Give Thanks To The Lord

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!

So Thankful with Joy Clair & Imagine Crafts

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.

Grateful For You

Hello everyone,

It's Ceal, here to share with you today.  We have been collaborating all month with Imagine Crafts, I hope you are getting lots of  inspiration from the design team for ways to use Imagine Crafts products with your Joy Clair Stamps. 

With Thanksgiving being next week, we are all thinking about what we are thankful/grateful for.  I made this card for one of my pastors at church using some Hologram embossing powder by Imagine Crafts and the Fall Greetings set.  

 

For complete details on how ai made this card head over to my blog, Simply Beautiful.

Rejoice with Joy Clair's Thankful & Blessed and Fall Greetings

Hello and welcome! 

 

It's Angie here  today with one of my favorite fall cards using two Joy Clair stamp sets along with some amazing products from Imagine.  Here's a short list of what I used.  (Complete list and links can be found on my blog.)

Joy Clair Fall Greetings

Joy Clair Thankful and Blessed

Imagine MBoss

Versamark Ink

Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink

 

Here's how I made my card:

 

1)  I masked off the edges of the panel and sunflower with a mask so I could partially stamp the border stamp along the edges.  I ended up only using a smaller rectangle from this panel after I finished coloring it.  

 

2) For the sentiment, I used Versafine ink and MBoss embossing powder in Rose Gold and for the 3rd layer of the front panel.  There are 3 layers, the focal image and sentiment panel on top of black and layered on the embossed rectangle.

To save embossing powder, I only heat embossed the part you would see of the bottom rectangle.

 

3)  Below is the picture of the embossing before I cut it out with the dotted rectangle die.

 

 4) I colored the images with Zigs and added sparkle pen to the center of the sunflower.

 

Here's a closer look at my card, isn't that rose gold MBoss amazing looking?

 

 

If you are interested in my supplies I have linked them on my blog.

 

I love how this turned out because the colors mixed with that rose gold embossing really pop.  Check out all of the 38 amazing embossing powder colors, the incredible inks and more at Imagine Crafts!

Fall leaf card with Joy Clair and Imagine Crafts

Welcome to today's blog post. Today I am sharing a card with a kraft cardstock base. I always love the look and end result but don't use it often. For this card I embossed the leaves on the background and then inked over it for a darker look.

A sentiment raised on top of the embossed background adds dimension. I finished off my card with a few embellishments.
For more info and details on the inks and embossing powders used you can visit my blog. And as always here's the gorgeous stamp set I used and love more each day.

Thanks for stopping by! Love Jowilna x

Grateful, Thankful, Blessed

Hello hello hello everyone... This month, Joy Clair is collaborating with Image Crafts. Both of the design teams are sharing projects featuring the amazing products from each company! And today, it is my turn.

We give thanks to the LORD for things that we receive and happen in our life in each day. The month of November has become one of the special months for our family when every day we will re-think all the blessings that we have received all year long and give thanks to the LORD for His faithfulness in our life.

My project today is a clean-and-simple, Thanksgiving theme card using Joy Clair stamp sets and Imagine Crafts products.

I use the embossing resist technique to create the background. So, I started by adding anti-static powder on the watercolor paper. After that, I stamped the Falling Leaves Background Stamp with VersaMark Ink Pad using my MISTI.

Next, I sprinkled some of the Sparkle Mboss Embossing Powder on the stamped image and then I heat set it with my craft heater.

I scribbled some of the Red Cherry Gelatos, Tangerine Gelatos and Lemon Gelatos on the paper. I sprayed it lightly with water, and then using my finger to blend the colors. I used paper towel to dab off some the extra water from the paper.

After that, I dried the paper with craft heater and then using baby wipe I wiped off the colors from the embossed image to reveal the sparkles on it.

I trimmed the paper with paper trimmer and then I added on top of a kraft card base with Tombow permanent adhesive.

For the sentiment, I stamped the word Grateful, Thankful, Blessed from the Thankful and Blessed Stamp Set on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Pinecone Ink Pad.

