Creating with Joy Clair Stamps

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I had a lot of fun creating with two stamp sets from Joy Clair Designs.  Unfortunately, the second set I used, Little Monsters, is sold out.  I really loved the card, so I decided to keep it in the blog.  The first card I am showcasing is from the Wish Big stamp set which is one of my favorites!

I decided to make a slimline card so I used the Loopy Rectangle Die by Gina Marie Designs (which can be found at joyclair.com) to cut out two difference panels.  I used the two largest dies to cut out the panels.  I cut the smaller panel using white card stock and the larger panel using yellow card stock. I used a piece of low tack tape on the bottom of the smaller panel to keep the stamped image from going out of the stitched area.  I stamped the sentiment and flowers with black ink and embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the flowers again on copy paper and cut a mask for the flowers so I could make the sky background.  I used a cloud stencil from my stash to make the background. I colored the flowers with Copic Markers.  I glued the smaller panel to the larger yellow panel and glued that to a white slimline card base, measuring 8 3/4 inches by 3 3/4 inches.  I sprayed the card with a glitter mist and added sequins for a little bling.  Slimline cards are all the rage right now and they fit nicely in a business size envelope!


The second card I used is an A2 card. 

I used a white piece of 80 pound card stock cut to 4 1/4 inches by 5 1/2 inches.  I stamped the monster images with black ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.  I  also stamped the sentiment on a scrap piece of white card stock and heat embossed it.  I stamped the words on the background in a medium grey ink. I colored the monsters with Copic Markers and used a glimmer pen to make them sparkle.    I cut out the sentiment out and glued that to a black piece of cardstock.  I popped it up with foam tape.  I die cut the panel with a die from my stash, glued that to piece of black card stock cut slightly smaller than the white A2 card.  I glued this panel to the card base and accented the card with black NUVO drops. 

I really enjoyed making these cards.  I have linked the first stamp set below.
