I LOVE all the techniques from Pat Huntoon's new CD "Emboss or Die" and all the creative possibilities it promises! The TJ design team has fabulous sneak peek ideas to share with you today... so I hope you will check them all out!! Hold the drool;)
<br />
<br />My card here uses the <em>floating window</em> technique. It has a lacey delicate feel to it... just right for an inspirational card. I also envision the technique with a funky/chunky look that would be fun and hip! The Emboss or Die CD has those professional instructions and step by step photos that Pat is famous for... you wont be disappointed with the multitude of ideas!

I needed to do a little re-organizing to reflect my stamping needs. My youngest daughter has been stamping frequently and I needed to include her in the re-organizing. Now, the stamping space feels fresh and inviting... for both my daughter and I.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhehduRtJJ7R-KZY3-cIDIr3LzQUN1_y1isnjoln371jb2FGQ15yLECyYJy0qn84LBB3WiG5KJyxDz8_SsCBHXb_SbCTsHLfoLOmoyLb4AqWIWHMXe_wevyx0dA2-04Q1vs536rOiiCRkPx/s1600/tornframes-smARTworks-kbt01.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562054679886533266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 234px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhehduRtJJ7R-KZY3-cIDIr3LzQUN1_y1isnjoln371jb2FGQ15yLECyYJy0qn84LBB3WiG5KJyxDz8_SsCBHXb_SbCTsHLfoLOmoyLb4AqWIWHMXe_wevyx0dA2-04Q1vs536rOiiCRkPx/s320/tornframes-smARTworks-kbt01.JPG" border="0" /></a> The floral image here is by smARTworks and colored with Copics.

If you just arrived you may want to start the blog hop from <a href="http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com/">Technique Junkies blog</a> so can see all the inspiration the design team as put together for you. Thanks to <a href="http://www.sunflowers-dragonflies.ca/blog/">Beth</a> for sharing her great art work!<br />My card using the technique by design sketch was inspired by crisp green apples... the tart apples that make the best warm apple pie. Layer 'A' is a section of Antiqued Glimmers and Layer 'B' is Faded Texture from the current TJ issue. Once the section of faded texture was dry I did highlight the lettering from the embossing folder with walnut stain distress ink. I really wanted some of the fun autumn words to show! Playing with techniques is so relaxing and I hope you are inspired.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQzSuMqdHi9OeYFCauiP8kq_ZlHXkhCeB45H0JkGjER_NPnPO4yjj74CNtFKMF0oqtxv0zGA8BREQ0FSXovOslWXRGjdigrz4hASFKqlWR68RA5QZs4LG04xKMivblVUIjkvWO6Dj1FeQ/s1600/Oct+technique+by+design-kbt.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524035328134462658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQzSuMqdHi9OeYFCauiP8kq_ZlHXkhCeB45H0JkGjER_NPnPO4yjj74CNtFKMF0oqtxv0zGA8BREQ0FSXovOslWXRGjdigrz4hASFKqlWR68RA5QZs4LG04xKMivblVUIjkvWO6Dj1FeQ/s320/Oct+technique+by+design-kbt.JPG" border="0" /></a>Technique by Design challenge – every TJ member who puts a Design Challenge card on the TJ yahoo group or sends it to Pat Huntoon will be entered into a drawing for awesome prizes.

