Fruity Mood Board

6/13/2022

0 Comments

 
Hello crafty friends!  Today I am on the Joy Clair Designs blog sharing a card that was inspired by this month's mood board.  First, let's take a look at the mood board for the month of June:
Picture
​These images scream summer - sherbet punch, popsicles, lemonade, pink sand beaches and flamingoes!  I love it!  Here is the card that I created that was both inspired by the pink and yellow colors and the tropical summery vibes:
Picture

Card details: 

​The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I cut a 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" piece of black and white gingham paper and adhered this to the bottom of the card.  I stamped the sentiment "hello summer" in Memento Tuxedo black ink at the top center of the card.  This sentiment and all the fruit are from the Life is Sweet stamp set.   On lemon yellow cardstock, peach cardstock, lime cardstock and berry cardstock I stamped the fruit image numerous times in Versamark ink.  I heat embossed the images all in white embossing powder.  I fussy cut each fruit out and then cut some of the fruits in half.  I adhered a base layer of fruit to the card and then added a second layer of fruit that I adhered with 3M foam adhesive to give added dimension.  Lastly, I added a couple of randomly placed clear rhinestones for added sparkle.

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:
Picture

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.

Whimsy Stamps Special Guest

9/22/2021

1 Comment

 
Picture
Hello friends!  Today I am excited to be a special guest on the Whimsy Stamps blog and I'm thrilled that the ladies behind Whimsy Stamps invited me back to be a guest for all things Halloween, because it my my favorite time of the year to make cards!  Whimsy Stamps has some of the best Halloween themed products around from zombies and aliens to gravestones and haunted houses.   Today I am sharing a card made using the oh-so-spooky-cute stamp set, Candy Corn Dress Up. 
Picture
​I just love these cute little candy corns and I wanted to color them in non-traditional colors, hence the addition of pink.  But wait, there's more - it's a shaker card too!  Because cards are just infinitely more fun when they move and shake!  

Card details: 
The base of this A2 sized card was made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Wonky Window 4 die, I die cut the frame from the same white cardstock. 
Picture
​I lined the back of frame with a piece of acetate:
Picture
​I then made sure to line over the the acetate with foam adhesive, end-to-end so that no sequins could fall out:
Picture
​On a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Bristol White Smooth cardstock, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry:
Picture
​I placed color sequins in the coordinating color section of the background (so that they would remain separated when I added my shaker frame).   I stamped the Candy Corn Dress Up images in Memento Tuxedo black ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored the images using Copic markers.  I used my Brother Scan and Cut 2 e-cutting machine to cut the images, in lieu of fussy cutting.  

Using a piece of black glitter cardstock, I cut the haunted house using the Slimline Hill House die.  I only wanted the haunted house portion, so I cut it down to size.  I adhered the haunted house to the card using a Tombow adhesive runner. 
Picture
​I adhered the candy corn characters to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "Hauntingly Sweet" in Versamark ink on black cardstock.  This sentiment is also included the Candy Corn Dress Up stamp set.  I heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder and adhered it to the top left side of the card using 3M foam adhesive. 
Picture
​I hope you have enjoyed this fun Halloween inspired shaker card.   Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

XO, Crystal

Hey Pumpkin

9/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Happy Monday and welcome back from the weekend!  We spent a long weekend in Maine visiting my parents and it was our first real glimpse of fall with some cooler evening/morning temperatures and apple cider waffles with my family's own maple syrup!  I just can't get enough of all things fall.  Today I'm sharing two cards on the Joy Clair Designs blog featuring the Hey Pumpkin stamp set.  
Picture
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made with 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Diagonal Stripes Window die from Pinkfresh Studio, I diecut the frame from white cardstock.  Behind the frame I placed a piece of Light Brown Woodgrain paper from Lawn Fawn.  I stamped the pumpkins from the Hey Pumpkin stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the image out and adhered it to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment "thanks" in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy cut the sentiment out.  I placed the cut sentiment over a piece of orange cardstock and created my own shadow die by fussy cutting the second layer.  I adhered the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.
Picture

​Here is the second card I created also using the Hey Pumpkin stamp set:
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I cut a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of pumpkin orange cardstock as the first mat for this card.  I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of Light Brown Lawn Fawn Woodgrain cardstock to adhere to the orange mat.  I die cut the picture frame from white cardstock.  I stamped the pumpkins from the Hey Pumpkin stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I colored the pumpkins with Copic markers and fussy cut the image out.  I adhered the pumpkins to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Using a leaf punch, I punched a couple gold glitter leaves out and tucked them behind the pumpkins to add some glitter and dimension.  I stamped the sentiment "hey pumpkin" in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock.  I cut the sentiment out and adhered it to the bottom of the picture frame using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the pumpkins for more sparkle.

