Hello everyone… Happy Monday! This week I am joining the STAMPlorations team as guest designer to celebrate their 4th Birthday! And this birthday celebration last for the whole week with blog hops, link ups, and lots of prizes to win.

This blog hop today starts from STAMPlorations blog where you can see the full inspirations and informations on the Birthday Celebrations Hop and Wishlist Linky Party. To enter the giveaway, please continue reading…

Today I have you cards that I created using the new STAMPlorations stamp sets and CUTplorations. My first card I created with a shadow-die cutting technique using the Blossom Sprays #1 – Dee’s Artsy Impressions and Cheers Word Stamp & Die.

I stamped the blossom image with archival permanent ink on a watercolor paper, and before I colored them, I die-cut the word cheers and put the pieces a side.

I colored them with watercolor paint and die cut it again with a stitched rectangle die from my stash.

After the panel dried well, I added it on the black card base with adhesive runner, and then I added the cheers die-cut word with 3D foam tape for extra dimension on it.

And for my second, I created it using the new stamp sets: Bold Sentiments – Beautiful and Blossom Sprays #1 – Dee’s Artsy Impressions.

I also stamped the image on a watercolor paper with black archival ink pad, then I watercolored it with some watercolor paint. And I die-cut it with a pierced rectangle die from my stash. I added the panel on a white card base.

For the sentiment, I stamped it on a piece of vellum paper that I already cut it down to with just on top of the image. I used archival ink pad also. It took a while to let the ink dry, but if you are in hurry, after you stamp the image with archival ink, add some clear embossing powder on it and heat set it. Or you also can just dry it with craft heater, but need to be very careful to not heat it too long, the vellum paper can curl.

I added the vellum paper on the card with some vellum adhesive that dries clear. And I finished this card with some white pearl gems.

And now to the Birthday Celebration…

Hello from Indonesia! Summer is here for sure! I hope you all have been having fun doing outdoor activities with your family and friends. We are now in Indonesia and enjoying the time with our family and friends. More pictures later 🙂

This month at Joy Clair blog, the Design Team members are show-casing tips and tutorial how to embellish your projects with anything that bling 🙂 Birthday cards with blings are more fun!

I have like a birthday card to share with you that I created using Let’s Celebrate Clear Stamps and to how I embellished it with some gems for extra bling on the cake and the girl. I also have so much fun creating the background and watercoloring them. Visit Joy Clair Blog for full tutorial post and more pictures!

Before I go, I have a tip how to clean your stamps after stamping.

Before I removed them from the Mini MISTI lid, I sprayed them with Joy Clair Stamp Cleaner, and wiped them of with baby wipes (a cloth or paper towel work, too!). I love this stamp cleaner! It cleans all kind of dye inks of clear stamps. You should check it out 🙂

I hope you all are inspired today to create something pretty and share the joy with others in your life through your handmade. For more inspirations and update news, make sure to follow Joy Clair at:
