Five Days of Christmas Inspiration


Good morning everyone.  Welcome to the final day of the JustRite/Petaloo blog hop.  I hope you've been enjoying the week long inspirational blog hop.  I know I have enjoyed seeing the amazing projects made - the combination of JustRite stamps and Petaloo flowers are perfect together.

My card base was made using Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles.  The center ornament was made using JustRite Merry and Bright and Deck The Halls (sentiment) and diecut using Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornaments.

The beautiful flowers are from Petaloo - the one in the upper righthand corner is Assorted Red Blossoms, the one in the lower lefthand corner is Mini Poinsettias.  The cute little stick pins are also available at Petaloo.

My fellow JustRite design team members Kathy Jones and Darsie Bruno also have Christmas cards today using JustRite stamps and Petaloo flowers - be sure to stop over and check them out.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Have a great day!!

Amazing Paper Graces November Kit

Good morning.  Welcome to a peak at the November kit club from Becca Feeken.  To get information on how to sign up for the great monthy kits, click here.  This month's dies and stamps are GORGEOUS!!  When I first got these I immediately thought they would be perfect to use on my daughter's wedding photos.
My color scheme matches the wedding color scheme.  I used the Amazing Paper Graces "Filigree Corner" dies diecut with green cardstock.  The photo mat was created using Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One.

The 2 sentiments are included in the "A New Day" stamp set which is part of the Amazing Paper Graces November Kit.  These stamps include months, years, and beautiful sentiments.  I decided to bring the wedding color into the sentiments - to do this I stamped part of the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black and part of the sentiment with Memento Bahama Blue.  The sentiments are diecut using Spellbinders Labels Trio dies.

Here is a look at stamps and dies which are included in the Amazing Paper Graces November kit

JustRite October Release Day 3

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to the last day of the JustRite October Release.  Today there are 2 cling sets being showcased - Embroidered Background and Friends Antique Labels.
I began my card by using Memento markers and coloring directly onto the Embroidered Background stamp and then stamping onto white cardstock.  This method gives much more dimension to the background stamp.  For the next layer I stamped the Embroidered Background stamp with only Memento London Fog.

 The sentiment is from the Friends Antique Labels set, also doing the direct ink stamping method and diecut using JustRite Custom Antique Tags One.  The border on my card is from the Classic Sentiment Edges One.

Here is a look at both of these new cling sets

JustRite October Release Day 2

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to day 2 of the JustRite October release.  Today's stamp set is a Christmas cling set called "Holiday Cheer Ornaments" and is compatible with Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornaments and 2011 Heirloom Ornaments.  This combination makes cardmaking so much easier!
For the top portion of my card I used the JustRite Ticking Stripe Background stamp.  To get the multi colors I used Memento markers and colored directly onto the stamp then stamped onto the cardstock.   I really like the appearance of the multi-colors.

The card base was stamped using JustRite Shabby Music Background stamp using Memento Tuxedo Black around the outer edge and Memento London Fog for the music portion.

The ornament and sentiment is included in the October release set called "Holiday Cheer Ornaments" .  I stamped it with Versamark, applied silver embossing powder and heat embossed it.  Next I diecut the outside edge of the ornament with Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornaments and used the JustRite Custom Antique Tags One to diecut the inside window of the ornament.  The sentiment was diecut using Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments.

JustRite October Release Day 1

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to Day 1 of the JustRite October Release.  Today's release sets are called "Classic Sentiment Edges One" and "Classic Embroidered Edges Two".  Both of these sets are really gorgeous border stamps that come as clear.
For my card base I used my Scor-Pal to create a faux lattice design and then added silver Stickles at each meeting point. 

I used the Classic Sentiment Edges One stamp across the center of my card base and diecut it using Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities.  Did you notice that this border stamp set has words as well as design elements - how cool is that!!

The sentiment "Congratulations" is from the "Large Fancy Sentiments" set, stamped onto a white piece of cardstock.  Next I used just 1 portion of the "Classic Embroidered Edges Two"  to stamp on either side of the sentiment.  Remember that border stamps don't need to be used just for borders, portions of them make really nice design elements.

Here is a look at both border stamp sets
Here are the other JustRite designers that also have some great projects today using these awesome new border stamps.