Life is Sweet

8/11/2021

0 Comments

 
Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I am on the Joy Clair Designs blog sharing this sweet and summery card filled with fresh fruit from the Life is Sweet stamp set.  Last week I admitted that I haven't been good recently at timing the theme of my cards around the holidays, so I think this fruity card is another one that's perfect for summer since we still have the month of August before us.
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Altenew Watercolor Stripes Cover Die, I die cut the frame also from white cardstock.  I stamped multiple images from the Joy Clair Designs Life is Sweet stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers (mostly using reds, greens and yellows) and then used a Brother Scan and 2 e-cutting machine to cut the images out, in lieu of fussy cutting.  I adhered the images down the left side of the card in a pattern I found pleasing to my eye.  I stamped the sentiment "life is sweet" in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardsotck and die cut it using a 2" circle die.  I adhered the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Did you know that Joy Clair Designs is another woman-owned small business?  There are so many small, but fabulous companies being run by boss women, such as Martha (Joy Clair's owner and beautiful designer).  Martha also works full-time outside of this business and that is a strong testament to her commitment, hard work and dedication.  I'm happy and honored to represent and design for companies like Joy Clair Designs.

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Picture
I have a really fun martini theme Halloween take on this week's challenge colors for you:
Picture

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 Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I used an orange spiderweb piece of paper for the first mat and it measures 8 1/4" x 3 1/4."  Using the Slimline Frames die, I die cut the frame from black cardstock. On the left and right side of the frame are two alcohol ink background pieces made using Tim Holtz Ranger Alcohol Inks in the shades Lemonade and Valencia.  I inked these two colors onto Yupo paper and let them dry before adhering them behind the frame. 
Picture
I stamped the images from the Cocktail Mixer stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on Neenah white cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers (in the challenge colors) and die cut the drinks using the coordinating Cocktail Mixer dies.  I also stamped the bat image from the new Batty Newton stamp set in the same Memento black ink on white paper.  I colored the bat with Copic markers and die cut the image using the coordinating Batty Newton dies. I adhered all of the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  In the upper left corner of one of the alcohol ink backgrounds, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Whimsy Stamps - 31 Nights of Halloween

10/2/2020

Today I am on the Whimsy Stamps blog for day/night 2 of their annual "31 Nights of Halloween" celebration.  This annual event features gory (but good) giveaways, BOO-tiful projects and frightful fun for everyone!  Please refer to this post to see how you can enter to win some of these spooktacular prizes.  We also hope that YOU will share your Halloween themed creations with us!

I have designed a slimline card today featuring one of my favorite Whimsy Stamps Halloween sets called Candy Corn Dress Up.  I LOVE this brilliantly designed set featuring candy corns disguised as trick-or-treaters.  *Confession - as I was setting up the photo layout for this image, I may have eaten approximately 108 pieces of my candy corn photo props! : )
Picture
Picture

Card details: 

​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.  For the base of the card I used 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Slimline Hill House die, I cut the frame from black cardstock. I created the background using Ranger Alcohol Inks in Lemonade and Sunset on Yupo paper.  Using the Pierced and Stitched Circle Dies I die cut a large circle from Yupo paper and inked on more orange than yellow alcohol ink.  I then placed the moon behind the haunted house.  I splattered both backgrounds with white acrylic paint for added visual interest.
Picture
I fussy cut the alcohol ink background to fit inside the Hill  House slimline frame.  I also fussy cut a piece of gray cardstock to fit behind the road (in the lower half of the scene) and then adhered both layers to the white card base using a Tombow Permanent Dot Runner. I die cut the two bats from black cardstock using the Build A Graveyard Die set.  I stamped the candy corn images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the Neenah white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers.  I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I added some extra highlights to the coloring by using a Uniball white gel pen.  I also ALWAYS add a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to my projects for lots of extra sparkle!  Sparkle, is like butter (or bacon), it makes everything better!  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on a thin strip of pumpkin orange cardstock, notched the right edge and adhered it to the bottom of the card with 3M foam adhesive.  
Picture
Picture
I hope you have enjoyed this spooky-cute slimline card.  Be sure to follow along for the rest of the month to see NEW Halloween themed projects every day by Whimsy Stamps' talented Creative Team. 
 
Thanks for visiting and happy creating!

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  Today we have a new challenge to share with you at Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge. Challenge #129 is a slimline sketch challenge.  Using the sketch shown in the image below, share with us YOUR creations!

Here is the slimline card I created inspired by this sketch:

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 do not require additional postage.  The base of this slimline card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using the Slimline Frames die, I cut the base from Crumb Cake cardstock.  I lined the scalloped frame with an 8" x 2 3/4" piece of white cardstock.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I randomly stamped ants from the Woodland Picnic stamp on the white cardstock.  I die cut three circles from red gingham paper and centered these on the card.  Using the same Woodland Picnic stamp set, I stamped the animal images in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I colored them using Copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating Woodland Picnic dies.  I then adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on a thin strip of white cardstock and notched both ends before adhering over the center gingham circle.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to many of the images for added sparkle.

    Disclosure:

    • I participate in several affiliate programs.  This means I earn a small commission when products are purchased using my links (at no additional cost to you). 
    • I do not work for any companies. 
    • I buy all of my own supplies, unless where mentioned in a post that a product has been gifted, or if I am supplied products in exchange for being on a company's Design Team.
    • I do not do sponsored posts (where a company pays me to talk about a product).
    • I do not place ads on my blog.  Ever. I hate them and I know you do too!

    ​Whether gifted, or from my own supply, all of my recommendations are based on items that I use and truly love, and I think you will too.
