Happy Day Phone Case

Happy New Year's Eve, DCWV friends! Boy, 2015 went by fast! 

A few weeks ago, I bought a new cover for my phone. I bought one with a clear backing with plans of doing something creative with it!

I love the colors in the Happy Day stack. They go perfect with the gold frame of the case. 

I picked a pretty foil polka dot print to be the background of the phone. I used a printed saying that is part of the stack and cut it down to size to fit the case. I pieced the two papers together and placed inside the case.

Once the paper is in the case, I used a pencil to trace around the camera hole. Using an exacto knife, I cut the camera hole out.

I am excited about how this turned out. No more boring phone case!

Thank you for stopping by! Happy New Year!

Joy Clair - Paisley Bouquet Card

 Today on the Joy Clair blog, the design team is showcasing the cute Paisley Bouquet stamp set. The set is full of fun images and sentiments.

I did repeat stamping with the layered flowers from the Paisley Bouquet set.

 

 

I stamped the background of the flower all over the card with yellow ink. I used the outline stamp and stamped the image in black over the yellow. To fill in the 'white space' with the HELLO stamp from the set.

 

Please stop by the Joy Clair blog to see the rest of the DT Paisley Bouquet stamp set creations.

 

With the hectic holiday time, I am behind on a few posting. I would like to share a few more Joy Clair cards I created with different stamp sets.

Pretty Cute Stamps - Anything Goes Challenge

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is 'Anything Goes'!

 



I used the very cute Gingerbread House stamp set for my card today. 

 

This large image is easy to color with markers. Once the image was colored in, I used a white gel pen to 'add' snow to the top of the gumdrops. I wanted to keep the card pretty simple. So I rounded the corners to add a special touch to the card.

Pink & Main Birthday Girl Card

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! We are having a birthday party tomorrow, so birthday theme projects have been on my mind. So I brought out the new Pink & Main Birthday Girl stamp set and coordinating die.

  

 

 

I picked out the festive birthday hat paper for the background of the square card. I colored the birthday girl image with colors to match the paper. Once the image was colored, I used the coordinating die and cut out the image. The girl is attached to the card with foam dots. The sentiment is stamped onto a pendant diecut.

But over the years, the red, pink and lime green combo is growing on me. Today I am using DCWV and Joy Clair products to create this card.

I actually used the DCWV DIY Project Stack Baby Girl for the papers to make this card. I used fun prints to cover the card base and the panel. The green chevron print is attached to a red cardstock mat. The sentiment is stamped on a printed strip of paper. I used bright, festive holiday chipboard stickers to add texture and dimension to the card.

Joy Clair's Hugs & Smiles

 Hello, stamping friends! I am excited to share one of my latest Joy Clair creations! Today I am working with one of my favorite sets, Hugs & Smiles.

 

 

I am in love with the simple jar image. I used a variety of color inks to stamp the image. (Tip- Use tape to cover parts of the stamp that you do not want inked. Remove tape before stamping the image.) I used a gray marker to add the shadow effect at the bottom of the jar. The sentiment is stamped on a bold strip of patterned paper to help the sentiment stand out.

Hugs & Smiles creations!

Warm Winter Wishes

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! I know that parts of the country have already seen snow. But down here along the Texas Gulf coast, we always hope to be able to see snow. At least hopefully one time per year. I personally, would love to see snow more often!

When I first saw the new stamp set, Grandma's Lace, I thought of snowflakes. So I decided to created a winter themed card using the stamp set.
 

  

I stamped the variety lace design with white ink on the bright blue cardstock. The sentiment is from the Scarlett stamp set and stamped onto a pendant diecut.  This is a very simple cardstock to create.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Come Adore Him

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Can you believe it is December? Where does the time go? Before we know it, Christmas will be here!

Today, I am showcasing the holiday sets, Nativity 1 and Nativity 2. The simple image and cute sentiment make it easy to create this CAS card.

To start this card, I stamped the image of baby Jesus in the center of the card. I colored in the image with a variety of markers. Also added a shadow effect with a gray marker. The sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card. A few sequins are added to the card and the bottom corner. 

Thank you for stopping by!
