Touch Of Joy Creative Studio

This card was designed to play along with the , casing a very cool card from the lovely .
The embossing folder, sentiment, DSP and banner die are from the Season of Elegance suite collection from the new September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, that will go live on September 4th.
The other items came mostly from the Season of Green and Gold Suite Collection from our online exclusives.

I was super busy with the Touch of Joy kids summer camps, plus kids going back to school, 😅 so an early Christmas project was a very welcomed change and gave me the opportunity to start using some brand new products from my preorder! 🌲 🤩🌲

I’m thrilled to be the guest designer for this week’s ‘s color challenge! This color combo is so pretty and I immediately thought of the Simply Zinnia bundle to use on my project!
I went with a duo for this challenge: a card and a cute gift card holder to match! I love how the white zinnias popped against the background.
For the card frame and gift card holder base I used the Perennial Postage dies.
Hope you feel inspired by my creation and play along!

Oh my goodness!!! I’m the winner of this week’s Global Design Project Challenge!!! I’m so honored!!!😌💗
There were so many gorgeous cards! I’m absolutely delighted that my card was chosen!!! 😍🥰
Thank you so much ! 💗

Here’s a couple of alternatives I made with the Life is Sweet, June Paper Pumpkin kit. What a gorgeous kit! 😍🍃🍋🍑🍃
Both cards were created almost 100% with contents from the kit. The only extras I used were the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder (for adding texture), some Basic White cardstock, and a rectangle shaped die to cut out a window on the peach card front (the Peach Pie paper came from one of the envelopes that I cut open 😊).
There are still refills available for purchase at our online store! Go and grab some before they are all gone! 💗

Today’s cards were designed to play along with the challenge. The featured stamp set is the super fun Round We Go. And the coordinating dies are super awesome! What a fun bundle to play with! 🤩♥️
The colors I used were Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Pretty Peacock.

Today I’m playing along with the challenge , which is a color challenge.
I really liked these three colors paired together, and I decided that a floral set would look stunning with this combo. So I pulled out the Layers of Beauty bundle to create with. The coordinating masks made it a breeze to color in the images! 🙌🏼
I really like how elegant this card turned out to be!💗🤍🤎

I can’t resist a bundle that has word dies in it, so when I saw the Full of Life suite collection, I immediately knew I wanted it! The die with the word “friend” stopped me in my tracks! Hello! SUPER USEFUL!!!😍💞
And since is featuring the Friends for Life bundle this month, I decided to pull the suite out and create some projects with it. Thanks ladies! Have I mentioned they are awesome? Join their program and you’ll not regret it! 💕
This green and pink ombré is my favorite sheet out of the whole stack of paper (and they are all gorgeous!). Of course I had to do a double feature out of it. I chose a slimline shape to use up the entire sheet! 💗
The starburst shapes came from the Round We Go die set.

Here’s another project I created with the Citrus Blooms Bundle. 🍊🍃
This card was made for a color challenge on a private group, so it uses a completely different color scheme from the Mediterranean Blooms suite of products.
On a color scheme like this, we are dealing with very strong colors, so I like to mix in toned down variations of the colors to make it easier on the eye (our blending brushes are perfect for that! 😉), and also the use of white throughout the layout let the eyes rest a bit as well. 🧡💚💜

This card was designed with two purposes: play along with the challenge of this week, and a sketch challenge (for a private group) as well.
I chose a brand new suite of products, Nests of Winter, for this project. This gorgeous suite is not available yet for purchase to the general public. It’s a sneak peak from the new September–December 2024 Mini Catalog that will go live in September. So stay tuned for this beauty! 🪵🕊️🤎

I just couldn’t put away the Attention Shoppers bundle… Thanks to ! 😉💚💚💚🥕
This time I wanted to make a card and tag set. I still used a similar color scheme from my previous card with this set (shown on first picture), but for this duo I made Summer Splash the star of the show! Tied up in a pretty big bow!
The addition of Gray Granite to the card and tag base were perfect to tone down the brightness of the color scheme. Just to change things up a bit.
I had a lot of fun making these projects, and I was able to use the new in color ribbons (which are dreamy, by the way) to my heart’s content! 🎀

The tag base and attached banner are from a new die set I preordered from the Online Exclusives, called Greetings Of The Season.

Yesterday the ladies at the Stampin' Through the Catalog cased the fabulous Jay Soriano (Mitosu Crafts) and this was my take on his card. 💙💙💙
Like Jay, I used a slimline shape (my fave!) for my case.
I chose to feature the Wildly Flowering Suite of products for my project. Jay had geometric shapes and an embossed textured background. So I took the geometric die shapes from the Wild Flower Designs Die set and used them on the background to give an embossed effect. I also used similar colors and followed the flow of images from his card.
To finish it off I added some Linen Thread and gold Sparkle Gems to bring the warmth from the flowers.
I really loved how this geometric faux embossed background turned out! 🤩

🛍️🛒💗Attention shoppers!!! 💗🛒🛍️

Seriously, that’s the name of the stamp set I pulled out to play with today! 😉
I’ve signed up for the wonderful The Crafty Carrot Co’s program for this month of June, featuring the Attention Shoppers bundle, and these ladies are awesome! 🤩 I got totally inspired to create with it! It’s such a fun set! So I selected a very cheery and fun color scheme to use for this project. The main colors I used were Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash and Daffodil Delight