Our blog hops and make and takes have been a huge success this year... huge thanks to all the VC Rocks members who contribute their talent and inspiration!! If you have missed any of the wonderful stops on the hop... begin at the <a href="http://www.vcrocks.blogspot.com/">VC Rocks blog</a>. If you arrived from <a href="http://www.brendasstampingcorner.blogspot.com/">Brenda Hugar's blog </a>you've seen her awesome VC Hotel inspired project... isnt it too cute??<br /><br />On to my share for today! I'm featuring the motorcycle stamp from the Summer mini (get this little guy while you can, it is so fun to play with) and the returning In Colors Tangerine Tango and Soft Suede. There is alot of shine on my card which you may not see in the photo.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MtTHqlC8c2OqAQJKrF_xjwi2zIXFo9YfvAnw3qSoD8qxBzcLGV2PpJaaSRgg84Vg8AfPAzXyHYFYNGFc3iVy3xT7r79xwBEGqRS278YIWW3HgehHYtqto09ClW3op7qRKPlpjdZ3uCwL/s1600/vcbloghop3-kbt01.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494515001520787218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 257px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3MtTHqlC8c2OqAQJKrF_xjwi2zIXFo9YfvAnw3qSoD8qxBzcLGV2PpJaaSRgg84Vg8AfPAzXyHYFYNGFc3iVy3xT7r79xwBEGqRS278YIWW3HgehHYtqto09ClW3op7qRKPlpjdZ3uCwL/s320/vcbloghop3-kbt01.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />My background is a modified version of Antiqued Glimmers from Technique Junkies Newsletter. First, I rubbed tangerine tango and soft suede ink onto a non-stick craft sheet. Next, I spritzed the ink with gold glow Smooch Spray and laid my white cardstock into the mixture. Repeat this process once and let dry. The dry background piece was embossed with a folder and the embossed areas highlighted by dragging a soft suede ink pad across the surface. Set this aside.<br />The main image was stamped with soft suede. I used a blender pen and tangerine tango ink to color in selected portions of the motorcycle. Tear around the image and sponge soft suede along the edges... repeat with greeting.<br />The hodgepodge hardware was distressed by using sandpaper made for metal. Sorry I dont know the brand because I snuck it out of my hubby's sandpaper stash. Swipe a little dark brown alcohol ink (Sharpie or Copic marker) and immediately wipe with a dry cloth to remove some of the ink. If you are angry or frustrated, hammer the edges a bit;)<br />Lastly, embellish with a bit of knotted crochet lace tied to the square hardware!<br /><br />Next on the blog hop is my friend Patrice Herrara at <a href="http://www.mylittlepatchofdirt.blogspot.com/">My Little Patch of Dirt</a>.<br /><br /><br /><br />Have a rockin' day!<br /><br />KimmUnknownnoreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972574913763673575.post-43526172180546865052010-05-31T18:35:00.000-07:002010-06-01T05:53:02.831-07:00June "Technique by Design" Challenge-Contest!!Hello stamping friends!<br /><br />I'm glad you stopped by to visit!

If you have just arrived... our very first VC blog hop begins at <a href="http://www.vcrocks.blogspot.com/">VC Rocks</a> !<br />I love rubber stamping techniques... I love my copic markers... and I love <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vc_rocks/">VC Rocks </a> yahoo group for all the summer stamping fun! It is a group of ladies who love to stamp, scrap, swap, do challenges, play games and above all make friends!<br />The theme for our first blog hop is to use <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/default.asp">Stampin' UP!</a> retiring colors or summer mini stamp sets. I choose to use Brilliant Blue, Taken with Teal, Handsome Hunter and Mellow Moss to create a birthday card. I hope you enjoy it!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvzRhWq06FF7Eu8qS_Zrk1I7MwBBkirCvGZq1i51zz1a0kwhtEIN4FzMhG_Ff1t5c0wmxmWfy_xteFfiZPBCMhNghPNvrrQnA7Sbhqloj_3bR001OWDgUvGZNzMuNV76kmfNTOYENoXs-/s1600/vc+blog+hop+1-kbt01.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5471286167147577618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 273px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSvzRhWq06FF7Eu8qS_Zrk1I7MwBBkirCvGZq1i51zz1a0kwhtEIN4FzMhG_Ff1t5c0wmxmWfy_xteFfiZPBCMhNghPNvrrQnA7Sbhqloj_3bR001OWDgUvGZNzMuNV76kmfNTOYENoXs-/s320/vc+blog+hop+1-kbt01.JPG" border="0" /></a> Directions:<br />1. Prepare a 1/4 sheet of Faux Designer Paper (Technique Junkie Newsletter Dec. 08) by embossing the large flourish from Baroque Motifs with clear embossing powder then apply mellow moss direct to paper. With hot iron and scrap paper, remove the embossing powder leaving a resist behind. Stamp additional images from Extreme Elements with taken with teal and handsome hunter. Trim 1/4 edge off.<br />2. Stamp flower image from Fifth Avenue floral seven times in clear embossing powder. Use a sponge to apply mellow moss, taken with teal and brilliant blue ink to each flower. Cut out. Embellish each flower center with dazzling diamonds glitter.<br />3. Layer faux designer paper section onto taken with teal and then a brilliant blue A2 size base.<br />4. Adhere cut flowers to the faux designer paper section, leaving upper right corner open for a greeting of your choice. Add oval clip and tie grograin ribbon to edge of greeting.<br /><br /><br />Your next visit on the blog hop is with the multi-talented Stace- <a href="http://www.stampinstace.blogspot.com/">Stampin Stace</a>.

