Joy Clair and Quick Quotes Promotion!

Friday greetings to you! Today is day five of the Quick Quotes promotion and giveaway with Joy Clair this week. I am up on the blog along with June Swart featuring the lovely Joy Clair stamps and of course Quick Quotes products.

Today I have a Traveler's Journal that I created using the new and gorgeous papers called Serenade, PowderPuff Chalk Inks, Joy Clair stamps and of course some mixed media and a few extra goodies.

For the cover, I am featuring the Uh Oh Ink Splatters stamps by Joy Clair, you can see the larger splatter on the lower left corner using Midnight Confessions PowderPuff Chalk Ink and the petite splatter dots in the upper left.

 

This set of stamps is so versatile, I just love the extra interest they add here!

 

 

For the binding, I adhered some paper doily that I inked with Sky Blue, then Mod Podged to the binding to soften the look of my Journal. I was inspired by Susie Bentz's idea to use a flair to accent the spine so I found some coordinating ribbon and added a little bow.

 

To create the lines on my signature page inserts, I used my Canon Pixma iP8720 and Microsoft Word.

• Create a new word document
• Adjusted margins to 8.25 wide x 8.50 high
• Created two columns and tabbed down to type several lines using double spacing in the paragraph. 
• Copy and paste the lines in the next column so they are even.
• Changed color of underline to a coordinating ink color for my paper. Here I used a blue.
• Print and repeat for any additional signature pages you wish to have some journaling lines on.

Create word document and sized to 8.25 wide x 8.50 high.

Verify your margins and adjust as needed. I made mine .75

Orientation is Portrait. 

Inserted two columns, format spacing to double space.

Type in your lines as desired.  

When completed, print your document.

 

For this printer, place paper right side up, adjust the paper guides to fit your custom paper size.

Final result. I like to mark my measurements lightly on the page and erase when done so I don't get confused with orientation. Once I had my signature pages with lines created, I added additional stamping and interest using my PowderPuff Chalk Inks and my Joy Clair stamps.

Summer Fun

Happy Tuesday to you! I have a project to share with you featuring pieces from the June Club Q kits by Quick Quotes and using my fabulous Canon Pixma IP8720 Printer.

I recently had the opportunity to go to a crop and grabbed the June Club Q kits that I had and my 2017 PowderPuff Chalk Inks along with my photo collage that I printed out in advance.

I cut apart a few of the die cut elements and layered them in a grid pattern as a focal point for my collage photo. I liked the way the layered frames mimic the pattern and design of the collage. Using the die cut pieces from the kit made assembly of this page super quick and easy!

For the die cut title in the kit, I applied some Bora Bora PowderPuff Chalk Ink to tint it a bit darker. Once it dried, I added some Wink of Stella to just the bottom part of the title to give it a reflective appearance. 

I created my photo collage using my Canon Pixma IP8720 printer and their My Image Garden software. It was super easy to do and I really like being able to use multiple photos in a single print. I used the Travel and Leisure 3 template from the software.

Quick Quotes and Clear Scraps Cross Promo

Saturday greetings to you, it's Rhonda here to share a project with you as part of our week long cross promotion with Clear Scraps.

I've used one of our newest collections, Adventure Awaits which was perfect for our recent vacation photos from the beach in Florida.

 

I decided to use the 7x7 section from the Banners Acrylic 12x12 Page along with a photo that I printed out as an 8x10 and then cropped to fit. I used PowderPuff Chalk Inks on the back side to color coordinate with the photo. The bottom portion I used Latte and the upper portion I used a combination of Royal Blue and Caribbean Blue.

 

 

Next, I cut the other section of banners and layered it across the corner after applying some of the blues again on the back.

 

 

The page came together so nicely and I love that the focal point is the beach photo.

 

I used my Canon Pixma IP8720 to print out my 8x10 photo, then I trimmed to fit. You can easily customize the way you print the photo to ensure it will fit.

 

Be sure to stop on over to the Clear Scraps Blog for even more inspiration! Make sure to say hello from Rhonda!
