Holy Guacamole Birthday Cards

Hi everyone, thank you for joining me today with some fun cards I am sharing today.


I recently created these fun backgrounds using Alcohol inks in class as a demo and thought they would work perfectly with the No Prob-Llama stamp set. And I was right.

I flanked the center panel of this card with thin strips of lime and pink Bazzill Cardstock. It just finished off an otherwise plain center panel, adding color and texture.

I use my markers to colour the images as well as some watercolor paint. The vibrant colours are perfect for fun birthday cards.

And for my second card I used a row of the cactus images in shades of green against the colorful background. It really makes the images stand out.

I framed the center panel with some colorful Bazzill Basics cardstock strips. The cardstock colors pick up on the colors used in my card and I simply love the textures.


A simple stamped sentiment is all you need for this card. And to finish it off I added a few colourful paint splats and diamante.
A quick ten minute card that looks amazing.

Notice how the paint splatters create a vibrant and fun dot where it landed on the Bazzill Card stock, adding to the fun fiesta feel of this card.
Until next time have a colorful day! And don't forget to hop on over and take a look at all the amazing new stamp sets.

Masculine Themed Projects with Joy Clair Stamps and Bazzill Basics Paper

Hello...hello...hello... Helen is here today with these couple of masculine themed projects using Joy Clair new released stamps and Bazzill Basics Paper.

Father's day is only couple of weeks away. My daughters and I like to make fun handmade gifts and cards for their fantastic dad. Today, I would like to share these 2 Father's Day cards with you all.

On this first card, I used the Atlantic cardstock to make the A2 card. I stamped the Tools Background stamp on Jawbreaker cardstock with HA White Pigment ink pad using MISTI. I dried the stamped image with craft heater and then I cut it with Double Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added the panel on the card with Tombow Mono Permanent Adhesive.

I cut out the Heart pattern cardstock with one of the Stars Nesting Dies and I added it on the card with thin glue dots.

For the sentiment, I stamped the tape image from the Best Dad Ever stamp set with VersaFine Clair Blue Belle ink pad on Classic Smooth White cardstock with Mini MISTI, and then I fussy cut it with scissors. I added the sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.

This second card is a Z-Fold card. I cut out the French Mint cardstock in to 4.25" x 11". Then, I scored and folded it in to a Z-fold shape. There are several ways of making Z-Fold card but this is the basic one that I use to make my card.

I use the Green Dotted Swiss cardstock and Green/Gold Marble cardstock as the mats on the card. And I cut 2 more of the Fresh Mint cardstock to use as sentiment panels. 

On both of the sentiment panels, I stamped the border image from the Best Dad Ever stamp set with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad on both top and bottom using MISTI. And then, I stamped the sentiments in between the border images with VersaFine Clair ink pads, too.

I added the panel inside (or back) of the card first, and then I lined up the front panel on top of it but only glued the bottom of the panel.

It is a fun to make this Z Fold card and I kindda like the idea that the recipients can display it on their desk or shelf. How about you? Do you like making fun-fold cards?

I hope you all like these masculine themed projects today and hopefully they inspire you to make something special for your loved ones.

Feeling Slothly by Martha Lucia

Hello friends! Today I am featuring the stamp set Feeling Slothly from the most recently collection and it is totally cute!

My first card was made using Bazzill Basics Papers and they work wonderful with my design. I decided to create a wild background and I used dark colors, that are not traditional on my creations but that look wonderful in combination with the coloring of the sloth bears.

If you want to see more details about the products that I used on this card, just click HERE.

For my second cards I changed the dark colors of cardstock for some more brilliant. I also used Bazzill Basics Paper to make this. I used the negative created on my first card to make the third layer of this card. I  just pasted behind of this layer a brown colors piece of card stock.

On this card I used another sloth bear and sentiment included on the same stamp set Feeling Slothly and colored with Alcohol Markers. More details HERE.

Thank you for stopping by and if you want to know more about the different types of  papers that Bazzill Basics offered to us you can find them here.

Scrapbooking with Joy Clair and Bazzill ~

Hi, Connie here with a scrapbook page using several Joy Clair stamp sets along with Bazzill cardstock.  I love how the Joy Clair stamp sets work together, using a little something from each set to help create a page and tell the story wonderfully. 


I started with one photo and layered different colors of Bazzill cardstock behind the photo.  The embellishments are stamped out on Bazzill cardstock using several different stamp sets by Joy Clair.  The embellishments were trimmed out and adhered to the page with dimensional adhesive.
  
The journal tag is hidden behind the focal picture of layered papers.  The encouraging sentiments (2 Boss Babe set ~ new) were stamped out on the different color of Bazzill cardstock, trimmed to a rectangle and then adhered to the page.

I love the Books of the Bible stamp set to document special and meaningful verses that I want to add to my page.  It really kinda sets the tone as to what I'm trying to articulate through my page and I hope it will encourage someone to pick up the bible and read Psalms 31.

The God's Focus set was used to create this little banner under the focal photo.  The Hello Autumn set was used for the large leaves that are stapled randomly on the page.  I hope you will get your Joy Clair Collection of stamps out and use them together.  You will be amazed at how fun it is!

Thanks for stopping by~

Friends and Flowers

Hello there Joy Clair Friends!  It's Kerry here and I'm back to share a fun card featuring the new release called Friends and Flowers.  This set is choc full of fabulous inspirational sentiments and includes an old truck that is overflowing with blooms.  

