Give Away a Day -- Day 7

It is Day Seven of our Anniversary month and we are getting PUNCHY! For today's offering on our give away a day, I am offering two brand-new Stampin' Up! punches, plus the card shown above. I took the punches out of their bags to show you what they looked like, but they have never been used. The larger punch is a tab punch, and the smaller is my favorite -- the spiral punch. Today's sponsor is...ME! : )

Today's "Eye Candy" uses the Rainbow Double Technique from the August 2007 Technique Junkie Newsletter. I made this card to show an example of the spiral punch in action (plus, I really like the technique, too). All of the stamps used are from Stampin' Up!, too.

Okay, now, before I give you the give away rules, there is one more thing...if you feel like it, tell me what your favorite punch is, and why. I do read every post --however quickly, and with one finger on the delete key -- and I have been enjoying the comments more than I can express! It probably gets a little boring for YOU, though, faithful blog-contest-enterer, so I am giving you something to write in your post : ) Of course, it is totally optional! You will be entered no matter what your comment says.

Okay, here's today's rules, if you are new to this:

Give Away a Day -- Day 6

Happy Anniversary, Technique Junkies! It is Give-Away, Day 6 and today we have some special stamps from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. The lucky winner of this give away will receive two beautiful clear acrylic stamp sets (each set is approximately 5" x 7"). Many thanks to Pamela for her beautiful stamp sets.

Today's eye candy was made using Firecracker Designs by Pamela stamps. The background is the Cling and Scrunch Technique from the June 2006 of the Technique Junkie Newsletter, and the gold/orange areas are the Cotton Color Technique from the April Issue of the newsletter. It's not easy to see, but the butterfly and rose are colored with markers directly on the Cotton Color, then covered with diamond glaze to give it shine and dimension. Another technique: Poppin' Rub-ons, was used to highlight the words.

I guess when you have nearly 400 technique under your belt, it is hard not to use them, huh? : ) Dorry about the not-so-great picture -- this is a very pretty card in person.

If you are a regular on my Blog, you know that I participate in a Blogger's Challenge every Friday. With the Give Away A Day going on, I thought it would be fun to incorporate my BC card into the giveaway!



This week's challenge was to use Black and Orange. Of course, with these colors as my palette, I just HAD to make a fall card! (Leaf Stamp: Lindy's Stamp Gang; Always: Innovative Stamp Creations) The back ground is on a Veined Marble background, which is a technique from the August 2007 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. I just love this card! But then again, Fall IS my favorite season. It's all about the colors!!!



Make sure that you take a peek at the blogger's in the challenge group, listed on the left side of this page. Such beautiful creations! So inspiring.

Okay, now for the Give-Away. Today, you will receive a whole package of inspiration!
