The Angels Declared



This was an idea in progress.   I wanted to blend the Nuvo Mousse in several colors for the background, and the focal image panel.  It took me a few times to get it to look the way I had it envisioned in my mind.  Does that ever happen to you?

I used A Colorful Life Medallion Fade Stencil and several shades of Nuvo Mousse.  There are so many wonderful shades of this mousse and it is so easy to work with.    You can watch Pat Huntoon's video on this wonderful product here.

I made this card a while ago but I "think" I used these colors: Citrus Green, Pacific Teal, and Royal-Aubergine

I stamped Technique Junkies The Greatest Story on a panel with black pigment ink and colored it with detail black embossing powder for the best coverage, and heat set it. Then I used the same stencil and the blue and purple Nuvo Mousse and only put the mousse on the outside edges.  I tied a ribbon around the layer and then used my heat gun to melt the ribbon a bit to "antique" it. 

I spritzed the top of everything with Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper spray.  What a wonderful shimmer this gives!

And now the last sales pitch for November.  You can use my special discount code TJ10Judy and get a 10% discount on everything you buy, specials, everything! 

I hope you have a wonderful day, and you have a chance to get inky!

Red and White Pines


To create this card I used  three Technique Junkies Stamps.  I use Fir Forest, All Is Calm, and Star Stream.   The stars and the trees were stamped with white pigment ink, anmd heat embossed with detail white embossing powder.  The verse was first inked with Versamark, and then with dye based red ink on  vellum.  I then covered it with detail clear embossing powder and heat set it all.  It was adhered with my Xyron machine.  I added the cardinal brad.  

The white card stock is 4 1/4  by 5 1/2 inches. The red card stock is 4 inches by 10 3/4 inches and scored in half.  I adhered it onto the white layer.  The inside greeting in on a small piece of white card stock so it can be read easily.  I then spritzed the top of the card with Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper.

Snowflake Triple Play


I used the Triple Play technique with this new TJ release set of Snowflakes with two colors of inks.  The verse Merry Christmas  is stamped with black Versafine ink and heat embossed with detail black embossing powder.  The bottom layer of is framed with red card stock. The other two layers are framed with red glitter paper.

A few black rhinestones on the center of the snowflakes embellish the card.  The base card is a creamy tan -- the same as the creamy tan ink for some of the snow flakes.  A gentle mist of  Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper spray finishes the card and is heat set.

Shimmering Bliss Panel


I had this die cut panel left over from another card project that I had made. Like most of the stampers I know, I try not to throw away perfectly good car stock unless it is too small to be used.  So I sprayed this panel with  green and dark blue Shimmering Bliss sprays.  I heat set it to dry. Then it was stamped with snowflakes from the Technique Junkies November Release Snowflakes.  I used white pigment ink and detail white embossing powder.  Detail or extra fine embossing powder is a must when you are stamping an image or words so the details will still be clearly visible.   Embossing powder spreads as it melts.

I also sprayed this panel with Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper spray.  It was adhered to the white card stock.  I had previously punched a lace border.  I cut a strip of navy blue card stock to adhere under it so the lacy details are more clearly visible.  It goes all the way top and the entire panel is layered on a A2 size white card base. 

The words are from Technique Junkies  Gifts of Christmas stamp set.  I inked the words with Versamark and then with navy blue ink.  Then I used clear detail embossing powder and heat set.

Window Pines


I used two  Technique Junkies stamps to create this card.  I used Fir Forest and Merry Christmas 2 which were stamped on a panel  and placed behind  die cut window.  The sky was sponged on it first.  The top layer is a panel dry embossed with a  snowflake embossing folder.   White pearls were added to the center of some of the snowflakes.  Dazzle Simmering Bliss spray was added to the top layer.

The words Merry Christmas were stamped with black Versafine ink and heat embossed  with detail black embossing powder.  

The bottom of this card is an A2 sized dark moss green piece of card stock.   The main part of the card is 4 inches by 11 1/4 inches.  It is scored in half and then after the card is ready to mount, it is adhered to the green card stock.  The inside greeting is stamped on the inside of the folded white card stock.

If Hugs Were Snowflakes

Even at Christmas time we all can use a hug!  So this verse is just fine for Christmas as well. The Technique Junkies Stamps I used for this card are Fir Forest and Snowflakes.    I used Dazzle Shimmering Bliss topper over the smaller panel with the trees to add a bit of delightful shimmer.   Dark brown and copper card stock were used as layers for this card.
