Girls and glitter

My new stamps showcase for Technique Junkies today is a sentiment from Little Girls, set of 3. I love it when an unexpected creation comes together so quickly! I had this random piece of designer paper sitting in my scrap pile and I thought, "she needs a glitter dress and the Paris Hilton sentiment." I used alanine diamonds in 24 carat red on her dress. I applied it with a stiff brush. The background is dark brown and I embossed with a swirl folder. Quick, simple and should make someone smile!

Birthdays and Donuts

Hey Crafty Friends - 

What is better than Birthdays and Donuts seriously? Two of my favorites things wrapped into this one stamp set. I am excited to walk you through how I paired this stamp set with my scraps of fabric. 

 I used fabric I had on hand and adhered it to my card base with sticky adhesive sheets. I stamped the Birthdays and Donuts stamp set three different times. 

1. Stamp the sentiment in black ink and adhere to a black mat. 
2. Stamp the sentiment a second time in raspberry ink. Cut out the last line of the sentiment and adhere it with 3-D foam tape on top of the sentiment which was stamped in black ink. 
3. Stamp the sentiment a third time in black ink. Color the donuts and fussy cut them out. Adhere each donut with 3-D foam tape to give it dimension.

To finish up the card I add a few iridescent sequins.   

This is a fun stamp set to create with. Image all the color possibilities you could use to create a stash of Birthday cards. I hope you were inspired! Don't forget to use code TJ10Shalana at checkout for a discount. Happy Crafting and Thanks for Stopping By! 

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

Deb here with a quick card for some last minute holiday card sending !! I used the Mistletoe Background stamp to create an ATC coin and adhered it to my card base .. I did an ATC coin swap with a friend over the holidays and thought the designs would also  be great for some cards . You can always use removable tape to adhere the coins to your card base .

• The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
• I colored the image with my COPICS and then used a 2 1/2 inch paper punch to create the circle.
• I used Tim Holtz Christmas ephemera on the circle, leaving some of the Mistletoe background visible.
• The completed circle was adhered to a blue-green polka dot card base with foam tabs .

I'm finding that the large background stamps can be used is so many ways. I really enjoy making ATC cards and coins with them !! If you're doing some late Christmas shopping for yourself, be sure to use my code - TJ10Deb - for a 10% discount.

Until next time, Stay Creative

It’s Wine-O-Clock

Hello TJ Friends,

Cheers to the perfect pair ~ of stamps!

 Vintage botanical grapevine stamp and Wine O’clock stamp

Add a few purple gems for the hours on the clock, matte in black, add foam for dimension, finish with a purple card base and you’re done.

About the word “grapevine” stamped randomly in the background.  I cut that word off of the Vintage botanical grapevine stamp so I could use it independently. 

Inside sentiment suggestions:  Happy Birthday, Congratulations, You Did It!, Happy New Year

Don’t forget to use the TJ Design Team Coupon Code (TJ10AJ) if you decide to treat yourself to some end of  the year shopping!

Happy New Year!
