Joy Clair's New First Coffee Stamp Set

Today's card is featuring First Coffee, one of Joy Clair's newest stamp sets.

To make this card I cut a piece of white card stock to 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches.  I used a stencil from my stash and stenciled using rainbow order from the center out to the edges. I stamped the bear and sentiment on another piece of white card stock, colored the bear with Copic markers, and fussy cut the bear and sentiment out.  I used foam tape to pop the sentiment and bear up on the card.  To ground the bear I used silver glitter washi tape from my stash under the bear and as a border around the card.  I adhered the finished card front to an A2 size purple card base.  For my final touch, I used black NUVO drops and liquid glitter splatters on the card.

New Joy Clair MASCULINE Challenge

Hello Everyone,

It's time for another Joy Clair Challenge on the Joy Clair Stamp Projects Facebook Page. An album for each challenge will be posted on the Joy Clair Clear Stamp Projects Facebook Page. Please upload your entries to this album.

The CHALLENGE today is MASCULINE CARDS/PROJECTS.   Create a card or project using a Joy Clair stamp or digital download with a masculine touch. This is a perfect opportunity to get Fathers' Day card/projects done.  A winner will be randomly picked on June 4, 2020. The winner will be able to pick a free digital download of their choice. All entries must be uploaded to the Challenge Album by 11:59 EDT on June 3, 2020.

Here is an example of the card I made using the Classic Father's Day Clear Stamp Set.

To make this card I die cut a piece of white card stock measuring 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches with a stitched die.  I used  a geometric stencil and lightly stenciled the background, gradually fading out toward the edges of the card using a blue ink and a blending brush.  I inked the edges of  the card stock with a darker blue ink.  I stamped the vehicle on a white piece of card stock, colored it with blue, black, and grey Copic Markers.  I used a silver pen to add details to the wheels, lights, and flashes on the side of the car.  I placed a back sticker line on the card, the car was placed on that to ground it.  I stamped the black flames onto the card stock and used Glossy Accents on the flames to give them shiny dimension.  I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock, embossed it with clear embossing powder, cut a tail on it and adhered it with foam tape to the top of the card.  I mounted this to a black piece of card stock cut to 1/8 inch larger than the white piece.  I glued this to an A2 ( 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches) blue card base.  I added blue Nuvo drops for a little detail.  

**Helpful Tip:  If you are going to add drops to your card for a finishing detail, wait until the card is completed and then add them.  This way you don't smear them when you are putting your card together.

A Slimline Card Featuring Joy Clair's Best Buds Stamp Set

Hello everyone!

Today I am featuring a slimline card made using Joy Clair's Best Buds Stamp Set.  I love the cute critters and the fun friend sayings in this set.  During these difficult time I really miss my friends.  This is a great way to let your friends know you are thinking about them.

  

To make this card, I first made a slimline card base out of white card stock  The card stock  is 8 inches wide and 9 inches tall. I folded the card stock in half at 4 inches.  The card base then measures 4 inches by 9 inches.  I used a die from Pinkfresh Studios to cut the aqua piece of card stock.  I placed the aqua piece on the card base without adhering it down and used a pencil to mark where each of the circles were.  I removed the aqua piece of card stock.  I die cut 3 slightly larger circles out of an alcohol ink background from my stash.  I glued them to the white card base in the penciled circles I had drawn  I stamped the images and sentiments from the Best Buds Stamp Set onto white card stock and colored the images with Copic markers. I glued the sentiments and images to the aqua card stock.  I used foam tape on the back of the aqua card stock, centered it above the alcohol inked circles and adhered it to the card base.  I used a NUVO glitter pen on each image and added sequins for a little extra sparkle.

Here is an example of the card I made.

To make this card, I used an ink smooshed background and adhered a white die cut to it.  I colored the image from the Martha's Flowers Stamp Set with Copic markers and fussy cut it and the sentiment out.  I glued the sentiment to a piece of black card stock and cut it out to make a shadow behind the greeting.  I popped up the flower piece and sentiment with foam tape.  This was mounted to an A2 size card base.  I added splatters with black ink and silver sparkle.  I used a NUVO sparkle pen on the flowers for extra sparkle.
