Get Well Guy Card for a Proper Gentleman!

I needed a Get Well guy card a while ago and this is what I came up with!  LOVE this Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Set by Amy Tedder.  I utilized JustRite Custom Spellbinders Vintage Labels Dies, LOVE coordinating dies too!

Look at the wonderful images in JustRite's Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five! I stamped the hat trio image twice with Memento Potter's Clay ink, once on cream card stock and again on the gray blue card stock before die cutting . The hats are shaded using Copic Markers.  The Get Well sentiment is found in JustRite's Large Elegant Sentiments and also cut using a die in JustRite's Custom Spellbinders Vintage Labels Five Set.  Simple mini cording to hang the tag completes the card!  I also used this great set on this Hershey Bar Creation HERE.

Consider Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five for all the guy stamping needs in your life!  It's a perfect set to use all year long!  Thanks so much for stopping by!

JustRite Papercraft Day Four Coffee & Friends Background Cling Stamp

Good Thursday Morning to you!  Here we are, JustRite Papercraft's November Release, Day Four!  Today we are previewing a new background stamp, Coffee & Friends!

Every holiday I visit a local nut and coffee house store, well, truth be known, I visit there all year long!  They package their fabulous coffees in one pot measurements, and during the holiday season, my favorite is called Holiday Cheer.  It's a given if you are gifted a plate of holiday goodies from our family, it will have a package of this particular coffee attached somehow!  I have always wanted to come up with a better presentation when gifting!  And now I have one using this awesome Coffee & Friends Background Stamp!  Let's get started!

Coffee & Friends is a background cling stamp made of deeply etched red rubber and clings to any acrylic block. Coffee & Friends is designed by Amy Tedder. I stamped it twice, once with Memento Rich Cocoa ink on cream card stock and once with Memento Potter's Clay ink.

The cocoa brown stamped image is cut using a Spellbinders Grand Large Label Die and is scored at the side ticket corner point. (shown in above photo) The day I worked on this project I happened to run a couple errands and grabbed a coffee!  As it was sitting on my desk upon returning home, I thought why not take that sleeve and add it to the mix!  I will be doing this again!  LOVE it! I then trimmed out the Potter's Clay Rooster to use atop the recycled coffee sleeve!  He also received some shadowing with a sponge dauber and old paper ink. The comb atop the rooster's head also was colored with my Tim Holtz Festive Berries marker.

A line of ScorTape is placed behind the scored edge to hold the bottom of the coffee package.  ScorTape is also applied to secure the coffee sleeve.  Embellishing details include, a bow tied with gold metallic string and a die cut tag to write recipient's name on!  That Coffee Bean printed ribbon is perfect, no?

JustRite Papercraft Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Clear Stamps, Day TWO

WELCOME to Day TWO of JustRite Papercraft's November Release! I am over the moon with today's project, I hope you like it! I saw this idea last year and LOVED it!  However I didn't get a chance to create it, until this week!  HERE is the original idea with a tutorial.  It was much easier than I anticipated!  I tweaked it to my needs by adding the stamped images, which creates more of that personal touch that I love!   

Here is a side by side pic, to give an idea of the size of finished suit coat covered candy bar when using a King Size bar. I purchased mine at Target.  You can use any size candy bar using the simple measuring instructions from the tutorial.   

Here is today's release set, Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five.  Is this set perfect for the men in our lives or what?  Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five contains 16 clear stamps and is designed by Amy Tedder. 

Graphic45 Designer Paper works perfectly for this type of jacket, as it has a design on both sides of the pages.  Thus the cool striped lapels!  I had a scrap of a swiss dot dry embossed paper for the shirt!  The stamped hand trimmed bow tie is perfect, no?  The Dad tag and Happy Father's Day tag adds the finishing touch! The grey was added with a sponge dauber before the die was removed.

You will delighted with all the wonderful creations by our talented JR Designers! Enjoy!

Noel Christmas in July!

Welcome! Today I have a trio of package tags all packaged for gift giving!  You will find the Noel Christmas Ornament Stamp Set and dies I used for this creation at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store along with many other products utilized!  

It's Christmas in July at The Stamp Simply Store!  Sharon has been filling the store daily with all the new goodies!  Be sure to check out the store HERE for all Christmas products and her blog for ongoing inspiring ideas HERE.

For my project, I utilized JustRite's Noel Christmas Ornaments Set to stamp three ornament shaped tags. Love the variety of sentiments in this set too and used three different ones on each stamped ornament!     

