Weekly Giveaway: Firecracker Designs by Pamela

I am pleased that today's giveaway sponsor is Firecracker Designs by Pamela. Pamela has been a very-long-time supporter of the newsletter, and I am grateful to have her as a sponsor and contributor! A big "Shout-out" to you, Pamela!

The card above uses a couple of the images from the Heritage Ladies stamp set that is being offered for today's giveaway. I used the Sanded Core-dinations Technique from the April 2010 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter for the area behind the image, and cut around the diamonds to give it some added interest. It loses something in this picture...it is much more whimsical in real life!

Speaking of whimsy, I love a good Tongue-in-cheek stamp. That is why I love the stamps on the rubber sheet from Firecracker Designs by Pamela this week. That Adultery stamp just cracks me up! The cool thing is that this set of stamps can be used as Heritage stamps OR in a more whimsical fashion. I think that is pretty cool! Today we are giving away the Heritage Ladies sheet of rubber from FDBP:



Did you know that FCD now carries both rubber and digital stamps? You can buy both in the same FCD store using the same shopping cart! To see the digital designs, just click on the digital link here. You can even click by designer to see your favorite artist's digi designs. We  have two new rubber sets to play with:  Forever and Always,&  Lucky in Love, and we now carry Twinklng H2O's. Don't forget you can use the TJ coupon to save 10% off your order. (coupon code: ILOVETJS)

To enter this giveaway for the stamps and the card, simply leave a message on this post and let me know which of these stamps are your favorite on the sheet. Make sure to leave me enough information so that I can contact you if your name is chosen by my random number generator on Monday, May 2nd. You may want to format it something like this: p huntoon at optonline dot net for phuntoon@optonline.net.  You do NOT need to be a Technique Junkie to win this giveaway. good luck!

Congratulations to Niki Winchell, the winner of this stamp set and card!

Phresh Fish anyone? That is Phresh, with a PH, because these fish from Firecracker Designs by Pamela are Sassy!

The card I made from the stamp sheet below uses a Cuttlebug Highlight Background (October 2008 Technique Junkie Newsletter) as a base for my Fish (which was colored with Copic Markers).

One of the best reasons to send a card to someone is to beg forgiveness. That is why this week's giveaway is so wonderful -- the sayings on this stamp sheet from Firecracker Designs by Pamela are great!

What is more elegant than a swan? Today's giveaway is this gorgeous swan set from Firecracker Designs by Pamela called "Bummed Out". This is features the pretty swan shown in the card above, plus 3 other swans, plus reeds and sea grass, and a poem, too. I chose to make a card from it that uses the main swan and the reeds layered over a piece of Pigment Scrunch, a technique found in the February 2009 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I colored my swan panel using Shimmerz -- I love the gently shimmer on the swan. There is a picture on the right so that you can see it better.

BC-83: Torn Firecracker Frame

0 comments
I haven't had an opportunity to play in a Blogger's Challenge for a long time, so I was thrilled to be able to jump in this week.

The challenge was to use Black, Red, Kiwi and White in our creations. The poppy and saying stamps are from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. That panel is on a Torn Frame, a technique from the December 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter.



The black Stampin' Up! paisley background was stamped with VersaMark then brushed with Pearl Ex to give it some shimmer.
It feels good to be back!

Technique Blitz: Pearlized Gesso

0 comments
You know how some stamps just "speak" to you?

These stamps from Firecraker Designs by Pamela do that for me. I always feel such a great sense of relaxed serenity when I use these stamp. I know it kind of sounds silly to say it out loud, but these stamps just have that effect on me!

In any case, this card for the Technique Blitz uses the Pearlized Gesso Technique from the August 2008 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter.

These are appropriate stamps for today because I am on vacation (yes again!), This time we are at the beach with DH's family on Cape Cod. This is a vacation that I look forward to every year -- beach, sun, family...relaxation. Couldn't be better!

Valerie is in my office this week, though, and I do have an internet connection this time, so email me if you need to...and have a great week.

The Technique Blitz shall go on!

Wonderful Wednesday Giveaway -- Firecracker Designs by Pamela

I have another sneak preview today for the Technique Blitz, using these wonderful giveaway stamps from today's giveaway sponsor, Firecracker Designs by Pamela.


The sample card shown on the right uses a variety of techniques (what is the point of publishing over 400 of them if I don't use them, right?). First, and foremost, the "Dig It" tag uses the Glimmer Mist Technique from the soon-to-be-released CD 6th Edition (click for details -- pre-orders started this week). Sally, our garden girl, was colored using the Gamsol Pearls Technique from the June 2006 TJ Newsletter; she is standing in front of a fence that was colored using the Pencil-over-Ink Technique from the March 2005 issue. I layered all that on the green Simple Green Spritz background (April 2008 NL). THAT is layered on top of a Painted Pigments background from the current August 2008 Newsletter.



Enough techniques for ya'? I think I counted 5. Whew.




The set I took all these wonderful stamps from is our giveaway set (on the left). These fun stamps from Firecracker Designs by Pamela gave me a ton of options! I even made those two little Glimmer Mist Tags in front of the card -- those will be given to the giveaway winner, too.




Of course, Pamela has alot going on, too!
