October’s Technique Tuesday Stamping Tech Blog Hop!

Hello!

Welcome to October’s Technique Tuesday Stamping Tech Blog Hop!

It’s the time of year to give thanks to the important people in our lives. So this month, the Stamping Techs want to share with you some fabulous thank you cards.

I made a set of Thank You cards:

I have a few  Distressed Inks that I have not used.  And I also just got the Technique Tuesday Two Steppin' Mini.  (Only $2.99!!!)  So these cards started by just inking these flowers to see how they looked and to try the ink.  That is how I decided on the color scheme.  I found papers to match from the older Basic Grey line called Mellow.  Lots of fussy cutting...  but I'm weird and love doing that!  :)  Flowers were finished off with some brown pearl paint in the centers.  

Also used This Life by Ali Edwards and A Million and One by Ali Edwards.

CAS-ual Fridays

Hello!  I am playing along for MY FIRST TIME in the CAS-ual Fridays clean and simple challenge!!  The challenge is to add COLOR to our stamped image.

Here is my card:

I used Paper Smooches Halloweenies stamp set.  Such fun images...  I just LOOOVE this monster!!  I stamped him on watercolor cardstock with Stazon Ink.  I used ink from my inkpads with a blender pen to color him.  I embossed the yellow background with an embossing folder from Sizzix, then inked the raised image with craft white ink from SU.  Patterned paper is from Little Yellow Bicycle.  It is a leftover scrap I had from a layout I did last year.  Yay, I'm glad I saved it!  :)  I cut the scallop border with a QuicKuts die.

Thanks for stopping in today!!

IC307 Thinking of You

Hello!  I am sharing a card that I made for today's Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

My inspiration was THIS PLATE from Liberty.  I made a stencil from one of my nestie dies, then sponged the ink on the center of my white cardstock.  I used the stamp sets Growing Wild and Dream Big from Technique Tuesday.  I bent the flower stems on my acrylic block, because I wanted the flowers flowing toward the right.

Hey Cute Ghoul

Hi There!

I combined the CC344 Color Challenge and the SC344 Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers to make this card:

I won this adorable stamp set Halloweenies from Paper Smooches during their blog hop last month!  So exciting!  The fence was punched with the Modern Label punch from SU.  The house was made using the Cricut Hoot and Holler cartridge and the door was a tag punch.

SC353 Sketch Challenge

Hello!  Wow, two challenges two days in a row!  Go me!  :)

I made this card for the SC353 Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

I heat embossed 4 layers of gold embossing powder on a square Technique Tile from Technique Tuesday.  While the embossing was still hot, I stamped the car image using black StazOn ink, making sure to press hard into the heated embossing powder.  I did the same for the measurement border along the bottom of the tile.  Technique Tuesday stamp sets used:  All Aboard, Measure Up, and Vino.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CC343 Color Challenge

Hello!  I decided to make a quick card for today's CC343 Color Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.

Colors:
Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, and Soft Suede

I stamped and heat embossed the image from Technique Tuesday's I Pick You set onto one of Technique Tuesday's Technique Tiles.  (kinda like chipboard...  but better!)  Then I did the emboss resist technique, by sponging the colors around the image.  Added patterned paper with sentiment on bottom of tile, and finished it off with a simple ribbon.  Quick!!

TFL!!
