Joy Clair Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello, friends! Are you ready for another Coffee Lovers Blog Hop? It is truly amazing how big this blog hop gets! So many talented designers decided to join in the fun!

Today, I am using Joy Clair's Coffee Lovers for this Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop:

I decided to paper piece the large coffee cup for today's card. I stamped the image onto several different prints and cut out the individual sections. Once all the pieces are cut, I assembled them onto the vellum. The sentiment is stamped and embossed at the bottom of the vellum. The vellum is then attached to a soft pink print. The pink panel is attached to the back panel of the card. I love all the layers!

Let's talk about prizes!

Joy Clair is giving away a $25.00 gift certificates to their store! All you have to is comment on each of our design teams blog and the Joy Clair blog. The winner will be announced on the Joy Clair blog. You have until June 30th to leave your comments.

Hop on over to the Joy Clair blog to see the rest of our design team's creations!

Llama Tell You...

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! It is Jessi here. "Llama tell you"...I am loving all the llamas everywhere! Now, they might not be the cutest animal in reality, but they are super cute on papers and stamps! They make some adorable and sometimes silly cards!

I love paper-piecing! So today's card focuses on that technique instead of using markers to color the image.

Today's card showcases the super adorable Gerda Steiner Designs' Llama Tell You stamp set:

I had a paper pad that included some llama images. So I decided to use the paper pad and complete the card by paper-piecing. The stamp images are stamped on a variety of prints and cut out. The llama image is completed with 2 different prints. The cactus is stamped on a fun blue print and cut out. The background sun is created by a circle die. The ground layer is created with a wavy border die. Some many fun prints to complete this card!

No markers were used on today's card, but stop by the MarkerPOP blog for the list of supplies used on this card!

What a chance to win some prizes? Join us on the current MarkerPOP challenge! We cannot wait to see what you create!

Psst... DCWV No Problem, Llama 12 x12 paper pad was used on today's card.

Reach for the Sky

Hello, MarkerPOP friends! It is Jessi here. Today I am sharing a sweet card with you today. I am working with the Hampton Arts' Reach for the Sky stamp set. This stamp set would make very cute baby cards. But today, I am using it for a kid's encouragement card. We all have seen our kids in moments were they need our extra support to calm them down.

Why not give them a little extra love with a handmade card!

The stamp set includes a few different adorable animal images. I stamped a few of them onto white watercolor cardstock and colored then in with a variety of ZIG Clean Color markers. The cloud image is stamped onto some printed paper, for some paper piecing. The images are attached to a printed panel. The sentiment is stamped on the bottom left corner of the card. To fill in some of the empty space, I stamped and colored the moon image  and attached to the card.

I used the following ZIG Clean Color markers on this card: 050, 060, 061, 098

Please hop on over to the MarkerPOP blog for the list of supplies used today!

Be sure to stop by and play along with our current challenge! It is an easy way to enter for your chance to win some amazing craft supplies!

Joy Clair - Designer Labels Bible Page

Hello, Joy Clair friends! I am happy you stopped by today. For the month of March, the Joy Clair design team is pulling out some of the order stamp sets and making some new projects with them.

One of the stamp sets that I choose to work with Designer Label's from the Color by Faith stamp line:

One of my favorite stamp techniques is paper-piecing. I love to stamp images onto printed papers and piece the images back together for a pretty outcome. The dress image in the Designer Labels stamp set is perfect for this technique.

To start this project, I stamped the dress image onto a variety of prints, as well as the alphas that were going to be used on the pages.

**Tip** If you find pairing up prints challenging, work with paper pads. The companies make sure that each print works with each other. Makes our job very easy when pairing up prints!

I had a vision for the page, but during the process, I decided to make the layout spread over 2 Bible pages. So below is the first page:

The dress is created by using two different prints. The bottom layer was stamped on a purple print. The top layer is stamped on a floral print and cut slightly short, so you can see the different layers of the dress.

The letters are stamped onto different prints. At first, I was planning on adding the alphas to the page, but decided to add them to a printed strip to make the letters pop more. To make the first page flow to the next page, I used a diecut arrow to point in to the directions.

I used a pocket card from the paper pad and stamped the words from the Designer Labels stamp set onto. The rest of the page is pieced together with a variety of printed papers and word/alpha stickers.

I love of the mixture of pinks and blues look on the 2 pages. Such an elegant combination to use in the Bible.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Today I am showing off the new Color by Faith's Joyful Noise:

With the guitar image being so big, I thought it would be fun to paper piece the image into the Bible. I stamped the image onto a pretty print and cut the image out. I cut out a green printed paper and attached to the margin of the Bible. On top of the green paper, I added a pink strip. The guitar image is then attached to the page. I stamped the verses from the Joyful Noise set at the top of the page.  Paper piecing makes for a quick and simple page and I don't have to test my coloring skills!!!

