Happy Birthday

Good morning,  Today I have a masculine birthday card to share.  I don't know about everyone else but masculine cards are really hard for me to do.  I think it's because I really like the frilly look of lots of layers, bows, glitter, etc on cards.  But there are many times when a masculine card is needed so I had to push the ribbon and bows to the side :)

Today's card uses some of the new releases from JustRite Papercraft.  The base layer is a new background called "Leafy Background", stamped with Versamagic Sahara Sand.  I also stamped the Leafy Background using Versamagic Aloe Vera and diecut a circle using Spellbinders Standard Circles.  On that circle I stamped an antique car from JustRite Papercraft Explore Vintage Labels Four.  I also used font from JustRite Papercraft Market Place Alphabet to stamp "DAD".  The sentiment "Happy Birthday" is also included in Explore Vintage Labels Four and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 4.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Today is my 16th Wedding Anniversary so I will be spending some quality time with my hubby.  I hope you have a great day.

Supplies:  



Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Northern Pine, Versamagic Sahara Sand, Aloe Vera

Speedy Recovery

Good morning.  Today I have a Get Well card that I've made to add to my card stockpile.  This type of card  is always good to have on hand for those unexpected needs.

The card focal point is an image and sentiment from a new release from JustRite Papercraft called "Get Well Labels Twenty".  The image is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored with Copics, and diecut using Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with Spellbinders Grand Ovals.

Here is a look at the entire "Get Well Labels Twenty" set

JustRite Papercraft June Release Day 5

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to the final day of the JustRite June Release.  Today there are 2 background stamps being shown - Leafy Background and Autumn Swirls Background.  I have a card using the Autumn Swirls Background today and will have one using Leafy Background sometime later this week.


To create my background I randomly applied Gelatos to the Autumn Swirls Background, spritzed it with water, stamped it onto cardstock, cut into 1" squares and placed onto yellow cardstock to create a "window appearance.

The sentiments are from JustRite Ornate Happiness Squares and diecut using Spellbinders Long Rectangles (Thankful), JustRite Charms (I am) and JustRite Vintage Labels and Banners (Because of you...).

To finish the card I added a cute bow using some acorn ribbon.

Here are the other JustRite designers also using Autumn Swirls Background and Leafy Background.

JustRite Papercraft June Release Day 4

Good morning and welcome to Day 4 of the JustRite June Release.  Today we have some really great Halloween stamps - Boo-tiful Cameos and Spiderweb Background.  These sets were designed by Samantha Walker

 I decided to make a cute little Halloween treat bag using today's Halloween Stamps.  Once I diecut the bag from cardstock I stamped the Spiderweb background using Memento Tuxedo Black.
The sentiment "Trick or Treat" and cameo are included in Boo-tiful Cameos.  To get the multi color I just applied Memento Grape Jelly and Memento Tangelo randomly.  The sentiment is diecut with Spellbinders Square Swatches.  The spider is also part of the Boo-tiful Cameos and just handcut.  The word "Halloween" was also multi-inked.

Here are the other JustRite designers with some really cool projects using Spiderweb Background and Boo-tiful Cameos.

JustRite Papercraft June Release Day 3

Good morning and welcome to Day 3 of the JustRite June Release.  Today there are 2 sets - Sweet Lace Background and Doilies and Lace.


To begin my card, I stamped the Sweet Lace Background onto green cardstock using white embossing powder.  Next I colored an image from Doilies and Lace directly using Memento Markers (Bamboo Leaves and Lulu Lavender), stamped onto white cardstock and diecut with Spellbinders Standard Circles and matted onto Spellbinders Petite Scallop Circles.  The image was also stamped 2 more times and diecut with Spellbinders Standard Circles to get the center images.

For the border along the bottom of the card, I used another image from Doilies and Lace, stamped with Versamagic Purple Hydrangea and diecut with Spellbinders Classic Edges One.  The corner images are also from Doilies and Lace and just handcut.

Here are the other JustRite designers with some amazing projects using Doilies and Lace and Sweet Lace Background

JustRite Papercraft June Release Day 2

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to Day 2 of the JustRite June release.  Today there are 2 sets being shown - Get Well Labels Twenty and Chicken Soup Labels Four.  These sets are perfect for those Get Well type of cards that we all need on a regular basis (unfortunately).

For my card I chose to use Chicken Soup Labels Four.


For my card base I googled "tea cup" photos, found the one that I liked, traced it onto my cardstock, then cut it out.  Then I chose the JustRite Damask Wallpaper Background and stamped it onto the teacup using Versamagic Lilac Posies.  On the top and bottom portion of the teacup I diecut Spellbinders Classic Edges Two in white and purple cardstock.

The focal point of my card is the sentiment from JustRite Chicken Soup Labels Four.  I used Memento Markers (Pear Tart and Grape Jelly) to color my image, stamped it onto the cardstock, and diecut with Spellbinders Labels Four.

Here are the other JustRite designers using Chicken Soup Labels Four and Get Well Labels Twenty.  Be sure to check them out for some great inspiration.

JustRite Papercraft June Release Day 1

Good morning everyone.  Before we get started I want to let you know that JustRite is having an awesome sale right now - 20% off all Spellbinder dies!!!  How cool is that!  Be sure to get those wish  lists out and start shopping.

Welcome to Day 1 of the JustRite June Release.  Today's set is called "Let Your Soul Sing".


When I saw the sentiment "Let Your Soul Sing" I knew that I wanted to pair this set with the JustRite Shabby Music Background - I thought it was a perfect match!

The Shabby Music Background stamp is inked with Versamagic Sahara Sand and Memento Tuxedo Black. The butterflies are part of "Let Your Soul Sing" set, stamped with Versamagic Pink Petunia and handcut.  I stamped the Shabby Music Background again using Versamagic Wheat, diecut with Spellbinders Labels 4.  Then I stamped the sentiment from "Let Your Soul Sing" with Memento Rich Cocoa on top of the Shabby Music Background.  To finish off my card I added a pretty pink bow.

Here are the other JustRite designers also showing some amazing projects today using Let Your Soul Sing.