I trimmed each word into word strip banner and then I added them on the card with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.

That's for today... I hope this card gives you an idea to make Fall/Thanksgiving cards for your friends and family.

Joy Clair and Coffee Lovers Fall/Winter Blog Hop

Hello there Joy Clair friends (and Coffee Loving Cardmakers!) It's Kerry here and I'm excited to share a pretty fall creation for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers annual Fall/WInter blog hop!  This year, Joy Clair is a super sponsor and we're thrilled to be sharing projects with you throughout the week.  I created this pretty fall card featuring two DEELISH stamp sets.  I used Christmas Cocoa (the cup) and the new Fall Greetings set to create my fun and festive card.

 

As a Super Sponsor, Joy Clair will be gifting one lucky blog hop contributor/commenter a fabulous crafty prize and perhaps it will be you!  

I also used the deelish inks (Summertime and Nocturne) from Imagine Crafts to stamp the designs for my card.  The sparkly embossing was achieved with MBoss Hologram embossing powder.  

A closer peek at the background shows the stamping I created using the little berries and leaves in the Fall stamp set.  It also shows some of the yummy embossing.  This hologram embossing powder gives a nice silvery holographic look and it sparkles with many colors.  SO pretty! I applied the same stamped berries on the cup as well before adding the embossing.  

To finish off my card, I added some taupe satin ribbon and applied some bling (that I colored with a rusty orange Copic marker).  I stamped a few additional leaves so that I could let them gently fall on the card.  

 

Thanks for hopping over to check out my card!  I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!  

In "Feast Mode" with Joy Clair & Imagine Crafts

Hi, Connie here with Joy Clair and Imagine Crafts.  It is November (can't believe it) but that means Turkey!!! Joy Clair has the cutest stamp set called Turkey Talk and that is what I created with along with some great products by Imagine Crafts.

The background, for the card, was created using the Falling Leaves Background stamp by Joy Clair.  Each of the leaves were colored in with several different fall colors of Distress Oxide inks.  The Turkey was stamped out on a mix media type background created with watered down Distress Oxide inks.  The Turkey was trimmed out and then double matted on a background created using the Broken Brick Background by Joy Clair.  The size is about 2 1/2" X 2 1/2" .  Twine was wrapped around the bottom of the turkey and then adhered to the card front with dimensional adhesive.  All the stamping was done with Versa Fine Clair / Nocturne ink by Imagine Crafts.  The black splats are created with the irRESISTible Embellisher/Tuxedo Black by Imagine Crafts. 

To complete the double mat the turkey focal in the center of the card.  Double mat on coordinating cardstock and adhere to a folded card.  This is such a fun set and has so many possibilities for creating cute "Thanksgiving" cards or place sitting cards for the special day.

Fall, Family & Football with Joy Clair and Leisure Arts~

Hi, Connie here with a set of cards created using the newly released set by Joy Clair called Fall, Family & Football and dual tip markers by Leisure Arts. Fun stuff right here.  Who doesn't love fall, family and football~we love em' all!  Just still waiting for the fall thing to happen here in Texas~

These cards were created by using the markers as a mixed media type ink.  I scribbled the ink on a non stick mat and added a small amount of water and dabbed the ink on the watercolor  paper.  I dried the paper with a heat tool after each color.  I just kept layering colors (from the markers) until I got a fallish mix of color. Something a cool November day would be proud of.  The images form the Fall, family & Football stamp set were stamped out and colored in with the dual tip markers by Leisure Arts.

The images were adhered to the card front with Dimensional adhesive and then double matted on coordinating cardstock.  The cards are 3" X 4" /small great for gift bags are football goodies!  

The second card is created using the same technique except I used Distress Oxides inks instead of the dual tip markers.  The background was created the same.  The images were water colored with Distress Oxide ink.  The images were adhered to the card front with dimensional adhesive/foam squares. The card front was double matted on coordinating cardstock and then adhered to a folded card.  This is a 3" X 3" card so it is perfect for a gift bag or used as a card on some game day treats!
