Hi, Connie here with a "love" card using the Scriptures of Love set and the Saved by Grace set by Joy Clair. These two sets make beautiful Valentine cards and expressions of love cards. Same thing, right? Same kinda of beautiful!
The background is stamped with different sizes of the rose flower from the Saved by Grace set, in random places on the card front. Color is added using Distress Oxide inks. Extra leaves are stamped and trimmed out and added to the card using dimensional adhesive. The sentiment is double matted in coordinating cardstock and adhered to the card front. The card is then double matted and adhered to a folded card base. Twine and ink splats are added for texture. Very simple but pretty card ~ I love pretty simple too!!!
It's Donna here with a cute Valentine's Day card or you can use it for a friend or family member to let them know you love and adore them. I am using the Joy Clair Stamp sets, Valentine Background Builder, Best Buds and Love Quotes. If you have not check their website, they have some very nice Valentine, Friend, and Love stamp sets, you can see the whole line of love and friendship stamps here.
Here is my card and how I put it together:
Closer look at the card
1. My card is an A2 card, measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2,
2. I cut a panel at 4 x 5 1/4, I stamped the love stamp from the Background Builder stamp set, and used my stamperatus to stamp the image down the panel so that everything was even,
3. I die cut a heart and stamped the sentiment from the Love Quotes stamp set using Versamark and heat set the sentiment with black embossing powder,
4. I then stamped and cut the cute image from the Best Buds set, I used my scan and cut to cut them out and then colored them with copics. I used some foam tape to pop them up onto the heart and adhered the heart to my card.
Love how my card turned out, clean and simple but adorable!

Hi everyone! It's Lindsay, from Crafting While Caffeinated Blog & YouTube Channel, here with you today. I am so excited to share my cards with you today! There are times when I want to make my card fronts just a little bit more interesting and fun. And to do that, today I am making my card front different shapes!! Keep reading below to see how I did it!
The Video Tutorial
The First Card
You don't need any dies or special tools in order to create shaped card fronts. All you need is some scissors! I did use a stencil, an OLD one that I bought when I was in high school!! Using a pencil, I drew the heart with a very light hand. Then, I just used my scissors to cut on the lines!
To help the heart stand out from the inside panel I added some stenciling. I did mask a heart on the inside panel just to be sure I would have a space to write a greeting!
To finish the outside of this card I added a few stamps. I used Joy Clair Stamp Sets. The dinosaur is from the "Dino Love" stamp set and the sentiment is from "Love Languages".
The Second Card
If you're not comfortable with your cutting skills, you can use dies for this technique as well. That's what I did on my second card. I used a large circle die to die cut the bottom third of the card off. This gave the card front a nice rounded look! If you don't have dies, you could easily trace a plate and cut with your scissors.
I used a circle die because I wanted to make my card front into a moon for a space themed card. In order to make the front look like the moon, I ink blended with a light gray ink and then with a darker gray ink, I blended in some darker gray circles.
I also needed my moon to look as if it was in space. To do that I added a black strip of cardstock to the bottom portion of the inside panel. I also stamped a few stars with Staz On Pigment Ink in Snowflake. The stamps are from the "Out of This World" stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps
The final touches to this card are super simple! I first stamped and colored the rocket ship image from the "Out of This World" stamp set. Because I colored the image with alcohol markers, I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I did fussy cut the image so I could pop it up with a bit of foam tape.
And finally, I added a sentiment banner. I went with the "I Hope Your Birthday is a Blast!" sentiment from the same stamp set. Versafine Clair in Nocturne is the ink I used because it is my FAVORITE to use for sentiment because it is so crisp!
I hope you all enjoyed a look at how to create shaped card fronts and you found a few ways to incorporate this technique into your own cardmaking!
If you are interested in any of the stamp sets I used today,they are listed and linked down below! Until next time, happy crafting!!
Customization stamps are fun because the possibilities are endless! A stamp platform is beneficial when building images for proper placement. The little embellishments I enjoyed stamping and placing on the cards. I used The Christmas Cocoa Stamp set to create these cards.
I used pop dots on the image to make it POP, but able to still put it in the mail with no additional postage.
The little heart is so cute and perfect for winter and/or Valentine's Day! To add dimension to this card I used foam to mat the image on. I found the foam at the dollar tree in the kids' section in a pack of 20, Not only was it cheap, it also die cuts beautifully.
Don't be afraid to use things from other places on your cards and in your craft! The results can be stunning!
Until next time ~ Happy Crafting!

