Joy Clair Color By Faith Inspiration with Rinea Foils

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here today with two projects using stamps from Joy Clairs Color By Faith line and Rinea Foil Papers.
I had never used this paper before, and I really do find that I like it. As you will see in my two projects today, the foil works great with both embossing folders and dies. For my projects today I used Be a Flamingo and Noah's Ark stamp sets that were in the August 2017 release.

For my first project "Be a Flamingo" I started with Recollections 110 lb white card stock, and cut to a2 size top folding card base. I then cut a layer slightly smaller at 4" x 5.25". My layer of Rinea paper is 3.75" x 5" and embossed with a cloud embossing folder and affixed with double stick tape. I used a cloud die to cut the waves from dark blue foil paper and the gold is to be the sandy beach.
I stamped the flamingo and cut her out with my Scan n Cut 2 machine, I really love being able to stamp and scan my images, however with each stamp set purchased from JoyClair.com you will be emailed the electronic file to cut the images with your cutter of choice (Silhouette/Cricut/Brother).
My Flamingo is stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and the sentiment is stamped using Ranger Salmon. I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color the image. Along the bottom of the card I stamped the birds from the Song of Solomon stamp set which was released in 2016. I thought of these little birds as soon as I saw this stamps set was coming out, and knew immediately my project would be similar to this. The birds are stamped using Staz-On ink.

My second project today is using Noah's Ark. The background while I would love to take credit for the stormy look, is from the DCWV "the Girlhood Stack" released in 2012. The rainbow is from a DCWV 8x8 pad however I can not find the name of it at this time. And cut with an MFT die.

The clouds and sentiment were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black, the ark was stamping using GinaK Honey Mustard. The clouds were colored using Stormy Sky and Broken China distress Inks.

The water waves were cut using some wave dies from my stashed, and it was all put together on an A2 card base from Recollections 110 lb card stock.

StyleTec aka Tape Technologies Helping Me To Organize My Design Team Projects

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here today with an idea I had to keep my design team products straight each month.
This Iris box measures 13"x13" and is 3" deep. I used the software for my Silhouette Cameo and using the Tape Technologies by StyleTech vinyl in Glossy I cut each of my design team names, as well as some fun crafty products that I made within these teams.

Using this box each month I be able to keep the items I need for my projects together until they are complete. This way if we decide to travel I can pretty much grab and go.

Please be sure to check out the other design teams posts and see the wonderful creations they have made as well.

Fall In Love- With Joy Clair

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. Today I am here bringing you a card using this great stamp set "Fall In Love"

In order to make this project I first tool a panel of Recollections 110 lb card stock cut at 4" x 5.25" and placed a piece of Post-It tape across where I wanted to put the sentiment. I then grabbed my mini misti from the April collaboration with MSP and arranged the first layer of stamps how I wanted them to appear. Using Memento Dew Drop inks because they are small, I was able to use stamp the images without having them smudge. I chose to use the dye inks as they dry super fast.
Once I had all of the first layers stamped, I moved on to the second. I followed all this up by removing the post-it tape and placing the sentiment, and used Brilliance Coffee Bean ink to stamp the impression.
After I was sure the sentiment was dry, I rounded the alternating corners, I used double side tear tape to adhere this panel to a Kraft A2 card base. And with this my project was complete.

I hope you have enjoyed this bit of inspiration, don't forget to follow us on our social media venues to be the first to hear the news, sales, promotions and giveaways!

Back To School with Quick Quotes

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my take on a school box and supplies for back to school.

I used both sides of two sheets from the Serenade paper pack on this project (this paper is currently available in the September Club Q), and really hope you like it.

I wanted to put this together in a set that a teacher may enjoy. So six altered paperclips, 3 flags on the end of each paper side. The ruler is also backed with each side, the pen I used the strip side out, and the clipboard has the blue on one side and strips on the back. The ribbon on the clipboard and pen came from a Club Q pack in February, as well as the flowers. I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the Back To School title from the same paper. The school box itself I purchased at Dollar General and covered it on all sides with 2 cuts of the paper.

I hope you have liked today's project. I only wish I had a teacher to give it to, perhaps my great nephew can give it to his Kindergarten teacher, although they have been back to school for two weeks already.

Thank you for stopping by, please follow my blog and have an awesome day.

Quick Quotes Pocket Letter Adventure Awaits

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here today with a fun way to use up some product and share with a friend.
I am using items from the June Club Q kit along with paper from Adventure Awaits paper pack, Quotes and Phrases from Adventure Awaits, and Anchors Aweigh Chipboard Die Cuts.

Using Adventure Awaits AD105, and AD100 I cut 9 rectangles measuring 3.75" x 2.5". These are the front and back pages of the pockets. The front of the pocket is a sentiment from the Anchors Aweigh Chipboard Die Cuts, and another is in one of the pockets.

After filling all the pockets with fun items from the June Club Q kit that I had left over, I added the chipboard sentiment on the front, along with a cute little pirate girl that my friend Meghan colored. I printed the image with my Canon Selphy printer and cut it out with my Scan N Cut.

This project is being sent to a friend who just returned home from her first visit to the beach in her life. I am sad she did not choose to visit Florida for that trip, but from what she has said she had fun none the less. She is also new to scrapbooking so this I thought would be a great way to send her some supplies.

Little Monsters- Joy Clair Blog Hop Day 2

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. LeeAnn here with my inspiration post using our new Color By Faith set called Little Monsters. These little guys are simply adorable, and this was the first set out of our kit that I started playing with.

This was a fun one, I took out the mini misti and arranged the stamps around the edge of an A2 panel that I had cut to 5" x 3.75". I then used my Memento Dew Drops to stamp each word in Rainbow Pattern.
While that dried I colored the little monsters with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The box is a die from Neat & Tangled, cut on DCWV card stock.

I hope you enjoyed this project, and use it to provide some inspiration for your own project.

Now come and join us for the last day of the blog hop and remember that we always have prizes for our readers and visitors that comment HERE on our corporate blog and in ALL designers blogs.
