Joy Clair Stamps with the Cutting Edge

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair Stamps and we are collaborating with The Cutting Café the whole month of April.  Be sure to check out the Joy Clair blog for more inspiration!  The great thing about the Cutting Café is you don't have to have a cutting machine, the designs come in all different types of files and you can just print it on your printer and cut the design out.  Each design has instruction on how to put your project together.  How fun is that! 

I have used the cutting file called Coffee Cup Holder template, I used my silhouette to cut the file.  I used a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock from my stash to cut all the pieces I needed to put my cup holder together.

I then used a strong adhesive liquid glue to adhere all my pieces together.

Here are the two square boxes needed to put the cups in.

I then adhered the two handles together and adhered the handle to both sides of the boxes.

I cut the two stripes out of designer paper and adhered it around the cup holder.

I used my scan and cut to cut two solid coffee cup wrappers.  I stamped them with the Joy Clair Coffee to Go Background stamp and adhered them to each cup.

Here is the cup holder put together with the coffee cups inside.  I decorated the outside of the cup using Joy Clair Stamp set Easter Greetings.  I colored the flowers using copic markers and stamped the black veramark ink.

Another view of the coffee cup holder.  Inside I filled the cups with candy.  I bought the 12 oz cups from Party City.

Here is a closer look at the cups, the wrapper around the cup, I stamped with Coffee to Go Background stamp, the images on the cup I stamped with black memento ink and colored them with copics.  The cute chick on the left is from the Joy Clair Happy Easter stamp set.  TheEaster eggs on the right cup and the sentiment on both of the cups is from the Joy Clair Easter Eggs stamp set. 



I hope I have inspired you and you get busy working on some Easter projects for your friends and family.  The Cutting Edge has lots of projects for Easter and other occasions.  Be sure to stop by their store.



Joy Clair - Happy Easter!

Hello everyone!


It's Donna here, can you believe it is almost Spring!  Well, here in Virginia, I think the weather is confused.  We have had high 60's to 70 degree weather.  I really feel the Spring is here because my allergies are in full swing....I had to bring out the Flonase and Allegra!  However, this morning on the news I heard we might have snow showers on Friday....stay tuned!
So, onto my card.  I am featuring the Joy Clair Happy Easter set.  This set was released last February 2016.  This set is a great set to own, there are several images and a couple of sentiments.  If you would like to see what I did last year with this set, click here.  I colored the bunny in gray last year, so I decided to color him brown this year.  What color would you have colored him?  There are endless possibilities with this set!  Also, search for this set on the Joy Clair blog for more inspiration.

Here is how I put my card together:

1. My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2),
2.  I dried embossed the background with my big shot,
3. I used the SVG file that you get free when you purchase any of the Joy Clair stamp sets,
4. I stamped the image with Black Memento Ink and colored him with copics - using copic colors E31, E35, E57 and E79,
5. I stamped the sentiment with versamark, added some white embossing powder and heat embossed it,
6. I cut a 1/2 inch piece of design paper and angled it and angled the black embossed piece and added the stripes to my card. 
7. I finished my card off by adding some enamel dots.
