WCMD with Technique Tuesday! Blog Hop!

Today is World Card Making Day! I hope you get to celebrate by making a few cards. I’m going to try to make a couple this evening !

Technique Tuesday has a fun new stamp set, You’re Owlsome, in honor of WCMD! (You can receive this stamp set FREE–details below).

I made this fun card to send a friend:

I colored this fun owl with Copic Markers and die cut him out with the coordinating dies. For the background, I used X-pressit sparkly tape that my friend gifted me! Love this tape! Sparkle with no mess! I got out my X-Acto blade and trimmed the edges for a crisp line….need a light hand so you don’t cut through the card base 🙂 .

Technique Tuesday has a special promotion for World Card Making Day that runs though Oct. 7th where you can get the You’re Owlsome stamp set for free through the Technique Tuesday website.

Today is the day for all the new Technique Tuesday October products to be available HERE!

For this card, I used the new Technique Tuesday products: Henrietta the Hedgehog Stamp Set and Henrietta the Hedgehog Crafting Dies. Ack–cute!

I colored all the elements with Copic Markers and stamped the sentiment with Versafine before adding a little stitching. 🙂 That little mushroom! Eeep!

October Release Countdown, Day 2 from Technique Tuesday!

Welcome to Day TWO of Technique Tuesday’s October Release Countdown! Today’s is as fun as yesterday’s!

Today I used the VERY soon to be released Bow on the Border Die. This bow is so bold it really holds a card all on its own—fabulousness! It’s great for the holidays, but I think I like it more for anytime of the year! 🙂 The sentiment is from the new String of Lights Stamp Set. (*Links will work when the new products are released tomorrow, October 1st)

I die cut the bow on the border of a panel and inlaid the patterned paper, tying a gift tag on. I was intending to make a birthday card, but then this red and white striped card happened and then it became about the holidays. ❤

Be sure to check out the NEW product from Technique Tuesday HERE! (The new product shown above will be available via the link tomorrow, October 1st! 🙂

Technique Tuesday: Day 1 of the October Release Countdown

Today we are showing Day One of the Technique Tuesday countdown to the new October release! Oh happy day! 🙂

Today I am sharing a FAVE of mine from the NEW String of Lights Stamp Set colored with colored pencils. Holiday lights are one of my favorite iconic images for the holidays and I was sooooo happy to see these new stamps!! (Links will work on October 1st, release day.) I have another card to share another day with these cute lights.

I colored the lights with colored pencils. I haven’t used my pencils in a long while, so I fear my skills are needing to be dusted off. Not completely loving how this card ended up, now that I see it in a photo. But that’s half the fun: Improving and practice! LOVE these lights!!

Be sure to check out the NEW products from Technique Tuesday HERE! (The new product above will be available via its link on October 1!)

And follow the new release over at the Technique Tuesday Blog HERE! Once there, you can find all the Design Team’s blogs to link to.

I’ll see you back here again tomorrow for another sneak!

Thanks for stopping by!
