From the Artistic Effects CD

Hello everyone, I am back with two lovely techniques from the Technique Junkie Artistic Effects CD. There are 40 techniques on the CD using Gelatos, Goosebumps, Gesso, Distress Stains, and Resist  Sprays.you can purchase the CD here.

My first card uses the Gesso Frames Tutorial

This is a very simple technique with lovely results. It comes together in a flash and can be used as a last minute card for any occasion.

The stamp is Palm Frond from TJ #SD292

 

My second card uses the Gelatos Rub technique also from the Artistic Effects CD.

 

 I must say that I had a lot of fun with this technique. I like getting a bit messy I think. This card uses a panel stamp from TJ which I am unable to give you the details about.  (for some strange reason I get an error message when trying to open page 3) Go to Panel stamps and you will find it there.

The sentiment stamp that is peeking through the sheer ribbon is from TJ #SS2a Simple Sentiments Set2, Style a.

You can find all of the TJ stamps here

That's all for now. Until I am back again....don't forget to get your fingers inky!

It's All About Stencils!

It's All About Stencils!

Jackie K here once again, I have made 2 cards and both techniques are from the Sensational Stencils CD. These are only 2 of the 40 techniques on the CD. It was difficult to choose the two I would do for this post. It's a wonderfully creative CD, and if you enjoy working with stencils you should seriously consider getting it.

You can purchase it here and if you are a Technique Junkie you can get 10% off by using the code TJ10


Let's get to my cards. LOL!

 This card uses the Background Stenciling Technique. This is a fun, fast, easy and effective technique suitable for any occasion.

This card uses the Pastel Stick Stencil Technique. Your possibilities are endless with this technique, limited only by your imagination!
There is no blue in my card. My computer is acting up and I'm lucky I have gotten this posted at all.
All stamps are Technique Junkie stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Until next time stay creative!

One of my favorite techniques!

 

 This background technique comes out different every time. I enjoy the unexpected outcome because although different, I have yet to be disappointed in the results!

This card is a perfect example of unexpected, to my eye it looks rather mysterious. You may notice that only on a rare occasion due I really embellish or pretty my card . It's perfectly logical to me because I prefer to highlight the technique as much as possible. Look at the card and see if it seems rather mysterious to you.

 

 

Try to ignore the black surrounding the card. It is only used as contrast because a white card fades into the background of the blog post.

So are you saying "enough already, tell me the technique?"

Well here it is :

 

BLEACH BLOCKING

from the Dec/2014 Technique Junkie newsletter.

 

Stamps used: #SD292 Palm Frond

Technique Junkies Sensational Stencils Blog Hop

 

 

The Technique Junkie Newsletter Design Team is back with another fantastic Blog Hop for you. Introducing the newest CD:

Sensational Stencils!

 

This newest CD from Technique Junkies has 40 tutorials!! The tutorials are all so much fun I couldn't stop creating so I have many examples for you.

You can get to the CD page from here where you can order it and click on the link at the bottom to see a pictorial of the techniques! 

 

 

You should have arrived here from Jane's Blog and I am certain you have enjoyed her fabulous cards. The first two cards I am showcasing use the Layered Stencil technique.

 

 

Same technique, two completely different cards! The possibilities are endless! I could have done pages of this technique as it is fun and really highlights the stamps you use. All stamps on both cards are from Technique Junkies !!!

 

 

 

This card was made using the Masked Stencil Technique and once again all the stamps are from Technique Junkies stamp line. This card seems so joyful to me and the stenciled strip on the side adds just the right touch. I like this technique as it leaves you space for a message, design or anything else you may want to add to compliment your stenciled strip.

 

 

 

Lastly, this card uses the Distressed Removal technique. Let me tell you, this technique is so much fun! For the lighter daisies, I just left the water on a lot longer and rewet it a few times. I really love this card and once more all Technique Junkie stamps were used!

 

I hope you have enjoyed my card samples from the new Sensational Stencils CD. They were so much fun to create.

Catching Up Part Two

Well it's been longer than I had hoped for this second installment of Catching Up to be published.
It has been a long very hot summer here in the Arizona desert, and it causes severe fatigue because of my MS. Enough of that. Let's get to the cards!!
