Technique Junkies October New Release and Discount
Hello folks! It’s the first of the month and Technique Junkies love to celebrate with a new release and big savings. Today, until October 8th you can receive newly released stamps at 15% off that automatically comes off your shopping cart, AND if you use the code TJ10Beth, an additional 10% is taken off which equals 25% off newly released stamps and 10% off any other product in your shopping card, excluding clearance items. The full October Release can be see here.
My Merry Christmas card uses Poinsettia, set of 4; and Victorian Greetings, set of 6. I die cut the background, adhered designer paper and added my sentiment and poinsettia which I coloured with Prismacolor coloured pencils. I coloured two poinsettias and layered them with pop dots. Pearls were added to the sentiment and the flower.
I love plaid, and was so excited to pair up this darling moose with it. Chris Moose was stamped out and coloured with Prismacolor coloured pencil. Next, I added Crystal Stickles to the white part of the hat, and the Christmas bulbs handing on the antlers. Using Poinsettia, set of 4, I added the small poinsettia to the bottom, using pop dots to give it a 3-D feel. As well, I punched out green leaves and die cut a heart shape using gold cardstock and used pop dots on the star. Brads were added to each corner of the wood grain designer paper.
You can see the full release of stamps for the October New Release here.
Have I inspired you to start thinking about making your Christmas cards? Dare I tell you all my Christmas shopping is done, except for one present? I love the Christmas holiday season.

Hi folks, I’m late for this challenge in my stamping group. Had it made in time but was too “lazy” to film it, resize it and post it. It can be a real mental challenge for me and I wonder how many are in the same boat?
I created my “artificial tree” with scraps of DP and stamped Technique Junkies’ Big Flourish. It adds a flare like a snow-like breeze surrounding the tree. You can receive Big Flourish, or any other product that you’d like for 10% off simply by using code TJ10Beth at your checkout.
Thanks for stopping by!
Merry Christmas Sarah
After knitting nothing but dishcloths for three years I branched out and knitted a 3 1/2 yard scarf. When I showed the photo from the pattern book to my daughter, Sarah, she went gaga over it so I suprised her with with scarf for Christmas. It only took three weeks to knit, sew in the ends and add tassles. Not bad, eh? I finished a blue, brown and turquoise scarf for my husband, Al. It took me by surprise when he said he’d like one.
I have a coworker that wants one, and of course I want one for myself as well so I’ll be busy for a while. I’ll take the pace a little slower because my stamping did take the back seat as I wanted to get the scarves done in time.
Stay warm!
Winter Wonderland
Hello fellow stampers. I made the final six Christmas cards for the year, using Technique Junkies Snowflakes, Set of 9. I’ll bet you’re saying, “hey, you’re always using that set.” Truth be told it is my favourite winter stamp set because I have always been in love with snowflakes. They are so versatile as you can see here where I used a deer die cut and heat embossed gold snowflakes around the edges.
You can get this stamp set, or any other product at 10% off just by using my discount code TJ10Beth.
In the background I used Creaking Trees. I cut the sentiment off the top of the trees. The nice thing about cutting the sentiment becomes more versatile. Added to the right bottom corner is a 3-D Christmas tree embellishment.
Have a great week!

A Snowflake is Winter’s Butterfly
