Whoops

 Love this new stamp Whoop

(every time I read it I get that song stuck in my head - but that was Whoomp there it is LOL)

I used some scrap paper for the back design - splattered with some gold from my Pesca pen - then layered all together

Next up is another I made using the Overlapping leaves background 

With this one I embossed on some wordy paper and fussy cut out one leaf

Layered on top of the embossed background

Thought this was more of a masculine looking card - would be great for birthday wishes

Amazing Birthday

 The Technique Junkies Christmas Gnome set has a couple of perfect stamps for birthdays! I used one here with one of the sentiments from the Bold Birthday Wishes stamp set. The Big Numbers background, colored direct-to-stamp with different ink colors, is perfect for this birthday card, too. I hope YOU have an amazing day!

Strong Roots

 Are your roots strong? Luckily, mine are. Today's card uses the Bare Branches background with one of the sentiments from the Beautiful Trees Set. A little ink blending and a little layering makes for a stunning card. Both stamps from www.techniquejunkies.com

Feel Like Sunshine

 Hi Crafters - 

Today I am sharing a card I created with the Feel Like Sunshine and Butterfly Woman stamps. 

I took a patterned piece of paper and used a brown distress oxide to ink blend around the edges. I used an arches cutting die and cut out a piece of gold and white card stock. The white card stock was ink blended with distressed oxide and splattered with water. 

I colored the image with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out, added gold thread and popped it up with 3D foam tape. I added the lovely sentiment and a few gold gems to finish up the card. 

I hope you are inspired. Use TJ10Shalana at checkout. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

TJ Inkspirations: 2 Sizes Smaller Faux Shaker Card

 

2 Sizes Smaller Faux Shaker Card Today we have a quick tutorial for making a "Faux" Shaker Card. Why is it a Faux Shaker? Because we are not using any dimensionals when making it. Eliminating them allows the card to be made very easily. This is a card we make in our make and takes at Stamp shows, so I know that it can be made in 15 minutes with ease. And how can you resist that sentiment? There is a mini kit for the card, below and HERE, and the video is below the kit. Hope you love it! The video is HERE ( or click on the image below):

2 Sizes Smaller

Deb here with a fun card from the latest Technique Junkies release - 2 Sizes Smaller .I definitely wouldn't mind doing laundry if I could pop myself in the dryer and come out 2 sizes smaller !! How about you ?!?!?!

• The 2 Sizes Smaller image was stamped on white cardstock and die-cut with a Big and Little Chain Rectangle Die.
• I used  Nautical Blue Memento ink .
• The stamped panel was matted with a piece of blue cardstock.
• I adhered a piece of blue/white checkered patterned paper to a white card base.
• The matted/stamped panel was adhered to the card base with foam tabs.
• The scalloped border was die cut from blue cardstock and adhered at the top of the card . It is my favorite retired Tim Holtz/Sizzix On the Edge Scallops Die.
• I adhered some sky blue pearls across the scallops.

I hope you're enjoying the latest release and all of the fun inspiration from the team.Thanks for stopping by ..
