Day One, JustRite Papercraft Shoes Vintage Labels Five Cling Stamp Set

Welcome to Day ONE of JustRite's November Release!  We will be revealing a new set for five days!  So I hope you will join us this week for JustRite Papercraft inspiration galore!

How about a shaped card using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One Dies?  The flower image from today's Shoes Vintage Labels Six set is stamped onto Ranger watercolor paper with StazOn ink.  I used a water brush to color them and the background. The color is picked up onto the brush by lightly dabbing the brush onto the ink pads.  I wet the background before adding color and spread the water/color as far as it wanted.  The lower flower bouquet is cut using a craft knife to allow that portion to lay atop the die edge so it is not cut through! So, the flower bouquets are stamped and colored in place!

This wonderful Shoes Vintage Labels Six stamp set is designed by Amy Tedder and contains 9 cling stamps. The stamps are made of deeply etched red rubber that will cling to any acrylic block. The shoe is stamped and hand trimmed.  Its hard to see but I added SU Crystal Effects and a bit of glitter to glam them up!  A little bow and voila! The sentiment is stamped and die cut using a standard Spellbinders circle.  Adding those tiny twinkles add the finishing touch!

Check out the amazing creations the following super talented designers have for you today!  Click on the names and you will be taken to each respective blog. Enjoy!

Definitely Christmas in July, today it's a Noel Ornaments Day, JustRite Style!

Welcome!  Today is Day One revealing JustRite's July Release Stamp Sets!  And it's Christmas in July!  We'll be revealing sets every single day this week!  So get ready to be inspired beyond words!

I made a trio of cards, same execution for each, just in various colors! Isn't that button snowman the cutest? So simple and easy! Love the non traditional colors of pink and purple for a holiday/winter card!  

Take a look at this clear set, featuring 34 stamps!  Yes, that's right!  Noel Christmas Ornaments is full of ornament options galore! I stamped the teardrop ornament and trimmed out before using the slot punch on each side to run the seam binding through. Next was applying glitter to the edges of the ornaments and the stamped sentiment banners. Assembly was quick after the prep, and then came glueing the buttons atop the ornaments along with the tiny gems and string scarfs! A little bit of glitter at the base of each snowmen and voila' three cards ready to go! 

Check out all the Noel Christmas Ornaments goodness the following designers have for you.  Click on each name to be transported to each respective blog!  Have fun and enjoy the hop!  See you tomorrow!

Bon Voyage! From Paris with Love! Ring & Heart Tin, JustRite!

Good Tuesday Morning! I do believe you are in for a treat today! Well, actually for the next three days! JustRite Stampers has released their three new stamp sets for the month of September & JustRite Designers will be sharing what they have been creating with those stamp sets! The feature set today is Bon Voyage! Creative goodness at its best!

I took several pics of my creation to show the heart tin outside, the heart tin inside, the heart shape tin lid, and of course it all started with the ring! Kelli put together this cool collage of pics to give you a look at the project in its entirety. Thank YOU, Kelli! A quick note about how the ring is displayed in the tin, I rolled two pieces of designer paper into hollow tubes and cut to fit the tin. In between the two paper tubes allows a place for the ring to fit between, thus holding it upright.

Bon Voyage is a JustRite Cling set featuring 13 stamps. I stamped the Eiffel Tower onto my clear shrinky dink material with StazOn black ink. I allowed it to dry for several minutes before cutting around the image. I then used my embossing heat gun to shrink! I've not played with shrinky dink material in quite a while! Why? I don't know! I do know I love creating with it though, fun! You might be wondering where the tag sentiment image is hiding? That will be revealed in tomorrow's post! I can tell you after stamping I cut the tag out using my Spellbinders tag die. I then cut the tag in half. The perfect little pearls are called Nestabling! Want2Scrap is now stocking many Nestablings to coordinate with many of Spellbinders Dies! Life is good!

I stamped my ring images onto white cardstock, then firmly pressed the cardstock piece atop the ring creating an oval indentation outline. I cut along the indentation, placed a few drops of Crystal Effects onto the oval ring base and then placed the stamped oval securely in place. I let it dry for an hour while I worked on the heart tin. I applied three coats of Crystal Effects, allowing drying time between coats. After the first coat I placed silver cording inside the oval ring edge. After the last coat of Crystal Effects, I dropped in three tiny black twinkles and Shrinky Dink Eiffel Tower. I let the ring dry overnight, one things for sure, once Crystal Effects dries it's secure! The ring elements are not going anywhere! lol

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I know you will love all the Bon Voyage goodness! I'll see you tomorrow for the next reveal! Take Good Care!

Happy Birthday Kellie!

K is for KELLIE! Today is Kellie Fortin's Birthday! JustRite Designers are throwing a blog hop filled with birthday wishes along with some creative goodness to share! Hop on over to the JustRite BLOG or Kellie's BLOG and leave her some birthday love! I covered the "K" with gorgeous paper from K&Company's Spring Blossom Paper pad. This is a picture of the kit Sharon Johnson, owner of The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store has put together. I love the fact that Sharon has coordinated all the needed ribbons and embellishments in one kit, easier for me and removes the guesswork! Yes, I LOVE that! I used a few of the sentiments from JustRite's Elegant Frames Set! This is a CLING set and features 11 stamps. The framing for the sentiments are lovely, no?

Closeup of the largest sentiment and shows the wonderful twill ribbon, the same twill as the flower embellishment. The flower is created by running a stitch along the ribbon edge, pulling tightly to gather. The orange twill is then tacked in a circular fashion to resemble a flower, the yellow twill is handled the same except not near as much ribbon is utilized and the green is stitched into a bud. All twill layers are stacked and stitched together as shown, then glued onto the decor "K" piece.

