Joy Clair's Mother's Day Hop

Today, the Joy Clair design team is highlighting the super adorable Mother's Day stamp set! It is full of super cute puns and funny images. A perfect stamp set to make the perfect card for the mother with a great sense of humor! So glad that my mother is one of them!

Here is a closer look of the Mother's Day stamp set:

One today's card, I wanted to make a "split personality" card. Serious on the front, party on the inside!

From the Mother's Day stamp set, I used the SH!# image stamp for the inside sentiment of the card. The image is colored in with a brown pen. A white gel pen is used to make the teeth and eyes REALLY pop!

I used the new Spring Time Flowers stamp set to create the front of the card. The floral image is stamped and embossed in white. I used a blending tool to add the ombre look with a pretty pink distress ink. The sentiment, from the Hello Sentiments stamp set, is stamped in gray ink.

Be sure to stop by the Joy Clair blog to find more of the design team's projects they created using the Mother's Day stamp set!

Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop - Joy Clair Stamps

Welcome, friends! I hope you are enjoying the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop! There are so many talented artists joining in the fun! I am sure you are getting super inspired to go and create after this hop! If you are stopping by and interested in starting at the beginning, hop on over to the official Coffee Lovers Blog to start.

Today, I am joining some of my fellow Joy Clair design team members to showcase how with use the Joy Clair stamps for our coffee projects. You can see the team's creations on the Joy Clair blog.

For today's project, I am using the Coffee Lovers stamp set to complete a Bible Page:

To start the page, I stamped the coffee cup onto the page and also on a spare sheet of cardstock. I cut the spare cup out and placed it on top of the cup on the Bible page. This provides a mask over the cup. I stamped a few circles from the April Showers stamp set around the cup and around the page. The circles are stamped with distress inks, which react with water. So I used a wet paintbrush around the circles. The sentiment stamps are added to the Bible page. To fill in some of the empty space, I added a few of the steam stamps. To finish the page, I added watered down paint splatters around the page. Time to remove the mask on the cup! I added a few names from the Letter to God stamp set onto the coffee cup.

Let's talk about the prize! Who wants a chance to win a $25 gift card to the Joy Clair store? All you have to do is comment on this blog and all the Joy Clair design team members' blog. The winner will be announced on the Joy Clair blog at the end of the month!

You Warm My Heart

Happy Friday, MarkerPOP friends! Are you a coffee drinker? I know that a lot of fans out there. I, however, I am not a coffee drinker, but I do love the smell of it!

Today, I am sharing a super fun card using the Mug Hugs stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps:

I used a couple different distress inks to color the background of the card. I stamped some ink onto a stamp block and used a wet paintbrush to paint on the color. Once the background dried, I stamped the cup image with a dark brown. The heart image is stamped in the center of the cup with red ink. The sentiment is stamped with a darker brown ink. I used a circle punch and placed a circle over the sentiment. I used water down brown ink and splattered randomly over the card. I used a fancy die to create the panel of the card. The panel is then attached to a white cardbase.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Sunny Studio Stamps available in the MarkerPOP store!

Joy Clair - Wild & Free Galaxy Scene

Hello, Joy Clair friends! This month, the design team is showing the different types/techniques that can be done with watercolors. If you have noticed lately, galaxy backgrounds have been very popular. I have tried this watercolor technique a few times and learning different ways to improve it.

I decided to create a scene card using the new Wild & Free stamp set and a variety of watercolor mediums.

To start the galaxy background, I used a few watered down distress inks and painted the sky portion of the panel. I used purple, black and a couple blues to create the sky.

Once the watercolor dried, I dropped a few water drops over the paint. I did this by dipping a brush in water and tapping the brush to create the water drops.

The water drops are left on the paint for a couple of minutes. When it is time to remove the water drops, simply place a paper towel over the drops and press lightly to soak up the water.

To finish the galaxy background, I added some speckles of some watered down white acrylic paint. I used the same tapping the paint brush to get the speckles.

Now it is time to complete the rest of the scene. I used ZIG Clean Color markers to color in the mountains. The mountains are cut out and attached to the scene. I used watered down distress ink to paint the water part of the scene.

The fox and the canoe are stamped in black ink and colored in with ZIG Clean Color markers. The images are cut out and attached to the scene. I used a fancy rectangle to cut out the panel. The panel is added to a fun print and mounted onto a card base.  The sentiment is stamped in white and also embossed with white embossing powder.

MarkerPOP Twinkle, Twinkle Challenge

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! Did you see that a new challenge has started over on the MarkerPOP blog? I hope you stop by and find out the details of the challenge. Below is the inspiration photo for the challenge:

I paired up a few different companies to create this card:

I started with the background by blending a few distress inks to create the scenery.  I used a few browns and yellows to create the ground and a few different blues to do the sky. The stars are cut out using a star dies. I also used a scalloped rectangle die to create the panel.

The cactus stamp was inked with two different shades of green. The images are stamped and cut out. The cacti are attached to the scenery panel.  The sentiment is done with white ink and embossing powder. The sentiment is cut out of cardstock.

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! Hope you are having a fabulous week! I am excited to share my project with you today!

I am working with the adorable Doggone It and Fur Baby stamp sets!

 

 

These dogs are 'barking' to be a part of a scene card! I used a diecut rectangle to create the scene. Using distressed inks, I blended the ink to make the sky and grass. The dog and dog bowl images are stamped and colored onto cardstock. The images are cut out and attached to the scene. The scene card is attached using foam dots to the card base. A few cloud die cuts are added to the scene. A sentiment is stamped and embossed in white on a black banner. The banner is attached to the card.
