Fall Family Football by Jess

Hello friends!

 

 

It's Jess here today with a fun new card to share! Since I have been in Christmas mode, I decided to take a quick step away and make something NON Christmas using a newer release stamp set.  Football season is in full swing, so a football card seemed totally appropriate. I used the "Fall Family Football" stamp set to create this card. I love this set - it's a perfect fall/masculine/sporting themed set!  Great sentiments for all occasions - and you can modify it to apply to most sports too!

 

 

I stamped the football, helmet and sentiment stamps onto some white cardstock and colored with my Nuvo Markers, then cut them out.  I used some football field themed patterned paper to stamp a random pattern background using quite a few of the images from the set.

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you enjoyed my card. Be sure to grab your fave JOY CLAIR stamps today!  I promise, you will have so much fun using them!

 

See you again really soon!  Hugs!!

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 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

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!  

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!

Thanks for stopping by~

Mixed Media with Shadow of the Almighty

Hello there Joy Clair friends!  It's Kerry here and I'm back with another crafty creation featuring Joy Clair stamps and Leisure Arts markers.  I had so much fun creating this mixed media card and love the sentiment that inspired it.  I used the new stamp set "Shadow of the Almighty" in this creation.  

To start things off, I pulled out three colors of Leisure Arts markers  (on sale NOW!) and rubbed each one on my craft mat.  I then added some water and used a paint brush to flick the color onto the cardstock.  After that, I pulled out my Gelli Plate and painted some black acrylic paint onto the plate.  I applied my paper to this plate and lifted the color.  I then applied some ivory acrylic paint to my Gelli Plate and lifted that onto the card panel too.  Next, I added some Brushed Gold Pan pastel to give a hint of shimmer.  I then flicked more marker watercolor over that then set it aside to dry. 
I stamped the sentiment using my Misti and attached some polkadotty ribbon and a sequin/sparker.  Then I thought I'd add some of the black dots to mimic the ribbon (and my cute coffee mug).  I mounted this sentiment onto the inky panel and then mounted some graph paper to a white card base.  Finally, I attached the stamped/painted panel to the card base and called it DONE!  
SO fun!  Thanks for hopping over to check out my card today.  I hope it inspires you to create something a bit out of your comfort zone.  Just get inky! :) . See you soon!

Hope

Hello everyone!

It's Donna here sharing newly released stamp sets called Hope. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This set is a great set to create a card to send to someone for encouragement.  There are great sentiments and images in this set that you will definitely use over and over again.

 

This month the design team is using Leisure Arts products. I am using the Double Ended Markers to color the ribbon.  My card is a tall card, I stamped the images and sentiment from the Hope stamp set and then die cut them out with a square die and adhered it to my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon!

 

Game Day Birthday

Hello everyone, it's Ceal and I am back to share with you again. This time I am sharing this super fun Fall Family Football set.  If the men in your family are anything like mine they love football. I enjoy watching college ball but I am not really into Pro although I do love my Denver Broncos. 

I created a birthday card for my nephew with this set but it is so versatile you could also create party invitations with it as well.

We are teaming up with Leisure Arts all month so I used the 60 ct Double Ended markers to color the images. 

 

For all the details on my card, head over to my blog Simply Beautiful. 

You Rock with Joy Clair's You're a Gem & Crystal Background Stamps

Hello and welcome!  It's Angie here today with a "You're a Gem" card using 2 of the newly released stamp sets from Joy Clair.

First, let's look at the new "Crystal" background stamp:

It's such a cool stamp and works really well as a frame for a sentiment.  You can use the free cutting files that come with every set you purchase, but I decided I wanted to cut it really close to the edges so I fussy cut my watercolored paper with scissors.  I think it would look great either way and my next card I plan to use the free cutting file and try it with a little white edge for the frame.  For my watercolored look, I used the smooshing technique with Leisure Arts Watercolor markers and water.

And here's the brand new "You're a Gem" stamp set where my sentiment came from:

Here's a closer look at my card where you can see the watercolored paper and the shiny gems.  I also used textured blue card stock for the center and to heat emboss my sentiment.  I popped the whole framed sentiment up on fun foam for dimension.

I also used a black marker to color in the edges where I cut the background out so it would stand out against the white of the card base.  I've linked all my supplies used on my blog if you are interested, check it out HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting my friends!
