Bookmarks - Stamp Simply Ribbon Style

Good morning everyone.  Tonight is my last guest post for Sharon at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I have had a blast playing with the goodies that Sharon sent me.

Today I have some adorable bookmarks to share.  I got the instructions from Sharon - these are SUPER easy to make and are perfect for little gifts that we all need from time to time.

Here are the details on how to make these bookmarks



  • Cut paper 5 1/2 x 6 3/4.
  • Score at 2 1/2 and 5, which leaves a 1/2″ flap.
  • Turn the paper in your Scor-Pal and score at 1/2″ from the bottom.
  • Cut out the two end pieces as shown, then gently angle the edges of the piece left.
  • Using red sticky tape, first adhere the large flap to form the cover, then turn up the bottom flap and adhere — it will be on the outside of the cover. With the ends of that little flap angled a bit, it looks very nice — like a little envelope!!!
I have posted each individual bookmark below and listed the products used on each:

Bookmark #2





Bookmark #3:

Dies:  Spellbinders Classic Circles, Classic Scallop Circles




Thanks again to Sharon Johnson for having me as a guest designer.  Be sure to check out all of the great goodies that Sharon has in her store - Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Have a great week!!

Gingerbread House

Happy Sunday evening everyone!  I have another great project to share as I guest design over at Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I thought that tonight was going to be my final guest spot however Sharon has asked me to stay on for another week!  I am SUPER excited about that!!
Today I decided to go back to my scrapbooking roots and create a Christmas page using the Kaisercraft Holly Bright paper pad from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I thought that the color scheme in this pad was perfect for my gingerbread girl page.

The photos are of my youngest daughter Emily back in 2009 with her finished gingerbread house (can you tell that I'm a bit behind in my scrapbooking).  Two of the photos are matted onto white cardstock diecut using Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles.  The gingerbread house is matted onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Parisian Accents on the corners.

When Sharon sent me some of these foam gingerbread men I didn't know how I was going to decorate her but then I saw that Sharon also sent some white ric rac which was perfect for the "icing" on the gingerbread girl.  I hand cut the dress using more of the paper from the Kaisercraft Holly Bright pad.  The lace across the bottom of her dress is also from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store which was white and I just colored it using Copic Markers.  

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Be sure to check back next Sunday for another project using supplies from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I'm already working on it and I think it's going to be super cute!!

Have a great week!

Baby Boy

Happy Sunday everyone.  Tonight I have a baby boy card to share.  All of the products used on my card can be purchased from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
Believe it or not, I made this card without any stamps!!  I don't think I've ever done that before but it was super easy to do because I had the Kaisercraft Lullaby Collection 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 paper pad.


I chose the cute baby carriage image from the Kaisercraft Lullaby Collection paper pad and matted it onto Spellbinders Lacey Square diecut.  Next I used the Spellbinders Classic Edges One to create a nice border for the left side of the card.  I added a pretty blue bow using blue seam binding.  The little boy tag is also in the paper pad and I added a tiny baker's twine bow.


Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Next Sunday will be my last guest designing spot for Sharon.  I'm planning a cute scrapbook page so be sure to check back.

Have a great week!

Project Supplies:

Paper:  Kaisercraft Lullaby Collection

Dies:  Spellbinders Classic Edges One, Lacey Squares

Misc:  Bakers Twine, Seam Binding, buttons

Flutter - Sweet Hearts Clear Stamps


Good morning.  Welcome to the final day of JustRite Papercraft's November release.  Today's set is called "Sweet Hearts" Clear Stamps and is perfect for several occasions including Valentine's Day.



I found some nice chipboard letters at Michael's and decided to alter the letter "L".  I think I'm going to use this on a scrapbook page in my daughter's wedding album.

I covered the chipboard letter with some designer paper and added lace and pearls to the edges.  Next I diecut Spellbinders Lace Hearts, colored with Copic markers and inked the edges.  The sentiment I chose from "Sweet Hearts Clear Stamps" seemed to fit perfectly for a wedding page.  To tie in the "flutter" theme, I diecut some butterflies from Spellbinders Wonderful Wings and added some pearls as tails.

