Gone Fishing | Jumping Fish Father's Day Card

 


Hello everyone and welcome to the last Saturday in March.  This year is just flying by.  Well, tomorrow is Easter and before you know it, it's going to be Father's Day.  Do you have a dad who loves to fish?  This card might be perfect for him.  

  • I started with a top-folding A2 card base using a navy bluish cardstock.  
  • I die-cut a piece of scrapbook paper with a light wave design on it using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die.
  • Then I embossed it using the Waves 3D Embossing Folder from Memory Box and adhered it to the card front.
  • I stamped Jumping Fish Linograph on a piece of white cardstock and then used a cloud stencil and blue ink to make the sky behind the fish.
  • I adhered this to a piece of the same blue cardstock and then to the card front. 
  • Lastly, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with the same 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, stamped Happy Father's Day, and adhered this to the inside of the card. 

All you need to do is write a message.  

I hope you have enjoyed this fast Father's Day Card idea and I want to thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Sunshine


 We all know people who make us feel good just by being in their presence.  I love the new Feel Like Sunshine stamp which truly describes that gift.  I used a sunburst die and some yellow gingham DSP to convey the warmth and cheerfulness of the sentiment.  Get this and all the great new stamps at TechniqueJunkies.com and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!  Have a great day!

A Close Knit Family

 

I AM super lucky to have a close knit family!

On the inside it reads, “In another city!”

I am in Colorado and they’re in Ohio🤣

I do wish we lived close…I promise.



I stamped the Flower Sweep (new this month) on a fun piece of designer paper and painted with shimmering watercolors. Matted with a piece of turquoise card stock and on white card base. The sentiment is from the new Inside Out: No Good Advice and was diecut with a stitched die and put on dimensionals.

Head on over and do some shopping! Use my code TJ10Pam 

A quick shout out that the next release is on April15th.

Quick & Simple Card

 Hello Crafters - 

Are you ready to create a fun quick and simple card? Todays card is featuring the Faith Requires Trust and Butterfly4 stamps. 

I began by stamping the Faith Requires Trust in the center of the white card stock. The butterfly stamp was randomly stamped along the top and bottom of the white card stock. To add color I took a few ink cubes I and randomly stamped them along the top and bottom of the card stock directly stamping on the butterflies. 
I added gold glitter gems to the heads of the butterflies. It really was quick and simple and made for a beautiful card! 

I hope you were inspired and use your TJ stamps to create something similar using this technique. Use TJ10Shalana at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Layered Collage with an Asian Flair

Asian-inspired_Antique_Bookplate_-_phuntoon__96558 image

This card tutorial uses just 4 stamps to create a stunning Asian Inspired Antique Bookplate. We have so many stamps in the Technique Junkies line that I would bet most people have never noticed - I am taking a deep dive this week into our stamp archives for this combination! Best of all, It is a card that comes together quickly, too.


The kit of the 4 stamps used saves you 20%, but all of the stamps in the kit may be purchased individually, too. Everything is here:

Just a gentle reminder...

The next stamp release will be April 15th (Not on the 1st). Mark your calendars!

Old World Script

Deb here with a different take on the Old World Script stamp from the Technique Junkies March Release.  It's a wonderful script that I decided to stamp and then cut into hearts for a fun slimline card .. 



  • I stamped the Old World Script image with Nautical Blue Memento ink onto a piece of blue wood-grain patterned paper .
  • The  hearts were punched with a paper-punch .
  • I made a slimline card base from a piece of blue and white striped patterned paper.
  • I used nautical-themed stickers from Paper House Productions on the card base .
  • I placed 3 Old World Script hearts down the middle of the slimline card using foam tabs.

Thank you for stopping by to see my latest card from the March Release .  Remember to use my code - TJ10Deb - when you shop at Technique Junkies . It will save you 10% on your order .  I hope you are enjoying some wonderful Spring weather wherever you are ..Until next time, Happy Stamping !!
