Check The Technic

I just love Simple and Easy Techniques -- they are so handy for making quick cards with oomph. This card is an example of the Patchwork Technique, one of the 30 techniques on the Simple and Easy Inking Techniques Remix CD.  The technique works really well with these bold stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, don't they? (Did you know that SNS gives a 10% discount to TJ subscribers using the code tjn2013?).

The Simple and Easy Inking Techniques Remix CD is a compilation of the easiest techniques, using the most basic of supplies, from the Technique Junkie Newsletter Archives. The CD is $9.95 and can be ordered on my blog sidebar or on this page:

Hope you enjoy your day!

This card was made using the Layered Color Collage -- one of the techniques from the new Simple and Easy Inking Techniques - Remix CD. the tutorial is one of the 30 on the CD for $9.95 (plus shipping). The CD shows you how to create stunning artwork using a minimum of supplies -- and as the name suggests, they are all easy techniques! It is a great CD to have in your arsenal when looking to create the wow factor quickly.

The card uses all Stampin' Up! stamps, inks and paper -- I love the color combo. It is so different and unique! It pops at ya' doesn't it?

I am so thrilled to be part of the first Club Scrap Blog Hop today! If you started at the Club Scrap blog, you are in the right place. If not, I urge you to take a moment to visit the Club Scrap blog -- not only to find out more about this hop, but to leave a comment for a great giveaway!

Today we are celebrating Club Scrap's February Kit: Up, Up and Away. If you have never experienced Club Scrap or Club Stamp, you are missing out on gorgeous paper, stamps and embellishments at a terrific value. This kit is no exception! I received my first kit in June 2002 and have been enamored ever since.

For today, I made three cards from the stamps and paper from the Up, Up and Away kit. I used the same focal image for all three cards -- I was going for a little bit of "the same-but-different" idea. I could have made many more cards from the kits, too -- all very different -- but I ran out of time!

All three of the cards use techniques from the newest Technique Junkie Newsletter CD: Simple and Easy Inking Techniques - Remix CD. It contains 30 tutorials culled from previously-published Newsletter issues. All of the techniques use just the most basic of supplies. The CD is only $9.95; more information can be found HERE.
  
A little about the cards:
The top card uses the Out of the Box Technique. Don't you just love that gorgeous background paper?

The middle card uses Color Sandwich Technique to get the two-toned effect from both the card and the popped balloon element.

The bottom card shows the Block Collage Technique. A little masking goes a long way!

Well, onward with the hop -- your next stop is Julie Heyer  (http://capecodscrapper.blogspot.com/) you will love her project!

Enjoy the hop, and thanks for stopping by today!