Today I have a card that I made using the Whale Hello There stamp set. Have you take a look of this stamp set? It is adorable and perfect to coloring.
If you are thinking that this model of card is to hard to make, you are wrong. To be honest it is really easy if you create your own pieces to make the waves. I have a complete step by step tutorial of this card here in my Stampartpapel Blog.
I used all the pieces that I obtained with my die cuts to create this card and three images included on the stamp set Whale Hello There. All my images where stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored them with Alcohol Markers. You can see more details HERE in my Stampartpapel Blog.

Hi, Connie here with a cute and easy candy wrapper project using several of the January releasestamps from Joy Clair. This project, is one of those, that can be adapted to an event, an occasion or holiday. I used #single,Lucky Charms and Easter Greetings to create these fun candy wrappers.
Here are two different examples of the candy wrapper using the Joy Clair stamps. I don't have measurements because they might be different depending on the candy bar or treat bar you wanted to cover. All I did was lay the candy bar down and wrap my paper around and then trimmed the paper until the size was right. It takes maybe 2 minutes to get the paper sized.
I used a border punch on this one. The rabbits are stamped with gray ink and the lips and flowers were colored in by watered down red acrylic paint. It is what I had out on my work table so that is what I used. A red ink marker would work well also for adding color to the lips and flowers. The front is speckled with white ink. All the images and sentiments were stamped on white cardstock and then cut out. They were arranged on the front of the candy wrapper and then adhered down. The wrapper is secured with double sided tape and tied with twine. Stamps used are from Lucky Charms, Easter Greetings and #single stamp sets.
This one is created very much the same as the first candy wrapper shown. I did use scrap papers and I loved that!! The fun element on this one is the paper was run through a paper crimper. I love the look it gave the wrapper. The images were stamped out matted on cardstock and adhered to the wrapper front. The color to the heart and word "Happy" were added with red acrylic paint. The wrapper is secured with double sided tape and tied with twine. The stamps used are from the #single set.
It's Ceal, here to share with you today. You know Valentines day is in a couple days and even though it is one of my favorite holidays to make and send cards out, some people dread this day. So today's card is for those of you who do not look forward to valentines day at all and hopefully this card will make you smile and make even giggle.
I was once in your shoes, I wasn't in a relationship so I kinda dreaded the day also and then I thought, valentines day is not really about having a boyfriend, husband, partner or significant other, it's all about love and I am up for that so I started making and sending cards to those I loved and it made me love the holiday once again.
To create this card, I started with a white top folding card base. I used a mask of a heart shape and placed it down on the right side of the card front. Next I used a paw print stencil and placed it over the entire card front, then using some blender brushes I blended gray ink through the stencil over the card base but leaving the heart shape mask while I blended the ink. I removed the mask and then stamped the kitties from the set Best Buds and then colored them using Copic markers making one of them a tabby because I love tabbies and calico cats but didn't try my hand at coloring the calico one, I just colored the other one gray like a Siamese. To finish the card I stamped the greeting from the #single set which has so many fun greeting to make that card for those who need a pick me up on valentines day.

Hello everyone! It's Lindsay from the design team here with you today and I am super excited to share another video tutorial! Let me just say that this stamp set is going to be a favorite for a lot of people for Valentine's Day, but it isn't a love dovey traditional Valentine's set, it's a stamp set for all of those single people or those whose favorite holiday maybe isn't Valentine's Day and it's called #single!! I made a quick and fun card, with an ombre stenciled background and if you want to see all the details on how I made it, watch the video tutorial down below!
The background on this card is super simple to make. You just need a stencil, a few different shades of the same color of ink, and a blending brush or sponge! I like to start with the lightest color of ink and blend it through the entire stencil for a nice base layer and easier blending. Then, I move onto the medium shade and blend it starting at the top (or bottom) and I blended that color to the middle of the card base in this case. Finally I blend the darkest shade and bring it only about the quarter of the way down. If need be, you can use the lightest shade to blend any stubborn colors, but I used my oval blending brushes so I didn't need to!
I also made another smaller panel with a fun background to put the sentiment onto. To make this background, I stamped the heart image in the #Single stamp set several times with Memento Tuxedo Black ink to make a quick pattern. And then all that was left to do was color in the images with alcohol markers.
I wasn't quite sure how to put the sentiment onto this card, but what I finally decided to do was stamp the sentiment and heat emboss with black embossing powder onto vellum. And because I wanted the sentiment to stand out just a bit more I doubled up the vellum for more opacity. To finish off the sentiment I added the #single sentiment that I heat embossed in white onto black cardstock!
When I make cards I always try and bring a little of the design on the outside, to the inside as well. On my card here, the inside was SUPER simple to make. All I did was use one of the inks that I used for ink blending, to stamp a quick sentiment on the inside of the card!
I hope you all enjoyed today's video tutorial!! If you are interested in any of the stamps that I used on my card today, you will find it linked down below! Until next time, Happy Crafting!!
