The One that Got Away

 

Hello TJ Friends!

Today I'm sharing the new Jumping fish linograph stamp on a square card.

If you haven't tried something like this I hope you'll step outside your comfort zone, just a bit, and give this simple card technique a try. 

Supplies needed:

Jumping fish linograph stamp

Tree branch silhouette background stamp

3 square cards (I cut mine from card stock) 10 x5 scored

3 different colors of card stock. I usedd blue, green, yellow

Brown piece for the backing (mat)

Black ink

Optional black enamel dots

Optional foam

Adhesive

Paper cutter/Scissors

1)  Stamp the tree branch silhouette background stamp around the perimeter ( front) of the card base and set aside.

2)  Next - I started with 1/2 sheets of colored card stock and stamped (in black) the jumping fish stamp in the same place on each piece using a stamping platform.

3) Cut all three stamped pieces (at the same time) to 3 3/4 inches square (horizontal and vertical) and cut a brown piece to go behind that is slightly larger. *Be sure you have the image in the center as you are trimming it up.

4) Stack the 3 images on top of each other then cut them at 1.25" then 2.5.  That should leave you with 3 pieces the same size - each 1.25 "

5)  The FUN part...mix up the cut strips so each card will have 1 strip of each color and a piece that fits together.  A mini puzzle.

6) Add foam (optional) to the back of each strip and adhere to the brown piece. Then adhere that to your card base.  

7) Optional - add a few black enamel gems.  You're done!

Today is March 6th so that means there are 2 more days to snag this stamp and the rest of the release for 15% off!   Everything else is 10% off when you use discount code TJ10AJ.

Happy Crafting!

 Greetings Junkies!

This is a shout out to all those people who make others feel warm and fuzzy inside.   It is so much easier to tear people down and pick at their flaws.   This process doesn't make anyone better... it just brings people down.   I'm thankful for all the people who have built me up and helped increase my confidence.   It is because of them, that you are reading this blog post.  I probably wouldn't have been brave enough to be on a design team.   I hope your day is filled with sunshine!

The Creative Vortex of my mind

 

The background on this card is a new stamp from Technique Junkies called Zen Circles - it is a whole lotta funky fun! Today I colored it here and there with just three markers - then topped it off with the Happy Housewife and Distracted Stamps. The Zen Circles remind me of the dizzying vortex of my creative mind sometimes (hence the Distracted stamp). The Zen stamp is 15% off through March 8th, and all the stamps may be found here:

Faith Requires Trust | Easter Card

 

Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday.  With Easter right around the corner (March 31st) I wanted to share this card I made using the new Faith Requires Trust stamp, part of the March 2024 Stamp Release, and 15% off through Friday, March 8th. 

I wanted to make a very simple pastel-colored Easter card.  

• I made a top-folding A2 card using light green cardstock.
• I cut a piece of white cardstock, embossed it using the Framed Tulip Embossing Folder from Stampin Up, and adhered it to the green cardstock.  This is a retired embossing folder but you can still find them online to buy.  
• I die-cut a piece of light pink cardstock using a stitched rectangle die, which I adhered in the center of the embossed frame.  
• I stamped Faith Requires Trust on a piece of light yellow paper with white polka dots, trimmed it, and adhered it inside the pink cardstock.  
• To finish the card, I die-cut some leaves and flowers, adhered them on the top and bottom of the sentiment, and added a small crystal inside the flowers.

Done!

I hope you have enjoyed this card idea for Easter.  Don't forget that the new release sale ends on the 8th.  If you see anything else on the Technique Junkies website, other than the new release, you can save 10% at checkout by using my code - TJ10Michael. 

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.
