Joy Clair Stamps August 2019 New Release Blog Hop and 5th Anniversary Celebration!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair Stamps and we are celebrating their 5th Anniversary and NEW release.  You should be coming from Josefine Fouarge blog and your next stop will be the talented Tenia Nelson. There are lots of inspiration for the new release over on Joy Clair's blog, be sure to stop over there.  To celebrate Joy Clair's 5th Anniversary there will be a chance to win one of TWO $25.00 gift cards to spend at the Joy Clair online store.  All you have to do is comment on each blog that is listed below.  If you get lost, click here to the Joy Clair's blog to get the complete list for the blog hop.

My first card, I am using the NEWLY released "Shadow of the Mighty", which is part of the Color by Faith line of stamps.  If you love to bible journal this set would look beautiful on a bible page.  I love how this set is perfect for those who love to make cards.  The technique I used for the chair is mirror stamping, below is how I mirrored the beach chair.  The background I created using distress inks, the sun I used a sunburst stencil using distressed inks.

Closer look at my card.

To create the mirrored beach chairs, I began using a media mat with the Misti.  I layed the beach chair on the media mat.  To get a clear image I used Onyx Black Versafine ink, I stamped it twice.

I then laid a piece of white cardstock on the media mat, pressed softly to get a clear image.

The image  on the right is the mirrored image and I stamped the image again on the left.  I then used my scan and cut to cut the beach chairs and the umbrella. I colored them using the Leisure Arts double ended water-based markers.  I like these markers because they have brilliant colors.  I have the pack on 60.

Here is how I added the sun to my card base.

This is how I created the sand and water to the card base.

My last card I am using the Everyday Stamp set "Wish Big".  I die cut my top panel with a stitched die cut.  Before I took the panel out of the die, I used distress ink to create the background.  I then stamped the floral image and colored the flowers and butterfly with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.  I then added the sentiment and finished the card off by adding some sequins.

Here is a closer look of the card.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired.  Please stop over to Joy Clair's blog to wish then a Happy Anniversary and see what the design team and guest designers have created.  Don't forget there are  TWO $25.00 gift cards to spend at the Joy Clair online store up for grabs.  All you have to do is comment on each blog post.

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.
