Joy Clair Everyday Collection – Inspirational Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello everyone! Welcome to Joy Clair Every Day Collection – Inspirational Blog Hop. So glad you are here!

The end of school year is in less than 2 weeks. We start thinking about how we can express our gratitude to our children’s teachers for all their hard works all year long. And, my projects today are a card and gift bag for special teacher that I created using the new released Teacher Stamp Set. You can check all the new release stamps at the store today!

I use cardstocks and patterned cardstocks from Bazzill Basics Paper to make the card and the gift box.

For the watercolored tag, coffee cup, and apple, I stamped them on watercolor paper and colored them with Arteza Real Brush Pens. I also heat embossed the cup with gold/glitter embossing powder mix.

I use the Card Caddy and Gift Bag Dies to make the gift bag, Stitched Tag Nesting Dies for the gift tag, and Sparkling Starts Dies to make the shaker on the card.

I use VersaFine Clair ink pads for stamping.

May Challenge

AAA Card Challenge And Joy Clair | Hello

Hello everyone… First of all… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all of you, amazing moms! You are not a hero to the world but you are the hero of your family. Nothing is like you!

Today, I have a clean and simple, one layer card to share with you all that I created with Joy Clair stamps: My Cup Runneth Over stamp set and Hello Sentiments stamp set.

I stamped the cup image on Bazzill cardstock (the card base) with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad, a little bit off the edge. After that, I dried the ink with craft heater and I colored it with Arteza watercolor pencils and water brush. I am so impress with Bazzill cardstock that can hold the water really well.

I simply stamped the sentiment on the card with VersaFine Clair Ink Pad.

I am playing along with the AAA Cards, CAS Game #140. This time the challenge is to create a CAS card with this this theme: Up to One Third with a Bright Colours Twist. I hope this card can give you an idea to create for this challenge. I thought rainbow color is bright colours, too.

Joy Clair is the sponsor for this challenge and they are giving away a $25 gift certificate to spend at the Joy Clair store.

Thank you so much for stopping by… Have a fabulous day!

Things With Wings Blog Hop and Link Up Party | Spread Your Wings and Be Ready To Soar

Hello hello hello… Welcome back to my blog today! Today, I have a Spring themed mixed media card to share with you all.

Today I join STAMPlorations for the 2019 Things With Wings Blog Hop. I join this 31 Days of Celebrating Spring with this mixed media card.

I used 2 of my newly released ARTplorations Stencils (Make Marks 4 and Make Marks 5), Gelli Art Plate, and heavybody acrylic paints to create the monoprint background. I added the background panel on a white card base with permanent adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Trendy Birds 2 stamp set directly on the background panel with VersaFine Clair Nocture ink pad and then I dried the ink with craft heater.

I stamped the bird from the same stamp set with VersaFine Clair Warm Breeze ink pad on a white cardstock, dried it, and fussy cut it with micro-tip scissors.

I cut out another white cardstock using 2 dies from the Bracket Labels/Tags Nesting Dies to create the frame. I added it on the card with 3D foam tape and I added the bird on top on the frame with adhesive glue and 3D foam tape.

Hello hello hello… Welcome back to the 2019 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Today is the last day and I hope you all have been having fun creating projects and blog hopping with us!

And for this last day, I have not only one card but three cards to share with you all!

My first card is I created using the digital stamp set and digital paper from Graciellie Design, who is one of the Super Sponsors.

I printed the image on a mixed media paper in black and white using my home inkjet printer. After that, I dried the ink with craft heater.

I colored that pretty mug with Arteza watercolor and I use Signo Ball White Gel Pen to add those dots for extra texture.

The border die is from A Jillian Vance Design, who is also one of the Super Sponsors.

On my second card, I use the stamp sets and the new coffee clear sticker from STAMPlorations, who is one of the Super Sponsors. I colored the roses in the mug with Sakura Koi Water Colors and waterbrush. I added some splatters with white acrylic paint and water using fan brush.

For the background, I cut out a white cardstock with the background die from Divinity Designs, who is also one of the Super Sponsors. I added it on the dark blue card base that I made from Bazzill Cardstock.

And the third card, I used a new stamp that I got couple weeks ago from Stampendous. It is a rubber stamp with wooded block. I love the antique china cups. They remind me of the cups my grandma used to have.

I stamped the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad on a watercolor paper and colored it with Arteza Real Brush Pens and water brush. After that, I fussy cut the image with micro-tip scissors.

For the background on this card, I used the background die from A Jillian Vance Design. I cut out a white card with it and added it on a ivory card base.

I added the stacked cups image on the card and the sentiment is from the coffee stickers from STAMPlorations,

I totally have been having so much fun creating coffee and tea themed cards during this blog hop week. I would like to THANK ALL SUPER SPONSORS for their generosity and kindness they share with our Coffee Loving Cardmakers Community!

I hope you all also have a fun blog-hopping with us! And don’t forget to check out all the Super Sponsors’ websites for their special sales!
