For the Project Thursday at Precious Remembrance Blog today, I have a set of One Layer Thanksgiving Cards. They are quick and easy to make. On these cards, I use the Fall Colors Stamp Set.

This type of card is perfect for mass-produce in short time for sure. Over their blog, I share more details and how I created them.

Fall In Love With Joy Clair

Hello hello hello everyone… I hope you all enjoy the Fall weather now. We have couple cooler days this week. We also start seeing some falling leaves on the ground.

Today, at Joy Clair we have a Fall in Love event where you all will see Fall themed projects from the team. And I am using the new Falling Leaves Background Stamp, Thankful and Blessed Stamp Set, and Turkey Talk Stamp Set on my CAS Fall themed card for this event.

I stamped the Falling Leaves Background Stamp with Rinea Ghost Ink Pad on the Gold Foiled Paper, after couple seconds, I wiped it off with baby wipe. And that is one way of ghosting techniques for creating background.

And then I cut it with ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies. I added it on an orange card with dries-clear adhesive glue.

I cut a piece of watercolor paper into hill shape and after that I scribble couple shade of green watercolor pencils from Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils Set. I then used the watercolor brush to blend the colors. I dried the watercolor paper and then I added it on the card with the dries-clear adhesive glue.

I stamped the pumpkin cluster from the Thankful and Blessed Stamp Set on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black and then I colored it with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and watercolor brush.

I stamped the turkey and sentiment from the Turkey Talk Stamp Set on a watercolor paper with VersaFine Onyx Black and then I colored it with Leisure Arts Watercolor Pencils and watercolor brush.

I dried all the watercolored images with craft heater and then I fussy cut them with micro-tip scissors. And then I added them on the card with 3D foam tape.

I hope you all enjoy this card today. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Hope you all have wonderful day!

Start Each Day With Grateful Heart

Every day we face with making decisions. Whether it is a small or big decision, we have to make at least one every say. And today… let’s we start it with grateful heart…

I love this Fall Wishes digital stamp set from Graciellie Design. To make this CAS card is very simple.

First, I printed the image on mixed media paper with ink jet, then colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

I fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors and then I added on the card with dries-clear glue.

I found a patterned paper from my scrap stash that I cut into large banner for the background.

I embellished this card with some gold sequins from my stash.

Check out more digital stamps at Graciellie Design Etsy Store. She has lots of beautiful designs!

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

ARTplorations Blog Hop | Mixed Media Cards

Hello everyone! Today I have two mixed media cards that I created using new stencils, word die sets, and mixed media mediums.

I am joining the STAMplorations Girls for the ARTplorations Blog Hop showcasing the new stencils by Sanna Lippert Designs.

On my first card, I use the new Lupinus ARTplorations Stencil and Birthday Wishes Phrase Die.

On a piece of watercolor paper, I added the texture paste using the Lupinus Stencil. After it dried, I added the 2 shades of purple Gelatos and using my finger to blend the colors. I added the green Gelato on the stalk and leaves and blended the color the same way I did on the flowers.

I scribble some of the blue Gelato around the flowers and blended it in with my finger to create the blue sky background. Once in a while I wet my finger with baby wipe.

I cut out the Birthday Wishes twice using purple and white cardstock. I stacked them together and added on the card with dries-clear adhesive glue. This glue dries clear and permanent.

I added some of the purple Stickles on the card and let them dried.

On this second card, I used the Fairy Tales ARTplorations Stencil, Big Hugs Phrase Die, Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

I created a watercolored background using watercolor paints. I used wet-on-wet technique. I dried the paint with craft heater and then cut it with the large size of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

I added the texture paste with the stencil and let it dried completely. After that, I run it through my laminating machine with the DecoFoil Teal foil sheet. It was fun to see the foil revealed when I removed the sheet.

I added some white acrylic paint with fan brush and then I added the background panel on a white card with adhesive glue.

I cut out the word die with black cardstock and added them on a white cardstock. I trimmed it into banner and I added it on the card with 3D foam tape. I embellished this card with some of the teal sequins I have in my stash.
