Happy Birthday Emi and Summer CHA or BUST~!!

Today is my friend, Emi's birthday...she tries to sneak past the day but I'm on to her - HA! On this occasion, I thought I would try my hand at Spellbinders® Creative Arts' newest Media Mixáge™ product - Oval Hatpins! So I created a little gift for my sweet friend on her 29½ year birthday (wink wink!!)!!!

I first filled the oval bezel cup with light pink self-adhesive Sea Glass created by the wonderful folks from Mudd Puddles. Love their stuff!! I used an idea my talented friend, Judy Hayes did on her recent sneak peek project - stuck a jump ring at the bottom of the cup (it's supposed to be closed which I did afterwards ;0P). Set aside to dry.

Next I cut Media Mixáge Birds One blank dies and S4-378 Cherry Blossoms, dies with shrink plastic, colored with Copic markers and heat to shrink. When cooled, I coated them with Matte Medium to prevent the color from running in the dimensional finish at the end.

I poured dimensional finish into the bezel cup. After an hour into the curing process, I added the Sakura blossom, bird (added a pearl for its eye) and branch, covered them with a little dimensional finish and let dry overnight.

Lastly, I added on a metal "e" monogram charm and a couple of clear crystals on the jump ring at the bottom of the bezel cup. Insert into the card that I have created earlier in JR: JUNE 2013 Release - Day 1 post - it was perfect for this project! I took out the existing sentiment and stamped another sentiment on the card front. Then I added a Sakura blossom at the bottom (folded five die cuts in half and adhered to each side to form a dimensional flower), inserted the pins and added pearls to finish.

Here's another look...

JustRite: JULY 2013 Release - Fun and Festive!

Another holiday card I made for JustRite® Papercraft's July 2013 Release is from the Christmas Vintage Labels Four Stamp set using their exclusive custom die template, Vintage Labels Four dies.

今日のスタンプセットは、Christmas Vintage Labels FourとCarta Bellaのペーパーを使ってちょっと素敵なクリスマスカードを作りました～！

I created an A2 size card and layered with some　of my favorite Spellbinders® die templates to boot! What do you think?

I started with Spellbinders Card Creator series (A2 Matting Basics A and B sets)to start my card base off right - no measuring, just cut/emboss and layer...you're done! I love Carta Bella's Traditions Collection - a beautiful but not your usual color palette used for the holiday season.

First I stamped my sentiments and images before cut/emboss with Christmas Vintage Labels Four die to create my centerpiece of my card front. With white cardstock, I cut/embossed S5-166 Ornate Squares die to create another layer behind the stamped die cut.

Add some bling and it's ready to be sent! Here's a second look...

JustRite: JULY 2013 Release - Ornament Window Card

One of my favorite cards I made for JustRite® Papercraft's July 2013 Release is from the Vintage Christmas Ornaments Stamp set using Spellbinders® newest holiday die template, S4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornament!

7月の新しいスタンプセット(Vintage Christmas Ornaments)の紹介です。スペルバインダーズが最近紹介したS4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornamentダイを使い、ウィンドカードを作りました。簡単に作れますよ～！

To create this card, I stamped the ornament image five times and cut/embossed over it with S4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornament dies. Fold in half each of the die cuts and adhered all side by side until it became one with each side open to adhere on the card inside...make sure that it fits in the window opening.

The window was created in a shape of the S4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornament die template. I cut through two layers (bottom is A2 Matting Basics A die cut and A2 Floral Ribbon Threader). Then adhered the card front to the card base and continued to cut.

For the card front, I nested two different sizes of S4-401 2013 Heirloom Ornament dies to create a frame around the window opening. To add extra accent, I nested Standard Circles LG and SM in blue paper, trimmed the top and placed blue rhinestone around the shape.

Here's another look at the card...

JustRite: JULY 2013 Release - Noel Card

Today I am sharing Heritage Christmas Ornaments set from JustRite® PaperCraft's JULY 2013 Release. I created a 5 x 6⅛" card to mimick the silhouette of Spellbinders® S5-116 2012 Heirloom Ornaments set.

今月JustRite Papercraftの新スタンプセットの紹介です。 テーマは、クリスマ～！今日はOrnamentの形でカードを作りました。夏なのにクリスマスカードを作る気分ではなっかたけど、クリスマスの歌を歌いながら、頑張りました～！（笑）

I created a lot of layers on this card. Love how I can anchor the card with a black border by nesting two different sizes from the Card Creator series - S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A set. I framed the largest ornament die with S4-356 Floral Ovals die cut and dotted the two ornament shapes with Liquid Pearl.
