Joy Clair - Hugs and Smiles

Hi Everyone,

I am on the Joy Clair blog today with a card I made with one of the older Joy Clair sets called Hugs and Smiles:


 I got inspired by Jonsoon Hur from Rejoicing Crafts, who made THIS wonderful card, so I blatantly CASEd it.....This stamp set really lend itself to this technique. I smooshed some distress inks and then stamped with the same colors at the bottom and at the top. I spritzed the stamp with water before I stamped, to give it some softer appearance.

This is that fabulous set:

I added that cute little vase and the heat embossed sentiment  and Bakers twine.



Hope you liked this!

You're right, the stamp set does lend itself to this artsy type of card. Once more, you could do worse than CASEing Yoosun...she's remarkable. But then, so is your card...of course, the color is fabulous but I so love the design elements, too.

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
