Thinking Of You with Joy Clair Designs

Greetings friends and fellow crafters... It is my favorite time of the Spring/Summer season!!! The Coffee Lovers Hop is here!!!

Today I have this "Thinking of You" card using the digital "Cup of Joy" stamp set from Joy Clair Designs. To make this card I printed this image using my Brother Laser printer, and cut it out using my Brother Scan N Cut. I then used my Ohuhu Alcohol markers to color the images in bright Springy colors. 

For the background layer which is Watercolor paper, I spritzed water on my layer and added some Chartreuse Color Burst powders.

Once that panel was dry, I adhered it to a layer of black cardstock and then to my cardbase using liquid glue. The Cup of Flowers is adhered using Foam adhesives and the sentiment panel was attached using liquid glue. I added a couple strips of Love From Lizi Glitter peel off's to the sentiment panel to complete my project.

Friendship Blooms with Joy Clair Designs

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with a super shiny friendship card I made using Joy Clair Designs, Floral Joy digital stamp set.

I'm not sure if you have read this in the past however, I just love working with digital stamps. The ability to maneuver them around, flip flop them, resize them and use them how you like. Sentiments can be make smaller or larger and I just love it.


For today's card, I printed the set on 110lb White Recollections Cardstock using my Brother Laser printer.
To print on this thick of cardstock I use the manual feed in the front of the machine without problems.
The Brother Scan N Cut to cut out the images, and left a .04 border around each.
To create my focal points, I warmed up my Heidi Swapp Mini Minc and put the image and Gold Minc Foil in the transfer sheet.
This set was then run it though the Minc and after a quick burnishing, peeled the foil sheet back and Boom.
The focal image is BEAUTIFUL The same foiling method was completed with the sentiment I wanted to use which came from a different image set... Spring Floral Basket.

The sentiment and main panel are layered on black cardstock. My back panel is a Gold and White sheet of cardstock from DCWV's Gold Foil Mat Stack. Nuvo Liquid glue was used to adhere the panels together, and Foam adhesive to adhere the flower image and sentiment.

I just love how this angle shows all the foiling. and layers.

CASE The Fellow Blogger Hop

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, it's LeeAnn and today I am participating in a just for fun hop, where the participants each chose a fellow crafter signed up for the hop and are CASEing a card of theirs.

For my project I chose to CASE my friend Donna... she and I have been online friends since my first real design team back in 2016, we have met in real life twice when she came down to FL on vacation, and wow did we have fun both times.  SO... the project I chose to CASE is:

This was on Donna's blog back in June 2019 HERE

I love this card, how the roses  look so real, and the framing is just perfection. SO... With that I changed things a little and made it my own...

Of course I had to make this a shaker card. I used the GinaK designs Peaceful Roses stamp set image, and then the sentiment came from the Hero Arts & Gina K Friendship Blooms Collaboration stamp set. 

I stamped on Vellum using GinaK Amalgam Ink and colored using Karin Brushmarker Pro for the flowers and Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers for the Leaves. I used a Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Brush Pen for blending and sparkle.

I used the Katscrappiness Woodgrain Frame die to make my shaker frame. I cut 6 frames from Dusty Rose cardstock and the top layer is Rinea Foil Paper. I know Purple is Donna's favorite color so that is where the color inspiration came from. 

When the card is opened, you will see on the left that the panel is clear, leaving way for the recipient to enjoy the shaker element from the inside as well. The Acetate is a 4.25x5.5" panel from Katscrappiness, and then I used the KatScrappiness Embossed Edge Nesting Dies to cut that inside white frame to showcase the shaker element. The out from that frame is attached to the opposite panel for writing to the recipient.

I hope you have enjoyed this project today. Please do a search for #casethefellowcreator for the blogs and youtube for those having fun in this hop.

Joy Clair Designs Spring Floral Basket Friendship Card

Greetings friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my Monday post with Joy Clair Designs. For today's post I used Spring Floral Basket digital stamp set.

This set is great, eight awesome floral images and 6 sentiments, for the option of many card designs.

In making this card I broke out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to give them another try. Watercolor is not my forte, however I am trying. I laid down my darkest colors on the outside edges and lightest on the inside, then used a Spectrum Noir shimmer blend to blend the colors together. I really love the shimmer this adds to my floral element.
For the background I used a slim embossing folder and ran it through my Vagabond 2 once, moved it down and ran it through again for a larger area of coverage. I then used Silver Glitter LFL Peel Off's above and below the embossed area to finish that part off. This panel was cut to 4" x 5.25" and layered on a black cardstock panel which was then layered on my 4.25"x 5.5" card base.
I trimmed the sentiment down and layered it on a black panel as well, for a little pop.

Joy Clair May Release Day 2

Hi there friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with my Day 2 post for the Joy Clair Designs May 2020 Release. 

Today's projects including cards made using Spring Floral Baskets and Bumble Bear digital stamp sets.

For my first project using Spring Floral Baskets, I think this is my favorite image from the set as I have used it several times. For this card I printed the set, and cut it using my Scan n Cut machine. My pink panel background is a die from KatScrappiness that I just do not use often enough but seemed fitting for his card. 

I colored my flower image using Watercolor pencils and blended using Clear Glitter Wink of Stella. I added a few dewdrops to the center of the flowers as well as around the card base attached the sentiment using liquid adhesive and the flower spray using Adhesive tape for slight dimension. 

For my second project, this Bumble Bear was just screaming for a shaker element. I used a Sun Ray stencil for the background which I used Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide on a panel of Broken China. My images were first printed using my laser printer, and I used a gold foil that barely took, however it did give a trim. I colored the image using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and on the top honeycomb I  used clear glitter Wink of Stella to blend it. The shaker element was made using 2 hexagon shaped dies along with black and gold cardstock. I decided to enclose the "hello Sunshine" sentiment inside the shaker for added fun.
