Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s OCT 2013 ReleaseSunflowers Vintage Five Cling Stamps using JustRite exclusive NEW Vintage Labels Five Dies to create a card. SO EXCITED!!


今日からJustRite10月のリリースを紹介します。素敵なひまわりのスタンプセットです~!。いつも使ってるCardstockを変わって、キャンべスの上にスタンプしました。新しいダイセットも紹介します~!JustRiteのVintage Labels Five DiesセットのTagダイを使い、Miss Youスタンプしました。後は、Excitingなお知らせです~!JustRiteは、新しいホームページを作りました (justritepapercraft.com)。是非、Bookmarkして下さいね。


I always wanted to stamp on canvas so my friends at IMAGINE Craft®/TSUKINEKO® recommended Memento Lux™ ink - one of their newest products. I heat set my image on the canvas to make it last even longer :)


For the card front, I used several layers of Spellbinders® die templates. I love the versatility of these shapes:


Next I stamped a sentiment from Sunflowers Vintage Labels Five Cling Stamps and cut/embossed over it with the tag die in Vintage Labels Five Dies. I threaded the die cut and placed rhinestones for the finishing touch!


Here's another look at the finished 5 x 7" card.

JustRite Papercraft: Baking Antique Tags One Clear Stamps (SEP 2013)

Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s September 2013 ReleaseBaking Antique Tags One Clear Stamps set, using its coordinating die set, Antique Tags One, to decorate the front of this glass jar.



今日は JustRite Papercraft 9月の スタンプ リリースの最終日です。 今回はちょっと 違う作品を作りました。 私が選んだBaking Antique Tags One Clear Stampsセット と マッチング ダイセットのAntique Tags One & スペルバインダーズのダイを使い、グラスびんの飾りを作りました。


I stamped the words with a 12 x 2" strip of pattterned paper from FarmHouse Paper Company's Country Kitchen and edged it the same ink color for a finished look. The burlap material was cut just wide enough for it peek over the stamped paper.


Using patterned paper from the same collection, I stamped the jar and "Spice of Life" together and fussy cut the shape out as the focal point to my project.


I wanted to make a tag and Baking Antique Tags One Clear Stamps set had the perfect image for it and the perfect die too (Antique Tags One)! LOVE!! The sentiment was positioned so that I can display the tag vertically :)


These are the elements I used for the front of my glass jar; fussy cut jar shape, Antique Tags One (tag), S5-107 Lattice Motifs (base) and S5-204 Lace Hearts (accents as well...accents! lol!).
Just assemble as shown in the last image below.

JustRite Papercraft: Autumn Vintage Labels Three Clear Stamps (Sept 2013)

Today, I am introducing JustRite® PaperCraft’s September 2013 Release – Autumn Vintage Labels Three Clear Stamp set using JustRite custom dies, Lacey Tiers Dies and Vintage Labels Three Dies. For the shaped card base, I used Spellbinders® Grand Nestabilities® LF-018 Grand Decorative Labels One die template.




 

今日から JustRite Papercraft 9月の スタンプ リリースをスタートします~! テーマは、秋。 Autumn Vintage Labels Three Clear Stamp セット と マッチング ダイセットの Vintage Labels Three Dies を使い、 スペルバインダーズのLF-018 Grand Decorative Labels Oneダイセットでカードのベース(カードの形)を作りました。


Using Lacey Tiers Dies set, I was able to cut/emboss all these pieces below to achieve a fabulous card front. Second from the left, I flip the circle die cut so that you can see clearly on how this die cuts. Third from left is the inset pattern the circle shaped die will cut. AND I used all of the pieces there :) No waste!


I used two LF-018 Grand Decorative Labels One die cuts of the same size, scored ¾" from the top, applied glue in the scored area and put the shapes together as one to form a shaped card. Assemble as shown, tie a ribbon, place a button on top and add bling in center and corners of the die cut to finish. Here's a second look...

A BUSY weekend with HAPPY news!

This weekend was ONE HECK OF A WEEKEND full of creativity and inspiration!!! I was at Scrapbook Expo in Chicago, CREATE Chicago Mixed Media Retreat and asked to be on a SUPER COOL manufacturer's guest design team!!

Scrapbook Expo in Chicago (St. Charles IL)

Took place this past Friday and Saturday. It's always exciting to see scrapbook supplies but even more exciting are the friends I get to chat and hug! Pictured: IL Scrappers Online Group (bottom); Spellbinders' Mary Farneth (left corner) and Want2Scrap Owner Michele Parrish (right corner) = LOVE THEM ALL :)


ScrapMart has always been a part of this venue - this time they brought Button Farm (they offered classes!!) and FarmHouse Paper Company = LOVE~!!


I created a card with FarmHouse Paper Company's Country Kitchen Collection, using JustRite's Large Elegant Sentiments set (August 2013 Release) and Spellbinders latest Cut•Fold•Tuck die release, S5-206 Facination. Love these die templates and they are SO EASY to do...warning: they are addicting to make once you make one!!

First you CUT - I nested the two die templates together (one is the inset die and the other is the border/outlining die)...


Then you FOLD - all the cuts you see, you will need to fold them so that you can tuck them in better...


Lastly you TUCK - all the folded pieces are tucked into the opposite openings and it goes around until all are done. I repeated the process with the smallest one in the set, die #1.


After cut/embossing LF-126 Grand Squares die #1 and #2 with patterned paper from Country Kitchen Collection, I assembled as shown below. I stamped Large Sentiment set and cut/embossed with Fancy Framed Tags Two die (retired). Tied a bow and added bling to the card front to finish.


Project Supplies:
JustRite Papercraft Stamps – Large Elegant Sentiments
Spellbinders® Creative Arts - Fancy Framed Tags Two die (retired), S5-206 Facination. and LF-126 Grand Squares
Inks – IMAGINE Craft®/TSUKINEKO® (Memento - Rich Cocoa)
Cardstock and Card Base - Core'dinations ColorCore Cardstock®/Tim Holtz Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection and Core'dinations/David Tutera™ for Darice Celebrate Cardmaking System
Patterned Papers - FarmHouse Paper Company (Country Kitchen Collection, Secret Recipe Patterned Paper)
Bling - Want2Scrap©

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)!

Thanks for stopping by!