We enjoying some daily challenges and lots of chat... with swaps, classes, contests and more to come over the summer!!<br />This little card uses 3 of my favorite SU colors- tangerine, bermuda bay and soft suede. The tangerine layer was created with Painted Pigments technique that I developed for <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.techniquejunkies.com">"Technique Junkies Newsletter".</a> For the daily challenge I was only allowed to use one SU that I've used the most over the past year... I'm pretty sure that was French Filigree.<br />I hope you enjoy the results.<br />KimmUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972574913763673575.post-76317465167875890302010-03-29T03:00:00.000-07:002010-03-29T03:00:05.351-07:00Technique by Design Blog HopHello Friends... and welcome to my stop on the Technique by Design Blog Hop!!

I wanted warm and sunny to show off the main daffodil image.<br />Panel A is the Sanded Core'dinations- current issue.<br />Panels B and D are both Painted Pigments technique (Aug. 08 issue) however panel D I ran through the cuttlebug and highlighted the embossing with stickles glitter glue. I liked the touch of pink mixed with the orange and yellow inks:)<br />Panel C and E are Spritzed Copic Stone (Dec. 09 issue) using Y11, Y38 and YR15 copic sketch markers.

Many of you may already know my son was critically ill and had major heart surgery in January. He is a young man so this came as quite a shock to my family. Praise be to God he is now recovering well! God is GOOD!!<br />I am trying to get back into the creative swing of things in my life. I hope you'll enjoy this thank you card I sent to my sister. She lovingly drove 2 hours each way to come and stay at the hospital while my son was there... it was such a blessing to have her there with me. The main image is by B Line stamps and colored with copic markers. The background technique is antiqued glimmers published in Technique Junkies Newsletter Dec. 09.<br />KimmUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972574913763673575.post-31426644110354491822009-12-26T08:03:00.000-08:002009-12-26T08:03:30.501-08:00Merry Christmas!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Merry Christmas Friends and Followers!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Allow me to share one big reason I've been missing.... our new puppy! This little sweetie pup is a Christmas present for my daughter. She is a long hair chihuahua. Just a day and a half after we picked her up she became very sick and it was several days and long nights of nuring her back to health. I am happy to report that Rosalee is healthy and playful again!<br />

The last one I actually colored first... then the next two I figured out to color over the black in the penguins with Copic neutral gray 7... boy do those cute little guys pop out with that touch of extra gray!<br />

Friends and blog readers may be exhausted from all the Black Friday treasure hunts this past weekend but I hope you have found this treasure hunt to be fun and relaxing! If you just arrived here you will want to begin at the <a href="http://techniquejunkies.blogspot.com/">Technique Junkies Blog</a> so that you can collect all the clues! At the end of the treasure hunt your CLUES will spell a word... leave Pat Huntoon a comment with the correct word for a chance to win a fabulous prize!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First up, I'd like to share this fairy card featuring 'Color Outside the Lines' technique from the Dec. 09 issue of <a href="http://www.techniquejunkies.com/index.html">Technique Junkies Newsletter</a>. I'm finding this technique to be especially helpful when I have large detailed images and I do not want to color the <em>whole</em> thing but want to work with a portion of the image or when I have a smaller image that I want to appear larger yet still highlight the beauty of the image itself. <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOf_ZaNYk301A1jpcTWnHuy6nCOh0W38cW14Sli_Uz1JP17hgst7HdH8jR_QNcOLjtdbTwUcsGDHpgAbw4C1udj3dIIrbcCyJGRUOPnBsttgAHhqjBS1lnLrUatiP6kO9qoteO5UUiDtVk/s1600/TJbloghop-coloroutsidethelines-kbt02.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOf_ZaNYk301A1jpcTWnHuy6nCOh0W38cW14Sli_Uz1JP17hgst7HdH8jR_QNcOLjtdbTwUcsGDHpgAbw4C1udj3dIIrbcCyJGRUOPnBsttgAHhqjBS1lnLrUatiP6kO9qoteO5UUiDtVk/s320/TJbloghop-coloroutsidethelines-kbt02.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Next I'd like to share this winter scene by <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/default.asp">Stampin' UP</a> using the same Color Outside the Lines technique. With this scene I stamped the image with Rich Cocoa by Memento (rather than the usual black) and used frosty blue tones (BG000 and BG01 copic markers) for coloring. A tiny touch of yellow in the church window becomes very inviting in this chilly winter scene. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your treasue hunt clue is the letter <strong>N.</strong></span><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This technique is great to use with a variety of coloring mediums... give it a try!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next stop is at <a href="http://www.lisasomerville.com/">Lisa Somerville's</a> website! Good Luck everyone!<br />
