Joy Clair Stamps - Just Butterflies

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to be a guest designer for Joy Clair Designs!  I am a big fan of Joy Clair Stamps, I was on the design team for a few years and so happy the owner, Martha Lucia Gomez invited me back for the month of April.

I am using the Joy Clair Designs Just Butterflies digital stamp set to create my slimline card.  I could not help myself, I needed to use rainbow colors now that Spring is here (to be honest rainbow colors are wonderful all year round). 

Details

My card is a slimline card approximately 3 5/8 x 8 5/8.  I die cut a variety of cardstock in rainbow colors.  I adhered them together on a piece of thin paper and then die cut it with a slimline die.  I then added a piece of black cardstock to the background to give the butterflies more interest.  I then resized the butterflies to the size I wanted them (that's the great thing about digital stamps) and printed them on my laser printer.  I then colored them with copics in rainbow colors.  I added each butterfly flat onto the base of my card and then used foam tape to add the butterflies to my card.  I also added the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies to my card.

Here is a closer look of the card.....I love all the dimension and colors. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!

Designs and Thermoweb Designers have joined together for an Instagram Hop to show off this wonderful Craft Kit.  You can start the instagram hop here, be sure to join.  There will be two random winners from BOTH companies IG hops & designer IG accounts.

I have created two cards for your inspiration:

My first card is a slimline card, here are Gina K. Designs measurements if you want to create one for yourself.

 

I cut the top layer at 3 5/8 x 8 5/8 I stamped the mountains from the Gnome for the Holiday stamp set with GKD ink.  I then masked the mountains and inked the sky with GKD inks. 

I then added some Glitz Glitter Gel Iridescent to the mountain top using the stencil from the Craft Kit, I let that dry and then added some snow in the sky using GKD Stencil Snowfall.  I set this aside to dry.

The gnomes I die cut the body with Deco Foil Toner Sheets and then foiled it with the GKD/ Thermoweb Fancy Foils.

I die cut the hats with GKD cardstock and used the Deco foil Transfer Gel Duo with the stencil from the craft kit and then used the Fancy Foils after the gel dried, I ran it through the foiling machine.

The beards I die cut using Thermoweb White Flock.  The balls on the Gnomes hats are also cut from Thermoweb White Flock.  I assembled their bodies and wallah they are all together.

I die cut the trees and added the Transfer Gel Duo and added the Fancy Foils and ran it through the foiling machine.

I cut a snow bank at the bottom of my card, added the sentiment from the Craft Kit and added it to my card and then assembled the card.

My next card, I created an A2 shaker card.  I cut the top panel at 4 x 5 1/4, I die cut a circle toward the top of the panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in the craft kit.  

I added some acetate in the back of the circle panel and added some of GKD foam tape cutting it in thin strips around the back of the panel.  I sat this aside to create the gnome.  

The gnomes I die cut the body with Deco Foil Toner Sheets and then foiled it with the GKD/ Thermoweb Fancy Foils.

I die cut the hats with GKD cardstock and used the Deco foil Transfer Gel Duo with the stencil from the craft kit and then used the Fancy Foils after the gel dried, I ran it through the foiling machine.

The beards I die cut using Thermoweb White Flock.  The ball on the Gnome hat is also cut from Thermoweb White Flock.  I assembled his body.

I added the sequins from the GKD mermaid tail and added the piece of cardstock I created a background scene using the technique above.  I added this panel to the card base.  I added the Gnome to the front of the shaker card and added the blue heart from the GKD Rainbow hearts to finish the card off.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired and will join the hop.

Joy Clair Designs - Wanna Grab A Sloffee

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another coffee card featuring the Joy Clair Designs stamp set called Feeling Slothy. I'm loving creating slimline cards, they make your project look really cool. If you want to see more inspiration, hop over to Joy Clair Designs blog to see all the coffee related stamps they have in the store.  Also the Joy Clair store is having a sitewide sale on all items in the store (a full list of coffee related stamps are listed at the bottom of this post) ....don't forget to use MEMORIALDAY at checkout.

 
I am playing along with the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Joy Clair is a Super Sponsor again this year. There are lots of sponsors and prizes if you would like to play along.

1.  The card I created with a slimline die from Trinity Stamps, I die cut the front panel and used a stencil to create the grass and clouds,

2.  I then stamped the images from the Joy Clair Feeling Slothy stamp set.

3.  The second sloth on my project I used the technique mirror stamping. I used the Waffle Flower Water Media Mat, I put the mat in my Misti, stamped the image onto the mat with versafine onyx ink, put my paper on top, rubbed it really well to get a clear image (love this technique),

4.  I heat embossed all the images with clear embossing powder because I colored them with copics (versafine ink is not alcohol friendly). I cut the images with a scan and cut, and adhered them to the card.  The bottom sloth I added foam dots to pop him up.

I hope you enjoyed my card as much as I enjoyed making it.
