Father's day inspired cards

Hi there, today I am sharing some cards using the new Best Dad ever stamp set and matching background set. It's not often that you find stunning male inspired stamps and so I am truly going to love using this one often.

I kept my cards simple with some coloring in using a grey marker, some washi tape and a button. My ink splats add a nice touch to the background breaking the whiteness.

And another version with some washi tape detail along the side edge.

You can head to my blog for more details and close-up photos of my cards. Until next time happy stamping Jowilna x

Feminine Themed Projects With Joy Clair and Bazzill Basics Paper

Hello hello hello everyone... Mother's Day just passed and I hope you all had fabulous time with your loved ones celebrating this special day. But... we don't stop there to show how much we love our moms, or anyone who has the mom role in your lives. And today, I have couple projects with feminine themed that I created using the Joy Clair new released stamps and Bazzill Basics Paper.

On my first card, I started by cutting the Mulberry Cardstock into 4.25" x 11" and folded it into an A2 card. Then, I stamped the flower from Proverbs 31 Color By Faith stamp set with VersaMark ink pad directly on the cardstock to create the floral background.

I cut the Purple Palisaded cardstock with 2 rectangle dies to create the frame, and then I added it on the card base with 3D foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from Saved By Grace Color By Faith stamp set with Purple Delight VersaFine Clair ink pad on a vellum paper and then I sprinkled some clear embossing powder on it. I heat set it with craft heater and trimmed it into strip vellum. I added it on the card with Tombow Vellum Tape.

Then, I stamped the floral image on the Pale Rose cardstock with Twilight CP ink pad, fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors, and I added it on the card with permanent adhesive glue and some 3D foam tape.

I embellished the card with some purple sequins from my stash.

My second project is a traveler journal mixed media page. I started with adding some of the heavybody acrylic paints on the page with brayer. Then, I painted the circles with pink paint and the leaf shapes with light green paint. I dried the whole page with craft heater.

Once the paint dried, I stamped the roses with VersaFine Clair Charmink Pink ink pad and leaves with VersaFine Clair Verdant ink pad on both corners. While the ink still wet, I sprinkled them with some of the glitter clear embossing powder, and heat set them with craft heater. The roses and leaves are from the Saved By Grace Color By Faith stamp set.

I stamped the sentiment  with VersaFine Clair Glamorous ink pad and stamped the woman image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad and dried them with craft heater again. I colored the woman image with Tombow Dual Marker and Blender Pen. The sentiment and woman image are from the Proverbs 31 Color By Faith stamp set.

Then I stamped the sentiment on the Purple Palisaded cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad, trimmed it into a paper strip, and I added it on the page with adhesive glue.

I added some of the gold heavybody acrylic paint around the page and images with finger to create some gold-ish and vintage-ish look.

And... that's all my Feminine Themed Projects to share with you all today. I hope you like them, too.

Spring Stroll in a box

Hi there, Martha Lucia here with  you!

Spring is here and I have it in a box! I am combining two products on the creation of this box, the first is the Popcorn Box Template File from The Cutting Cafe and the other is the Spring Stroll Stamp Set from Joy Clair Stamps.

Make this kind of projects is fun because you stretch your stamps and fly with your imagination. I love to make 3D's but during the last months I totally left it in a side and now I am really enjoying my passion.

I have a complete step by step tutorial of this project HERE on my Stampartpapel Blog and don't think that you need an electronic machine to cut your files. No, you can easily made all that you want just with your scissors! 

I will waiting for you HERE...

Stamps & Foiled Paper - Mother Pearl Technique

Hello everyone Martha Lucia here with you!

Today I am featuring Mother Pearl Technique & Foiled Paper in a very cute Bookmarks that I made using one of the new stamp sets of Joy Clair and Rinea Foiled Paper.  This month we have a special collaboration between this two brands and I decided to make something special, like they are for me.

