Smiles.........

Good morning.  Today I have another pretty card to share using JustRite Papercraft's February release set called Hello Buttercup along with Reversed Crackle Background.  Here in Maine we have been getting so much snow!!  I am more than ready to see my flowers bloom.

I started my card by creating a sunburst base and using the Reversed Crackle Background along the bottom of the card.  I love the look of a sunburst card and it is really easy to make.  Next I stamped the flowers from Hello Buttercup onto the matching SVG cut file, colored them with Copics and added some orange bead centers.  The sentiment is also included in Hello Buttercup.

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some gorgeous projects today using Hello Buttercup - be sure to check them out.....

Mom's Lilacs

Good morning everyone.  It's been a while since I've posted anything!  Today I'm playing along with the JustRite Papercraft January release.  Today's set holds a special meaning for me.  It's called Lilac Blossoms.  Lilacs were one of my mom's favorite flowers.  I have a lilac bush in my yard that comes from my great grandfather's old homestead.  I love lilacs and they smell amazing!!

I began my card by using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Reflective Moment die then I added lots and lots of purple pearls.

Next I stamped the larger Lilac Blossom stamp onto the matching Lilac Blossom SVG cut file (awesome!) and colored them using Copic markers.  This was placed onto a rectangle piece stamped using Script Background stamp.  To finish off my card I added a "Mom" tag in honor of my mom who passed away 1 year ago January 8th.  Every time I look at this card I will be reminded of her.

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some beautiful projects today using Lilac Blossoms and Script Background.  Be sure to check them out!

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.

Mother's Day Card

Good morning everyone.  I know that Mother's Day is not until May but I have a card done anyway.  I started out by creating my background paper using a stamp from the Rubber Stamp Tapestry Corner & Heart Doily set.  I've never tried creating my own background paper but I think this came out really nice.

The background is stamped with Memento Sweet Plum and Memento Lulu Lavender.  Once I stamped the background I needed to decide on a stamp for my focal point.  I wanted to use some different stamps that I had not used yet.  Is there anyone else that buys stamps because they are cute and then never use them??  I am going to try and change that.  This stamp is from the Martha Stewart Cake Stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 9.  The sentiment is from the JustRite Stampers Happy Everything Mini Tag Set. 

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Have a wonderful day!!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Martha Stewart Wedding Cake set, Rubber Stamp Tapestry Corner & Heart Doily set, JustRite Stampers Happy Everything Mini Tag Set

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Memento Sweet Plum

Dies:  Spellbinders Labels 9, Fancy Tags

CPS Sketch Challenge 166

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!  I hope everyone has big plans for today.  We are having everyone over to our house for a cook-out.  I'm thinking that it might be a "cook in" because it is going to be windy & chilly.  Oh, well it will still be nice to have everyone here.

Today I am playing along with the CPS Sketch Challenge sponsored by JustRite Stampers.  I needed one more Mother's Day card for my mother in law and this sketch worked out well for that.

I used JustRite Curlz Font ensemble to create  "MuM" and a border from one of the new sets just released called "Applique".  I double inked the images (Memento Rich Cocoa for the center and Memento Bamboo Leaves for the border).  Then I colored the border with Copics, diecut with Spellbinders Labels One and then edged with Copic.

To create my flower, I cut several different sizes of flowers using my Cricut Expression along with the Walk In My Garden Cartridge and layered them together with pop dots.  Then I used the Curlz Font ensemble again to create my sentiment "Happy Mother's Day".  Next I diecut it with Spellbinders Pinking Circles and edged it with a Copic.

To create the arrow from the sketch, I applied Kaiser pearls.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day and enjoys time spent with your moms.

Supplies:

Stamps:  JustRite Stampers - Applique Borders and Centers, Curlz Font Ensemble

JustRite Challenge - Mother's Day

Happy Friday everyone.  I have a very busy weekend coming up.  Saturday I am participating in the MS Walk with my daughter.  She lives 2 hours away so I will be driving for a big part of Saturday.  Then on Monday I have to go back to my daughter's house because she is receiving an Honor Society award at college on Monday night.  Lots and Lots of driving but both days are well worth it.

Today's card is inspired by the Friday Challenge over at JustRite Inspiration.  The challenge is to create a Mother's Day card.  It doesn't seem possible that Mother's Day is right around the corner.  Where has this year gone!!  Soon it will be summer and my youngest daughter will be complaining because she is bored.

My card uses one of the JustRite new release sets that were just shown this week.  This set is called "Applique".  It was so much fun to color.  I stamped the image 3 times, colored them all the same with Copic markers and then handcut them out.

My sentiment was created using the JustRite Curlz Font ensemble.  Each word was stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves and then diecut with Spellbinders Labels Trio.  I inked around each word with VersaMagic Purple Hydrangea.  The Kaiser pearls were also colored yellow with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Have a great weekend!!
