Hazel and Ruby: Gone Typo Celebrate Today Birthday Card

Hello! I created a birthday card with Hazel & Ruby's Gone Typo Collection. A sweet friend in the industry is celebrating a birthday today - Happy Birthday, Ken :) This collection is versatile that you can make a masculine themed project too!

With a combination of die templates, I created a wonderful layer of JustRite® Papercrafts' Vintage Labels Four and Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Two and Marvelous Squares dies. Once I cut/embossed them with Wanderlust Patterned Paper (both sides) and white cardstock, I inked the edges of the patterned papers to make them stand out a little...using both direct ink to paper technique and some cotton tips.

I stamped my image/sentiment from Celebrate Today Vintage Labels Four Clear Stamps set on white cardstock and then cut/embossed Vintage Labels Four die over the it. To color, I used Teal and Blue Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils by using a water brush and my fingers to blend the Light Yellow PITT Pastel Pencil area...all wonderful products from Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft®!

Then I layered all with 3D Foam Squares to give the layers dimension and placed it on top of the card panel that was handcut with Just Sayin' Patterned Paper that was also edged with ink. This card base came from Hazel & Ruby's A6 Card Pad line...so convenient to use and great designs! Each collection has a card pad :)

Here is a second look...

Michaels favorite lifestyle bloggers and Spellbinders® Action Team members will be at various location in the U.S. So come join in on the FUN~!

For my friends that live near the Michaels Store in Schaumburg IL, please join me as I will show off my Pinterest project, using Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine with our die templates and our M-Bossabilities™ folders! Here are two of my projects I will be bringing!

With one fabulous die template, S5-111 Angle Approach Cut•Fold•Tuck set, you can layer/stack your die cuts and add a pearl in the center for a quick card. This one took less than 10 minutes!!

The shaped card was created with S4-347 Labels Twenty-Three (retired). Make sure to die-cut two pieces, edge with ink and score 1/2" from the top. Apply wet adhesive in the scored area and match up the two die cuts together. Cut, Emboss and Stencil S4-328 Foliage die cut for beautiful details. Roll S4-351 Spiral Blossom One with a quilling tool. Assemble all to create this wonderful shaped card.

If you have questions about our products, this will be a good opportunity to ask! I will be by the Spellbinders display demonstrating how Spellbinders products work, along with tips and techniques to show you how versatile your Spellbinders die templates are!

See you there!!

Today, I am introducing JustRite’s November 2013 Release – Sweet Hearts Clear Stamps designed by the talented Samantha Walker using Spellbinders® S5-204 Lace Hearts dies also designed by Samantha to create a card. On a personal note: this card is perfect for wishing my hubby a happy wedding anniversary - 21 years! It was yesterday but the sentiment on this card expresses how I feel about my hubster!! OK...back to our card! LOL!!

今日は JustRite 11月のリリースの最終日です。私は、Samantha Walkerさんの デザインが好きで、彼女とJustRiteのデザインコラボで、とても幸せな気分です! (笑) ハートフルなカードを作りました～！今朝のニューズです：今日から１１月２４日まで、JustRiteのHP Grand Opening Saleを行います～！オーダーの合計 (輸送別) を２５％引きます！Code: RESET　是非 使ってくださいね。

Using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Card Creator Series, I cut/embossed S6-001 5 x 7 Matting Basics A and 5 x 7 Matting Basics B die templates with patterned paper (Red - Authentique Paper and Black - Carta Bella).

Then I cut/embossed S6-004 Detailed Scallops die with white cardstock.

I used only the embossing sandwich S5-204 Lace Hearts Heart 4 die with the red die cut and sanded to highlight the design.

With the Sweet Hearts Clear Stamps set, I stamped the heart first and then later the sentiment (couldn't make up my mind! lol!!).

Next I added two ribbons, tied one in a knot and added two heart stick pins. Sequins were adhered on the card panel.

Lastly, the embellished card panel was placed on a 5 x 7" white card base and it's ready to be delivered! Another look...

JustRite: Coffee & Friends Background Cling Stamp

今日は、４日目のJustRite 11月リリースの紹介です。アメリカ的な　イメージのバックグランドスタンプです～！Faber-Castellの色鉛筆で色をつけました。カードベースにSpellbindersのエンボスフォルダを使い、エンボスのDesignをつけました。

I used a card base from Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock®/David Tutera™ for Darice Celebrate Cardmaking System and embossed with Spellbinderse M-Bossabilities EL-015 Bricks and Bark Folder. To highlight the embossing even more, I dauber sponged the Rich Cocoa ink. TIP: lightly mist the card base with water to loosen the paper fibers for a deeper emboss :)

I wanted to add a little more color to the card so I cut/embossed S6-002 5 x 7 Matting Basics B with patterned paper and for a perfect layering piece. Tie a burlap ribbon for another dimension!

Using a combination of ART GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils and PITT Pastel Pencils, I colored the image in a soft and warm tones.

Assemble and it's ready to go! Here's a second look...

Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s November 2013 Release – Fashion Vintage Labels Six Cling Stamps using Spellbinders® S6-005 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four to create a beautiful shaped card base.

11月の三日目の新しいスタンプセット(Fashion Vintage Labels Six Cling Stamps)の紹介です。今日はヴィンテージのテーマで、とても素敵なセットと思います。Shaped Cardを作りました。

These are the steps I took to create a shaped card that won't flatten or have a straight edge at the top. This is my favorite way of creating these wonderful cards!