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some really nice projects today using Sweet Hearts Clear Stamps.  Be sure to check them out.

Perfect Blend - Coffee and Friends Background

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 4 of the JustRite November release.  Today's release is Coffee and Friends Background.  I'm not a coffee drinker but I couldn't resist playing with this background stamp simply because this rooster is so ADORABLE!!


I decided to create a shadow box that can be hung up in any kitchen.  To make the shadow box I just took an 8 x 10 canvas and used the back side.  For the sides of the shadow box I pulled out my "dusty" paper crimper and crimped some ivory paper and then inked the edges with Ranger Walnut Stain.  Then I added some twine along the edges and a sweet twine bow for the top corner.

Next I used Spellbinders Fancy Lattice die to create the appearance of chicken wire to insert into the shadow box.  I stamped the Coffee and Friends Background, colored with Copic markers and matted onto dark burgundy cardstock.  

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some really creative ideas for the Coffee and Friends Background.  Be sure to check them out.

Dad - Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Cling Stamps

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 2 of JustRite Papercraft's November Release.  Today's set is a masculine set called "Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Cling set".  This is a perfect set for those of us who struggle with masculine cards.  The images in this set will work with most every guy in your life.


To begin my card I chose a background stamp from JustRite Papercraft called Cozy Plaid.  Whenever I see this background stamp I instantly think "masculine".  It was the perfect base for my card.


Next I chose the frame image from Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Cling Stamps, colored with Copic markers and diecut using JustRite Papercraft Vintage Labels Five.  To personalize the card I chose the sentiment "Dad" and stamped it directly onto my background.

Here are the other JustRite designers also with some great masculine cards using Haberdashery Vintage Labels Five Cling Stamps.  Be sure to check them out.

Happy Birthday - Shoes Vintage Labels Six Cling Stamps


Good morning everyone.  Welcome to Day 1 of the JustRite Papercraft November release.  Today's release set is called "Shoes Vintage Labels Six Cling Stamps".  This set is perfect for the shoe lover out there but there are also parts of this set perfect for non-shoe lovers.  My card is an example of a non-shoe lover.

My card base is 5" x 5".  I chose the beautiful bouquet included in the Shoes Vintage Labels Six Cling set, colored with copics.  The silver frame is also included in Shoes Vintage Labels Six Cling set which I heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  Next I diecut it using JustRite Papercraft's Vintage Labels Six die and handcut the center oval.  I placed the bouquet image under the frame and adhered it using pop dots.



The sentiment is from "Birthday Wishes For You Clear set", stamped onto Vintage Labels Two diecut.  The beautiful corner piece was diecut using Spellbinders Filigree Corner die.  To finish my card I added a beautiful bow using some ivory seam binding from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

Merry Christmas

Good evening everyone.  It's Sunday evening which means my 2nd of 4 guest spots with Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  It is so fun to have such cool stuff to create with.  Sharon's store has everything needed to make gorgeous cards - all in one stop.  Be sure to check it out here.

Today I decided to get started on my Christmas cards - I can't believe that Christmas is only a few weeks away!!


I started out by deciding on which pretty paper to choose from the Bo Bunny Elf Magic 6 x 6 pad that Sharon sent me.  The paper in this pad is so pretty.  Once the card base was created, then I began building my masterpiece.


I chose a frame and sentiment from JustRite Papercraft Christmas Labels Twenty Two, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copic Markers.  Next I diecut it using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two.  The sentiment is popped up from the frame using 3-D adhesive squares.

Next I chose a pretty red ric rac ribbon to separate the different pattern papers.  I made a pretty bow using some brown seam binding and topped it with a poinsettia from the Prima Holiday Collection.

The sentiment "Merry Christmas" comes in the JustRite Papercraft Noel Christmas Ornaments stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut using JustRite Papercraft Vintage Label and Banners.  This is also popped up using 3-D adhesive squares.  For some added bling - I placed some red Kaiser rhinestones randomly on my card.


That's it for me tonight.  I will be back next Sunday night (November 10th) with another project using supplies from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  Be sure to check back.

Have a great night!
