Bash Day 18 - Rogue Reader

Today is Day 18 of the Technique Junkie Newsletter birthday bash. Thanks for joining us as we celebrate our 10th year anniversary!

The card you see above was made from several techniques, all from the Emboss or Die CD. The grey background was done with the Resist and Reveal Technique - I just love the vintage look it conveys! I also used the Sanded Core'dinations Technique for the aqua piece.  They are two of the 79 techniques on the Emboss or Die CD ($17.95).

The stamps I used are from Rogue Redhead Designs -- they are the stamps being given away, too. I love these reading themed stamps! There are an incredible number of stamps on this sheet,too:

To enter this giveaway, simply leave a comment with your email address on this blog post and my random number generator will select one lucky winner on Monday, October 22nd. Good luck!

Congrats to Emilie B, the winner of these stamps!

Welcome to the Hop!

Today we are celebrating the Stampin' Companion CD Tutorials. We wanted to show you that the CD is for everyone -- you will find many inspiring techniques on the CD using ANY stamps and materials!

If this is your first stop, take a moment to start at the beginning at the Design Team Blog. Starting there, you will see Judy's gorgeous art, and continue on with Six other people until you are back here. If you arrived from Lisa's blog, you have arrived in the right place!

Today I chose to do the Swing Out Card, one of the 70 tutorials on the Stampin' Companion CD. I used stamps from Rogue Redhead Designs -- I think this is a great "girlfriend card"! As you can see from the photo below, the front panel swings out (um, hence the name...).  It is a cool 3D effect that allows it to sit on a table for display. This is also my card for Blogger's Challenge this week - Going 3D.

Although the Stampin' Companion CD was made with all Stampin' Up! products, I hope our blog has shown that the tutorials are perfectly paired with other companies, too. The CD is $17.95 ($19.95 for overseas) and has 70 pdf, step-by-step tutorials. How can you go wrong with that?

Since you spent some time with us today,  it's time for the reward! Simply leave comments on the blogs, and here, and on Tuesday morning (March 13) I will pick one lucky winner randomly who will have their choice of ANY two TJ CDs. You can choose the Stampin' Companion, 3D and Fun Folds, Stampbooking, Emboss or Die, Fancy Folds and Motion, OR ANY of the 9 annual CDs. It is your choice! (NOTE: The Specialty CDs in any combination can be ordered from the TJ Home Page.

Thanks for stopping by today -- hope you were inspired! Make sure to leave a comment here to enter the CD giveaway.
