Technique of The Week - Layered Portions

Happy Sunday Junkies, Tricia here with this weeks Technique of the Week.

The April edition is out and it is FABULOUS...thanks Pat!

The technique of the week is Layered Portions.  This is sooo easy and fun to do ...hope you will join the design team and show off your creations!

I did my project with a little twist.  My rose is actually a digi stamp from Aurora Wings. I colored it with copics.  The french script is a stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms.  The sentiment is from Gina K Designs (I screwed it up so I re-stamped and mounted it.

This is actually not a card, I am going to frame it and give it to my friends' mom.

I hope you have a great day!

Aged Text Boards

Hello folks.  Today I'm sharing my card from the April issue of the Newsletter.  This technique is called Aged Text Boards, and is one of my favourite techniques.  I didn't have any pages from a book to use for this technique so I went to the library and bought a book for 50 cents from their sale table.  I'll bet your library does the same thing and recommend you check it out.  Can't beat the price!

I don't think it's a secret that I love sunflowers and couldn't resist using my image from Impression Obsession, one of our sponsors.

I surrounded my image with a die from My Favorite Things.

Hope you have a great day!

Rounded Squares by Judy Jackson

This is Judy Jackson greeting you today. I have been stamping even though you may not have seen much activity from me.  I have been busy creating cards with the new Technique Junkie Stamps.  Don't new stamps always give you new "mojo" for stamping?  They do me!

So this Easter card uses all Technique Junkie stamps. http://www.stampcamp.com/index.html

This is such a wonderful little set of eggs -  they remind me of the decorative eggs from Romania where our daughter and hubby are missionaries.

This technique is from the February March TJ newsletter. 

Have a wonderful stamping day!

Holly Brown: Rounded Squares Cowboy

Hi Junkies, it's Holly posting today.  Our Technique of the Week is the Rounded Squares technique from the current issue (Feb 2014), and I've gone for a rustic look for my card today.  I used stamps from About Art Accents/Art Neko (the cowboy and the sentiment), one of our wonderful vendors here at Technique Junkies.  I colored the cowboy with Copic markers and I used a rustic wooden button in the center of the squares.  The star is from one of the stamps in my stash (Deadbeat Designs) and I thought it went nicely with the cowboy.

Give this Rounded Squares technique a shot.  It's really fun and easy!

 As Einstein says, "Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world". So, inspired by this quote and the Technique of the week, Rounded Squares, I came up with a card:

I had to make this fun card for my sister- she is a Patent attorney but her undergrad was in Physics : )  All images are from Technique Junkies Stamps. I used SU Choc Chip and Cherry Cobbler cardstock and ink. I also added a touch of shimmer using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

 FYI- did you know there is an Einstein Memorial in Washington DC?  We had to go visit there when we went to DC.

Have a great day!

Diagonal Images Backgound: Trees

Here is another take on the diagonal images background

technique with Club Scrap Trees stamps,because today

there is a blog hop of this March kit. You can start hopping

from the Club Scrap Create Blog HERE.

For this card I used a rectegular background

stamp and light green ink and decorated that stamp

with leaves in dark green ink.

So you see you can even do this technique without

 a stamp with all lines around it. You find this technique 

Feb/March 2014 issue.

Of course I could not trow away the cut offs

and used them to decorate the inside of the card.

Happy Spring

and a creative day!
