Joy Clair Turns 4 Blog Hop

Did you know that Joy Clair is celebrating their 4th birthday?!? I am excited to be able to participate in this super fun blog hop to celebrate! 

You should be arriving from the super talented, Kerry's blog. Just in case you just happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning of the hop, hop on over to Martha's blog! 

I had the privilege on being one of the first design team members for Joy Clair Stamps. It has been a fun adventure to watch them grow. I really have enjoyed watching how they bloomed into Bible Journaling. So I figured it was only fitting to share a couple new pages with you, using some of their newer stamps.

First up is a page using the Washed by the Blood stamp set:

This simple page was created by stamping the images in black ink. To create the bath scene I used the masking technique. There were a few empty spaces, so I drew in some extra bubbles. The scene is colored in using ZIG Clean Color markers. A few of the word stamps from the stamp set are stamped across the page.

Next up, is the page using the Gnome is Where the Heart Is stamp set:

It is not too often that I do a 2 page layout. I find the added space to be challenging! I stamped the mushroom and gnome images using black ink. The background is created by blending chalk ink. The images are colored in with ZIG Clean Color markers. The fence is colored in using a paint marker. To fill in the wide empty space, I used a variety of alpha stickers to highlight the verse.

Your next stop on the hop is to the talented, Helen's blog! Now onto the exciting news...prizes!

Joy Clair November Release Blog Hop

Hello, Joy Clair friends! I am super excited for the new Joy Clair release! Today, the design team is showcasing the different stamp sets in a fun blog hop! If you are hopping along already, you should be arriving from the talented Kerry's blog. If you just happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning, please hop on over to the Joy Clair's blog.

Today, I am showing a Bible Journaling page using the new Jesus is My Jam stamp set!

When I first saw this stamp set, my first thought was of the 80's. And when I think about the 80's, I think about the neon colors that were popular. So I gathered up a variety of bright fun paints to complete this page.

I brushed on each color one at a time with the tip of the paintbrush...allowing the paint to dry in between each color. When I was done with all the colors, I filled in some of the small spots. I wanted to stamp the words and images on top of the painted section. Once the ink dried, it was time to create the title of my page. I did this by using a variety of alpha letters and stickers.

Let's start the fun with the creativity and remember that we always have prizes for our readers and visitors that comment HERE in our corporate blog and in ALL the designer blogs during the hop.

Just left your comments and tell us which is your favorite stamp set of each day!

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 and Imagine Blog Hop

Hello, crafty friends! Today is a super fun day! It is the first day of the Joy Clair and Imagine Blog Hop. The design teams from both companies have joined in a for special 2 day blog hop! You should be arriving from the talented, Neva's blog! If you just happened upon the blog hop and would like to start from the beginning, hop on over to the Imagine blog.

Joy Clair has a line of faith-based stamps, Color by Faith. I have decided to put together a couple of Bible pages using the Color by Faith stamps and some delicious Imagine products.

First up, I have paired the God's Treasure stamp set and Imagine's irRESTible - gold.

I love the shine that the irRESISTible leaves. It reminded me of jewelry, so I stamped the jewel images along the side of the page. Once the ink was dried, I filled in the image with the gold irRESISTible, giving the finished product a shiny coat. The phrase is stamped in Memento - Tuxedo Black ink and the dotted lines are stamped using Memento - London Fog.

Next up, I paired the Stained Glass Prayer stamp set and Imagine's Fireworks products.

I used Memento - Tuxedo Black to stamp the design images along the side of the Bible page. I used the following Fireworks: Lilac Posies, Cottage Ivy, and Rose Bud to color in the images. I poured some of the product out onto a clear stamp block. Using a small paintbrush, I colored in the images. I love the shimmer that the Fireworks leave once they are dried. (I had a hard time capturing the shimmer in the photos.)

Let's talk about prizes!

Be sure to leave comments during these two days of hop so you can be entered to win a one of two $25 Joy Clair Stamps Gift Cards or one of two $25 Gift Cards from Imagine!!! Joy Clair winners will be announced on the Joy Clair Blog at the end of the month and Imagine winners will be announced on the Imagine Blog.

DCWV & Eileen Hull Blog Hop

Hello, friends! I am joining the DCWV and Eileen Hull blog hop today. You can see the design team members' projects on the DCWV blog and the Eileen Hull blog.

Today, I used the Eileen Hull Twist & Style tool and the DCWV Cranberry Christmas stack to create some simple tree ornaments.

To begin the project, I used a star shape die and cut two of each print. I covered one star with adhesive on the back side of the paper.  I attached some of the twisted wire in a hoop shape. I attached the second star to create the ornament.

A stitched circle die cut is attached to the front of the star.

To finish the ornament, I used die cut words and attached on top of the circle. Such an easy ornament to recreate!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!

Inspired by Stamping November Release Blog Hop

Hello, friends! I am excited to be a guest designer for Inspired by Stamping. I am joining them for the month of November. First up is their November Release blog hop.

If you have been hopping along with them, you should be arriving from the talented Linsday's blog. If you happened upon my blog and would like to start at the beginning, you can start at Joanna's blog.

Inspired by Stamping is releasing three stamp sets this month. First up is the new Snowflakes stamp set. I have two projects today showing how you can use this amazing stamp set.

I love to emboss snowflakes. I decided to use white embossing powder on a navy cardstock. This allows the snowflakes to really pop off the project. To start this project, a banner diecut is cut out of the cardstock. I stamped the different snowflake images onto the cardstock and covered it with the embossing powder. Some loose powder is sprinkled over the empty spaces. A heat gun is used to heat up the powder. The sentiment is stamped onto a diecut and the same embossing technique was used. A pretty blue twine was added beneath the sentiment. I used the navy ribbon from the __________ ribbon set to from the tag.

I used the same embossing technique on this card, but with gold powder. The sentiment is added to a strip of cardstock and attached to the front of the card. I layered the embossed cardstock on top of a striped vellum piece of paper.

Did you see the amazing giveaway going on? Make sure you comment along the way for your chance to win!

There is also a great promotion going on in the shop!

DCWV & Chameleon Blog Hop

Hello, DCWV friends! Today, I am teaming up with a few other design team members from DCWV and Chameleon for a super fun Friend Friday blog hop.  If you are not familiar with Chameleon Markers, you can check them out HERE!

I was super excited when I learned about this blog hop. I love my Chameleon markers and have been using them for a while! I was excited to try out some new colors. I received their Color Tones Skin Tone set to play with. I knew exactly what stamp I wanted to use! So it was time to pair it up with some beautiful DCWV paper!

I decided to pair up the Chameleon markers with the DCWV Happy Day Stack. To start the layout, I stamped the image onto different cardstocks and prints to paper-piece the image together. I used the markers to color in the image.  I wanted the layout showcase a lot of the prints from the stack, so I created several layers using the different prints.

I used simple, gold alpha stickers to create the title of the layout, I wanted to highlight the gold accents throughout some of the prints.

Please stop by the DCWV blog and the Chameleon blog to see some more amazing creations created for this blog hop!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
