Today on the blog I am sharing a mixed media Festive Panel. I love making these panels for the different seasons and with this amazingly versatile stamp set it was so easy - Saved by Grace. All I did was use the leaf stamp to create some festive foliage, added some red berries and green berries stamped, added some dimensional mixed media inking to the background and called it a day.
The stamped leaves are stamped onto white cardstock and coloured using markers. A few berries stamped directly onto my printed photo in StazOn pigment.
I added some rhinestones and diamante.
The background was created using a mixture of gold, yellow and brown ink over some crackle stenciling.
Saved by Grace has quickly become one of my favorite stamp sets to use for just about any project.
The wooden title was a broken one I had that I simply joined together with glue leaving no trace of its brokenness. I love when I can recycle things and make them new again. Useful if you will - kind of like how God do with us everyday - making us new, mending what is broken and making it useful and beautiful again.
Until next time - I hope you are inspired to pull out those everyday things and create something beautiful. Blessings Jowilna x

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL... On this Thanksgiving Day, let's we all give thanks to the LORD for all his kindness, goodness, and blessings. His is faithful and his love endures forever!
To celebrate this Thanksgiving Day, I made this Thanksgiving card that I created using Joy Clair stamp sets and Imagine Craft products.
It is a clean and simple card with couple simple step to do. First, to create the glittery, sparkly background.
On a piece kraft cardstock, I added some anti-static powder and then I stamped the Falling Leaves Background Stamp using the VersaMark Ink Pad with my MISTI.
I sprinkled some of the Sparkle Mboss Embossing Powder on the stamped image, and then I heat it up with my craft heater.
After that, I trimmed the cardstock with my paper trimmer, and I added it on top of a yellow card base with Tombow permanent adhesive. I centered it in the middle of the card so the yellow card base showed on both sides as border.
On a piece of watercolor cardstock, I stamped the stacked books and tea cup image from the Tea Time Stamp Set using VersaFine Clair Pinecone Ink Pad. I dried the stamped images with my craft heater and then I colored them with my Watercolor Pencils and waterbrush.
After that, I dried the images again with craft heater and I fussy cut them with my micro-tip scissors. I added the tea cup on top of the stacked books with dries-clear permanent adhesive glue, and then I added them on top of the card with 3D foam tape.
I stamped two of the sentiments from the Thankful and Blessed Stamp Set on another white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Summertime Ink Pad using MISTI. I trimmed it with paper trimmer into a sentiment label, and then I added it on the card with 3D foam tape and permanent adhesive.
That's my project to share with you all today. I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed day with your family and friends!

Hi, Connie here with some Turkey Talk by Joy Clair and some great products by Imagine Crafts! Joy Clair has created another stamp set that coordinates with Turkey Talk called Trick or Treat.
I really love the pumpkins in this set. Looks like pumpkins you see in a pumpkin patch. They look perfect showcasing the "turkey". I started creating this card by stamping the background out on mix media cardstock. I used the Wood Background stamp by Joy Clair and the Versa Fine Clair/Nocturne ink by Imagine Crafts. The turkey and the pumpkins were created using the same technique. I used Distress Oxide Ink and made washes (3 different inks) and then colored the mixed media paper to create a solid but not perfect colored paper. I stamped the turkey and pumpkins on the colored paper and trimmed out. The images were adhered to the card front using dimensional foam adhesive. The sentiment was stamped and a wooden heart was added. The turkey eyes were outlined using irRESISTible Embellisher/Wedding Dress by Imagine Crafts to complete the turkey.
Twine was added and then the card front was adhered to a folded card. To complete the card, irRESISTible Embellisher/Tuxedo Black by Imagine Crafts was splattered in random spots on the card.
Thanks for stopping by~

Hello there inky friends! It's Kerry here and I'm back with a fun collaboration post featuring stamps of Joy Clair and Ink/embossing powder by Imagine Crafts! All this month we're featuring fun projects that combine these two fine products and I'm excited to share my first one with you today. This card combines the fun Mermaid at Heart stamp set and the yummy Versafine Clair inks and Embossing powders.
I used the perfect Versafine Clair Nocturne and Warm Breeze ink and ink and the Iridescent MBossing Powder as with all other Versafine inks, the images stamp crisp and clear and provide a perfect foundation for embossing powder. I love the ink so much. I chose the Iridescent embossing powder for this project because it creates such a fun sparkly water effect over my ink.
To create the background, I blended the Warm Breeze ink onto the cardstock (I applied it sparingly but purposfully to create a water-like effect. After distressing, I applied some embossing powder over this ink and heat it up to create the permanent sparkly sheen on my paper.
I trimmed the panel down to allow for a more centrally focused card and stamped/colored and fussy cut the mermaid tail image to apply to the card panel. Next, I added some stitching for an additional textural layer. I stamped the sentiment and applied some bling for additional sparkle.
To finish my card off I attached the panel to my card base and tied some coordinating ribbon around the top.
Thanks for popping over to check out my card. I hope you were inspired by my creation! See you again soon!

