Sunflower basket

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to more of JustRite Papercraft's July release.  Today's sets are Stitched Sunflowers and Basketweave Background.

To create my basket I used the instructions found on Marisa Job's blog - it's super easy!!  Once I diecut the basket sides (using JustRite Papercraft's Vintage and Labels Banner dies) I stamped them using the Basket weave background stamp.

The cute sunflowers are included in the Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight set which also has a matching SVG cut file - making it super easy to create a beautiful basket!  The 3-D sunflower hanging from the handle is also created using Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight set - all I did was stamp the image 5 times, fold in half, and attach to each other.  It's hung using fishing line.

Here are the other JustRite designers with some great projects today using Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight and Basketweave Background.

Love Note

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 3 of JustRite Papercraft's July release.  Today's release sets are sort of a blast from the past for me because the stamp theme is typewriters.  I remember using these typewriters when I was taking typing class in high school!!  Now there aren't many people that use typewriters anymore.

The focal point of my card using the typewriter stamp from "Just Typed" along with the matching SVG cut file.  I also used sentiments which are included in "Typewriter Sentiments".  I wanted to create the banner across the top of my card so I just stamped the "I Love You" stamp as individual words.  The banner was diecut using JustRite's Buntings and Button die.

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some adorable projects using Just Typed and Typewriter Sentiments ---

JustRite Papercraft December Release - Day 1 - Timely Banners Clear Stamps

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to day one of the JustRite Papercraft December release.  Today there are 2 stamps being shown - Timely Banners Clear Stamps and Time Flies Background Stamp.

Anniversary Candle

Good morning.  Welcome to day 2 of JustRite Stampers Release.  Today's stamp set is called "Vintage Oval Labels".  This stamp set comes in cling which I am really liking.  It stamps really nice!  This cling set is GORGEOUS!!  I'm not much of a "vintage" type of girl but I really like this set.

I was lucky enough to find some pillar candles at The Christmas Tree Shop on clearance for .50 just after Christmas.  I bought several to have on hand.  This is what my candle looked like when I bought it.

And this is what it looks like now:

I decided to make an Anniversary Candle.  This was one of those ideas that hit me right in the middle of the night - woke me up out of a sound sleep!!  I forced myself to go back to sleep but started on it as soon as I woke up.  I love decorating candles - I've done many as gifts for family and friends.  I think it just adds so much character and personality to a plain ole candle.

I used the 2 largest pieces in this set - the bottom layer is stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 13 and the top layer is stamped with Memento Desert Sand and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 6.  This set was designed to go perfectly with these Spellbinders dies - can't get much better than that!!  The sentiment is from the "Happy Everything Mini Tag Set", stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and diecut with Spellbinders Petite Ovals and matted onto Petite Scallop Ovals (another perfect match!)

The lace that I used was white so I airbrushed it with Copic markers so that it would match my Vintage look.  I also airbrushed the flowers as well as the ribbon (they were all white). 

Here is a look at the complete "Vintage Oval Labels" cling set

JustRite Sketch Challenge _048

Good morning everyone.  Today I am playing along with the sketch challenge over at JustRite Inspiration. 

Here is a look at this great sketch:

And here is my take on this sketch:



I chose the "Baroque Nested Frames" stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Memento Cottage Ivy, and diecut with the JustRite Custom Nested Frame Dies - a perfect match!!  No more trying to "eyeball" the cuts.  The corner embellishment is included in the JustRite Custom Nested Sentiment Dies.

The background paper is embossed using the Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder and then I sanded the raised portion to give the multi colored look.

Happy 13th Anniversary Mike!!!

Good morning everyone.  Today is a special day for me.  On this day 13 years ago, I married my wonderful husband Mike.  Wow - does time fly by!!!  I remember that day just like it was yesterday.

So for this special day, I have created a special card for my special husband. 

                              

My top sentiment is from the Romantic Sentiments set by JustRite, diecut with Spellbinders Classic Hearts.  The "Happy Anniversary" is from the Celebrations Demi Phrases set, also by JustRite.  All I did was load the demi phrase onto my horizontal stamper to make it straight across instead of circular.  It is diecut with Spellbinders Labels Trio.

The red layer is embossed using Cuttlebug Heart Blocks embossing folder.  The white layer is embossed using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

That's it for today.  Now I need to decide what I am going to cook for our anniversary dinner.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Supplies:

Stamps:  JustRite Stampers - Romantic Sentiments, Celebrations Demi Phrases

Paper:  Worldwin

Ink:  Memento Lady Bug

Accessories:  Spellbinders Classic Hearts & Classic Scallop Hearts Nestabilities, Labels Trio, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots & Heart Blocks embossing folders, Martha Stewart Lace Heart border punch

Happy Anniversary

Good morning everyone.  Today I have a beautiful Anniversary card that I will be giving to my sister-in-law and her husband who will be celebrating their wedding anniversary on the 16th. 

I knew that I wanted to make an elegant card but my elegant paper supply is very limited.  As I was going through my paper I found this beautiful white stitched paper from The Paper Company.  This paper is how I designed my color scheme.

For my sentiment, I chose a phrase from the "Romantic Sentiments" set by JustRite and diecut it using Spellbinders Classic Squares Nestabilities.  My border is from the "Decorative Frames Borders - Square" set, also by JustRite. 

To stamp "Happy Anniversary" I took one of the demi phrases from the "Celebrations Demi Phrases" set (JustRite) and loaded it onto the rectangular wood stamper.  These demi phrases work well on this stamper and it saved me time from having to spell it out myself.  If there is a shortcut - I will usually find it.

ENABLER ALERT!!!  The square Decorative Frame that I used on my card is on sale at JustRite Stampers for the month of May along with some other really nice stamp sets.  Be sure to head over there and get your faves while they are on sale!!

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Be sure to stop by tomorrow.  I will have a cute project to go along with the Friday challenge over at JustRite Inspiration.
