JustRite: Rose Postcard Cling Background

I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft February 2014 Release – Rose Postcard Cling Background Stamp using our exclusive Heirloom Flourish OneDie. Been away most of January and wasn't able to finish this card up until now. Love how the soft colors work with the Kraft card base that I embossed with Spellbinders® Labels 34 Medallion.


ちょっと遅くなりました...JustRite2月のリリースRose Postcard Cling Background Stampを紹介させて頂きます。素敵なバラのスタンプです~!12月に紹介しましたHeirloom Flourish One Die アクセントとして使いました。スペルバインダーズのLabels 34 Medallionでカード ベースをエンボスしました。


Emboss the card base with E3D-016 Labels 34 Medallion Folder to create a wonderful texture.


After I stamped the BEAUTIFUL Rose Postcard Cling Background Stamp on an ivory cardstock with StazOn Jet Black ink, I colored with Faber Castell® Design Memory Craft® ART Grip Aquarelle watercolor pencils (roses, leaves and butterfly) and brown pastel pencil (branches).




For my card panel, I cut and embossed Heirloom Flourish One Die (2 pcs) and S6-001 5 x 7 Matting Basics A die template.


Then assemble and adhere with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L® E-Z Runner. Add pearls and place on card base.


Here's a second look at the finished card...

Hazel & Ruby: Girly Door Hanger

There's a contest that new company, Hazel & Ruby is holding called Showcase Your Talent! Well, who could resist?! I had their Stencil-Mask sets and Chalk It Up Collection on hand so I gave it a try. This is what I came up with...A Girly Door Hanger! Perfect for any girl's room - just personalize with your little girl's initials :)


I started by tracing the door hanger with a pencil on the Rolling Floral patterned paper.


After I adhered the paper to the hanger, I sanded with a fine grade sandpaper for a perfect edge.


Forgot to take the picture of my first coat of paint but you can see underneath (CLICK on IMAGE to enlarge) the sun and capital "H". I used Everyday Shapes Stencil Mask (Sun) and Broadside Alpha 2.5" Stencil-Mask (H) for my project. I left those pieces on and put the Crown, Borders (Everyday Shapes Stencil-Mask) and Brackets (Blindside Alpha 1.75" Stencil-Mask) on top and painted with white paint. Let dry.



I took off all the stencil mask pieces and cleaned them off with a baby wipe - even the two layered paint pieces came off with no problem :) Using the Faber Castell® Design Memory Craft® Stamper's Big Brush Magenta Pen, I outlined the sun and "H".


To finish, I added my rolled Spellbinders® Spiral Blossom One and Foliage die cuts. Then some bling, heart shaped paper clips, trinket pin and eyelets (snip off the fasteners in the back) were placed for embellishments.



Here's a second look at the finished project!


Project Supplies:
Hazel & Ruby – Broadside Alpha 2.5" Stencil Mask, Everyday Shapes Stencil-Mask, Blindside Alpha 1.75" Stencil-Mask and Chalk It Up Collection (Rolling Floral patterned papers)
Spellbinders Creative Arts - S4-328 Foliage and S4-351 Spiral Blossom One
Door Hanger - Creative Imagination

I hope you give this idea a try with Hazel & Ruby Stencil-Mask - they are SO COOL to use! Did you know that they can be used over and over again?! I think this is my fourth project using them :)

Would love to hear what you think in the comments!! Thanks for stopping by!

Challenge: SweetHearts Canvas Project

Today, I wanted to share my 12 x 12" canvas project, using Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® products, Authentique Paper's Lovely Collection, Spellbinders® dies, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Stencil Girl stencil. CLICK ON IMAGES to make it larger :)

When I first saw Serendipity Feb 2014 Sketch challenge, I HAD to make something with this SUPER CUTE design - thanks, Miyuki-san!!!! BONUS: I saw Take the Challenge with Mou, Feb 2014 Challenge on Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft's Blog - I'm SO IN for that wonderful challenge too!! Thanks, Mou!!

