Be Bold, Be Brilliant, Be You

 Hello Crafty Friends - 

Today's design uses the November new release stamp set Vintage Script Collage paired with the Typewriter Set. Check out how this card came together by following the instructions below. 

  1. I began by cutting a mat out of gold foil card stock. 
  2. I stamped the Vintage Script Collage in black ink on white card stock. 
  3. The images were colored using Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers .
  4. I stamped the typewriter on white card stock and fussy cut it out. 
  5. I stamped the sentiment "Be Bold, Be Brilliant, Be You" in Versamark and heat embossed it in gold. 
  6. I put all the layers of the card front together then used 3-D foam tape to pop up the typewriter. I added gold thread behind the paper of the typewriter and there you have it. A quick and simple card. 
How pretty is this butterfly!! I am a lover of all things butterflies. 

I like the look of the roses. Antique Pink and Green go so well together.

Have a Merry Berry Christmas

Deb here with two of the November Release stamps - Christmas Berry Bouquet  and Scripted Merry Christmas . I think these work so well together and this card was finished in less than 30 minutes ! It's always nice when you are able to sit down and create a card that seems effortless .




  • I stamped the Christmas Berry Bouquet with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a piece of cream cardstock.
  • The image was colored with my COPICS and Flair pens.
  • The sentiment was stamped below the bouquet with Lady Bug Memento ink.
  • I adhered a piece of holly patterned paper to a white card base. 
  • The completed stamped panel was trimmed and adhered on the right side of the card base, leaving a strip of the patterned paper showing on the left side.
  • A thin strip of red textured cardstock  was adhered along the left edge of the stamped panel.

Trying to get into the Holiday Spirit





Hello TJ Crafters!

Are you trying to get into the Holiday Spirit?  Me too.
And there's obviously more than one way to do that (wink)!

On this card I made it pretty fast and pretty funny! 
I paired the new #SD1277 The Bottle Won't Open with the funny By Us ladies.


To create this fun and quick card you'll need:

Blank A2 card (1/2 piece of white card stock folded in half)
Red, green and black ink pads
Red and green markers
Optional:  red glitter and glue

1) I used a stamping platform and lined up my "The bottle won't open" stamp so it would stamp about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch down from the top of the card.  You can eyeball it.

2) Next I applied the green ink pad to the top portion of this stamp then stamped it. If it needs to be darker - apply more ink and stamp again.

3) Now apply the red ink pad to the lower portion of the sentiment stamp.  Re-ink and stamp again if you need it darker.

4) Remove that stamp from your stamping platform and line up your By Us stamp.  Ink it up with black and stamp it below the words. As you can see in the example below you'll stamp it close to the sentiment.

Last - color your holly berries and leaves - and snazz up those ladies with color and glitter.

Beary Fun

Hi Junkies!  (Chris here)

Again, I'm in love with this realistic style stamp from Technique Junkies.   This bear is amazing.  I wanted to create a scene where he was walking in the woods.   I used an embossing folder to create the trees.  On the debossed side of the paper I carefully stamped the bear.  It gives the illusion that the bear is behind the trees.   I added some blue ink and glitter to create a wintery feel.   I felt like it still needed something...so I splattered silver sparkle watercolor all over to create a snow storm.   I'm so glad I did.  The card has the perfect amount of sparkle. 

Don't forget to scroll down and see the bonus card.   After making a winter scene, I wanted to make a summery one too. Which one do you like better?