I chose to create this card with additional blooms from the Doodle Flowers Set.  I think it coordinates perfectly with this truck, don't you think?!  

I colored the truck to include some nice old rusty parts.  

After stamping and coloring the truck, I fussy cut the image and started working on the background.  I wanted to add additional flowers behind the truck to make the image just OOOOOZZZEEEE with flowers.  Copics worked perfectly to incorporate the perfect color with this design.  
To finish the card off, I added some aqua ribbon, some sequins.  This color combo has to be one of my most favorite color combos to date.  

Thanks for hopping over to check out my card!  I had a blast creating it!  See you again soon!  Have a great weekend.  

Happy Father's Day

Hello everyone!

I'm here with Joy Clair Stamps sharing a Father's Day card with you.  It is a clean and simple one.  This month Joy Clair is collaboring with Bazzill Basics Paper, the design team is using their papers in their projects.  I am using the Joy Clair Stamps Tool Background and Best Dad Ever.

Tool Background 

Best Dad Ever

Here is my card and how I created it:

1.  My card is an A2 card,

2.  I cut the top layer at 4 x 5 1/4,

3. I used my Misti and used the Joy Clair background stamp "Tool Background" to stamp the background,

4.  I then stamped the sentiment from the Joy Clair "Best Dad Ever",

5.  I inked the edges of the layered background to give the card some interest and then adhered the sentiment to my card.

Three Easy Cardstock Patterns + A Video Tutorial

Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying this month long collaboration with Bazzill Basics and a look at all of the fun cardstock they have to offer. Today I am sharing a different way to use that cardstock and that is to make fun patterned backgrounds! These were the perfect addition to the brand new No Prob-Llama stamp set! Be sure to watch the video tutorial down below for all the details on how to put these three different backgrounds together!

Each of these backgrounds uses the same colors of cardstock and are put together in the same way, it's just about HOW you position them that makes all the difference. I started these cards by cutting five different colors of card stock from the Bazzill Basics line into A2 size and then from there I cut them into strips. There were no measurements, I just started cutting some thinner strips, some thicker and some in between! 

 

You can use liquid adhesive to adhere these cardstock strips down, but I like to cover my panel in double sided adhesive. I use sheets from Scrapbook.com, but you could also use a tape runner or like I said use liquid adhesive and adhere each strip individually. This step is where you really get to have fun and play around! There are so many different patterns you could make! I made three different backgrounds today, and be sure to watch the video above for all the details on how I put each one together!

 

These backgrounds were so bright and colorful I knew they were perfect to pair with the new No Probllama Stamp Set. I stamped three of the llamas and colored each one. After fussy cutting my colored images I popped them up with dimensional adhesive onto the backgrounds. And after adding the panels onto card bases I popped on sentiment strips to finish off the cards!

Baby Shark

Hello Everyone, It's Ceal and  am back to share a card with yo that uses one of our new release stamps. As you may remember in my first monthly post it was before release day so I had to hold off on using one of the sets for my post. What do you think of this release?? Aren't these some fabulous stamps? I am loving them! 

When I saw this Baby Shark set, this card design immediately came to mind. It was a bit tedious but so fun to create it. here's how I did it.I started with a white top folding card base, a white panel cut down a quarter of an inch smaller and a piece of black Bazzell card stock as my mat, as I had said before we are collaborating the whole month of May with Bazzell so you will be seeing us use their papers on our projects. I randomly stamped the baby shark image to cover the panel and colored them using Copic markers in C01, C02 and E4. Next is the tedious part, for the water bubbles I created a mask for the sharks and then stamped the bubbles using Gina K Sea Glass ink. After I got the background done I removed the masks and then used Crystalline Drops by Gina K to give them that "wet" shine. here is a close up.

For the greeting, he word birthday is from the Hello Sentiments set but the rest is from the Baby Shark set.  I placed a piece of black card stock by Bazzell in the Original Misti and stamped the greeting using using Versamark ink and then embossed them in white. I used the Cut-Align by My Sweet Petunia to get the strip the size I wanted it and then attached it to the card front using foam tape.

Using a Stamp Set in a Different Way

There are two things (well more than two, but these are my favorite) I adore about Joy Clair Stamps. The sass and the extensive collections for creating in the Bible. I love to use the stamps in my Bible. The time I spend creating a page is worship for me. It is when God reveals things to me that I may not understand without arting in my Bible. I usually pull out my Essential oil and listen to KLove as I create. Not only are these stamps great for their intended purpose -- Bible art, they are wonderful for creating cards to encourage others. I created two cards about wisdom. One is for my daughter during finals week and one is for my Mom.

For each card I used three pieces of Bazzil Card stock and embossing powder. To create the background on the first card I randomly stamped the glasses and open book with embossing ink and embossed it in gold. I used the book shelf to create the background to the title by stamping it three times, embossing it in gold and coloring it in with colored pencils. By layering the different textures of Bazzil card stock it gave it a finished look

For this card, I die cut a frame with Bazzil card stock and embossed it in gold. For the title I stamped it with black ink and used an oval die cut. The little glasses were stamped, fussy cut out and a little clear glaze added to them to make them shine -- just like real glasses!

I did add Dew Drops to each card to give each a little more personality.

I encourage you the next time you create in your Bible ask God if there is anyone that would benefit from a card. If He lays someone on your heart, make them one! God gave you a creative gene and we should use it to glorify Him and encourage others in Him.

Until next time ~ Happy Crafting!
