Joy Clair - Hope

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair Stamps with one of the newly released stamp sets called Hope.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This set is a great set to create a card and send to someone for encouragement.  There are great sentiments and images in this set that you will definitely use over and over again.

This month the design team is using Leisure Arts products. I am using the Double Ended Markers to color the ribbon.  My card is a tall card, I stamped the images and sentiment from the Hope stamp set and then die cut them out with a square die and adhered it to my card.

Joy Clair and Thermoweb Collaboration!

Hello everyone!


Welcome to the Joy Clair Stamps and Thermoweb's collaboration!  Therm-o-web foils and other products are so versatile, I love the many creations you can create.  The design team has some wonderful creations so be sure to hop over to the Joy Clair Stamps Blog to get plenty of inspiration.  I am using the following stamp sets in my creations for you today. 

Proverbs 31

Friends and Flowers

Here is my first card:

I am using the Joy Clair Stamps Proverbs 31 which is part of the Color by Faith line of stamps and the Friends and Flowers.  From Therm-o-web I am using the Deco Foil Shattered Glass on my card.

Here is how I put this card together:

1.  My card is an A2 card,

2.  I cut a panel at 4 x 51/2 and added double stick tape to the panel, using the grid paper as my guide.  I used the distress inks and added it to my panel.  

3.  I removed the covering from the double stick tape,

4.  I cut the deco foil "Rainbow Shattered Glass" to the panel, 

5.  I varnished the deco foil onto my panel and removed the foil.  I love this technique.  I love the background panel and the distress inks match the foil perfect.  

6.  I stamped the floral image twice from the Proverbs 31 stamp set.  I colored them with Tri-blend Spectrum Noir pens, cut them out using my scan and cut.  The sentiment is from the Friends and Flowers stamp set.

My next project I am using the Joy Clair Stamp set Friends and Flowers.  I colored the image with copics.  I cut it out using my scan and cut.  The background is by Therm-o-web using the Brutus Monroe Designer Toner Sheets-Double Dots.  I used my minc to transfer the Brutus Monroe foiled transfer sheet Green Sketch.  

My last project, I am using the Joy Clair Stamp set Heir of God, which is part of the Color by Faith line of stamps.  I stamp the image and colored it with copics, the sentiment is from the Many Blessings stamp set.  I used the deco foil transfer gel with a stencil.  I cut my panel at 3 7/8 x 5, I used the Therm-o-web Pixie Spray to adhere the stencil on my panel.  I added the deco foil transfer gel with a pallet knife.  I let the gel dry and then added deco foil "Rainbow Shattered Glass" using my minc.  

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired.  Please stop over to Joy Clair's blog and see all the wonderful designs from the design team.

Hello everyone!

I am  here with Joy Clair stamps featuring the newly released stamp set from the Everyday set "Going Places".  The sun is from the Bible Journaling set called "God Promises".  Be sure to stop on to see all the wonderful designs the design team has created with these sets.

My card today is an A2 size card.  I die cut two layers measuring 4 x 51/2 and 3 3/4 x 5.  The top layer I stamped the balloon with black memento from the "Going Places" stamp set and used some masking tape to mask it to create clouds in the background.  I then colored the balloon in with copics.  I stamped the sun with yellow ink and colored it in with copics.  On another piece of paper I stamped the smaller balloons from the "Going Places" stamp set and added the sentiments inside.  I then colored them with copics and cut them out using my scan and cut.  I adhered them to my card and masked them to add the strings.  I added the sentiment from the "Going Places" stamp set and finished the card off by using some wink of stella to make the balloons sparkle.  I love adding sparkle to my card designs.
