Joy Clair - It's the Season Event

Hello everyone!

Thank you for stopping by to join the Joy Clair "It's the Season" Event.  The design team is sharing some holiday cards for your inspiration.  I am using the newly released set called "Snowy Greetings".  This is such a cute set, it has a set of snowmen in it and a stand alone one with several sentiments.

Here is my card and how I created it.

My card is an A2 card, I die cut a frame for the snowman and cut a panel for the back.  I used the snow stamp in the Snowy Greetings set and stamped it using some white pigment ink.  I used my scan and cut to cut the snowmen out, colored them with copics, I added clear wink of stella on the scarfs,  and ebony nuvo drops on the snowmen's eyes.  I used a snow marker to add some puffy snow on the snowmen caps.  I used foam tape to pop the snowmen on the card.

Joy Clair - Christmas Poinsettia

Hello everyone!

I am here with Joy Clair featuring the newly release Everyday set called "3d Christmas Poinsettia".  This set is an amazing set it is a 6x8 set.  There are several petals to layer the poinsettia and many sentiments and elements to decorate your card.  This would be perfect for your Christmas cards!

Here is how I put my card together:

1. My card is an A2 size card,
2. I cut a black and pink piece of card stock 4 x 5 and die cut the design on the bottom, I cut about an 1/8 inch on the three sides of the pink card stock so they were layered,
3. I stamped the three larger petals of the poinsettia and leaves (2) with versamark on vellum paper, I added some white embossing powder and heat set them,
4.  I colored the backside of each petals and leaves with copics,
5.  I then adhered the leaves on the card, and then used pop dots in the middle of each set of petal,
6.  I then stamped some of the twigs from the set with versamark and added white embossing powder and heat set them,
7.  I then added some gold NUVO around the twigs and in the middle of the poinsettia,
8.  I then stamped the sentiment "Noel" with versamark and added black embossing powder and heat set it.

CHRISTMAS CARD CHALLENGE BLOG - #12 - PICTURE INSPIRATION

Hello everyone,

I am here with the Christmas Card Challenges and we have a new challenge and it is a "picture Challenge". You can  use the picture here for your inspiration:

Here is my card:

My card is an A2 card, I started by creating some snow banks in the background, the Christmas tree image is from Penny Black called tannenbaum.  I stamped it with Stampin Up ink Always Artichoke.  I used a variety of nuvo drops to put the ornaments on the tree.  I used a white pen to scribble in some snow at the bottom of the tree and throughout the tree. I finished off my card by adding the sentiment from Penny Black stamp set peace & harmony.

I hope I have inspired you to join the challenge. You will have two weeks to complete your project. Check out the Christmas Card Challenges blog for more inspiration and to link your project.