Hello everyone!
It's Donna here sharing a card I created using the "Three Wise Men" stamp set. This month the design team has been collaborating with Imagine Crafts products. I have enjoyed using their products on my cards this month, but truthfully I use their products on my projects every month.
Here is my card and how I created it.
My card is an A2 card, I first masked off the moon before using the Versafine Paradise Ink to create my background on the edges I used Versafine Clair Onyx Black. I lifted the mask and used Versafine Cheerful Ink to create the moon. I then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Onyx Black. I then used the Delicata Golden Glitz for the stars. After everything dried I sprayed the background with Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray Sparkle. I set the panel to the side to dry and stamped the three wise men from the "Three Wise Men" stamp set and colored them with Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers. I used the scan and cut to cut them out, I used foam squares on the back and added it to my card.
Closer look at the card.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired and will start making your Christmas cards. There is only 32 more days to get created.

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!
If you are interested in any of the supplies I used today, you can find them all listed and linked down below. Until next time, happy crafting everyone!!

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here with you! I have two different stamp sets to celebrate Christmas, Moose and Poinsettias! Let me start with the first card.
To make this card I used the Merry Christmoose Stamp Set. I stamped the trees using Kaleidacolor Fresh Green from Imagine. I love this type of ink because you have a mix of colors in a single ink pad. Then in a separate piece of whisper white card stock I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Moose Image. I colored the Moose with Memento Markers from Imagine.
As final touch I stamped a sentiment included on the Merry Christmoose stamp set with VersaFine Onix.
My next card was totally made using designer papers and Imagine Inks. This is one of my favorites stamp sets from Joy Clair, the 3D Christmas Poinsettia. It has a great size 6x8 and you can create all the sizes of flowers that you want.
I stamped the poinsettia over red and green designer paper using VersaFine Clair Glamorous and Green Oasis. I covered the stamped images with clear embossing powder. Then, I arranged all the petals to build the poinsettia and temporary placed over the background.
I moved the flower and stamped some branches and sentiment, included on the 3D Poinsettia, using VersaFine Clair Pinecone and clear embossing powder. My final touch a tiny rhinestone on the center of the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by and I want to invite you to keep in touch with us, Joy Clair will have a fabulous and unique promotion during Black Friday and you will love to see it first!

Hi everyone! It's Lindsay here, from Crafting While Caffeinated Blog and YouTube Channel, and I am super excited to be back and share another video with you all! I love to create scenes on my cards and Joy Clair stamp sets really lend themselves to making really fun scenes. But I don't always have an hour to mask, color, and die cut a ton of pieces to create really intricate scenes for my cards. But, there are so many easy and quick tips and trick on creating very simple, but still beautiful scenes that take very little time. You can watch the video below for all the details!
There are several ways to make your scenes easy and quick to put together. The first is to have a plan. I like to use my stamps, lay them out on my panel to get a good idea of what I want to use in my scene and where I want it to go. I keep checking back to my design throughout the project so I'm not left with any surprises when I'm putting it together.
Another thing to consider with some of my scenes is what coloring medium I will be using. This will save you time in the long run and help you to choose the right ink to use! If you aren't sure what medium you want to go with, try and choose an ink that will work with a variety of coloring mediums. On my first project, I still wasn't sure what medium I would be using so I used Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturne to stamp my images from Gnome is Where the Heart Is stamp set.
Something else I really love to do to with my scenes is frame them. That's what I did on the second card today. If you don't have any frame dies you can easily make your own with nesting die sets. Be sure to watch the video for all the info! On this card I used the Blessed Harvest stamp set and to help let the simple scene shine, I used a frame to set it apart from the background.
My final tip I will leave you with is to not make anything more complicated than it needs to be! On my final card, I wanted to create a die cut scnene. Alot of times I would inlay separate pieces, to create a one layer background, however you don't need to! I only die cut a few pieces through simple layering I was able to create what looked like a lot of dimension, but is really just one piece of foam! On this card I only used one stamp from the Turkey Talk set to create this scene!
Scene making definitely does not have to be difficult and I hope you all found a few tips and tricks that help you create really fun, simple and quick scenes! If you are interested in any of the supplies or stamp sets I used on my cards today, you can find them all listed and linked down below. Until next time, happy crafting!
