Hello everyone…I am here today in the mood of Holiday season…And I have a Poinsettia Peace CAS Mixed Media Card with A Jillian Vance Design to share with you.
I am sharing this clean-and-simple, mixed media card at A Jillian Vance Design blog. Over there you can see the full detail how I created this card using the new Poinsettia Greetings 4×6 Stamp Set and Scattered Snow Background Builder Stamp.
Hope you can meet me there and thank you for stopping by my blog today!
Hello everyone… Welcome to STAMPlorations Typografia In Faith Blog Hop and Giveaway. I hope you all will find encouragement and inspirations through this blog hop.
This blog hop starts at STAMPlorations blog where you can see the full details and participant list. Not only you will be inspired by the projects, you have many chances to enter to win the giveaway prize by visiting and leaving comments at each participant’s blog until on Monday, October 23. One randomly-chosen commenter will win her choice of 3 Typografia In Faith stamps. The Winner will be announced on Tuesday, October 24 on STAMPlorations Blog.
And for today blog hop, I have a couple of cards that I made using the new Typografia In Faith collection:
On my first card I used the Every Perfect Gift stamp on my card. First I stamp it on a piece of watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black, added some clear embossing powder on it, then heat set it with my craft heater.
I scribble some of the yellow Spectrum Noir Aqua Marker on a clear stamping blog. I then wet the stamped watercolor paper with clean water, and using the watercolor brush, I picked up the pigment and added on the wet paper to create the gradient color background. Since the image is heat embossed, it resist the watercolor paint.
When the watercolor panel dried, I run it through my diecutting machine with one of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. I added the panel on the card base from Canvas Corp with 3D foam tape and finished it with some natural twine ribbon.
The second card I created using the Glory To God Stamp. First, I created the night scene directly on the card base using heavy weight white cardstock and Distress Inks. Then I stamped the image on another heavy weight white cardstock with Fired Brick and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink using Mini MISTI so I could stamp 2 colors at the same time. To give the distressed look on the stamped image, I sprinkled some water and dabbed it right away with paper towel since it is not watercolor paper.
After that, I run it through my diecutting machine with the Stitched Winter Landscape Die and I sponged some of the same green shades from Distress Inks on the trees and house. Then I added some glitter on them with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Brush Pen. And I finished the card with some of the silver stars from Pretty Pink Post.
That’s all my cards today… I hope you all are inspired! Don’t forget to visit STAMPlorations blog to enter the giveaway and see more from the team! But…. before you go…

Hello everyone…today with a Christmas Blessings mixed media card to share with you.

Hello everyone… We are half way through October. Can’t you believe that??? Today I have a clean-and-simple Christmas Holidays card with no-stamping on it.
I used Darice Heavy weight cardstock as the cardbase, and then I used one of the retired Winter themed papers from Close To My Heart for the background.
I die cut the Stitched Winter Landscape Die out of a white cardstock and then I added it on the patterned paper with liquid adhesive. I die cut them again with the largest size of the Crazy Double Running Stitch Recangle Nesting Dies and I added it on the card base with permanent adhesive.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Happy Word Die and Holidays Word Day out of red cardstock and added them on the card with liquid adhesive.
I am inspired by the CUTplorations October Challenge:

Hello everyone… Today I have couple mixed media projects to share with you that I created using Joy Clair stamps together with some die sets, coloring mediums, and inks.
I also share the steps how I created them at Joy Clair Blog.
The first project is a set of 3 ATC cards that I created using the Little Monsters Stamp Set. It is one of the new Bible Journaling stamp sets from Joy Clair. They are super adorable monsters!!! And you can check all the Color By Faith collection here.
I stamped the monster images with Versafine Onyx Black ink pad on watercolor paper using Mini MISTI. And then I colored them with Arteza Real Brush pens only at the bottom of the image, then using watercolor brush I pulled the color toward the top to create the gradient colors. I decided to add some extra sparkles to them with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
Once they all dried, I fussy cut them with micro-tip scissors.
The background I created them with Ken Oliver Color Bursts powder. On a big piece watercolor paper, I sprinkled the powder randomly and then I sprayed with some water. I added some extra colors to make it look like galaxy background. I dried them each time I added color. And I sprinkle some of white paint with fan brush to add extra stars on it.
I used craft heater to dry my watercolored background.
And then I die cut the cards using the ATC Die Set. I cut them to 3 cards. It is not only cut the paper, but also give some embossed border line to it.
For the sentiment, I stamped them on heavy weight cardstock with… and then I die cut them with Double Stitched Pennant Flag Die Set and Luggage Tags Die Set.
This stamp set is perfect for any type of projects for sure, such as Bible journaling, cards, lunch box notes, etc…
On my second card, I use Fly With Me stamp set, die cut sets, distress inks, and alcohol markers.
First, I stamped the hot air balloons and clouds with Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad on a white heavy weight yardstick. I used my Mini MISTI stamping tool to stamp so I can get solid image by stamping each of them twice.
I colored them with ShinHan Touch Twin Markers. Then I used the Colorless Blender to get the pastel look color. Beside blending colors, the blender marker can be used to soften bright colors. After that, I added some sparkle on them with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, and cut them out with micro-tip scissors.
Next I used watercolor paper to creat the watercolored background with smooshing technique. I added the distress ink on my craft mat, sprayed with some water, and smooshed in the watercolor paper. I dried it in between adding colors to get extra texture and different shade of blu on the background. Then I die cut it out with the Double Crazy Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies. This die, not only cut the paper, but also give the embossing texture on it.
I added the background panel on the card base with lots of adhesive to make sure it adhere on it.
Next step, I die cut a heavy weight white cardstock with one of the Luggage Tag Dies, and then using the die to stencil the color inside. I picked up the color from Distress Ink using stencil brush and simply brush it inside the tag. Once I done, I removed the die.
Then I die cut the tag with the same die that i used on the background to match the border. I wrapped some twine around the edge of the tag, tied a bow, and then added on the card with 3D foam tape.
After that I added the cut out hot air balloons and clouds on the card with liquid adhesive and 3D foam tape.
My projects are done. I hope you all can enjoy them and be inspired to create with Joy Clair… And make sure to follow Joy Clair on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube for more updates, new release news, and inspirations. Thank you so much for stopping by today…