I used a very old technique knows as Mother Pearl and some die cuts to create the pieces of the book mark. If you noticed it is a combination of two ends that you can use to separate the pages on your books. You only need to tie both pieces and determinate the long of the thread. I used natural/gold thread.

Directions:

I die cut a whisper white pieces of cardstock using the the large die cut from the Anastasia Tag Die by WPlus9.  Using my Misti, I stamped different images from the stamp set Deer Friends using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Studio 71 Alcohol Markers.

Taking a piece of plastic wrap and All Purpose Ink in Metallic Frost White color and inked the plastic wrap directly and "sponged" the ink over the painted images and all the surface. I left the inked layer dry for a few seconds and let a side in a while.

To complete the project, I cut the same layer using the colors of foiled paper included on the Princess Foiled Paper Variety Pack , I used the Glossy Lavender Light Purple/Gold and after cut the large die cut. I cut two pieces but only in one, I cut the center with another oval included on the Anastasia Tag Die. With the negative part and a small die cut I created the frame for the other end of my book mark. All these parts were cut with the same set of die cuts.

I repeated the technique process to stamp the complement sentiment and and assembled all the  Glossy Lavender Light Purple/Gold Rinea Foiled Paper pieces using glue. At the end, I tied the two mini tags with a natural/gold thread.

Here second project that I made with the same process. At this time I only changed the colors of Rinea Foiled Paper and used Starstruck Silver Foiled Paper. This color is also included on the Princes Foiled Paper Variety Pack.

Special tip:

You can also take advantage of the different sizes of foiled paper available on Rinea Shop or the single color packages to create this type of projects. And remember, if you have a “mass production” you can also use the new Misfits Foiled Paper Variety Packages. This is a mystery collection variety pack of our favorite metallic foiled papers in both starstruck and  glossy.

Thank you for stopping by!

Tags and "Mother's Day Love" stamp set

Jenny from Jen's Crafty Place here today using a set from Joy Clair called, "Mother's Day Love". 

I decided to make some cute tags for just about any occasion. I colored each tag with Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils.  I used some regular tags and stamped them with VersaFine Clair Nocturne.

Then I colored each with the Leisure Arts Colored Pencils and did some easy shading.

After I colored them all I used a little bit of some glitter pen to add some sparkle to them.

I added some colored bakers twine to each tag and I was done! Easy project and great to have on hand when you need a tag for a gift. Hope you give them a try!

Everyday Love Card using Joy Clair's Mother's Day Love Stamp

Hello Crafters!

I'm so excited to show you this simple, yet adorable card using the newest Joy Clair Mother's Day Love stamp set. I love how it can be used for everyday love cards, friendship, or kids, not just for Mother's Day. Nothing beats a versatile stamp set. After I created this card, I thought about how adorable this shaker tag would be on its own. With all the different huggable animals included in this stamp set, these would be cute tags to put on gifts, as well. I opted to use my Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils, and they definitely delivered beyond my expectation. I'm fairly new to coloring, so I wasn't sure how the background would turn out, but I am pleasantly surprised. I blended the sunset using some Gamsol and stumps, and the pencils blended so well. Check out how I created this lovable card. 

Directions:

Start by choosing some fun patterned papers. You know me, I like to mix and match and get a little crazy! Use your stitched rectangular die cuts to add a little detail to the background papers. 

Next, use your favorite huggable animal stamps and sentiments from the Joy Clair Mother's Day Love stamp set, and stamp onto white card stock. I used the penguins, as I knew the black and white colors would work perfectly with my modern, colorful prints. I used a cut out of the shaker die cut to help determine where to place the stamps. 

Then, use your Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils to color your animal friends and the background. I made a beautiful ombre sunset using the peachy color and a few pink/purple pencils, and then blended using Gamsol and stumps. The pigment blended better than I expected with these pencils. 

Now it's time to cut and assemble the shaker tag. I kept the tag outline as black so that it stood out and didn't compete with all the different patterns and colors. I added a handful of simple pink beads to the shaker, as well not to compete with the stamp. 

