited to be here. 

As a child I loved visiting my grandparents on their farm, but I quickly learned that one should never walk through thistle - well, not in flip flops anyway. Ouch! Not to worry, though. The BRAND NEW Thistle Border stamp from Technique Junkies is painless, but I would highly recommend you Never Walk Alone which is the name of another stamp in the new release.

Thistle Border:

The sentiment on this card is from the In Full Bloom Sentiments Stamp Set.

Never Walk Alone:

and for the four-legged kinds of friends...

Limit is the Sky

 My niece is graduating from college this week, and this card is meant to remind her that she can do anything. The Sky is the Limit!

This card uses the graduation cap from the Graduation set stamped multiple times in green, turquoise, purple and blue in the background, along with the Limit is the Sky stamp as the focal image. The Graduation Greetings, set of 11 is here:

Betty White was the perfect rose...

 

Betty White was blessed with a beautiful way to say the snarkiest things with the sweetest smile! Our Betty White Sentiments stamp set celebrates her as a woman and comedian.

The background of my card uses the Aladine Roses stencil with Catherine Pooler ink. After all, roses smell sweet but still have thorns - kind of like Betty White, right?

TJ Inkspiration: Demystifying Super-Detailed Rubber Stamps

 

Super-Detailed Demystification Super-detailed stamps can seem intimidating. Sometimes you can't help but look at them and think you have to apply color to every bit of the stamp. Today's video shows you how to use them in a more relaxed way. Adding just a few areas of color are a great way to make these stamps shine. We use ink and shimmer to color, so our version shimmers, too! If you like how I colored mine, I have some kits for you so you can save a little money if you are interested. The kits may be found HERE. The video is here ( or click on the image below):

Our Farewell Tour in Syracuse NY

 

Our last show in the Auburn/Syracuse area!

Our Farewell Show in Syracuse... We are sad to announce that our last time to exhibit at the Auburn/Syracuse NY show will be next weekend, May 19th and 20th. Please come by to shop and say hello! Although we love coming to the show, recent declines in attendance and sales in our booth have forced our decision - but we couldn't give up the show without one more visit. Show details are on the Too Much Fun Promotions Website: HERE

Although we won't be there next year, the show will still go on... While the decision to cut the show from our schedule next year is not an easy one, rest assured that the show will still go on without us in 2024. Please continue to support the show - or any show in your area - the vendors travel far and wide and EVERYONE appreciates your attendance and your business. Grab our "Show Special" in Syracuse next weekend - and online, too! We will be offering a FREE Stamp set of 6 for every $50.00 spent in our booth - or online! Watch your email next Thursday for details on picking and collecting your free exclusive set - you will have several to choose from. Until next week...

Our old friend, Betty!

Happy day, friends! Today I am showcasing the Betty White Sentiments set, set of 6. So easy to make a card that is sure to make someone smile!

I used a lavender piece of card stock and embossed it. Added a lovely strip of dp. Stamped the sentiment and Betty on white card stock and colored and sponged and distressed the sentiment a bit. Added some organza ribbon and heated it to distress it....Boom, we'll call it done!
