A Bible Journaling Page And A Mixed Media Card With Joy Clair

Hello everyone… Today I have two projects to share with you. It is a Bible Journaling Page and a Mixed Media Card using new stamp sets from Joy Clair.

My first project is a Bible journaling page using Color By Faith collection – Jesus Is My Jam. I love David and his heart. How much he loved God and most of the time his talked to God in songs and psalms. Today’s verses are from 2 Samuel 22. It is about his song of thankful to God for delivering him from his enemies. This whole passage fill with praises to who God was and for what He had done to David’s life.

I keep it clean-and-simple with my journaling so I can still read God’s word and promises 🙂

Christmas Card With ODBD Dies and Distress Inks

Hello everyone… We got some cold days lately and I am dreaming of snowy day…but I know that we won’t get snow until end of the year or early of the new year 🙂 Christmas is about 35 days from today and I have another Christmas card with ODBD Dies and Distress Inks to share with you.

Christmas Card With ODBD Dies and Distress Inks

First, I created the snowy night background using Distress Inks and some white acrylic paint. On a white heavy weight cardstock, I blended the Distress ink colors using blending tool, sprayed some water and dabbed it off with paper towel, and then I added some white acrylic platters using small flat watercolor brush. I trimmed it down to fit my front top-fold card base.

Then I cut out couple of the snow curvy slope shapes using the Curvy Slopes Dies, and added some distress ink on the edges and added them on the card with liquid adhesive.

I cut out the door pieces using the Welcoming Door Dies and Christas Door Greenery Dies. For the background wall die cut, I used white cardstock and added some Distress ink with blending tool to add some shadow. And for the door pieces and wreath pieces, I cut out using the solid color papers from Christmas 2017 Paper Collection.

I added them on the card using liquid adhesive and added some clear gems on the wreath for extra bling.

I stamped the sentiment from We’ve Moved Stamp Set with Black archival ink pad on a white cardstock, die cut it with one of the Pennant Flag Dies, and I added it on the top of the card with 3D foam tape. I also stamped the sub-sentiment beside the door using the same ink pad.

That’s all my card today. I hope this will give you some inspiration to create for this Holiday Seasons. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you all have a fabulous blessed day!

CAS Watercolored Poinsettia – Christmas Season

Hello everyone… I am back with Christmas card (again)…It is a CAS Watercolored Poinsettia Christmas Season card.

I have been making Christmas card using the Poinsettia Greetings stamp set from A Jillian Vance Design. I stamp and heat embossed the poinsettia with gold embossing powder. And then I colored them using watercolors brush pens and watercolor brush.

AJVD Christmas Season

After the watercolor paint dried, I fussy cut the flower. On my card today I only used the smaller size of poinsettia.

I die cut a one of side of the white card base using one of the Elegant Stitched Dot Edge Dies. I added a piece of clear acetate on the back of the die cut using strong double sided tape. And then I added the other piece of the edge die cut, aligned it a the bottom of the card and cut off the extra.

I added some gold metallic splatters on the card with flat watercolor brush and Finetec Gold watercolor paint.

I stamped the sentiment directly on the acetate window using StazOn Black ink pad. Then I added the flower with 3D foam tape and finished it with some of the Scralett Satin Sequins.

Today I am also sharing this card at A Jillian Vance Design Blog… I hope you find an inspiration to create your holiday project. THANK YOU so much for stopping by today. May you all have a fabulous blessed day!