Today's card uses the following stamp sets: April Showers, Let the Light Shine, and Raise your Glass.

Pink & Main Anything Goes Challenge

Hello, Pink & Main friends! Who is ready for another Pink & Main Monthly Challenge? This month we are going with a very simple theme, and one of my favorites, ANYTHING GOES!

May is my birthday month, so I decided to make a super cute birthday card, using the adorable Dinomite stamp set.

I fell in love with this fun collection from Echo Park! I also wanted to pair it up with a the Dinomite stamp set. I took the image that matched the papers and colored with green markers. The image is cut out and set aside. I layered several prints to form the front of the card. The dinosaur image is attached to the top panel. The balloon is paper-pieced to the card. The sentiment is stamped onto a banner diecut and the card. A sticker embellishment is added using a foam pop dot.

Joy Clair - Hoppy Birthday

Hello, Joy Clair friends! 

 I am excited to be sharing one of my latest Joy Clair projects with you today!

Today, I am working with the new stamp set, Hoppy Birthday!



And my card using this fun stamp set:

 

 

I stamped this fun frog image and colored in with ZIG watercolor markers. I picked out a variety of prints from a 6x6 paper pad, so the prints were made to coordinate with each other. I cut out a piece of green to make it look like a lily pad. I used blue prints for the water and sky.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is to make a project that is not a card!

 



I have been sitting on a few of these burlap sacks, so I decided to break them out and make a gift bag using the new Grow stamp set!
 

 

This bag would be great to give a few seed packets to your favorite gardener. So I decided to create a panel with a scene from a garden. I used a variety of prints to create the scene. I also used a variety of prints to stamp the images on and cut out. The scene is pieced together and attached to the front of the bag.

Pretty Cute Stamps Monthly Challenge - Include a Ribbon

Today starts a new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge! This month the challenge is to include a ribbon on you project.

 



I used to use ribbon on my cards a lot. However, I then moved to twine and then nothing. So to make sure I used ribbon on my project, the easiest thing for me to do is to make a tag.

 

 

I decided to use a fancy die to create the tag. I used the die on printed paper and plain cardstock. The two pieces are glued together. I used the Knit Happens stamp set and paper-pieced the image with a variety of papers. A simple sentiment is stamped on strips of paper and attached to the tag.

Pink and Main Baby Bear Card

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! With the holidays around the corner, I am sure that you were expecting a festive project. With all the Fall/Holiday projects I have been making, I needed a break!

My cousin is expecting her first child in the next few days.  So today, I used Pink & Main's Animal Faces, Sweet Faces Set 1, and Little One stamp sets to create a fun baby card.

 

 

 

 

I used a pretty tan print paper and stamped the bear image. I also stamped the same image on pink paper, to paper-piece the bear's ears. I used some stitched rectangle dies to create the sign. The sentiment is from the Little One stamp set. I used a few different prints to form the layers to the card and attached to the teal card base.

 

 

 

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

Pink & Main Nut House

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends!

 

Today,  I am working with the new Pink & Main Nut House stamps and coordinating dies. This set is full of adorable images and fun sentiments.

 

 When I saw the nut house image, I knew I wanted to make it into a shaped card. To start the card, I used the die to create the card base. To help with the alignment, I stamped the image onto the front of the card. The next step is to start the task of paper-piecing the nut house. To accomplish this step, I stamped the house image on several different prints. Once the pieces are cut out, the next step is to piece it together. To add alittle something to the card, I added one of the cute squirrel images to the outside of the house.

 

 

Also, Pink & Main has a new Facebook group to share your Pink & Main Creations Gallery! We would love for you to join in the fun!

 

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Pretty Cute Stamps - Thanksgiving Eats

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamps friends! Who else is ready for fall? I know that it is around the corner. I cannot wait for the weather. And most of all the food!

For today's card, I am using the new Thanksgiving Eats stamp set.

Thanksgiving Eats

I love the cute food images in this set. Perfect for coloring and even more perfect for paper-piecing!

Sometimes I have a hard time determining if certain prints go together with each other. So to make that task easier, I love using 6x6 paper pads.  To paper-piece the images, I started off stamping the images on several different prints. Once all the images are cut out, it is time to assemble the images together using the different prints. 

Did you see the new Pretty Cute Stamps Challenge? This month's challenge is to 'Include a Button'. Check out the details, HERE!