Today I’m sharing a couple of cards I made using the Country Woods Suite. I chose a different color scheme from the suite to give it a different look. They look like scenes out of a window shop, don’t you think?
The colors I used were Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Expresso, Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.
I really liked how fresh this vibrant color combo turned out! 💗💚

A little bit more of memory keeping ♥️
This scrapbook page was made to celebrate my 16th wedding anniversary a few days ago. It was a gift to my husband and I put it in a shadow box frame.
Our wedding was outdoors and the Country Woods Suite collection was the perfect choice to achieve the look I was going for. ♥️🍃
Tip: I did add a little gold heat embossing to the end of some of the white cluster of leaves to make them a little fancier 😉

When the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog came up, the Mediterranean Blooms Suite was one of my favorite picks! It just screams summer to me!
I had so much fun creating this gate fold birthday card! 💙
Swipe to the side to see the inside of the card. I used the largest shape die from the set to make a pocket for a gift card 🤩 The belly band was also made with this same die.💙🍊💙

Today I chose a scrapbook page to play along with the Stampin' Through the Catalog challenge. The featured stamp set is Magnolia Mood, from our Online Exclusive products. The color scheme of Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist (with a bit of Moss Meadow to add a little punch) was chosen to coordinate with my daughter’s room decor. It will be displayed on a shelf on her bedroom wall. I thought it turned out very sweet! Just like her! 😌💗💚

This card was made using a very fun stamp set from our Online Exclusives called Latte Love 💛☕️🤎
I designed it to play along with the Stampin' Through the Catalog challenge.
A lot of love went on making this card, from the embossed background, where I emphasized the pattern with the Dark Daffodil stampin’ blend, to the deconstruction of the ribbon to make the row of little tassels on the bottom (I know! 🫣).
The Flowers and Foliage dies come from the Textured Florals Bundle, found on the Encore section on our new Annual Catalog. I loved how they worked so well together!
Hope you like it as much as I do!

Another card showcasing the gorgeous Unbounded Beauty suite of products.
I chose one of the DSP’s patterns for the background and then I let it dictate my color scheme of Petunia Pop and Summer Splash.
I love the new in colors! 💗💗💗

Our new Annual Catalog just went live this week and I finally got my feet wet with playing with one of the new mega suites: Unbounded Beauty 😍💗
The DSP features all the new 2024-2026 new in colors and I chose to display 3 of the patterns on this card. I loved how they worked so well together. Definitely brought the spring vibes on!

I have been wanting to use this stamp set for a while now and nothing better than a good challenge to make it happen! 😄
I chose my favorite image from this set 🍊 to design with and I had a lovely time coloring with the watercolor pencils and blender pen. It’s a perfect set to start practicing your coloring skills if you are a newbie since the images are smaller in scale. 😉
it’s a good day to have a good day, and crafting does exactly that for me! 😌
💙🍊🍃💙

Okay… One last card using the Nature’s Sweetness mega suite! I promise! Maybe… 😝
To say I’m in love with this whole collection is an understatement! Thank you Stampin Up!! 💚
The only color added to the suite’s color palette was Old Olive, and it fits in perfectly with the theme.
Hope you like it! 🍃📝🍂

Here’s another card using the Enduring Beauty Bundle. Just couldn’t put it down!!!
For this card I decided to go with a softer palette of color: Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist. 🌸💚🌸

The Enduring Beauty is the first bundle launched by Stampin Up! that has a full set of masks that coordinates beautifully with the stamp image! No coloring skills needed to achieve beautiful results! 🙌🏼
💙💜💚 I loved designing with this bundle! It comes with coordinating dies as well but I couldn’t resist fussy cutting the cluster of flowers apart 🫣
This card was designed to play along with the Global Design Project #434 challenge and with challenge.
The colors used were Orchid Oasis, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Soft Seafoam.

Another card created using the Nature’s Sweetness suite, but outside the suite’s color palette to give it a fresh new look. I used Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Basic White.
Hope you like it! 🍃🤗🍃

For today’s card I used the Cake Fancy stamp set to play along with . The images on this set have a beautiful watercolor look and they are very fun to stamp with!
For the background I used one of the layers of the Petal Patterns die set.
Let’s play along? 😉

Here’s a set of round cards i designed for my presentation with the Nature’s Sweetness suite. 🍂🤍
It was so much fun to play with the various textures and images that this mega suite offers. I’m really pleased with how they turned out. 😌

The card bases were created with the Deckled Circle dies - (And their size is pretty substantial, much bigger in person than you might think! 😉)
The colors I used were picked straight out of the suite’s color palette: Pecan Pie, Pebbled Path, Basic White, and some gold.

Hello Stamping friends! 🍂💙🍂
I’m in love with our mega suite “Nature’s Sweetness”. I just can’t get enough of it! And the coordinating gold foiled paper is absolutely amazing! You really need to see it for yourself! 🤩
On the next few days I’ll be sharing a few projects I created for a presentation I did this past weekend.
The project I’m sharing today is a wallet holding 2 bookmarks/tags. The Pecan Pie cardstock worked perfectly as a faux leather and looked great with the gold faux leather trim from this gorgeous collection.
The suite is available for purchase on our online store. Contact us if you have any questions!
Hope you are inspired by it! 💙
