Check out all of the new release stamps here: techniquejunkies.com/july-2022-new-stamp-release/

To create my cards I used Catherine Pooler Inks in these colors: Pucker Up, Catching Rays and Chiffon. I masked a column off to the left side of my card stock and ink blended using foam domed blending tools. I then removed the mask and stamped the Field Flowers on top using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. I then stamped the sentiment in the white space using the same Nocturne Ink.  I used a Torn Edge Rectangle Die to trim the panel and adhered one to a yellow card base and another to an orange card base.

Blooming Wildflowers - Technique Junkies

Hello!  Tracy Shultz, the Hopeful Crafter, here with a bright and beautiful card today! I paired the gorgeous new stamp Blooming Wildflowers with a beautiful scripty sentiment from the previously released In Full Bloom Sentiments, Set of 6 available at: https://techniquejunkies.com/  Save 10% off your order with my coupon code: TJ10Tracy

To start, I heat embossed the beautiful Blooming Wildflowers background stamp with black embossing powder. I also heat embossed the "Life Life in full Bloom" sentiment with black embossing powder. I then used Catherine Pooler inks to ink blend the embossed panels. Technique Junkies has a large selection of Catherine Pooler inks: https://techniquejunkies.com/catherine-pooler-ink/?sort=featured&page=2  I used the following colors (from top to bottom): Chiffon, Catching Rays and Pucker Up.  You can also use: Limoncello, Tiki Torch and Rouge to get a similar effect (yellow, orange and pink inks). Next I used my favorite stitched rectangle dies to die cut the ink blended background and the ink blended sentiment. I adhered the background panel to a black A2 card base. I used a stitched rectangle die again to create a black mat and placed that behind the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment and the mat to the background and the card is ready to go out in the mail! In case you missed the new release (April 2022), here is a photo:

A Colorful Life Designs Graduation Card

I created this card using the Graduate Row and the Scribble Sphere Stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. I also used sentiments from the "Congrats Grad" stamp set by A. Jillian Vance Designs.

The stencils are part of the new release from A Colorful Life Designs: https://shrsl.com/3gvo3

To create my card, I first used Catherine Pooler Inks (Pucker Up, Catching Rays, Chiffon, Lime Rickey and Cummerbund) to blend the Graduate Row stencil. Using the complimentary mask that comes with the stencil, I covered the graduates in a row to protect them from my next step. I used a foam domed blender tool to ink blend with Catherine Pooler Ink (Serenade) over the Scribble Sphere stencil.

I finished my card by die cutting the panel with the Big and Little Chain Reaction Die by Gina Marie Designs  I then adhered all the layers to an A2 card base created using black card stock.

Zen Edges: Rainbow.

Hello. I am sharing two colorful cards with you today that were created with Technique Junkies stamps. The new Zen Edges stamp set is highly versatile and so bold! You can purchase the stamp set here: https://techniquejunkies.com/zen-edges/  Don't forget to use my code: TJ10Tracy to save 10% off your order!

For my first card, I used a piece of 4.25" x 5.5"Accent Opaque card stock and heat embossed the edges with the edges positioned at the top and the bottom. I used black embossing powder. After embossing the flourishing Zen Edges, I ink blended a rainbow using Catherine Pooler Inks. I started from top to bottom using foam domed blending tools. The colors that I used were:

1. Pucker Up
2. Catching Rays
3.  Chiffon
4. In the Park
5. Cummerbund
6. Serenade

Next, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and, using Versafine Claire Nocturne Ink, stamped the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the Technique Junkies Inside Out Young at Heart Stamp set: https://techniquejunkies.com/inside-out-young-at-heart-set-of-10/   Finally, I adhered the panel to a black A2 card base and applied rainbow colored gems to the flourish at the bottom of the panel.  

 

For my second card, I used a piece of 4.25" x 5.5"Accent Opaque card stock. I positioned the Zen Edges in the middle of the card panel, leaving a space between the two. I heat embossed the stamped images with black embossing powder. I then ink blended the panel with my foam domed blending tools. I blended at a diagonal angle, using Distressed Oxide Inks in the following colors:

1. Picked Raspberries
2. Mustard Seed
3. Twisted Citron
4. Lucky Clover
5.  Prize Ribbon

I heat embossed the sentiment I believe in You, https://techniquejunkies.com/i-believe-in-you/ from the new release for March 2022. I sprinkled a bit of water on panel, dried it with my heat panel, then sprayed Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Spray https://techniquejunkies.com/dazzle-shimmering-bliss-topper/ on top the panel. After the panel dried I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the panel down to 4" x 5.25" and adhered the panel to a black A2 card base.

Forest Buffalo Ink Blending with Catherine Pooler Inks

Hello!  It's new release time at Technique Junkies. The new release stamps can be purchased at 15% discount until Nov. 8, 2021. The 15% is automatically reduced for you and you can use my code TJ10Tracy for 10% off the rest of your cart at Technique Junkies: https://www.techniquejunkies.com

To create my cards I used the new Forest Buffalo Stamp and Catherine Pooler Inks to ink blend my backgrounds. The Catherine Pooler inks blend like a dream! They are now available for sale at Technique Junkies!

I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the ink blended panels. I then created embossed sentiments using the Dream, Hope, Wish and Wonder, set of four stamps (SDX018). To finish my cards I mounted them to black A2 landscape card bases. 

These cards were quick and easy to create thanks to the beautiful buffalo silhouette and the vibrant Catherine Pooler Inks. They can be used for any occasion!