私はmiyuchiさんのサイト、Serendipity 2月のスケッチで作ってみました (めっちゃ可愛いデザイン!)。 ご紹介させて頂きます。Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft, Spellbinders, Scrapbook Adhesive by 3L, Stencil Girl & Authentique Paper等 使いました。Miyuchiさん、ありがとうございます :) スケッチはこちら↓ (拡大するには、Imageをクリクしてね )


Heart・FULLなスケッチで「今回は絶対作る!」と思いました!私の作品は12 x 12" キャンべスです。去年のValentine’s Dayで撮った写真(Selfie)、私と旦那です~!お気に入りのスペルバインダーズのダイ(S2-022 Vines of Passion)は日本にも購入できますよ!是非,クリクしてね。


Add color to the primed canvas with Design Memory Craft Gelatos® 4 ct. - RED in Red Cherry, Bubble Gum and Guava colors for an ombre effect (used fingers and water misted to color). For an even blend, I used baby wipes and added more color along the way until I achieved my desired look.


I hand cut small pieces (squares and rectangles) of patterned papers. I hand cut two open hearts - the large one for adhering the paper pieces and the smaller one for an outline piece. I edged the smaller heart with Red Cherry Gelatos.


The paper pieced heart was covered with Gesso Textural Accent to tone down the busy patterns.


Next is to create a shadowed outline for the smaller heart. I lightly outline with pencil the shape. Then outlined with Guava Gelatos and spread with my fingers and water mister. Next I went over the outline with Red Cherry Gelatos with a fine tip Blending Chisel from the Gelatos Tool Set. Adhere together both hearts and to the canvas.


For accents, I used many Spellbinders die templates from the Die D-Lites line and a new one from the Card Creator series. Here's a couple of them pictured below...LOVE how they add to my project!


After assembling the pieces for my project, I wanted some accents to my black and white chalkboard-inspired title. So I did two things. First, I used Stencil Girl Products 4 x 4" Mini Lines Stencil behind the title by using Stamper's Big White Pen first and blend with baby white for a subtle look. Next I stenciled with Stamper's Big Brush Scarlet Red Pen and blended with my finger through the stencil.


Second, I colored a heart from 3D Foam Hearts by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L with Stamper's Big Brush Scarlet Red Pen (two coats, dry between coats) and accented with Stamper's Big White Pen. For an extra shine, I added Glaze Textural Accent.


Assemble as shown below and it's ready for display on Valentine's Day...or any day!

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft – Gelatos Color 4ct. - Red (Guava, Bubble Gum & Red Cherry), Gelatos Tool Set (Blending Chisel Tool), Gesso Textural Accent, Glaze Textural Accent, Stamper's Big White Pen and Stamper's Big Brush Scarlet Red Pen

JustRite: Diamond Filigree Background Stamp and Happy Occasion Belly Bands Two

Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s February 2014 ReleaseDiamond Filigree Cling Background Stamp and Happy Occasion Belly Bands Two Stamp set featuring Spellbinders® newest Belly Band Two dies to create a card.





2月のリリースです~!今日は、素敵なスタンプセット&バックグランドスタンプ(Diamond Filigree Cling Background Stamp and Happy Occasion Belly Bands Two)を紹介します。 いっぱいダイカットを重ねて、エレガントなカードを作りました。スペルバインダーズの新ダイセットBelly Band TwoをマッチするHappy Occasion Belly Bands Two スタンプセットJustRiteが使りました...嬉しいです!


For the card front, I used S6-001 5x7 Matting Basics A and S6-003 5x7 Enchanted Labels 28 die sets to create an elegant base.


After I cut and embossed Vintage Labels Seven Dies, I then stamped Diamond Filigree Cling Background Stamp with Plum Berry ink and inked the edges.


To create the belly band, you first need to determine how long you want the band. I placed my Belly Band Two die in the middle before cutting and embossing.


Next I took off the die template from the cardstock and used a paper trimmer to cut each side to the strips - just connect the cuts...real easy! Then stamped my images from Happy Occasion Belly Bands Two Stamp set with VersaMark ink, poured white embossing powder and heat set.


There is a pre-cut slit on both sides if you need it to thread ribbons. I used a strip of cream cardstock to match my card front.


Assemble the pieces with wet adhesives and 3D Foams for dimension. Add pearls for the finishing touch and it's ready to be given away! Here's a second look...
