JustRite: Remember When Background Cling Stamp - Dear Friend

Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s December 2013 Release – Remember When Background Cling Stamp and Call Me Soon Clear Stamps set using Spellbinders® M-Bossabilities™ EL-027 Numbers and Letters Folder, S4-399 Charmed I'm Sure die and Media Mixáge™ Squares One bezel to create a card.

12月の二日目の新しいスタンプセット(Remember When Background Cling Stamp and Call Me Soon Clear Stamps)の紹介です。男性向けとか、ヴィンテージ的なデザインでカードを作りました。便利なセットと思います。

Emboss the card base with Numbers and Letters Folder - love the design and the texture! Perfect for the theme, don't you think? LOL!

Using white cardstock I stamped Remember When Background Cling Stamp and trimmed the excess. Using two layers of All Wrapped Up patterned paper, I distressed all by using the Sand-It Gadget and scissor blade. Lastly I sprayed Coffee Glimmer Mist on the card panel.

Next, I stacked two 3D Foam Squares into the Squares One bezel - perfect size and height. Then I pushed  the star nailhead hard into the foam square (maybe tapping with a hammer might do a better job - lol!).

Cut/emboss Charmed I'm Sure tag and stamp sentiment from Call Me Soon Clear Stamps. Distress the same way as above and add watch parts as a finishing touch. Here's another look...

Faber Castell: Spending Time Together

I thought I would try something different...out of my box and use canvas with my Faber-Castell® Gelatos® Colors Gift Set. This is what I came up with by using a simple letterpress technique...

Faber-Castellのジェラトスを使ってキャンバスにLetterpress techniqueをしました。 思ったより簡単です。是非試して下さい。

I used Faber-Castell's Chocolate Gelatos' flat tip to cover a portion of Spellbinders® M-Bossabilities™ Regal Folder (raised side of the design). After I put it through my Grand Calibur® machine, this was the result...

I noticed that I still had some color on my folder so I misted lightly with water and did another pass through (second generation).

The letterpress on this one was a little darker (I'll be using this on another project)...

Next I wanted to stamp my sentiment onto the canvas so I used the same color Gelatos and misted lightly with water. I tried a couple of times to get the desired look. Then die cut over it for perfect placement.

Spellbinders introduced a new Grand Calibur accessory at the summer trade show which helps cut through their most intricate die templates. So I gave a try on the canvas - can we say CUTS LIKE BUTTER?! Highly recommend this Junior Metal Shim.

Here are all the pieces I used for the card front. Loving the Thankful Collection from Authentique Paper (last year's release)!

I adhered these pieces with ScraPerfect's The Best Glue Ever (wet adhesive) and then I put these two sets together with SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L 3D Foam Squares - they work on fabric too!

The first layer was cut/embossed with Spellbinders Card Creator series, A2 Matting Basics A set and a few embellishments for a simple look. Then assembled the rest as shown in the finished card.

Here's another look...

Project Supplies:
JustRite Papercraft Stamps – Ornate Happiness Squares set
JustRite Custom Dies - Vintage Labels Three
Spellbinders Creative Arts - S4-318 Fleur de Lis Squares, S5-131 A-2 Matting Basics A, EL-002 Regal and GC-016 Junior Metal Shim
Canvas - Canvas Corp.
Coloring - Faber-Castell (Gelatos Colors Gift Set)
Card Base - Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock®/David Tutera™ for Darice Celebrate Cardmaking System
Patterned Papers - Authentique Paper (Thankful Collection)
Pins: Maya Road and Making Memories
Button: Maya Road
Adhesives - ScraPerfect (Best Glue Ever) and SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L® (3D Foam Squares)
Other: Twine

Hope you try these Faber-Castell Gelatos for your next project. You can purchase them in different sets or the whole thing (COUGHlike meCOUGH)!

And since you are here, I put together another REAL QUICK card inspired by Karen Walker who posted one on Scrap-Mart 2011 Holiday Blog Hop Day 4 (yesterday!) - her last card.

Joy by Margie Higuchi
Supplies Chalkstock, Notecard, Cord, Canvas Mini Star, Cord: Canvas Corp; Sticker: October Afternoon (Holiday Style Collection); Die: Spellbinders™ Paper Arts (S4-287 Fanciful Holiday); Pearl: Prima; Adhesive: ScraPerfect (The Best Glue Ever); Other: Foam

These are the supplies I gathered to put together my card. I wrapped Canvas Corp red cord around the bottom half of the notecard and secured it by double knotting it.

Next, I placed the canvas mini star using ScraPerfect The Best Glue Ever because it is...the best, that is! It adheres to many surfaces and you will see below what other surfaces I used it on.

I cut and embossed the S4-287 Fanciful Holiday deer with chalkstock in my Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Die Cutting Machine - so beautiful! Then I added a red pearl to its nose = PERFECT!

Taking out the Best Glue Ever, I placed two layers of scrap foam from my stash in different areas of the die cut. I realized AFTER taking the picture one piece of foam decided to join another party...it was fixed! LOL!

After placing the die cut on the canvas star, I added October Afternoon's JOY sticker and it's ready for mailing!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great Friday!!

Here is another REAL QUICK ornament I created with Canvas Corp's yummy products - LOVE their canvas minis! Add Spellbinders S5-055 Layered Poinsettia and you're set to go - just 12 minutes on this because I had to wash my die templates! LOL!! Don't forget with Spellbinders Die Templates you can CUT, EMBOSS and STENCIL!!! With this project, the STENCIL part is important - makes the flowers stand out and you can only do that with Spellbinders Paper Arts!

Stenciling is KEY = Beautiful Results!!
Tip: I left the entire paper in throughout the cut/emboss/stencil process. This will keep the stenciling alittle less messy on my work surface.

Jolly Ornament by Margie Higuchi
Supplies Cardstock: WorldWin Papers; Patterned Paper, Canvas Mini, Cord and Mini Clothes Pins: Canvas Corp; Chalk Ink: Clearsnap; Pearls: Prima; Dies: Spellbinders Paper Arts (S5-055 Layered Poinsettia); Adhesive: ScraPerfect (The Best Glue Ever); Other: Christmas Tree (lol!)

What do you think? This can also be a gift tag or maybe added to a card front...many ideas! In a pinch for an ornament, give this a try :0)

And since you're here, I thought I put a REAL QUICK tag...ornament together - all made out of Canvas Corp. Took only 10 minutes :0)

Taking advantage of the patterns in the papers, I fussy cut the images I wanted. Then I realized I didn't have any more foam tape so I cut pieces from leftover foam in my scrap pile. True to its name, I used ScraPerfect The Best Glue Ever to adhere two pieces of foam together to create dimension to the cap and boots. Done...

Santa Claus Tag by Margie Higuchi
Supplies Chalkstock: Canvas Corp (Tags & Ties Corner Chalkstock); Patterned Papers: Canvas Corp (Santa Suits on Kraft & Words on White paper); Adhesive: ScarPerfect (The Best Glue Ever); Other: Foam

Since the tag is chalkstock, you can write in chalk "To" and "From" on the back to make it a gift tag...maybe for your teacher?! LOVE IT!!
