Last two from the Advanced Techniques Class!

Good afternoon! Wow, the climate has really changed here in middle Tennessee - it's in the low 30s, and we've had snow and ice already today! Brrrrr. Quite a change from Monday, when it was 82!!!!

Anyway. :) Back to the class!

The first card I want to show you is called DUOTONE RESIST. I changed it up a little bit, because I wanted my images to come through the top layers a little more. :) The colors on this are Whisper White, Summer Sun, and More Mustard; the stamp sets we used are BEAUTIFUL THING and LOVELY AS A TREE. We used the distressing tool in the cutting kit to do the edges of the tree, and sponged it in More Mustard ink. Monochromatic cards are some of my favorites, because they're very calming. I have to admit, More Mustard does NOT happen to fall in "my favorite colors", but I think it really works for this technique!

The second technique is called STRINGING YOU ALONG. I had a lot of fun with this one. :) The colors are Real Red, Only Orange, and YoYo Yellow. The greeting is from HAPPY EVERYTHING; inside, there's a stamp from A LITTLE BIRTHDAY CHEER. The cupcake is from CRAZY ABOUT CUPCAKES. :) And yes, everything is embossed with black embossing powder, to help it really stand out. We cut out the cupcake - after coloring with Stampin' Write markers - and put it on the card front with dimensionals. And yup, that is my favorite ticket corner punch! :D

If you missed my class, I hope you'll check out HERE to see my upcoming class schedule!

Now, then. Ann said,

Lori,

Is it my understanding then that we have to pay to see how your cards are created? By having to go to the Technique Junkies site? I'm a little confused why we would have to pay to see how you made your cards.

Ann

Ann, I can understand how it could be a bit confusing. These TECHNIQUES are from a subscription to Technique Junkies that Pat Huntoon puts a lot of hard work and effort into creating. It's part of her livelihood, the subscription rates that are paid. So whenever I say it's from Technique Junkies, I won't be telling specifics about HOW to do the card. If you have a specific question, however, PLEASE feel free to email me! It's poohisstampin@aol.com, and I check my email all the time. :) I'll be glad to help you!

Until tomorrow, my friends! I hope you're taking the time to STAMP something!!!???? :D
