National Coffee Day 2019

Hello friends!



It's that time of the year again - time to celebrate all things COFFEE! AHHH - coffee!  One of my fave treats!

I'm celebrating with the Joy Clair Coffee Stamp extravaganza! I created the following two cards using two of my favorite coffee themed Joy Clair Stamps - Coffee Love and Coffee & Jesus!

I used the Welcome Home paper pack from Carta Bella as my base. The images were stamped and colored with Tonic Nuvo Marker Pens. I hope you like them!




Did you know that Joy Clair has TONS of coffee themed stamps? There is a full category of them! You can find them HERE.  You can save on all your coffee purchases using code NCD2019 and shop here.



Thanks for checking out my COFFEE love post!  See ya soon!

Artsystamper - Fruit Stand Bookmark Gift Card

Hello friends!



Happy Tuesday!

I'm sad to say that this will be my last post as part of the Artystamper design team. HOWEVER, it will definitely not be the last time you will see me using these beautiful stamps!

Here is handmade card  for this week:




For this card, I started off by printing the Tall Tags in a 5x7 form and trimming out. I added some cute ribbon/lace accents to create mini bookmarks!



To make the card portion, I used the orange/white background paper from the Fruit Stand Paper Pack and printed it off. I used it to make the background and then created a small pocket on the front to hold the bookmarks!



I had printed out two copies of the Tall Tags - and needed and sentiment for the card - so I fussy cut out the basket of oranges along with the "sign" part and adhered with some 3D foam tape. A tiny bit of Lemonade glitter was added to the oranges for sparkle.  I think this would be a cute card to gift to a teacher or your favorite librarian, don't you?

Joy Clair Hope & Rinea

Hello friends!

I have another beautiful new release  Joy Clair Stamp Set & Rinea collaboration to share with you today!   I'm using a new release called "Hope".  It is a really inspiring and uplifting stamp from the Color by Faith line of stamps. I combined it with the Princess Foiled Paper Variety Pack from Rinea.


 

Here is HANDMADE CARD I created:


I stamped the ribbon and boxing glove images onto the Rinea Foiled paper using Stazon Ink and fussy cut them out. Stazon ink does work the best with the foiled papers. I really loved the Pink & Silver Starstruck Combo.







I finished off the card with a few Nuvo Glitter Drops & ribbon.


Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card!  See you again soon!

Happy Tuesday and Welcome September!  Where did the summer go?

Here it is!  Part 4 - the grand finale of my Mermaid Series for the Artystamper design team. I hope I have given you many ideas to use your Mermaid Wishes Digital Stamp Set .

I had made a mermaid scale background using various Glitters Galore colors, so I thought it was a perfect fit for this final card!!  A bit of tulle and a whole bunch of Nuvo Crystal Dew Drops perfected the final card along with another cute paper clip anchor.

Rinea Fall Burlap Banner

Hello friends!

Happy September!  I have a beautiful Rinea creation to share with you today!  We are having fun this month collaborating with Joy Clair Stamps!  I hope you enjoy all the designers have in store for you.

Here are the products you will need for this project:
(I used these colors from the pack:
Starstruck Marigold Orange
Glossy Ruby/Gold
Glossy Marigold/Gold
Glossy Mocha/Gold)

Joy Clair Fall Greetings Stamp Set

Liquid Adhesive

Burlap
Jute Twine

Stazon Ink

Chipboard Pieces

For this project, I did a few different techniques.  First, using the Glossy Mocha/Gold foiled paper, I covered two leaf/feather style chipboard pieces. I sanded off the edges to mold to the chipboard, then inked the edges with Stazon Ink & did some random stamping with a leaf stamp.



I used a chipboard tag and covered with Glossy Marigold/Gold. Set this aside for another step.


I stamped a few of the different leaf images onto all 3 glossy colors, then fussy cut them out.

 

I handcut a pennant shape from my burlap fabric (I just picked this up from our local fabric shop).

I used the "Give Thanks" sentiment from the gorgeous stamp set for my tag, using Stazon on stamp it. I used a variety of the fussy cut leaves to decorate the tag.  Once I had all my pieces, I tied some jute twine around the elements, then glued them down to my burlap pennant.



 



 

I love how beautifully this turned out!  Sometimes simple is beautiful, don't you think?

Have a great day!
