Joy Clair - Let's Celebrate

Hello everyone,

I am here with Joy Clair with a birthday card to share with you.  It's the summer time, and it just seems like everyone's birthday is during the summer months.  My granddaughters have lots of birthday party's to attend!

Here is my card I have to share with you today.  It's a cute birthday card that is perfect for a child.  The set is called "Let's Celebrate, it has lots of images you can use.  This set is very versatile.  I chose to just use the balloons on my card today.

Here is a closer look at it....do you see the shimmer?  I used some Shimmer Sparkle spray to get the shine.  

Here is how I put my card together:

1.  An A2 card,

2.  I masked my card off so I would have the distress color in the center of my card,

3.  I added some of the images to my card with ink,

4.  I sprayed my card with Shimmer Spray,

5.  I then cut the balloons out using my Silhouette,

6.  I colored them using Copic markers - these are the colors I used:

R81, 83, 85,  Y17, Y38, YR68, and BV05, 07, 09,

7.  After the Shimmer dried, I adhered the two balloons to the card and added the middle one with dimensionals,

8.  I finished off my card by adding the sentiment.

Joy Clair - Celebrate!

Hello everyone!


I hope you all have had a nice weekend and have had some time off to celebrate with your family Independence Day, if you live in the USA!  I am enjoying my long weekend with my family.  I hope to see the fireworks somewhere tomorrow, how about you?

I am here with Joy Clair, I am featuring one of the most recent new background stamp Grungy Flag.  If you have not seen all the beautiful designs the team has created, please stop by the Joy Clair blog to see them.  The sentiment is from the Joy Clair stamp Let's Celebrate.  This is a perfect stamp you can use for any occasion.  There is a girl image on this set and you can easily have her holding a flag for Independence Day!

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card, I used my Misti to stamp the background image from the Grungy Flag background stamp.  I inked the flag up with red and blue at the same time and stamp it on my paper.  I think I stamped it about 3 times before I got the look I wanted (thank goodness for my Misti).  I added my sentiment at an angle.  If you can see I have a tool called a paper distresser made by Tim Holtz (tonic) and I distressed my edges so it would look grungy like the flag.  I adhered all my layers together and finished the card off by adding the star embellishments. 

If you have not had a chance to join the "anything goes" challenge, please take a minute and join.  Joy Clair will be giving away one $25 gift card to the Joy Clair Store, randomly selected to give everyone a chance to win.

Joy Clair - Let's Celebrate

Hello everyone!

Here is my card.  This month theme for the design team is masking.  I will tell you how I created my card below.  

How I put my card together:

1.  A2 card 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
2.  The black cardstock measures 4 x 5 1/4,
3.  The top piece of cardstock measures 3 7/8 x 5,
4.  I stamped the image on the white piece of cardstock, I then made a mask out of wide masking low tack tape and covered the stamped image and stamped my balloons.  I then stamped the round balloon and masked it with the low tack tape and stamped the balloon and star.

This is what it looked like after I took the masking off.

I also masked the present.  

5.  I paper pierced the dress, pockets and the bottom trim,
6.  I colored all the images with copics.
7.  I added the sentiments and used the SVG and stamped the cupcake and colored it with copics and used foam tape to pop it up on my card.
