Welcome! Today is Day 30 of the Technique Junkie Newsletter 10 year Anniversary Bash, and we are celebrating today with a Blog Hop! The TJ Design team is joining in today with a very special prize. If you arrived here from Holly's blog, you are in the right place - the final stop of the hop. If you STARTED here, take a minute to go to the Design Team Blog and follow our hop back to here. The artwork is worth it!Our idea today was to show our favorite techniques with the hop. Holy cow -- with over 1000 techniques published, asking me to pick my favorite is like picking a favorite child! Instead, what I decided to do was to pick my favorite fold -- The Tall Accordion Card from the Fancy Folds and Motion CD. I love this fold because it is so easy -- and since it stands up so nicely, it is lovely to display, too.
I have two cards here to show you. The first is one (above) that I designed for Make and Takes for our Trade Show booth during 2012. It uses Close To My Heart Stamps and one of my favorite color combinations: black, white and red.
The second, on the right, uses Club Stamp papers and stamps. On this sample, I also used two more techniques. First, the peacock feather in front was colored using the Brush Wash Technique from the October 2011 issue. The center portion uses the Cuttlebug Highlights Technique from the October 2008 issue, with a bit of gold embossing to match the gorgeous gold paper.So you are probably wondering what the prize is today, right?
One lucky winner will have the opportunity to become a Guest Designer for an issue! The winner will have their artwork published on the TJ Artwork site, and at least one piece will be published in the paper issue. You will see the issue two months before everyone else, too! Oh yes -- I will add a year subscription to your prize, too.
To win this giveaway, simply leave your email address and a comment on this blog post. My random number generator will select one lucky winner on Thursday, November 1st (Hurricane Sandy/Power Outages Permitting). Good luck and thank you for coming to the hop!
Congratulations to Beth Parker, the winner of the Guest Designer Prize!

Fabulous cards and what an awesome prize!

I love the card but somehow I manage to mess up cards that require special measuring and cuts, so I don't usually make this type. [I would if I could get them to turn out like yours.]

Love the folded card! I am not sure I am quite that advanced yet but look forward to trying it.

Sometimes I get in rut and don't try new folds for my cards. Thanks so much for giving me some new inspiration.

I am a fan of the black & white with red as well. I am REALLY crazy for the Damask Pattern in Black & White.
Pat, I did this same type card for my daughter when she graduated from college. It is so easy to do and looks so impressive - from Barbara Hoch cistamps@centurylink.net
My heart goes out to all of you on the east coast as you recover from the devastation of Sandy. Hoping everything gets back to normal for you very soon!

These tri-fold/zig zag cards are so much FUN! Thanks so much for sharing!
I had a delightful time visiting every blog for this hop. In fact, I had a delightful time all month and thank you so much for taking time to let us celebrate your anniversary with you! I feel like it's my anniversary too!
I love the tri-fold card and your cards are awesome! Thanks for reminding us that we can fold it to suit our stamps.
(Just a note... I commented on every blog, but at least one recorded me using my alter ego (Sandy #1781), my Fiskateer number)). I love that we have a chance to be part of TJ for an issue. Thanks.

These are spectacular cards. Hope everything will soon be back to normal for the entire East Coast area!
Really like this composition and the colors!
have seen this fold and wondered how to make it.. Very neat looking card!
Love the zigzag card!! highdesertstamper@gmail.com
I am so thankful for different size card designs. I get so stuck in A2! This is another card sample that makes me want to go make one just because. Thanks-
Love these cards and the colors. I haven't tried this technique yet. Guess I have to get on the ball! Thanks for 10 years of wonderful inspiration with the newsletter and cd's.
