Challenge: Letters
Donut Worry, Be Happy Joy Clair Card
Welcome to the Joy Clair World Card Making Day Challenge! Hopefully you’ve been following along all day and have been participating in all the fun. You’ll have plenty of chances to win some great prizes, so make sure you head over to the Joy Clair blog to find out all the details. Incase you missed it, hop on over to my Craftroom Tour {HERE}. I try to make the most of the space I have in order to create all my projects to share with you.
Right now, it’s my turn to challenge you! Lets see what you can create with just letters. You can use die cuts, letter stamps, and sentiments. I’m using two stamp sets from Joy Clair, Dancing Donut Background(which I’ll be using to create my own patterned paper) and Sprinkled with Love. This challenge will show you that you can create a cute card without all the stamped images.
DIRECTIONS:
Start by using the Dancing Donut Background on a piece of what cardstock. Color in the donuts using markers or colored pencils, in your choice of colors. I wanted to keep this card night and bright, so I chose a pink and purple color scheme.
Next, I used my rectangular stitch die for the boarder, to add a nice finished look, and then used my letter die cuts to cut out the word “Donut”. Choose a coordinating solid color paper and cut out two more sets of the word “Donut.”
Glue or tape the three sets of letters together to build dimension. I used the original donut paper letters as the bottom layer and added the two solid colors on top.
Time for embossing. I used the “Worry, Be Happy” sentiment that came in the Joy Clair Sprinkled with Love stamp set and embossed it on black cardstock.
Lastly, adhere the donut background to a coordinating solid color cardstock, glue down the letters, and then use foam tap to add the sentiment.
Even though we used the Dancing Donut Background stamp, it’s used more as a creative way to make your own pattern paper. But, by using only sentiment stamps and letter die cuts, you can still create such a fun card for any occasion.
Now it’s your turn! Lets see what you can create by only using letters (stamps/die cuts/sentiments). Make sure you link your designs in the original Joy Clair post for this challenge, for your chance to win some great prizes!
We want everyone to be able to play so there is *no* requirement to use Joy Clair Stamps although we would be thrilled if you did. Please make a new card though!
We will have all challenges open until next Sunday, October 14th, 2018 at 11:55 p.m. EST to let you create a little more, because celebrations should never be limited to a single day, right?
If you are unable to participate in the challenges, simply comment on the posts. We will be giving one prize to a randomly drawn commenter compiled from all WCMD 2018 posts.
Add your link to the appropriate Inlinkz Link-up tool for that post. You may enter as many times as you wish while the challenges are open. There will a prize posted on each challenge and one card will be randomly chosen as a winner of that prize from those that Link-up.
Have tons of fun!
