October blog hop

 

Welcome to our monthly Joyful Stars blog hop.  Every month we share with you what we have been working on.  So at the end of each blog, look for the highlighted name and click on it to hop to the next blog.  You will get back to this blog and we hope we have inspired you to create your own projects.  

This month I want to show you some of the cards I made using our NEW Distress Oxide inks.  The possibilities are endless.  There are many techniques and I hope to show them on my future videos on my FB page.  

The two cards on the left are using the October stamp of the month. 

Distress Oxide ink make the backgrounds very bright.  Top right cards is a shaker card, yes we now have heart shape shaker die cuts and foam, also star shapes.  

This card is not one of the four cards, I black embossed the Oct SOM heart and filled it in with Distress Oxide inks, the background was embossed in white and sponged with peacock feathers.  

                                

Hope you enjoyed these cards, have blessed month.  

 Now it's time to go to my friend Betty's blog, scrapbookgirl2.blogspot.com can't wait to see what she is working on.

September Joyful Stars Blog hop

Welcome to the monthly Joyful Stars blog hop.  This is a blog hop where you can go from one site to another.  You will get to see some NEW products from our seasonal Sept/Oct catalog and from the Annual Core catalog.  You can get both from FREE just by placing an order with your consultant.  So look for the highlighted name at the bottom of the post and click on it.



This month was hard to choose because we have soooooo many new products to play with.  I would like to show you a stamp set called Floral Detail and Background.  This looks good embossed in silver or gold to make an anniversary card.  It also has 4 M size stamps that compliment this stamp.
They fit in the circle where I have the numbers.  Stamping this in black and coloring in the flowers looks really good, also. (See last photo)  I like the 5 stamps that come with this set to use as accents.

Floral Detail and Background

C1868 page 31 Core catalog

These cards were made using Party time paper and Wishing you Everything stamp set.  The best thing about this paper collection is you can make your card in pink or blue, just by flipping the paper.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2020 Joyful Stars Blog Hop!

We hope this new year will bring your many blessings and creative moments.  This hop is circular, so look for the highlighed name at the bottom of each post and hop to the next person until you get back here.  


What I would like to share this month is the birthday card I made for my wonderful Mother who is going to be 96 on Friday.  I have been so blessed to have such a great MOM.

I used new products from the Jan/Feb CTMH catalog.  Bird stamp set from Spruced Up, card making Z3633 (with thin cuts), new shimmer brushes, raspberry and lagoon.  I also used the Feb stamp of the month, the flower bouquet was just perfect. All the flowers were colored with shimmer brushes. This is a 5x7 card.

This card features our NEW thin cut scallop circle Z3639 and once again the Spruced up cardmaking set Z3633

 I used fern cardstock and the triangle was a 3" square cut in half.  The pine cones were stamped on toffee cs and stamped with espresso, they look so much better in person.

Now it's time to hop to my friend, Betty's blog and see what she has created.

July blog hop

Greetings from Provo Utah!

We are getting ready for CTMH Convention.

Welcome to our monthly blog hop,  Can you believe it's July already?  We would like to inspire you to make some fun things. I have been busy making cake decorations, baby cards, graduation cards and some new thin cuts cards that have so many possibilities.

Today I want to share with you several things.  

New Thin Cuts

called Share the Joy 

These cards were made by other consultants. 

Here are three cards that I made using this set, and I have about 15 more ready to put together.

Fun in the sun  Z4070

I had to share this fun thin cut set, This is a slider card that lays flat to mail.  It's like a pop up box card only bigger.  Watch for a video to make these cards. I will post this on the facebook  VIP group.

The kids were colored with shinhan markers.

Now it's time to hop over to Betty's blog and see what's she has created.
