Joy Clair - "Teacher" New Release

Hello friends!

It's NEW RELEASE time at Joy Clair stamps, and I can't wait to share with you a beautiful new stamp called "Teacher". It's PERFECT for those end of year teacher gifts!  Of course we are still partnering with Bazzill Basics Paper for these creations.

For this first card, I used the Dotted Swiss Cardstock for my background and my base was a neutral white. Some organza ribbon and twine were used to embellish along with some candy dots.

For this second card, I also used the Dotted Swiss Cardstock, along with multiple shades of the solid core cardstock.  On the light purple, I used an embossing folder to add some flowers for texture.  I also added a piece of the foiled hearts cardstock along the middle for a little dimension.

I stamped the apple onto a piece of the dotted swiss cardstock and fussy cut out. The sentiment was stamped using a black ink and I just added a bit of watercoloring.  I kept the embellishments simple on this one - just a few Nuvo Vintage Drops.

I hope you love these cards and pick up this adorable stamp set to use to make your own teacher cards. Don't forget your Bazzill cardstock!! :)

Until next time,

Jess

Rose Heart with SparkleNSprinkle

Hello crafty friends!

It's time for a January New Release from SparkleNSprinkle!  I am featuring the Rose Heart Rubber Stamp Set!  It's a gorgeous stamp that you can layer with and do two-step stamping.  It's a really versatile set, and perfect for making those special Valentine's Cards! 

First, as always, my SNS Supply List:

Stamps: 
Rose Heart 939
Embossing Powders:
Copper EP236
Rosa EP462
Lana Pink EP150
Ink:
Versamark VM001
Nuvo Hybrid Black Shadow 201N
Adhesives:
1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04
Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive 200N
Other:
Nuvo Gilding Flakes - Copper 852N
HAI Sequins Flower Cups HAI-SEQ-006

-------> To create my background, I did random stamping on a piece of kraft cardstock using the heart stamps and Black Shadow Ink. I really wanted a random pattern.  For one of the hearts, I stamped the second layer with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder. The panel was cut to a 3.75x5 inch piece. This gave a nice focal point.

 

On a separate piece of cardstock I did the multi-layer stamping with light pink, dark pink and the Black Shadow Ink, then fussy cut out the heart. 

 

Now, I decided to have a bit of fun with my Embossing Powders!  I created my own "custom blend" using Rosa, Lana Pink and finely crushed up Sunkissed Copper Gilding Flakes!! I always have a few empty jars on hand so I can put my "custom creations" in them.  You can also purchase them HERE if you want to grab some for yourself!  I applied strips of 1/2" Tear-ific Tape around the outside edge of my cardbase, then removed the protective backing and sprinkled on my custom blended embossing powder. I made sure to heat set well. Then I added my kraft panel (with Tear-ific Tape of course!), popped up my fussy cut heart and stamped a sentiment using Versamark Ink. I heat embossed the sentiment with Rosa Embossing Powder and adhered it with foam squares. 

 

Embellishments were some simple gold/white twine from my stash along with some of the HAI Supply Flower Cup Sequins (which were adhered with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive).

SparkleNSprinkle - Paisley Elephant

Hello friends! :)

It's time for another SparkleNSprinkle New Release card!!  For this card, I used the brand new release stamp set called "Amazing You - Paisley Elephant". 

Here is my supply list:

SNS Supplies

Amazing You - Paisley Elephant Stamp Set #884

Blue Raven Opaque Glitter - G1024

Lemon Sorbet Embellishment Mousse - 805N

Clear Detail Embossing Powder EP120

Copper Kettle Embossing Powder EP341

Pacific Teal Embellishment Mousse 822N

Versamark Ink VM001

1/2" Tear-ific Tape SAT04

Nuvo Glitter Accents - Silver Jubilee 945N

Nuvo Crystal Drops - Raspberry Pink 657N

Static Free Bag 99512

Honestly...this card came together very easily! I wasn't sure at first how I wanted to use this stamp...but once I started working with it, the creativity flowed!

    

The main elephant image was stamped using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, Versamark Ink and embossed with Copper Kettle Embossing Powder. I fussy cut the image out and went to work on the background. I used the Static Free Bag (which prevents flyaway embossing powder) on the cardstock and then stamped the elephant with Versamark Ink and embossed with Clear Detail Embossing Powder. I used an emboss resist style technique and applied the Pacific Teal Embellishment Mousse. I love how the Clear Detail left a "shadow" type background!  Gorgeous!

    

I applied 1/2" Tear-ific Tape around the outside edge of my card base and applied the Blue Raven Glitter.

Next, I went to work on my flowers! I stamped the elephant image 3 times with a dark blue ink onto a piece of white cardstock. Using a flower punch, I punched out a bunch of flower shapes and shaped them using my Tonic Studios Floral Crafters!

      

Next came assembly!  All layers were attached with Tear-ific Tape :)  Final touches of Glitter Accents in Silver Jubilee and Crystal Drops in Raspberry Pink were added to finish off the card along with some bakers twine.  The sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Marbled Blue embossing powder. I also added a hint of the Lemon Sorbet Embellishment Mousse around the outside edges of the background.

  

I hope you enjoy this card!  Have fun with the new stamp sets!  Don't forget to leave a comment both HERE on my blog AND on the main SNS BLOG to be entered to win! :)

See ya next time! :)
