Joy Clair Designs December Mood Board

12/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Hello crafty readers and happy 1st of December!  The Design Team at Joy Clair Designs is excited to share the mood board for this month.  Mood boards (also commonly called "inspiration" boards) are a combination of colors, images, textures and patterns that can offer guidance or direction.  If you feel like you don't know where to begin a project, try looking at a mood board and let the creative juices flow.  You might just be surprised by the end result!
​
​
Let's take a look at the December 2021 Joy Clair Designs mood board:
Picture
​This month's mood board was inspired by the magic, warmth and wonder of the holiday season with pops of colors in turquoise, purple, magenta and white.  It's cheerful, whimsical and magical!  Maybe this will inspire you to create for Christmas, Hannukah, winter or simply let these colors inspire you to create for any occasion.

Here is a card that I created inspired by this month's mood board:

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 size card was made using 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  The first base was created using a Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Rectangle die and cut from white cardstock.  In the bottom lower right corner of the card, I stamped the sentiment "warmest wishes" in blue ink.  l created a background from Faded Denim and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks. Next, I printed the images from the Christmas Cocoa digital stamp set and colored in the two mugs using Copic markers.  I added the mugs to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I also added the white foam cream and marshmallows to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to all the images for added sparkle.

Bloom Book With Love

4/19/2021

0 Comments

 
Hello and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you all found a little time to do something crafty. 
Last week I shared some cards that were made using pre-created Distress Oxide ink backgrounds after I had taken an online class with Jenn Shurkus.  Today's card uses another of those backgrounds, which made this card come together really quick and easy!  
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  On a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of the same white cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar using the Tim Holtz Mini Round Ink Blender.   Over that background I laid the Music Stencil from Newton's Nook and sponged more Picked Raspberry ink through the stencil. I removed the stencil and spritzed the paper with a little bit of water.  I set this background aside to dry.  Using the digital Bloom Book stamp from 88 and Clear I printed the stamp out on Neenah white cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and then I fussy cut the flowers out.  I adhered the flowers to the card with 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on a thin strip of black cardstock and then heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.  I notched the left side of the sentiment and adhered it to the top right of the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Hello and happy Friday!  Friday's always make me smile.  I hope today's card will make you smile too with it's fun sherbet-like colors and cheerful spring peonies!  
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  On a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Distress Heavystock paper, I watercolored the background using a small paintbrush and Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade . I set this piece aside to dry.  Using the digital Rich Peonies stamp set from 88 and Clear, I printed these digital stamps out on Neenah white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers.  I used my Brother Scan and Cut 2 e-cutting machine to cut the images out in lieu of fussy cutting.  I adhered the flowers to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I added a little bit of linen thread in the middle of the flowers and placed the sentiment stamped in pink ink on white cardstock over the thread.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers for added sparkle.

Just Because

Hello friends and happy Friday!  On Wednesday, I mentioned that my mother and I had recently spent a weekend creating and playing with Distress Oxide inks to create backgrounds for future cards.  Today's card utilizes another one of those backgrounds and I love, love, love all the blues on this card!  Not only is blue my favorite color, but hydrangeas are my favorite flower, so this card makes me so happy.
Picture

Card details: 

*A full supply list is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  On a 5 1/4 x 4" piece of Bristol smooth cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Blueprint Sketch, Faded Jeans and Stormy Sky.  Once the ink dried, I layed the Newton's Nook Designs Music stencil over the ink and added Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer paste to the stencil with a spatula.  I peeled off the stencil to reveal the beautiful glittery music note backgound.  I let the background dry.
Picture
I die cut a white octagon and placed it on the center left of the card.  The hydrangea flower is actually a digital stamp from Twinklelane Designs.  I printed the flower out on Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock and colored it using Copic markers.  I fussy cut the flower out and adhered it to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in blue ink on white cardstock and punched it out with an oval punch.  I adhered the sentiment to the left of the flower using 3M foam adhesive.

I hope you have enjoyed today's card as much as I do!  Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend!

On a recent weekend visiting with my mom, we spent an entire day playing with Distress Oxide inks.  We had taken an online class with Jenn Shurkus and wanted to simply play and create backgrounds only without the added pressure of making fully completed cards.  The end result?  We had about 20 backgrounds each to tuck away for future cards.  Today's card uses one of those previuosly created backgrounds, so it made this card real quick and easy to complete.

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  Using a piece of Bristol Smooth paper, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Twisted Citron and Shabby Shutters all over the 5 1/4" x 4" piece of watercolor paper.  I spritzed the paper with water to add little droplets.  Then I used a stencil (sorry, I cannot recall the name or even brand of the stencil) and placed it over the background and spread Nuvo Moonstone Glitter paste to achieve that sparkly textured background. I printed out the Special and Kind digital stamp set from 88 and Clear on Neenah White cardstock and colored the images with Copic markers.  I used a Scan and Cut 2 electronic cutting machine to cut the images, in lieu of fussy cutting.  I adhered the images to the center of the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I added the sentiment in the lower right corner.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the sunflower images for added sparkle.

