Hello and welcome! I'm here today, day 4, with a look at a brand new stamp set from Joy Clair called "Going Places" - it's so fun! It's from the new Joy Clair release this month! Check out the Joy Clair blog for more details!

Here's a look at the stamp sets I used:
I made several cards today with these sets.
Here's how I made them:
1) The sign was stamped and colored with Zigs.
2) For the first card, I wanted more than just 2 balloons so I masked off the first stamp to add 2 more. 3) Then I stamped the sentiment inside of them and colored them with Zig Clean Color Markers. (The mask below is cut from Post it Note paper.)
Here's the extra balloons I stamped after masking:

I started to use a bike stamp from the new Joy Clair set, "Spring Stroll", but ended up using it on a later card. You can see below where I thought I'd use the bike, but then changed my mind and used the cacti instead!
4) Next I sponged the clouds and grass in with Distress Inks.
5) I took a piece of kraft card stock and cut two side panels for my first card with the MFT stepped up chevron die for the left and right side of my card.
6) Here's my first finished card, where instead of using the bike, I decided to use cacti from the new Joy Clair "Blossom" stamp set so I stamped, colored them with colored pencils.

Here's a closer view of that card:
For my 2nd card, I made a more clean and simple (CAS) design with lots of white space.
1) The images were stamped, colored and then cut out before adhering them to the white card front.
Here's another look at card #2:
And for my 3rd and final card,
1) I used some brick background paper, an MFT edge die and some black card stock for the border to help my white panel pop more.
2) The sign is stamped directly on the white card stock and is from the new Joy Clair "Going Places" stamp set.
3) The bike and the "Congratulations" sentiment are both from the new Joy Clair "Spring Stroll" stamp set. The bike was stamped on separate card stock, colored and cut out before adhering it.
Here's my final card for today:
I hope you enjoyed seeing these new stamp sets in action!
