The Month Of Love – February Anything Goes Challenge

Joy Clair Clear Stamps

Hello everyone… The month of Love is here. I can feel the love is in the air… And today I have couple of love themed cards to share with you.

My cards are inspired by the photo inspiration from Joy Clair February Challenge. You are invited to join their challenge this month. You can create anything goes project(card, mixed media, art journal, gift, etc.) inspired by the photo above, it could be the one of the images, the color combo, the love themed… pretty much any inspiration you get from the photo. You can use any stamps you have, but if you have any Joy Clair stamps, we would love to see how you use it on your project, too 🙂

You can link up your project here until February 27th. The more you link up, the more chances you have to the the gift certificate to Joy Clair store. The winner will chosen randomly and will be announced on Joy Clair blog.

I created my cards using the new stamp sets from Joy Clair called Scriptures of Love, Love Languages, and Valentine Background Builder.

On this first card, I stamped directly on the card base the 2 pattern stamps from the Valentine Background Builder using 2 shades of pinks: Memento Dew Drop Angle Pink and Rose Bud.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Love Languages with Memento Tuxedo Black, and then stamped the heart arrow with Memento Dew Drop London Fog and Rhubarb Stalk. I added the sentiment strip on the card with adhesive glue.

I finished the card with Doodlebug pink twine and some white peal gems.

And for the second card, I created the watercolor background first. I added randomly some pink wash watercolored paint on a watercolor paper. Then I sprayed some water, and dabbed it off with paper towel for some splatter texture on it. I dried the watercolor panel with craft heater.

Next, I stamped the heart pattern stamp from Valentine Background Builder with TE Cherry Ink Pad. Then I tore the edges to create a square shape. I added on the card with adhesive glue.

I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Scriptures of Love with extra fine white embossing powder, cut it with circle die ad added on top of the watercolor panel with adhesive glue.

I finished this card with some Doodlebug red twine and white pearl gems, too.

I hope these cards can give you some inspirations to create some cards to spread the love with others 🙂

THANK YOU so much for stopping by my blog today. Have a wonderful day and YOU ARE LOVED!

Hello Friend CAS Card

Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… Today I have a friendship themed card that I would love to share with you. It is a clea-and simple card that is very easy to make 🙂

I created this Hello Friend card using Pink & Blue Watercolored Digital Papers and Friends Like You Digital Stamp from Graciellie Design.

I printed the digital paper on white cardstock and trimmed it down to fit on the front of the top folded card. I added some gold foil at the center of the flowers and some gold dots on the paper using Foil Pen and DecoFoil Gold. Then I added it on the card.

I printed the sentiment on another white cardstock and trimmed it down into sentiment strip. I added it on the card with adhesive.

I finished this card by wrapping it with natural twine ribbon.

This card I sent to a swap friend from January Card Chain Challenge. If you like making cards and also like to send it out, then this challenge is perfect for you. You still have time to sign up for the February Card Chain Challenge that is open until February 6th.

Bridge Card With Gnome Is Where The Heart Is

Joy Clair

I am back with a fun fold card called Bridge Card using the new released stamp set, Gnome Is Where The Heart Is. The images and sentiments from this set are super adorable!

I have been looking for some fun fold card ideas and I found several tutorials on Pinterest and YouTube. You can simply search using the word Bridge Card and you’ll find many results that you can choose from.

This video tutorial is one of the tutorials I found, if you would like to check. And My card is 5.5″ x 4.25″ and fits in a regular A2 envelope when it is fold flat. I used watercolor paper for my card. You can use regular or heavy weight cardstocks, too.

I share the full details and steps how I created my card on Joy Clair Blog today. I hope you all can visit me there 🙂

And before you go, I would like to remind you that Joy Clair December/Challenge is still open for you to play along. GO HERE for the theme, inspiration photo and projects from the team.

Floral Heart Gift Bag

Graciellie Design

Hello everyone… I am back today with a gift idea for Valentine’s Day. I made this Floral Heart Gift Bag using digital stamp, digital paper, and box die set.

To make this bag is pretty easy. I cut out the bag using ODBD – Card Caddy & Gift Bag Dies using heavy weight white cardstock. And I put the pieces together with ScorPal double sided tape.

Then, I printed out the 2 patterns from the Graciellie Design – Pink & Blue Watercolored Digital Papers on white printing papers. And I printed the floral heart image and sentiment from Graciellie Design – Floral Heart & Banners Digital Stamps on white cardstock.

I trimmed the floral blue paper into 5″ x 3.75″ and I added the paper on the front of the bag with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive Glue. I like this glue for 4 reasons: quickly dries clear, no-wrinkle, and super strong, works on any materials.

Next, I trimemd the checkers patterned paper into 4.5″ x 3.25″ and added it on white cardstock. After that, I used glue pen to draw lines around the edges, let it dried, and added the Gold Foil Paper on it. I added the panel on the bag with the same adhesive glue.

To embellish this bag, I fussy cut the Floral Heart and trimmed the sentiment banner to fit on the bag. I added the sentiment first, and added the heart on it. And finished the bag with some pearl gems on it.

My bag is done 🙂 I hope you enjoy it and inspired to make your own gift bag for your loved ones.

THANK YOU so much for stopping by my blog today. Hope you all have a fabulous day!
