Today and Tomorrow!

I have a collection of unfinished backgrounds for cards.  This was one of them. I added Nuvo drops in a variety of colors and smoothed over the embossed areas.  

The verse is from Technique Junkies stamp set Anniversary Set of 7.  The daisies are from Technique Junkies Vintage Floral Collage.

Pat Huntoon is offering another "free with purchase" stamp for all orders over $30.00 after any discounts, taxes, and shipping charges. It is called  "I like to Party." It is a fun stamp for sure.

Bloom With Happiness

The beautiful Lilacs background stamp is the focal point of this card.  The greeting is  from In Full Bloom Sentiments.  The image was stamped on smooth cold press water color paper.  I used markers and a water brush to spread the ink in water coloring. The greeting was heat embossed and sponged with dye based inks for added color.

Inchies! Inchies!

Three different Technique Junkies floral stamps were used for this card:

Dahlias

Lilacs Background 

And Floral Border.

I used a inch square die to cut out the different sections. The flowers are water colored. Sequins were adhered with tiny dots of glue for added textural interest.

The lovely red poppies are so lovely!  The Poppy Field stamp was painted with Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss which had been sprayed first on a non-porous surface.  The greeting Fiesta was embossed and sponged with yellow and red dye based inks.

Happy Easter

 I always make and send Christmas cards.  I send hand stamped birthday cards to family.  And I try to send a few cards out at other holidays but not very many. I have sent 6 Easter cards this year. The focal part is a cross die. Everything else is from Technique Junkies.  I used 3 Colorful Life Stencils, two shades of Shimmering Bliss, 2 shades of Nuvo Embellishment Mousse, and of the Happy Easter stamp. I used coordinating bits of bling here and there on the cards.

I used Vivid Volt and Thulian Pink Shimmering Bliss Sprays.  I used Lilac Lavender and Citrus Green Nuvo Embellishment Mousse.  The three A Colorful Life Stencils were Circle Mosaic Stencil,  Scribble Roses Stencil, and Primitive Batik stencil from A Colorful Life Stencils.


I lay the stencil down over white card stock and sprayed the green towards the bottom and the purplish color towards the top. Before removing the stencil I lay a second piece of white card stock on the stencil to absorb the extra ink pooling on top of the stencil.   I removed the stencil and wiped it clean.   I allowed each piece of card stock to dry.  Then I used a stiff stencil brush and used the coordinating colors of mousse to fill in the "white" spaces on the card stock left by the stencil.

I stacked two of the die cut crosses to add more dimension to this focal part of the card.  The Easter cards were mailed out on Saturday, April 13.

Doily Cards

These two cards were created with a technique shown by Pat Huntoon on Friday, March 15, 2019 - Inkspirations.   I created  layers and used two different greetings stamps for two different cards. The greeting on the green card is from Anniversary Set-of-7 and the free with purchase stamp for March called Wildly Capable. I used the Nuvo Embellishment Mousse as described in her post.  I used the same Lace Doily Stencil from A Colorful Life Stencils.

Pat Huntoon is offering another "free with purchase" stamp for all orders over $30.00 after any discounts, taxes, and shipping charges. It is called  "I like to Party." It is a fun stamp for sure.

Hello Summer!

This beautiful Poppy Field stamp   was painted with Twinkling H2Os.  The background is sponged with dye based ink.  The greeting is die cut and adhered.

A Nice Day!

This four panel card card is really an illusion.  I measured and drew two intersecting light pencil lines. Then I masked off each section with sticky notes.  Each exposed panel was stamped with Dahlias.  They were colored with my Copic markers.  I used a black marker and ruler to make the intersecting black lines.  I die cut the greeting  and adhered it.  I used an embossing folder on shiny silver  card stock, and colored it with a Copic marker.  Then it was die cut and adhered.

Live Life!

I used Floral Border  and In Full Bloom Sentiments to create this card.  I stamped the Floral Border stamp a second time to create a shadow under the verse.  The flowers were water colored. 

And as always the new Technique Junkies stamps are 15% through April 8 - which is today! Make sure you finish shopping soon!

Happy Anniversary

This card was made with two Technique Junkies stamps Dahlias and  Anniversary Set of 7 .  After stamping and coloring with Copic markers I used an oval die and cut out the middle.  I wanted it as a part of the design element and did not want to pop it up. So I carefully added adhesive to all of the back and adhered it to  my  layered  card panel. 

Then I heat embossed the greeting on colored vellum and adhered to the front of the card.

Fiesta!

I used two Technique Junkies stamps to create this card.  I used Rain Dance and Fiesta..   Both stamp images were heat embossed with black embossing powder.  I spritzed a light touch of some of the delicious Technique Junkies Simmering Bliss spray in Dragons Blood.  The Fiesta panel was sponged with dye based inks.

My background paper is not really background paper.  It is part of a beautiful shopping bag from a store and I couldn't just throw it away.

Happy Happy April 1st! No Joke -- NEW Stamps for You!

I strongly dislike -- perhaps even hate- winter.  When I was much younger i loved it when it snowed.  But most of my childhood and teen years  were spent in the southern half of our country.  My dad was in the army and we lived all over.  Most of that time we did not have much snow at all where we lived.  Then I married a wonderful man from Rochester, NY.  That is Upstate New York.  That is next to Lake Ontario. The first winter we lived there it snowed, and snowed, and snowed.  I do not believe in all of the years prior too that I had ever seen that much snow.  Ever! That winter we had three blizzards with accumulation of 20 inches or more each blizzard.  Schools were closed, and closed, AND closed.  And yet we continued to live there.  And we lived in New York State for the next 33 years!  By that time I was sick of snow and cold and ice.  We  retired and moved to southern Pennsylvania near family.  We still had snow but not like Upstate New York.  Later we decided to winter in Florida where winter is much better.  So I am glad for April with its promise of Spring and sunny warm days.  And I am glad for new April stamps -- and those full of flowers.  

And as always the new Technique Junkies stamps are 15% through April 8! Make sure you go shopping soon! 

The April Release Technique Junkies Stamps blog hop starts with the Design Team blog and Jeanne Streiff heading it up!

My first card used the new stamp Floral Border 2 and a  verse from Anniversary Set - Set of 7.  I used cold press water color and heat embossed both the verse and the floral stamp which was stamped three times.  I used dye based markers and a water brush.  Then I sponged on a light yellow color. 

While we lived in Rochester, NY they had their annual lilac festival every year.  I love lilacs.  Then my hubby learned he was allergic to them - so none for our yard.  I used the  Lilacs background stamp and a different verse from the Anniversary Set - Set of 7.  I used Twinkling H2Os to apint the leaves and flowers.  After that was dry I sponged on ink for the sky. 

 My last card features the adorable stamp "I Like to Party." It is the free any $30 purchase (before taxes and shipping) during the month of April.  And come May it will be available for purchase but why wait?  You can get it now!! I wanted to make this card use a bunch of crafting stuff.  I used background paper, A Colorful Life Stencils, TJ Shimmering Bliss sprays, glitter tape (mine is not TJ), and Art Nuvo drops.
