Drunken Crabs?

 

Little Drunken Crabs. I can' help myself - I keep envisioning them running around the beach all willy-nilly.

Funcle


 Everyone should have a cool uncle! Our shimmery, glittery creation celebrating this special relative uses a stencil from ACLD and Shimmer Spray to create a background for our uncle. The Funcle sentiment is from the Definition of Family set, and the man himself is from the Mod Man Christmas Stamp (I just masked off his Christmas Hat). Both stamps are available from Technique Junkies:

You do You, Little Flamingo


 Our fun Flamingo Flock card reminds you to be yourself! I used patterned paper in place of one of the Flamingos, and some glitter for it's eye. The sentiment is from the Good Vibes Set. You Do You!

Back to School


 If you have kids still in school, this time of year comes with bittersweet moments. The end of summer, the beginning of a little bit of craziness, and time juggling, and sometimes even relief! Our Back to School Background and Back to School Banner rubber stamps are great for any teacher to welcome them back to school. They need the encouragement! (Better yet, include some class supplies with the card!).

The Juggle is real!


 Some days are just harder than others! We all just have so much on our plates...the Juggle IS real!

This card uses the Juggle is Real stamp and the Op Art rubber stamps to drive home the fact that life feels like a circus sometimes...

A Little Crabby


 Our simple little crabby card uses the Crazy Crabs stamp along with the A Little Crabby Sentiment from the Crabby Set. The ink was brayered direct-to-stamp stamp using a homemade, multicolored ink pad. This is a great card for any Curmudgeon in your life - or just to send an apology.

Hippie Border in Dimension


 I had so much fun making the Hippie Flower border extend up and out! I stamped to border once on the background, and then again on another cardstock piece. I then cut individual flowers from the border and added dimensionals to pop them off the page! Both stamps (Hippie Flower Border and Good Vibes stamp set of 8) are available from Technique Junkies.

Fishing Adventure


 Ready for an Adventure? Our Adventure stamp banner is the perfect sentiment for this masculine fishing card, using the Fisherman in Motion stamp. The background is randomly brayered inks. This is a great greeting card for any angler in your life!

Call it a plan


 The abstract floral background from Technique Junkies is very versatile. It looks great with the flowers colored, on colored paper stamped with black ink, or with different colored inks added direct-to-stamp, as I have done here. I think this looks so elegant!

The sentiment is from the Contemporary Inspirations set (4 stamps) and is a great reminder to plan for what you want in life! Both stamps are from the July 15th release from Technique Junkies.

Fan your flames

 

I just love this sentiment - it is such a wonderful reminder to pursue your dreams and keep close to people who help you achieve them. The Life on Fire stamp was paired with the African Dancers stamp; both were stamped in black over an ink-brayered background.

Tree of Life


 The new Technique Junkies Tree of Life stamp is pretty whether it is stamped in black on a colored background or stamped on white and colored. I stamped it on an ink-splattered background here, and added the You are Amazing Sentiment to the front.
