Joy Clair Blog Hop Day 2


Hi there friends and fellow crafters, welcome back to Day 2 of the Joy Clair New Release Blog Hop. New with Joy Clair is the fun prospect of purchasing the stamps as Clear or Digital (I personally love digital as they can be resized to your preference as well as they are immediately available for download).

Today's release is a set called Succulent Frame. This set is so pretty, and has a few fun sentiments that go great with it. 




I went a little different than my usual with this card. I used Memento dye markers in LuLu Lavender, Angel Pink, Bamboo Leaves and New Sprout to color the image, and then spritzed the card using Fireworks Shimmer Spray in LuLu Lavender and Angel Pink to match. The frame panel is popped up using foam tape while the layers are adhered together using score tape.

This is the links to today's new set:

Joy Clair New Release Blog Hop Day 1




Hi there friends and fellow crafters... LeeAnn here with my Day 1 post for the New Release Blog Hop with Joy Clair Designs. New with Joy Clair is the fun prospect of purchasing the stamps as Clear or Digital (I personally love digital as they can be resized to your preference as well as they are immediately available for download).

The first set I am sharing with you today is entitled Go There!!!
This cute cow makes me so happy, and she is ready to have a Splediforous day. 



I used pattern paper from the Doodlebug "Down On The Farm" paper pack to pack up my image. I used MFT Stitched dies from Blueprints 33 to cut my panel for Missy Moo and the Gingham panel. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the sentiment. 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My second card is from the new set entitled My Heart.




 I love making shaker cards, so this seemed to be the perfect set to do so with. I used my brother scan n cut to cut out the heart image from my card panel. I then took my base and the Fade Away Stencil along with some Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade to make my card front. 
I colored the heart using alcohol markers. I cut 2 panels of acetate to fit over the heart cut out to create the shaker element. I used score tape to adhere the first panel to my card front, then I surrounded the heart using double side foam tape. I added the seed beads to the inside, removed the backing on the foam tape and added another layer of acetate. This was then added to my card base with the colored heart showing through the shaker element. This I have found is the easiest way to make a shaker and have everything line up without loosing the shaker bits. 

Here are the links for the products released on Day 1:

The Friendship Knot

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here and I decided to have a little fun today and enter the GinkK Designs March Challenge which is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
Using the GinaK Wreath Builder Template along with the GinaK Stamp Set "Twine Time", I created this card. I think putting the stamps together like this makes the images look like wrapped Candies, but "friendship knots" work just as well.
I stamped the images using Memento Dye Inks, and the sentiment using GinaK Amalgam Black.
Hope you have enjoyed my project.

Happy Easter with Kat Scrappiness

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my final guest post of the month with the Kat Scrappiness Design team.
Today I used a mixture of old and new products for my project. I had so much fun with this.
 For the front cover of my A2 size card I used the Grass, Bunnie, Chick and Basket from Easter Essentials, along with the Happy Easter Sentiment and Jelly Bean and Egg Sprinkles.
For the inside of my project I used the Large Filigree Egg to cut the shape from the center, more of the grass from the Easter Essentials, along with a couple of the butterflies. I used the Clouds from the He Is Risen die set, and the small size of the Stitched Bunny Outline Die.
This was so much fun to put together. I really hope you enjoy this Easter Themed Shadow Card.

Arrows of a Warrior with Joy Clair Designs

Hey there friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with a project I made for Joy Clair Designs using the Prayer Warrior Stamp set.

To make this card I first stamped out the Warrior and Arrow images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored the images using alcohol markers. I also stamped the sentiment using Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturne.
I cut the images using my Scan N Cut and the pattern paper panels using dies from MFT. I used Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and Scrapbook Adhesives Foam Squares to adhere my panels together, which were made from Recollections paper from Michaels.

The stamp set I used and many more can be found at The Joy Clair Store