Kinsley Heart Plate by Birch Press Design

1/11/2021

1 Comment

 
Hello crafty friends and welcome back from the weekend!  Today I am on the Birch Press Design blog sharing a beautiful Valentine's Day card featuring the latest new release products.  The focal point of this pink ombre card is the ink blended background peeking through the new Kinsley Heart Layering Plate. ​
Picture
Picture

Card details: 

On a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Bristol smooth cardstock I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in the colors Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Candied Apple. I began with the lightest color (Spun Sugar) at the top of the cardstock and the richest color (Candied Apple) at the bottom. ​
Picture
Using 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Crest cardstock, I die cut the top layer (Layer A) from the Kinsley Heart Plate. ​
Picture
I placed this intricate heart layer directly over the ombre background adhering it with LineCo ph neutral bookbinding glue (my go-to liquid adhesive). ​
Picture
Picture
Using the Lingo Thanks stamp set, I stamped the word "love" in Versamark ink on ballet pink cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I used the coordinating Lingo Thanks die set to cut it out.  I also stamped the sentiment "you're in my heart" in Versamark ink on fuschia pink cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder as well. I die cut one large white heart to serve as the center focal point of the card. I adhered the sentiments to the lower right corner of the heart using 3M foam adhesive. Lastly, I adhered a few iridescent sequins with glue dots to the card for added dimension and sparkle. ​
Picture
Picture

I really like how this card came out and I think I'll recreate it in a few additional colors and send them out as MY Valentine's Day cards this year!

Music Speaks

At the end of 2020, I started a small movement (for lack of better words) on social media proclaiming that the month of January 2021 would be "MANuary" and that I was determined to make and share more masculine themed cards using the hashtag" #manuarycards."  Today I will begin sharing the first of many cards this month designed for the men in our lives from fathers, brothers, husbands and sons, to grandfathers, friends and more!  Today's cards feature the Music Speaks stamp set and coordinating dies from HoneyBee Stamps and would work well for teenagers and adult men who still yearn to be
​ rockstars too!
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  On a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of white cardstock, I stenciled the background using the Tiger Stripes Stencil from Whimsy Stamps in Squeezed Lemonade, Pumpkin Pie and Barn Door Distress Oxide inks.  On a 4" x 3" piece of white cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink with the word "friendship" in red ink.  I stamped a few music notes in red ink randomly below the sentiment.  I matted a 4 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of black cardstock directly to this white cardstock before adhering both the background.  I die cut a large star from black cardstock and adhered it to the lower right side of the card.  I stamped the drum, sax and trumpet images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored in the images using Copic markers.  I adhered the instruments to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Inky Paws Challenge #134

10/19/2020

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty. Today I am sharing another card that I made for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge.  Week number two of Challenge #134 is continuing on with this color challenge designed to inspire you.  Our challenges run for two weeks, thereby giving you more time to create, so I have designed a second card to share with you this week that was still inspired by the same image seen below:
Picture
Here is the card I designed inspired by this week's challenge colors:

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  The base of this card is made from 80 lb. Neenah White Solar Smooth cardstock.  On a 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in the colors Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry.  I then ink splattered Picked Raspberry and Black Soot distress oxide inks over the entire background.  Using the Slimline Frames dies, I die cut the frame from black cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card.  I die cut the large "BOO" letters from black cardstock and orange cardstock. I layered the orange letter underneath the black letter offset just a bit.  I adhered each letter to the center of each square frame.  
Picture
Picture
I stamped the images from the Bootiful Night stamp set in Memento Black ink and colored the images with Copic markers (in the challenge colors).  I die cut the images using the coordinating Bootiful Night dies and adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, using the Feline Batty die set, I die cut four bats out of black cardstock and adhered them randomly on the card.

Autumn Blessings

10/8/2020

It's the time of year when I begin bouncing around a bit with my card themes.  Last week I shared some Halloween cards, yesterday was a winter themed card and today it's all about fall.  So basically, ya never know what you're gonna get!  Personally, I like it that way.  If every day was the same, it would be a pretty boring world we live in.  Variety IS the spice of life (or so they say). . .

Today's slimline card features a Distress Oxide ink background in an ombre pattern with leaves from the new Leaf Layers stamp set by Whimsy Stamps.  To see another way I used this same stamp set, please click here.

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  To create the background, I cut a 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock.  This is the cardstock I use to do all of my ink-blending on.  I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Barn Door.  I then ink splattered the Barn Door ink over the entire card.  Once this background was dry, I adhered it to the card base using a Tombow dot runner.  I die cut the frame from white cardstock and also splattered it with Barn Door Distress Oxide ink.  I adhered the postage frame to the center of the card.  I stamped the leaves in yellow, orange and red ink and fussy cut EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!  Yikes, there was no corresponding die set for this stamp!  I adhered the leaves to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink on black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I notched the left side of the sentiment and adhered it to the top 1/3 of the card.

I am really enjoying creating backgrounds using Distress Oxide inks.  They really make quite a statement.  Initially, I was hesitant to use these inks because I thought they were too "messy."  But now I think the mess is totally worth it!
