"The Reason" New Release from Joy Clair Stamps

Let's make a Christmas card with water color and Joy Clair Stamps!

I stamped the image from "The Reason" stamp set from the new release on watercolor paper and Stazon ink. Then I proceeded to watercolor the image.

Next, I cut out some navy blue card stock to fit the card and then trimmed off the center section to mimic the raise of the star. I lined the edges with some gold foil paper and stamped the angel from the set in VersaMark and used clear embossing powder on it to blend in the background a bit.

After that, I stamped in VersaMark the sentiment from the set in the lower bottom right hand of the blue paper then used black embossing powder on it to stand out a bit more then the angel.

Lastly, I cut out a black and a gold star using my Cameo 3 (you can hand cut one if you don't have a cutting machine). I glued them together for more stability and mounted it on a foam adhesive square. Mount the card front on an A2 card base and you are done! If you want to fit this card into an envelope either make a larger envelope or cut down your card before you glue on the star and make sure it will fit in your envelope before you glue on the star or Move the star down into the card a bit.

Holidays Are Better In Flip Flops!!

In honor of World Card Making Day, I joined up with Joy Clair Stamps to make this fun holiday card from Joy Clair's new release. Don't forget to scroll all the way down this post to continue on the Around the World Blog Hop!!

The stamp set is called, "Penguins Tropical Christmas". There are a lot of fun stamps in this set. I decided to use the penguin and the bikini!!

I used the new stamp set from Joy Clair Stamps called, "Penguins Tropical Christmas". I stamped the penguin over and over, starting with the front row and then covering them with a mask as I continued to stamp up towards the top. I used the MISTI to help me keep them all in a row.

When I was finished I stamped a pink bikini on one of the penguins and colored all the beaks. For some added dimension I added Crystal Effects to the bathing suit to make it shinny and stand out a bit more.

Lastly, I stamped the one of the sentiments from the set onto some bright cardstock and used a die that look like a sun and mounted it on some foam adhesive dots. Mounted the card on pink then black card stock and added my card front to an A2 card base.
