Nurses Are Angels

One of the new release stamps from Technique Junkies for February is  Nurses Are Angels . I have been an RN since 1984 and spent most of my career in Intensive Care Units. I absolutely loved taking care of my patients and also their families - it is a rewarding,  challenging and many times heartbreaking profession.  I'm no longer in direct patient care,  now looking forward to retirement I certainly don't see myself as an angel - I just hope that the care I've given to others has made a positive impact and made a scary situation a little less traumatic for my patients and their loved ones..

• I stamped the Nurses Are Angels image on white mixed-media paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and Catherine Pooler Peppermint Scrub ink .
• The stamped image was die-cut with a square scalloped die.
• I adhered a piece of pink polka-dot patterned paper to a white card base.
• A strip of paper was trimmed from a piece of patterned paper and adhered at the bottom of the polka-dot paper as a border.
• Red rhinestones were placed in the center of every other flower on the border.
• The completed stamped image was adhered to the card with foam tabs.

This is just one of 13 new stamps from Technique Junkies this month . You can save 10% when you shop with my code - TJ10Deb . Be kind to yourself and take time to create !!

Sisters

I grew up in a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania . I had one brother who was 6 years older than me. My mother had 9 brothers and sisters, so there were lots of cousins who lived nearby that I saw quite often. My best friend was from a large Italian family too - she had 9 younger brothers and sisters.  But I always wished for a sister of my own ; had a picture in my head of a wonderful relationship with someone who just would get me, love me and my quirky side no matter what .. When I saw this Sister Therapy stamp from the latest Technique Junkies Release, it took me back to my childhood when I wanted to have a sister so very badly !! And I could also hear my mom's voice telling me - "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it ." LOL  I made this card for my friend Xenia to send to her sister in New York . I asked her their favorite colors ( black and gray !!! )  . And then I also used my favorite color - RED . I hope they both like it as much as I enjoyed making it.

• I stamped the Sister Therapy image with 3 colors of Memento ink - Black Tuxedo, Gray Flannel and Lady Bug -  on white Mixed-Media paper.
• I cut a piece of red patterned paper to fit an A2 card and adhered it to a pink card base.
• The Sister Therapy image was die-cut with a Rectangle Swirl die.
• I cut a strip of black patterned paper to fit lengthwise down the red paper and adhered it to the left side of the card.
• The Sisters image was popped up on the card base with foam tabs.
• Small red pearls were placed on the strip of black paper.

Don't forget that all of the new February Release stamps are 15% off through February 8. No code is needed for that . AND if you use my code - TJ10Deb - you can get  10% off all other supplies . So if you have a sister, have ever wanted a sister or have a friend who is just like a sister, you NEED this stamp !! I absolutely love it 💓

Thanks for stopping by . I always appreciate it .

Until next time, Stay Creative !!

Technique Junkies Stamp Release / February 2024

The Technique Junkies February Release is full of 13 wonderful new stamp sets !! Fun stamps for the background lover, cat lover, sentiment hoarder and animal lover - just to name a few . There is something for everyone !!

 

I've combined 2 of the new releases - Greek Tapestry and African Proverbs - to create a Valentine for a friend. When I first looked at the Greek Tapestry stamp, I wondered what I could do with that background.  Should I just use it as a card front ?? Then as I continued to look at it after I had stamped it, I realized that the gorgeous heart would make a beautiful Valentine for a friend. 

• I stamped the Greek Tapestry image on cream cardstock with Cranberry Fizz  ink from Catherine Pooler. 
• The heart was fussy-cut from the stamped panel.
• I adhered a piece of scrap wood-patterned paper to a red card base.
• The sentiment was stamped on a piece of gray patterned paper that already had the heart on it . Perfect !!
• I adhered the fussy-cut heart to the center of the card .
• The sentiment from African Proverbs was adhered near the bottom of the heart with foam tabs.

This stamp can be used in a variety of ways - as a beautiful background or by fussy-cutting or die-cutting certain areas.  As always, new release stamps are 15% off - NO CODE REQUIRED - through the 8th of the month . My code - TJ10Deb - will get you 10% off  everything else . Or if you just gotta have them all,  you can get a special price  over on the Technique Junkies  website. The entire Technique Junkies team has been busy creating their projects to showcase the new Release; Follow the links below for lots of inspiration :
