Joy Clair - Embossing and Bible Journaling

Hello, Joy Clair friends! Today I am excited to share my latest Bible page with you. I have tried to using embossing powder on a page before. My gun ended up getting too hot and turning the page brown. So I spent some time trying to figure out how to work my gun with the thin pages in the Bible. I believe that I finally figured it out and love how this page turned out!

Today I am showcasing the adorable Color by Faith's Be Brave stamp set:

When I start a page, I like to begin with positioning the stamps to get an idea of what I want the page to look like. Once this is done, it allows me a better idea of where to put my paint. The larger painted areas and for the different phrases. The paint lines are were the different arrows will be stamped.

Now it is time to stamp and emboss! One by one, I stamp the images on top of the painted area. Right away, I add the embossing powder and heat with the heat gun. (I let my gun heat up before I aim it towards the page. Once I move to the page, I move the gun in a circle motion to hit the entire embossed area.) I repeat this process until all the images are complete.

To finish the page, I added some paint swatches of gold.

ADORNit ArtPlay Bible Page

Hello, ADORNit friends! How is your Thursday going? One day closer to the weekend! And what a weekend to look forward to! Our first fall temperature weekend here near the Gulf of Mexico.

Today, I have a fun Bible page to share with you today. I paired up some of ADORNit stickers with one of their ArtPlay Paintables.

So I started this page with the simple paintable. I used a variety of markers to color in the image. I used washi tape to attach the ArtPlay paintable card into the Bible. I felt the page needed a little more, so I used some of ADORNit's floral stickers. The stickers include individual pieces of the flower, allowing you to build your own flower. I used a few extra pieces to fill in the empty spaces on the page.

Please stop by the ADORNit Amazon store to see their latest collections!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Pinch Me...Gallery Idol Top 20!!!

It's Friday! And a holiday weekend! Does it get any better? 

I am super excited to share some wonderful news I received this morning! Our you a fan of Papercraft & Scrapbooking Magazine? (If not, check out their website and it won't be long before you become a fan!) Each year they hold a contest card 'Gallery Idol'. Similar to American Idol, with a number of rounds until they eventually crown a winner. So I decided to give it a try this year. The first round theme was Washi Tape. (A craft supply that I do not use very often.)

Over 200 designers submitted their cards and the top 20 were announced this morning! I am still in complete shock that my name is on that list!!! Check out the lucky 20 talented designers HERE. You will not be sorry, they are all very inspiring!

So here is my card I created using Washi Tape:

As you can see, I decided to make a washi banner. Not very original, so I tried to find a unique use for the washi tape. After several attempts (and disasters), I decided to use the tape as a masking agent and LOVED how it made the sentiment POP.

I used the following supplies on this card:

Stamps: Winnie & Walter Stamps - The Big, The Bold and You

Tape: Solid Yellow

Twine: Trendy Twine - Totally White

Ink: Assorted ColorBox Brights and Memento Tuxedo Black

So my task for the next couple of days is to make a card with the Round 2 theme - die-cutting! I hope you come back on Monday when the voting begins!!!

Have a wonderful and safe weekend!

Jessi
