Back with Joy Clair

Friday, October 20, 2017

Hello everyone!

 I am back again with Joy Clair!  I am showcasing today the Color by Faith - Bible Journaling collection "Faith Quotes".  This set has some amazing quotes that are perfect for bible journaling, but also for making a quick card.  My card is an A2 card, I die cut the top layer with a Rectangle Stitched die, I then used a few Circle Stitched die and cut them out randomly.  I then die cut some stitched circles from the Rinea paper foil and added them to the die cut circles on the card.  I stamped the sentiment from the Joy Clair Faith Quotes stamp set and die cut it out with a stitched circle and used foam tape to pop it up on my card.

My next card, I had so much fun creating!  The stamp set is another release from last month from Joy Clair called  "Out of this World".  It is a box card die that I used from Lawn Fawn.  I die cut three of the pieces and put the box together.  I used a sheet of paper measuring 5x8 and distressed the paper using Tim Holtz distressing inks.  I splattered some water, white and black distress paint and Sheer Shimmer Sparkle onto the distressed piece of paper so that it could look like the galaxy.  I then used the dies from the box card and die cut the sides out of the paper I distressed and adhered them to the box.  The top of the box where the scallops are, I made a interactive piece so Saturn can move around the card.  I colored all the elements using copics from the Joy Clair "Out of this World".  I used clear acetate to place the elements in the box card.

Closer look at the box card.


Here I wanted you to see the bottom of the box card.

A Blog Named Hero and Lawn Fawn Critters

Monday, October 16, 2017



Hello everyone!

I am back again with A Blog Named Hero and Lawn Fawn!  I love making Halloween and Fall cards, so I am sharing a Halloween card with you today.  If you have not had a chance to join in on the challenge this month, please do....it's all about Critters.

I am using the Lawn Fawn dies and stamps trick or treat border, happy howloween, Spooktacuar, stitched hillside backdrop: portrait, and perfectly plaid chill petite paper pack.  The sentiment at the bottom is  Hero Arts Celebrate Everyday.

My card is an A2 card, I die cut the hillside backdrop with black card stock, I die cut the fence with white card stock and added it to the background and used the perfectly plaid paper pad paper for the background.  I colored all the images with copics and die cut them and added them to the card.  I finished the card off by adding the trick or treat border.


Closer look at the card:

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card. Thank you  Lawn Fawn for collaborating with A Blog Named Hero! I really enjoyed working with your products!
