JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop #4

Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature:
12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop #4!

Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops to showcase their entire Christmas Collection!

Mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am U.S. Central Standard Time for great Christmas gift, card and project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog! This week, it's the Spellbinders™ Design Team!

Today, I'd like to share a card that I created with JB-09520 Clear Horizontal Stamper, JB-09255 Christmas Nested Sentiments & Verses and JB-P09770 Holiday Cheer with Free 1 3/16" Stamper (Limited Time).

Of course, in the mix are some of my favorite Spellbinders™ die templates. I shaped the card with S5-025 Labels Seventeen #6 (the smallest size die is #1) and used the same set to frame the sentiment (die #4) and its foil mat (die #3).

Using F-003 Blue Premium Craft Foil, I embossed with I2-1006 Impressabilities™ Floral and Stone for a textured mat behind the sentiment. I sanded the foil to highlight the embossing.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the JB-09255 Christmas Nested Sentiments & Verses and cut it
with the S5-025 Labels Seventeen #3. Make sure to secure the die template with repositionable tape.

After I stamped an image from the JB-P09770 Holiday Cheer and cut/embossed with S4-114 Standard Circles LG #1 , I colored with atyou Spica Olive and Red to give it some sparkle.

For its mat, I cut/embossed S4-114 Standard Circles LG #2  and used a cool product from MuddPuddles.net. It started as a wet paste and when it dried, it became artificial grass! Love it! They also have it in sand, snow and many other variations. When dried, I edged it with dark green ink.

The last embellishment was the flower I created by winding a pleated ribbon on a cardstock circle with Zip Dry. Then afterwards, I adhered the matted holly image on top of the flower.

I inked the edges of the other elements and assembled the layers as shown below for a finished card.
