JustRite: May 2013 Release - Day 5

Before I forget, I wanted to let you know about JustRite® Papercraft Spring Fling Sale! going on NOW until this Sunday (May 12). That includes any floral themed sets in the new May 2013 Releases! WOOHOO~!

OK...on to Day Five of JustRite Papercraft's May 2013 Release, we are introducing Samantha Walker Designs of All Boy and Pattern Basics sets!

I used a little of both sets to create a fun CAS (Clean And Simple) scrapbook page. This little boy is now a high school senior....don't think he'll be thrilled to see this out in "public!" LOL!! BIG DIFFERENCE from yesterday's layout! Heehee~!

Samantha Walkerデザインの新しいスタンプセット(All Boy と Pattern Basics)の紹介です。シンプルなレイアウトを完成。長男の小さい時の写真です。お父さんとお馬さんごっこ。。。

I wanted to share how I colored the tag with my newly acquired Faber-Castell Gelatos Color Gift Set! Cover tag with Gesso and dry. Draw circles in different colors and sizes. Lightly mist the tag with water and blot with paper towel to make the pattern lighter...this took about three-four times, dry time in between. Using the Pattern Basics stars stamp, create the background as shown.

The other embellishment I wanted to cover was the Play Time star title...the top image I nested all the dies in the Stars Five set and cut/emboss. I used two different colors so you can see it better. To create the layered star, you just need to shift your second die cut (green) and it will look like the blue/green die cut. The bottom image is how I created my title in one color :)

Hope that some of you will use these techniques to create your own FABULOUS projects! Here's another look at the layout...

JustRite: May 2013 Release - Day 4

For today's JustRite® Papercraft May 2013 Release, we are introducing three stamp sets, all with a "journey" theme. I used two sets (Monogram Your Journey and The Journey Background Stamp) and a sneak peek of tomorrow's release, Pattern Basics set, to create my oldest son's scrapbook page, "A Young Man's Adventure".

今日は、５月新スタンプセット Explore Vintage Labels Four, Monogram Your Journey & The Journey Background Stampの紹介です。三つの中から、２つのセット を使って、レイアト完成しました。来月、長男が高校から卒業の予定です。　記念として、下記のレイアウトを作りました。

I wanted to make the photo look bigger so I triple matted it, used three different patterned papers for interest. All the edges were distressed using my paper edger.

Next, I determined where to place the matted photo...

The Pattern Basics set was perfect for an accent border. I wasn't sure which color to use so I tested the area behind the photo to determine which looked the best. Note that I used two patterns together to create an argyle border.

The title was from Authentique Paper's Strong Collection sticker sheet. I crossed out the "boy" and wrote "Young Man's" to fit the theme :) Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ 3D Square Foams were used to create dimension and then used ScraPerfect's Perfect Crafting Pouch to "de-stick" the sticker.

For the background stamp embellishment (shown on the lower right corner of the page), I did the following steps:

Stamped the image on cream cardstock.

Torn the edge close as possible to edge.

Crumple paper, inked and misted for desired coloring.

Stamped the image three times: white cardstock x 2 and craft foil once. Fussy cut the sentiment on cardstock and anchor on craft foil. Add twine. Assemble pieces and adhere to page.

LOVE how this turned out and one to add to his high school scrapbook album :)

PROJECT SUPPLIES:
JustRite Papercraft: Monogram Your Journey, The Journey Background Stamp and Pattern Basics
Patterned Papers and Sticker: Authentique Paper (Strong Collection)

JustRite: MAY 2013 Release Day 2!

For our second day, we are introducing Birthday Vintage Labels Four set, I thought I'd try the chalkboard technique and I LOVE how it turned out...could be a new addiction! LOL!!

5月二日目の新スタンプセットの紹介です。　Birthday Vintage Labels Fourセットは、誕生日のテイマーです～！初めてチョークボードのテクニックを挑戦してみました。やってみませんか？このテクニックの方法を以下の写真を参照してくださいね。

You really can't see but I also used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ 3D Foam Squares to pop up the sentiment image for an extra dimension and I used Faber-Castell® white gelato for a subtle edging.

Steps I took to create the chalkboard effect of my card front: with the anti-static pouch for stamping, I randomly swiped it across my black cardstock until I got the look I liked.

Next I nested the two images from the Birthday Vintage Labels Four set and stamped with VersaMark. I stamped two times, using two black cardstock. After covering with white embossing powder and heating with a heat tool, I left one to be cut/embossed with A2 Matting Basic B (the largest die) and one to be cut/embossed with Vintage Labels Four die.