One of the advantages to the Noel Christmas Ornaments Set is that is includes three different ornament shapes.  A GREAT option, all in one set.  And it happens to be on sale too at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!  The tag body and tag front are cut using Spellbinders Heirloom 2011 Dies. 

The designer paper used on this creation is from Graphic 45 French Country 8" x 8" paper pad. As you begin your holiday creating, don't forget about all those papers that are not necessarily considered holiday papers but will work well for a project such as this.  

Kaisercraft adhesive rhinestones are the perfect and easiest embellishment, no?  They come in various colors and sizes, you can find them HERE.  I adhered all papers, borders and embellishments using Scor Tape. This superior tape comes in many widths and is found HERE. I stamped and die cut a Noel tag for the container top utilizing the sentiment Noel along with a border included in the set. A silk bow, with faux canvas ribbon and a few rhinestones finish the package nicely!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you're having a terrific Thursday!

JustRite March Release, Day One

Greetings!  Happy Sunday to you!  Today begins JustRite Papercraft March Release!  And, we are beginning this release with great news!  We're happy to announce a talented new designer to our JustRite Team! That's right, please join me in welcoming Margie Higuchi! 

Be sure to leave some love on her BLOG!  Welcome Margie, I am thrilled to be working with you! 

How about a spring watering can to begin JustRite's March Release?  I found this wonderful water can template on the Splitcoaststampers site HERE.  There are tons of tutorials with lots of great ideas.  I traced the pattern onto my designer paper and cut out.  The tutorial gives step by step directions and was quite easy! To hold all seams and can components together, I used ScorTape.  I love the dependability of this adhesive tape and you can find it HERE at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!  

Winged Vintage Labels Two & Three is a JustRite Clear Stamp Set featuring 29 stamps! It is designed by Amy Tedder of Amy Tedder Designs! I stamped my label sentiment with ClearSnap ColorBox Moss Green Pigment ink. I then the cut the label out using JustRite Custom Spellbinders Vintage Labels Three.  The label edges were shaded using a sponge dauber found HERE. 

For the butterfly image I used a Faber Castell Marker to color my stamp before stamping onto my cardstock.  I then went over the stamped image lightly with a wet paintbrush.  After it was dry, which did not take long as I used the water sparingly, it was time to try out my new Faber Castell Gelato stick.  It is smooth as butter and was so easy to glide onto my butterfly image! I also used my wet paintbrush to spread the Gelato color a bit! Faber Castell store is HERE.

JustRite's Winged Vintage Labels Two & Three coordinates with Spellbinders Wonderful Wings Die Set.  It is found HERE in the JustRite Store.  Winged Vintage Labels Two & Three also coordinates with JustRite Custom Spellbinder Die Sets, Vintage Labels Two HERE and Vintage Labels Three found HERE!  As you can see, I added a flower stem after gluing a small piece of florist foam to the inside bottom of the can.  Seam binding HERE and adhesive rhinestones HERE finish the embellishing nicely!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I've not been blogging much lately and I apologize for that! But I do have a good reason, our youngest daughter is getting married next month!  So much to do with such little time!  Here is a pic of her and fiancé!  Thanks for indulging this Momma and allowing me to share! Take good care, and I will see you tomorrow for JustRite Release Day Two!

I have this paper because my actual baby book is falling apart... guess they didn't think about acid free paper and such in 1945. I love the way you have used the papers for such a darling card! Such inspiration!

Graphic 45 Sweet Baby Girl Card

Good Morning!  I have a girly version of the card I made for Saturday's Ribbon Inspiration - Sweet Baby!  The designer paper is from the Little Darlings paper pad by Graphic 45. I added a larger bow using that WONDERFUL seam binding, The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store is now carrying! You cannot go wrong with the coordinating chipboard sets, that work so well with the papers!  The sweet little butterflies were cut from a sheet of the paper and I used the little girl images for the banner!  

Graphic 45 Sweet Baby Boy Card in Clear Box

I wanted to share how this 5" x 5" card fits perfectly in the 5.5" x 5.5" clear boxes Sharon carries in her store. These cards are for a set of twins, and I wanted to present the cards separately and the boxes accommodate the embellishments perfectly.  It packs more of a wow presentation too!  The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store carries three sizes of these clear boxes!  

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! Take good care!
