JC- Dog Gone Christmas & Calendar Fun

Hello, Joy Clair friends! Can you believe that we are almost half way through November? Where did the month go? Christmas is just around the corner! Speaking of Christmas, do you include your pets in the festivities? We always include one of the larger bones for are dog. It is so big that it sticks around for way over a month!

First up, is a project that I created using the super adorable, Dog Gone Christmas stamp set! A perfect stamp set for dog-lovers!

For this card, I wanted the dog and the dog house to pop off the card. To do so, I used a circle die to cut out the circle in the center of the card. The dog house is stamped in the center of the circle. The image is then colored in using Chameleon markers. The dog image is stamped on a separate piece of cardstock. Once the dog is colored in, the image is cut out using scissors. The dog is attached using a foam dot. To finish the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment in white.

Next up, I included a planner page I created using the new Calendar Fun stamp set:

I really love the washi stamp images included in this set stamp. I alternated stamping the tape images in red and orange inks. These washi stamps add a unique design to the planner sheet. I used the month, day, and numbers to fill out the date at the top of the page. At the bottom of the planner page there is a place to write in a quote. So I included the speech bubble image inside the box. To add more detail to the planner page, I used the Fall Leaves stamp set to decorate the empty box towards the top of the page.

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!

Funny Farm

Hello, Pink & Main friends! It is Jessi from Kissin' Krafts! Are you loving the new release from Pink & Main? If you have not seen the release, check it out HERE!

I used a couple of the new stamp sets to make this card, The Herd set and Funny Farmer set.

 

I created this scene by stamping the images and coloring them in with ZIG watercolor markers. The dirt is also created using the same watercolor markers. The fence is made with strips of brown cardstock. A simple sentiment is added to the 'white space' of the card. The scene is matted to a fun print and attached to the front of the card base.

 

Don't forget to play along with the Pink & Main Monthly challenge! This month's theme is SPRING! You can get the details HERE!

Got Milk?

Hello, Pink & Main friends! It is Jessi from Kissin' Krafts! Are you loving the new release from Pink & Main? If you have not seen the release, check it out HERE!

I used a couple of the new stamp sets to make this card, The Herd set and Banner Alpha set.

The patterned paper is part of a 6x6 paper pad. I loved the design, but was unsure of how to use it. So when I saw the adorable cow image from the The Herd set, I knew I wanted to use them together! I also used the Banner Alpha set to create the 'GOT MILK' banners. The banners are attached to a couple toothpicks and adhered to the card. I put the cow image on a pop dot to give the card some added dimension. To back up the milk bottle background, I added a strip print for the cow to 'stand' on.

It's Ruff Missing You

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Pink & Main has a release coming on the 10th! Let me say, there are some extremely adorable sets coming out! I cannot wait for you to see them!

 Today, I am working with the new free stamp set, Lucky Dog, with a purchase of $30 or more.

 

 

I wanted to the dog stamp to be the star of the card. I decided to create a simple card to make this happen. The sentiment is stamped on the strip of paper next to the image.  The prints of the other papers give the card the additional character.

 

I used this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, to bring the CAS look to the card.

 

Please check out the upcoming blog posts to see more creations using the newest Pink & Main stamps! 

 

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

 When I saw this bunny, I knew that my first card using the Happy Easter set would include this bunny! Isn't he cute???

I really wanted the bunny to be the star of the card. I used a variety of markers to color in the bunny. I created a simple background with a few printed papers and created the circle shaped card. The card needed a few more details, so I added a couple die cut eggs. The sentiment is stamped to finish the card.

Pink & Main Warm Holidays

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Today is the 10th, which means it is RELEASE DAY in the Pink & Main store! Hop on over to see the new stamp sets! They are pretty awesome!

Today, I am working with the new Warm Holiday stamp set and coordinating dies.

I really wanted to highlight the palm tree. To do so, I created the oval scene and placed on a solid white card. I had a piece of the patterned paper that had waves on one side and a light blue on the other side. I cut the oval in half and flipped over one side to create the water/sky. The palm tree is stamped on cardstock and colored in. Once I finished with the coloring, I lined up the die and cut the image out. The top of the oval was a little empty, so I decided to add the sun. The fun sentiment is stamped onto a banner diecut and added with a foam dot.

Did you hear that Pink & Main now has a challenge blog? We just started our second Our current challenge and it is all about 'Birthdays'! Pink & Main products are not required!

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!

Recently, I have seen cards with the images stamped with white onto black cardstock. I think doing this makes the images very striking. I decided to give it a go with this set. I simply stamped the baby Jesus, stable, star and sentiment in white. To make it more vibrant, I embossed with white embossing powder. To add some color to the card, I add a strip of patterned paper to the side.

Happy Fall y'all!

Happy Saturday, Pink & Main friends! Are you ready for a sneak peek of a new Pink & Main stamp set? The new release stamps will be released next week! As well as their coordinating dies!

 

Today,  I am working with the new Pink & Main Scarecrows stamp and dies.

 

The images are stamped with brown ink. The next stamp is to color them in with a variety of markers. Line up the dies with the colored images and cut out the images. To start of the scene, I used the new Borders die to create the background hill. The cornstalks and pumpkin diecuts are added to the scene. The scarecrow is attached to the card with a foam dot. To finish the card, the sentiment is stamped at the bottom of the card.

 

 

Have you heard that Pink & Main is currently holding their first challenge! It is 'Anything Goes' and there are some awesome prizes up for grabs!

Sneak Peek from Pink & Main!

Hello, Pink & Main friends! It is August! Meaning there are new stamps coming to the Pink & Main Store soon! The design team has started to give you sneak peeks of the new sets. The new release will be available for purchase next week!

Today, I am using the Pink & Main Florals stamp set for my card today!

 

 

When I first saw this stamp set, the idea of creating a stamped background was the first thing that came to mind. To do so, I started off taping off the edges to form the border around the front of the card. Using a variety of stamps and inks, stamp the images around the edge of the tape. Once the border is finished, stamp the remainder of the front. Peel off the tape to reveal the white borders. To finish the card, stamp a sentiment on a banner diecut.

Get Whale Soon!

Happy Saturday! It is my day on the Pink & Main Stamp blog! If you are unfamiliar with Pink & Main, you need to check out their shop! Their images are awesome to work with. They are easy to color and even easier to paper-piece!

Today's card is using the new Whale of a Time stamp set, from the upcoming June release!

 

 

This whale is adorable! It is stamped onto a gray print and cut out. I chose to use chevron print for the water.  Using an Exact-o knife, I cut along the edges of the blue chevron. This allowed the whale to slip into the paper, making it look like it was swimming in the water.  To finish the card, I stamped the simple sentiment onto a banner diecut and added some enamel dots.

 

 I hope you enjoyed today's card! It uses just one of the amazing stamp sets being released this month!

Thank you for stopping by!
