Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of the Joy Clair New Release. Today I am showcasing cards made with the Spring Floral Basket Digital Stamp Set and the Bumble Bear Digital Stamp Set.
My first cards are from the Spring Floral Basket Digital Stamp Set.
For the first card, I colored the flowers with Copic markers and fussy cut them. I die cut a piece of white card stock with a background cover plate die and glued it to a blue A2 card base. I then die cut an oval out of white card stock, ink blended it with blue ink and glued it to the center of the card. I die cut an oval frame out of the same blue card stock I used for the card base and placed it around the ink blended oval. I glued the flowers around the oval and the sentiment in the middle after framing it in blue card stock. I added Nuvo drops for detail.
This second card I colored the basket and flowers and fussy cut them. I die cut a piece of white card stock and water colored a blue rectangle inside and splattered it with water. I popped up the basket with foam tape and glued the sentiment above it. I adhered the die cut piece to a blue A2 card base.
My next two cards showcase the Bumble Bear Digital Stamp Set.
For this card I stenciled a honeycomb background to a white piece of card stock with yellow ink. I colored and fussy cut the images from the digital stamp set. I used an oval die and cut the stenciled background. I glued the floral image to a white A2 card base and lined around it with foam tape to make a shaker card. I added a piece of acetate to the stenciled background. I placed some seed beads and metal bumble bees inside the shaker area and adhered the stenciled background onto the card base. I glued the flowers around the oval area and added the bumble bees and sentiment. I used some sequins for sparkle. A fun shaker card.
For the second Bumble Bear card, I ink blended a white piece of card stock and die cut it with a cover plate die. I colored and cut out the images. I used the left over oval from the first card and popped it up with foam tape. I glued the bear image to the card. I added a black sticker strip under the feet to ground the bear. Sequins were added for sparkle.
***For all my digital downloads I use an 80lb white card stock and print them on a laser printer. If you don't have a laser printer you can take them to an office store to be printed. Make sure you bring your own paper. An ink jet printer is fine, but the laser makes it so much easier to use your alcohol markers with.