I first cut my card front with A2 Matting Basic B then added the accent image from the same stamp set with embossing powder and heat tool. Using my white gelato, I edged both pieces and rubbed the color in with my finger. Add the Vintage Labels Four die cut on top with 3D Foam Squares.

To mat the chalkboard, I cut/embossed 5 x 7 Matting Basics B with red cardstock. What's a birthday without those banners?! So I cut/embossed two of the Buntings and Buttons bunting dies with patterned paper.

Then I adhered the red mat and the chalkboard panel, giving some room on top for the die cuts. Next I used two different adhesives for the bunting die cuts - Dodz™ for the bottom and small 3D Foam Squares on top.

To finish, I added red bling and buttons on top for accents! Here's another look...what do you think?

JustRite® Papercraft: Birthday Vintage Labels Four

JustRite: May 2013 Release Day 1!

I am excited about the May 2013 Release because JustRite® Papercraft added some "boy" themed sets - yeah, mom of boys (COUGHmeCOUGH)!! LOL!! But today, we are introducing the Irises Vintage Labels Four set which has a matching die set, Vintage Labels Four Dies.

When I first saw this design, a window card popped into my head! This is what I came up with for a Mother's Day card!

５月の新しいスタンプセット(Irises Vintage Labels Four)の紹介です。一日目は、Vintage Labels Fourダイを使い、母の日テイマーでウィンドウデーカードを作りました。Faber-Castellジェラトスを使ってIrisに色を付けました。簡単に作れますよ～！

For the card base, I embossed with Spellbinders™ M-Bossabilities™ EL-002 Regal Folder. This folder had a similar lattice design and goes well with the image. Then I cut a window using Vintage Labels Four Dies Small Oval die in the center.

The image was stamped three times on two different patterned papers and one white cardstock. I cut/embossed the stamped yellow patterned paper with Vintage Labels Four Die and cut the center out (yes, I cut into the Iris flower! LOL!) with the Small Oval die.

The stamped green patterned paper, I also cut/embossed with Vintage Labels Four Die and stamped "Mom" where it would peek out from the opening.

The image stamped on white cardstock, I fussy cut the Iris out and colored with Gelatos from Faber-Castell. Loved how it turned out :)

Lastly I assembled as shown in the final picture and it's ready to be given on Mother's Day!

JustRite: April 2013 Release - Day 3

I am so excited to share with you JustRite® Papercraft April Release DAY 3 with Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Four and Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp to create this box to hold any momentos of that special day!

今日はJustRite Papercraftの4月三日目の新スタンプセット（Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Four and Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp) の紹介です。Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Fourセットは、結婚式にいかがでしょうか？今回は、箱を作りました。

I found a box template online and used white cardstock that was stamped with Damask Wallpaper Background Stamp. The base was a pink patterned paper which I also used to stamp the Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Four image on.

After I cut/embossed Frame One die, I stenciled the inside with ink and applicator for a soft blend of color.

For the stamped image and sentiment, I stamped first and then cut/embossed over them with Vintage Labels Four die for the image and Labels Four die # 2 (the smallest size being #1) for the sentiment. Then I adhered blings and pearls for accents before layering all the die cuts on the box top.

Here's a second look at the final project...

JustRite: April 2013 Release - Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of JustRite® Papercraft April Release! We have a total of six sets to offer our stamping friends! Today's feature is Floral Thank You set and I created a 4 x 5" Floral Ovals shaped card to go with this wonderful set!

４月の新しいスタンプセット(Floral Ovals)の紹介です。一日目は、花のスタンプを使ってFloral Ovalsダイの形でカードを作りました。二枚のダイカットを使って、簡単に作れますよ～！是非、試して下さいね。

I used Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals die #4 (the smallest size is #1) and Lady Bug ink from TSUKINEKO/Imagine Craft to go with the Floral Thank You set = LOVE~!

To make the shaped card, I cut/emboss TWO Floral Ovals die cuts. Pick one as the back side of the card and score from the top about ¾" in. Place adheresive on the scored area, match the two die cuts together to form one piece and it's ready to be embellished.

These are the main components of the card. I stamped the flower image TWICE on white cardstock, fussy cut one for its blossom and then dimensionalized it with 3D Foam Squares. Cut the ovals for the stamped image and its mat with patterned paper using a combination of Standard Ovals LG die #7 and Grand Ovals die #2.

To finish, I stamped "Get Well" sentiment from the same set and cut/embossed with Vintage Label & Banner ribbon tail die. Adhered onto the card front and add red bling!
