Hello hello hello… Christmas is about 53 more days… I am excited and love this season so much. This is the season we are celebrating the greatest gift we ever received in our lives!

Today, I am joining the Joy Clair team for the It’s The Season Event where we all showcasing the Holiday theme stamps on our projects.

I created a Christmas card with the new Penguin Tropical Christmas Clear Stamps Set and the new Christmas Light Background Stamp. Both stamp sets just released this month. Aren’t those penguins adorable?

I started with creating the background by stamping the Christmas Light Background Stamp on a piece of Canson Watercolor paper using VersaMark Ink Pad, MISTI and Misti Creative Corners. After that, heat embossing the image with Ranger Gold Embossing Powder. I heat it up with my craft heater.

I colored those lights with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Brush for extra shiny sparkles on those light bulbs…only because they are Christmas Lights…should be shiny and sparkle. After the watercolor paint dried, I trimmed the panel into 4 inch x 5.25 inch and I added it on an A2 White Card with adhesive glue.

Using my MISTI again, I stamped all the adorable images from the Penguin Tropical Christmas Clear Stamps Set using VersaFine Clair Ink Pads on another piece of Canson Watercolor paper. After stamping them all, I dried them with craft heater.

I colored them also with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Brush. I colored them outside of line, only becuase I would fussy cut all the pieces later.

After cutting them all, I added the coconut tree trunk, leaves and coconuts pieces on the card with adhesive glue.

Then I stamped the sentiment on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne, and using sponge dauber, I added some of the Vintage Photo Distress Ink on it to make it look like a wood plank. I punched the tiny holes on to of the sentiment card with WRMK Crop-A-Dile and added the natural twine ribbon on it.

To add the sentiment sign on the tree is bit tricky… So… when I glued all the leaves, actually on the top of the leaves and left the bottom of the leaves unglued. So I tucked the twine under those leaves and add a little bit of glue just to make sure the twine is secured well on the card. I added some glue also under the sentiment.

I put the pieces of clothing on those penguins with adhesive glue, and then I added them at the bottom of the card with the same adhesive. They make me smile… and I hope the recipient will be, too… and feel the warm Christmas wishes as well.

I hope you all can enjoy this card today and be inspired to create your Christmas projects. Don’t forget to hop over to Joy Clair Blog for MORE INSPIRATIONS from the team today!

Hello everyone… Let’s stepping into November with a new crafty challenge…

Here’s the festive and beautiful mood board for you for this month challenge from Joy Clair Blog.

Inspired by the mood board theme, colors and those red cups, I created this card:

On the background border, I use the Christmas Border Clear Stamps Set. I stamped the holly leaves and berries using MISTI and Creative Corners. I added the VersaFine Clair Tulip Red Ink Pad and VersaFine Green Oasis Ink Pad with sponge daubers. I stamped the image couple times for extra boldness.

I added some gold splatters on a white cardstock using one of the Gold Palette from the Finetec Metallic set. I dried it with craft heater.

I use the Christmas Cocoa Clear Stamps Set for the mugs and sentiment. I stamped the sentiment on the background panel with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink Pad and MISTI. And then I added the finished panel on the red card with adhesive glue.

I stamped the mug image couple times on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Tulip Red Ink Pad. And then I stamped the snowflake in the middle of the cup with VersaMark Ink Pad, and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and craft heater. After that, I colored both cups with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and waterbrush.

I dried the watercolored mugs with craft heater and then I fussy cut them with scissors. I added the first mug on the card with adhesive glue, and added the second mug on top of the first one with 3D foam tape for extra dimension.

There’s my Holiday coffee, CAS card for this challenge.

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hello everyone… November is here and it is the season of thanksgiving. There are many ways we can express our gratitude.

Today, I have a Thank You card to share with you all at Precious Remembrance Blog for the Project Thursday. I created this clean-and-simple card using the new Everyday Stamp Set and Fall Colors Stamp Set.

I stamped the leaves on vellum paper with VersaFine Clair – Summertime, sprinkled with some clear embossing powder, and heat it up with craft heater. After that I fussy cut the leaves with scissors.

For the sentiment, I stamped on a white cardstock with VersaFine Clair – Pinecone and then I trimmed it into a sentiment strip that fits on top of the wreath.

On a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed into 4 inch x 5.5 inch. I added some gold splatter on it with Finetec Gold Paint and small flat waterbrush. I dried it with craft heater and added it on a kraf card with adhesive glue.

I found this paper rope in my stash box and I used it as the wreath. I shaped it into circles and added it on the card with adhesive glue. I held it down until the glue dried with couple acrylic blocks for couple of minutes.

I added couple of the vellum embossed leaves on the wreath with adhesive glue, and then I added the sentiment strip on it with 3D foam tape.

I hope you all like this clean-and-simple card with a twist of layers. Thank you so much for stopping by!
