TJ Design Team Having Some Spooky Fun

Happy Friday the 13th everyone and welcome to the Technique Junkies Friday the 13th Halloween Card Hop! Each Design Team Member has mad a Halloween card using Halloween stamps - new and previously released - with the hope that we inspire you to start making your own Halloween cards. Links to each of the cards is below and we hope you can hop on over to each one and check them out. Each Design Team Member also has a code on their posts that you can use to save 10% on the Technique Junkies website.



Here's my card:

I used the Technique Junkies Put on the Hat stamp for my card. The "witch/woman" was made using the Side Hat stencil from A Colorful Life, but Technique Junkies also has a stamp by the same name that could be used instead --> HERE. Of course her hat looks more classy so I used a piece of black cardstock for the hat instead of ink.

If you make a card using a Halloween stamp from Technique Junkies, please tag us by using #techniquejunkiesstamps so we can see what you create.

Now, let's go see the cards the Design Team Members made...

CAS806 Show Us Your Hats

Each Monday there is a new CAS Challenge on SCS. It's always fun to see what others create using the CAS theme.

This week's theme is...

Show Us Your Hats



Here's my card:

I am usually very dissatisfied with my ink blending, especially of larger areas, but my friend Darlene recently gave me a gift that is amazing for ink blending - Spellbinders Large Blending Brushes. WOW!!! I can't say enough good things about them. Thank you, Darlene! 


To get an idea of how big the blending brush is, take a look at this photo of my blending brushes - small ones, regular size ones, and the two large ones.


I hope you'll check out the challenge - HERE - and play along, too.

I will admit I know next to nothing about the Olympics. I'm only hoping that soccer is one of the sports featured in the Olympics. I'm going to go with the theory if it isn't, it should be.

Double Duty 2022 - Gina K

In January of 2021, my stamping comrades Barb and Kelly and I debuted a new series/challenge. Double Duty was Barb's idea... and it is a GREAT idea! I've had so much fun with this series. Thanks for inviting me to play along, Barb!

This is Barb's description of the Double Duty concept...

Each month, we get to pick a stamp set from a predetermined company. Then, we will use that one stamp set and make two cards from the set.  Different images and sentiments from the same set can be used, or use the same image two different ways—Double Duty either way!  But, as an added challenge, one item must be used on both cards—same color cardstock, same ribbon, same stencil, same something.  Double Duty Again!  Post both cards on your blog on the same day—the 22nd of each month.  See-Double Duty again!  Have fun getting doubly inky each month with a different stamp company.  Let’s have fun!

Over the past year, things have changed a bit in who's participating, but not in the instructions. This year's Double Duty crafters are Barb, Carol, Darlene, and me.

This month's company is Gina K. I chose her Love at All Times stamp set for my cards.


Card #1



Card #2



The thing/s that are the same on both cards (as per the challenge specifications) are: the color scheme, the sentiment, and the embellishments.

Let's check out the other Double Duty cards, too...