I added a few other embellishments to finish off this card, without going too overboard! The Mother's Day Love stamp set is just too cute for words. With all the different animals and sentiments, you can create a card for anyone you love, at any time of year, for any reason at all!

Happy Crafting, 

-Nicole

Mom window card with Joy Clair

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a card using two new sets from Joy Clair... Mother's Day Love and Broken Brick background. I know Mother's Day has past and this is the card I made for my Mother In Law, but you could easily use another sentiment and make this a birthday or thinking of you card!

I started by scoring a piece of  10 1/2 x 4 1/2 cardstock scored at 3 1/2 and 7 to create my try fold card base. I used a die to create a window in the front panel. Then masked the window area to prep it for stamping the background. 

I lightly traced the window area on what would be the middle panel, so that I knew where to stamp my kitties. (I wanted as little of the kitten to show as possible to shoe through the window.) Then I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair (Morning Mist). 

While the ink was drying I added details to the front of the card by adding gray (using copic) to the window trim and colored a strip of card stock to create a border at the bottom. I used letter dies with gray cardstock to create my own "stickers" for MOM. 

Once the front was done, I stamped the sentiments on the inside of the card and colored the kitties from Mother's Day Love with Copics. This was the first time using the VersaFine Clair ink with my copics and I wasn't sure if the image was "dry", so I was extra careful while coloring. I love how the card turned out, so that you can see the momma cat with the card closed. 

Thanks for stopping by, until next time...

Piggie Hugs with Mother's Day Love

Hello there Joy Clair Friends!  It's Kerry here and I'm thrilled to share a cute card I created using one of the newest stamp sets to join the Joy Clair collection of stamps.  This new stamp set is called Mother's Day Love and it includes several different types of adorable animals (and their babies).  Although this set is aptly named "Mother's Day Love", I think it is quite a versatile stamp set and the sentiments help make it work for just about any type of card! In my case, I stamped the sentiment "You give the best hugs" on the inside of my card so that the little piggies could take center stage on the front. 

In order to create my card, I started out by stamping the little piggies onto white cardstock, then used my Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils to color the piggies.  As you notice, I apply color from a pool of color instead of directly from the pencil.  This helps me control the intensity of color and also helps control my fluids.  After watercoloring, I applied additional color with my Leisure Arts Premium Colored Pencils.  They add just enough dimension and shadowing to make the image come to life.  :)

See... Isn't it cute?  Just a little bit more color to make them pig-a-licious!  LOL.  To finish the card off, I punched the image using a scalloped circle punch then mounted it onto a corrugated circle.  After that, I attached it to my green plaid background that I machine stitched for added fun!  

This set is just too cute for words, don't you think?  Thanks for stopping by today and I hope my creation has inspired you to make something that will make you smile! 

Best Hugs by Martha Lucia

Hello everyone! Today I am featuring two stamp sets from Joy Clair, Mother's Day Love with the best hugs sentiment and Crackle Background.

The process to create my card was very simple. I stamped the Crackle Background over Very Vanilla cardstock using two different colors of ink. First with Crumb Cake Classic Ink and second time, rotating the stamp with Bermuda Bay Classic Ink. I love how this piece of card stock turned in a fantastic crackle background. Then using a stitched scallop circle to cut the center of the stamped layer and resized it to be used as second layer on my card. Using my MISTI and a Crumb Cake card base I stamped one of the cute images included on the stamp set Mother's Day Love with VersaMark Ink. After that, I colored the image with color pencils.

When I was satisfied with the coloring, I re-stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and stamped the sentiment and covered them with Clear Embossing Powder.

I pasted the Crackle background image over the card base using dimensionals or double sided foam tape. As final touch I mixed Bermuda Bay Classic Ink and Sheer Shimmer Spritzer Sparkle over my mat and with this mix I covered two tiny pieces of card stock or borders that I added on the lower part of the card.

 I hope my project inspired you to combine your stamps on your creations. I love inks and they are the best tool to make that.
