Joy Clair August Blog Hop Day 1

Hello, Joy Clair friends! Welcome to the first day of the Joy Clair August Blog Hop! Today the design team will be showcasing some of the newest Everyday stamp sets. You should be arriving for the super talented Stephanie's blog. If you just happened upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, hop on over to the Joy Clair blog.

Today, I am showcasing the new Ugly Sweater stamp set.

This card is super easy to recreate! It all starts with a piece of Kraft cardstock. I took different border stamps from the Ugly Sweater stamp set and stamped each on using white ink. I repeated this step until the card front is full. For the sentiment, I used a simple word die cut from red cardstock. To add a little bling to the card, I used a gold enamel dot for the I.

Let's talk prizes!!!!

Joy Clair October Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joy Clair October Release Blog Hop! Joy Clair is releasing some amazing new stamp sets today!



The design team has been working hard with some new creations to show the new sets off! You should be arriving from Martha's blog.. If you are stopping by my blog and would like to start at the beginning, please stop by the Joy Clair blog.

Joy Clair’s October release contains four stamp sets, two everyday sets and two sets from their bible journaling line, Color by Faith!

All the stamps from this release will be on sale starting today.

Today I am showing off the new Color by Faith's Away in a Manger.

I love the CAS style, On my cards, scrapbook pages, and even my Bible pages. Today's page is very simple to re-create. I stamped the image onto the paper and colored in with colored pencils. The bible verse is stamped above Baby Jesus. This was what my original plan for the page was. However, I felt the page needed something else. I added the star image and colored a variety of yellows to show it shining. The page is complete with the date stamp.

Now let’s talk about the grand prize! There will be TWO winners from the blog hop. Each winner will receive $25 Joy Clair gift certificate. WHAT A PRIZE!!!

1. Comment on the Joy Clair blog and the blogs of each participate along the way!

I paired up the fun DieVersion Baby Boy Bootie die, DL Art Baby Bundle ribbon and Joy Clair's Oh, Baby stamp set with fun papers from Pebbles. I decided to use a variety of prints of pinks to make a girl card.

 

 

The baby boy bootie die is attached to a circle cut out and added to the card front. I wrapped the ribbon around the card and slipped a printed paper for the sentiment towards the bottom of the card. This is a very simple card to recreate and easy to switch to a card for a baby boy!

You're My Best Bud

Hello, Pretty Cute Stamp fans! I cannot believe that it is Thursday already? Where is this week going? I know that I have been outside more enjoying the Spring weather, have you?

I am working with the adorable Spring Flowers stamp set.

 

 

I used an stitched die to create the rectangle. On the rectangle, I stamped the scene using a flower, grass, and butterfly images from the Spring Flowers stamp set. I colored in the scene using Chameleon markers. The rectangle is attached to the middle of a card base. The simple sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card.  

 

Thank you for stopping by today!

Joy Clair - Armor of God

Hello, Joy Clair friends!  Hoping you are having a wonderful week! With this being Holy Week, I am sure finding lots of Bible journaling pages from the week's readings. The week has been super busy, hoping to get to sit down and complete a few pages later today.

Today, I am working with the new set, Armor of God, from the Color by Faith series.



Here is the ible journaling page using this inspiring stamp set:

This was a very simple page to create. I first stamped the knight image onto the page. Once the ink dried, I used ZIG watercolor markers to color in the image. The simple phrase is stamped at the top of the page and I added yellow watercolor rays to highlight the words.

Sending Warm Hugs

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Sometimes a simple hug can make your worries disappear, at least for me it works. But what happens if someone you care about is in need of a hug, but lives so far away? You can still send them hugs!

 Today, I am working with the Hugs Needed stamps and coordinating dies.

 

 

This CAS card allows the sentiment to pop off the card. I created a blank white mat and stamped the word 'HUGS' in a light blue ink. I used the coordinating die to cut the word out in a darker blue and layered the die slightly off of the stamp to create the shadow effect. The rest of the sentiment is stamped with black ink. A few sequins are added to the card. The white mat is attached to a light blue mat and attached to the card base.

 

 

 

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

Joy Clair - Just Kitten

 Hello, Joy Clair friends!  I am excited to be sharing one of my latest Joy Clair projects with you today! You can check out the new release HERE!

Today, I am working with the new stamp set, Just Kitten.




And my card using this fun stamp set:

I really enjoy larger images. They are super easy to color in. I stamped the image in black ink and colored with a variety of markers. The image is cut out and set aside. I wanted to create a scenery card, so the background is made using a cloud printed paper. A strip of green cardstock is cut with a fringe edge for the grass and attached to the cloud print. The cat image is attached using a foam dot. The sentiment is stamped onto a banner diecut and attached at the top of the card.

Pink & Main - Bunny Costume Card

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Before you know it, it will be Easter. I love walking the stores and seeing all the home décor and of course, the Easter candy! So with all the inspiration gathered, I came home to create a card using a new Pink & Main stamp set!

 Today, I am working with the Bunny Costume stamp set and coordinating dies.

 

I am in the middle of purging my craft supplies. As I notice all the supplies I actually have, I set a goal for me to use up my papers. In this process, I found some Easter prints from last year. So I used them to create this card. A few different dies were used to create the scene. The Easter bunny is stamped and colored in with markers. The simple sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card. I finished the card by rounding the corners.

 

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