MISTI & Joy Clair Blog Hop

I'm thrilled to be Guest Designing with the Design Team from My Sweet Petunia for a Blog Hop & Giveaway with Joy Clair Stamps.  This was a new-to-me stamp company, so I was thrilled to get to try three new stamp sets for my designs.

 

I started with the brand new Hello Sentiments Stamp Set ... I knew the big bold sentiments would be fun for shadow stamping.

 

 

I used the happy spring colors of orange & golden yellow for my design ... and then found some coordinating flowers in my stash to accent my text.

 

 

I love that I get things right on the first try with my MISTI instead of stamping several different pieces until I finally obtain full coverage.

The next set from Joy Clair is called Dad's Day.  I always love having more masculine stamps in my stash.  I couldn't wait to create the perfect father's day card for one of the men in my family.  

 

 

The stamp sets included coordinating cut files, but since I didn't have a cutting machine, I had a friend cut them for me.  I was able to use temporary adhesive to adhere my die cut to a piece of scrap cardstock and then perfectly stamp my ribbon in Bronze Metallic ink ... love that.

 

 

And yes, that is denim material on my card.  I used fabric stiffener and then was able to cut and adhere it to my card front with strong double-sided tape.  I used a bronze metallic sharpie to color my ribbon and added a bit of grey Spectrum Noir to the fart cloud.

 

 

For my final card, I did fun single-layer-all-over-stamping design using Joy Clair Snow Fall (isn't that a magnificent collection of snowflakes) ... it's so fun to create my own designer paper.  I started with a piece of DCWV ombre paper and then used lots of purple inks from my collection to create my snowy storm.

 

 

I accented the flake centers with three shades of purple glitter epoxy dots.

 

 

There are prizes with this hop ... for a chance to win, you must leave a comment on every blog post to win the Joy Clair or MISTI giveaways.  MISTI Winners will be announced on this page of the My Sweet Petunia blog on April 14th.

Love the snowflakes card. The Happy card looks happy. Thanks for sharing.

Your cards are awesome. I love them. Did you use a piece of leather for the Farther's day card. I love the purple of the snowflakes. And I am not usually a purple person. Good job.

[Mary Holshouser]

I would love to have a misty. Cute card

[April Rogers]

Oh my goodness, your fathers card almost made me cry. If my dad was still alive I would get that just for him. I wouldn't care if I used it again (which I know I would) but it would have been perfect for a card for him.
The bright and cheerful card is very sweet too. And the snowflakes are so pretty too. I don't mind them on paper. Just real life I don't care for them ;-)
XO April

Wonderful cards, love how each one is so unique. Thanks for sharing your steps with the Misti. I don't have one yet and would love to win one.

[Sue LD]

I like the cheery colors and shadow stamping on the first, the fun sentiment on the second and the sparkle on the third.

[Lorraine]

Love, love, love the denim. I'd have a hard time picking a favorite though - they're all beauties!

[Liz]

Cool! Love that denim

[Laura]

Oh I love the snowflake card. I love snowflakes, on paper. Not the ones falling from the sky.

[Gilda (McStamper)]
