How to Use Joy Clair Background Stamps + A Video Tutorial

Hey everyone! It's Lindsay, from Crafting While Caffeinated Blog and YouTube Channel, here with you today sharing another video tutorial. In today's video I really want to focus on the Joy Clair Background stamps. These are such versatile stamps that can be used with so many different techniques to create some really amazing cards. And in the video I am sharing a few of those techniques, along with many tips and tricks on the best ways to stamp these backgrounds! Be sure to watch the video tutorial below for all the details!

On my first project I used the Falling Leaves stamp. This is a fun one and can be used in so many ways! Today, I stamped the image onto regular cardstock and colored with my alcohol markers to create a very quick card. I used the Hello Sentiments stamp set (one of my faves) to finish this card!

For my second project I knew I wanted to watercolor the Tool Background, which meant I needed to stamp on watercolor paper. Watercolor paper can be a bit tricky because it has some texture, so I like to use my MISTI to do the stamping. Be sure to watch the video above for tips and tricks on using these background stamps in your stamp positioner! I used my Memento markers to quickly watercolor the background.

My third and final project is probably my favorite! I used the Christmas Lights background and I did a bit of multi color stamping!! It's so easy to use this technique with these stamps, especially in your stamp positioner. I also used the 3D Poinsettia stamp set to add a few embellishments to this very simple card!

I hope you all enjoyed this indepth look at the background stamps from Joy Clair. These are really versatile stamps that, I think, need more recognition! They are some of my favorites to use for so many things!
