If you are beginning the blog hop with me - you can always go back to the beginning at the Design Team blog sight -- http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com/ . The blog just before my blog is http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com and I am sure Pat or Jane have something wonderful to share with you today.
I am going to show you several cards with new Technique Junkie stamps. First I will show you two Valentine's Day cards I created with a new Technique Junkie stamp. It is called "Love Hands." #SD660. The direct link is http://techniquejunkies.com/love-hands/. I also used Heart Frame - SS026 http://techniquejunkies.com/heart-frame-set-of-3/. I embossed dark pink card stock with an embossing folder with these cute candy hearts. I sponged extra color on each heart and I used a Stardust glitter pen to highlight each letter.
And some Valentines are created for good friends --and not the love of our life, or our kids or grand-kids. This is a Valentine that would serve that purpose. I also used these stamps Seeds of Today - SDX057 - http://techniquejunkies.com/seeds-of-today/ and Simple Sentiments 1b - http://techniquejunkies.com/simple-sentiments-1b/. The focal image and sentiment was layered on a nice large tag.
But then we also need birthday cards for family and for friends. I want to show you a new Technique Junkie stamp to help with the celebration of birthdays. It is called SD632 - Happy Birthday Advice. The direct link for this stamp is http://techniquejunkies.com/happy-birthday-advice/.
For this first card I used musical notes tissue paper over a white panel on which I sponged a lot of color. I used scallop oval dies to layer a die cut of a cupcake. I ran the cupcake die cut through my Xyron machine to get sticky adhesive on the top and the bottom. I added some extra glitter for the color in the cupcake. I wish you could see the shimmer! Some fun multi colored button ribbon behind the focal elements tie the card together.
I used a small embossing folder on dark green paper. I trimmed off the excess of the green. I pressed my Versamark pad on the embossed portions and used some shimmery embossing powder over that. More layers and some embellishments complete the card. I purposefully added two different lengths of the pearls (I had plenty) to give contrast and visual interest.
Now you are off to Karen McAlpine's blog at http://dreamingncreating.blogspot.com. There will be something delightful for you to see! Karen is a new designer on the Technique Junkie Design Team and I am sure what she has to show us is just terrific!