I positioned a few sentiments on the "K" in light ink colors to blend in with the paper. Can you find all of them? This is such fun and adds another special touch to the decor piece. I painted the back and edges with white acrylic, adhered the paper with scortape, then sanded the edges. I then went back and painted the edges again for a more finished look!

Happy Birthday to You, my friend! Wishing you happiness Today, Tomorrow and Always!

You Make Me Laugh!

For my card today I used JustRite's NEW Birthday Celebrations Set , this set reveals NEW extra wide borders that are designed to be interchangeable with all JustRite 2 " Centers! Woot! I love when I get extra mileage from my sets! I combined the Adorable Dragon Set image on my creation too! Here is a full look at Birthday Celebrations! My border is stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy ink, all other stamping uses Memento Tuxedo Black. I interchanged the the bottom outer border with the other bottom center image.

Closeup look to reveal the bit of sparkle added to this adorable dragon using Spica Pens. All images are Copic colored. White cardstock is Papertreyink, Green is SU, and designer paper is from Webster's Pages Waiting for Santa & Sweet Santa combo pack found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!

Bag-A-Lopes! JustRite!

I needed a few small candy bags and decided to go with bag a lopes, created from envelopes. I followed the tutorial, HERE over at Splitcoaststampers. I used the same A2 sized SU envie for each bag, I just scored at different increments and trimmed tops to create various sized bags.. I went with flowers I had already created, and attached with scor tape. This bag holds yummy Dove dark chocolate eggs! They are pink and silver wrapped, so this was a perfect filler!

And here is a bag with just flowers and adhesive pearls. The top is tied together with silver cording. The bag tops are scalloped using my corner rounder. Most ribbons are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

The stamped sentiments for two of the bag a lopes are from JustRite's Just A Note Set. Copic markers RV11, RV14, & G21 are the colors used for flowers and leaves. Taylored Expressions tiny gems are attached with TomBow Mono Multi Liquid glue.

So there you have it! Easy and fast, which is exactly what I need about now! Hope you are having a great week so far! I'll be back tomorrow with my Stamp Simply Challenge creation! Think chipboard! Take good care!

CPS #157 Sketch Challenge, JustRite!

JustRite Stampers is sponsoring the Card Positioning Systems Sketch Challenge this week! All prize details are HERE. Hope you play along! Good Luck! The Copic colored flower image on my card is found in this JustRite set, Beautiful Blossoms. I chose to cut the image out with my craft knife, and raise the middle image with foam dimensionals. The Happy Birthday sentiment comes from JustRite's set, JustA Note. All 1 5/8" JustRite Stamps are on 20% off this month! Check it out, Great deal!

A closer look at the flower, I added a Taylored Expressions rhinestone dot to each flower center with my Tombow Multi liquid glue. The silk ribbon is from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! Patterned paper is October Afternoon, Report Card. All cardstock is SU.

Tomorrow is The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store March Blog HOP! Remember THIS ribbon flower goodness? There will be a bucket of that goodness and a ribbon package offered as blog candy! Take good care, see you tomorrow!

Lace Heart Butterfly Love

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 24

Here is my take on Taylor's sketch challenge found here. I turned the sketch upside down and used the heart from FLOURISHES Lace Heart stamp set for the butterfly wings. The image was stamped with Versamark then heat embossed with clear embossing powder on one of the Basic Grey Euphoria designer papers. I folded the ends in and attached to card underneath the wings.

The middle body piece and antennas are from FLOURISHES Cake Decorating 101 and sentiment is from FLOURISHED Words and stamped with Palette Landscape ink. I covered those pieces with my melon Spica pen. Click on picture for a larger view and to see the sparkle! Edges of paper and butterfly edges are distressed with Ranger Distress Inks, shabby shutters and tattered rose respectively.

I love the basic grey paper with the matching brads used on the hardware! The pearls are perfect for the butterfly and upper right hand corner! May Arts Scalloped edged ink satin ribbon and all these products are found at FLOURISHES. Hope you had a great weekend! We had a house showing, which meant cleaning up the art studio! I hate that! I am a very messy stamper and like everything out in sight! But into the closet it went for a few hours!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I really appreciate it! Have a great Monday!

HUGS,

My first Taylored Expressions Cupcake Friday Challenge!

I decided to try Taylor VanBruggen's sketch challenge! This is #23 and she always posts them for her Friday Cupcake Challenge on her blog HERE. I know I did not use cupcakes in this creation, but that is OK! Not only is this good for me to improve my card designs, but it's fun to see what Taylor creates along with her Cupcake Friday Team. Taylor has branched out with her own online store, Taylored Expressions. Check it out, her creations and store items are to die for! I have been a long time admirer of Taylor, first seeing her work with Papertreyink. And you know, I love all things Papertrey!

Onto the card details, FLOURISHES Love Nest bird image was stamped twice and cut out. The Sultry designer papers are Basic Grey found at FLOURISHES. DREAM sentiment is found in FLOURISHES Floral Fantasy Garden stamp set. White brads are from local dollar store.

Close up view of the birds with the left one adhered on a less thick piece of foam than the right to add dimension. I love how they look like they are sitting on the branch. I am getting more brave with my Janome Sew Mini! I tried some wavy stitching on this card. White edged paper was created with a dauber and SU white craft ink. May Arts scalloped satin ribbon is from FLOURISHES. I love the little bit of edging that adds to the overall look of the card. Thanks so much for stopping in! I love that you come by, it means so much to me. Take good care! HUGS,
