I have another card with new JustRite Stampers images to show you. Since I wanted to show off the new Stitched Ribbon Background. I kept the card pretty simple. The background was stamped in Ladybug Memento Ink on a 3 5/8″ x 4 1/2″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. Part of the background was colored with Copic Marker Y17.

The background was stitched to a 1/4″ bigger piece of black cardstock and May Arts White Organdy Ribbon was tied around it. The layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock. The bottom edge of the card base was cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

A sentiment from the newly released Just Keep Calm Clear Stamp set was stamped on a piece of Solar White cardstock withJet Black Archival ink and cut and embossed with a Nested Medallion Label die. Part of a Silver Finesse Rhinestone swirl was colored with Copic Marker Y17 and adhered underneath the label. The sentiment label was adhered over the ribbon and a Prima Flower was adhered to the lower left of the label. Part of a Black Finesse Rhinestone Swirl adhered to the upper right hand side finishes of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend.

Jan 142012

Wednesday’s tutorial on Splitcoaststampers was written by the wonderful Holly McMillen. She showed us how to create a Frosted Window look. For my video sample I chose the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamp set called Poppies & Greetings. The image was stamped twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, once on Neenah Solar White cardstock, once on Vellum paper.  Both were colored with Copic Markers( cardstock: Poppies: R08, R27, R39   Leaves: G21, G24, G28   Poppies Center: C7, C10   Sky: B0000, B000  Vellum: R05, G21, C5). The vellum image was adhered over the cardstock with dimensionals.

A 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip of MME Lost & Found Union Square Patterned Paper were adhered to a 4 1/4″ square of the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and a window was cut into the center with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. The image was adhered behind the window.

A frame was cut with the largest Tear Drop Circle and a Standard Circle Nestabilities die out of black cardstock. The frame was adhered around the window and Baby Bling Rhinestones were added to the frame. Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl were adhered to the upper right and lower left corner of the layers. A bow was tied out of White Organdy ribbon and adhered to the upper left hand corner.

A sentiment from Poppies & Greetings was stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink on a piece of Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Standard Circle die. The raised part was colored with Copic Marker B0000. The layers were adhered to the card base, Always Artichoke cardstock cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.

This morning I checked the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and I saw that they had a blog hop going on that everyone can join. I was looking for something to stamp and was itching to ink up the new Wryn – Grow A Little Love image.  I printed out the image on Neenah Classic White cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Label 18 Nestabilities die and colored it with  Copic Markers ( Skin: E000, E00, E01, BV00   Hair: Y26, E35, E37, E47   Dress: Y11, Y13, Y15, Y18, Y38   Shirt: YG21, YG23, YG17   Stockings: C0, C1, C3    Pot: BG000, BG01, BG02, C3    Hair: YR07, R08, R39   Background: R0000, R000, R00, R01   Ground: W3, W5, W7, W9). I added dots to the dress with Copic Marker 0 and added Stardust Stickles over the dots.

 

A 4″ wide strip of white cardstock was cut with a Lacey Eyelet Border dies and adhered under a 3″ x 4″ piece of Echo Parks Summer Days. The strips were stitched to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of paper from the same paper pack. Yellow Striped May Arts Ribbon was tied around the horizontal paper strip, a paper doily was adhered to the upper right corner and the image was adhered to the layers with dimensionals.

Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl were adhered to the upper left and lower right corner of the layers and everything was adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock, folded in half.

A sentiment from Whimsy’s Friendship ticket sentiments was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Classic Heart Nestabilities die. The embossed part was airbrushed  with the Copic markers YR07 and R29 and the sentiment was adhered under the bow.

Jan 122012

It’s day two of the sneak peeks for Flourishes’ January Release and I got to play along with the release sets! This next set is about creating a note or two for those friends that you truly care about — both near and far! The good news is, while these sentiments are from the heart, their messages are good not only for Valentine’s Day, but the whole year through!

Introducing…

This 4 by 3″ set — called Heartlines — is a perfect addition to any of Flourishes images to send some love this Valentine’s Day! Four artistically scripted sentiments perfect for friends and Valentines! This set even offers a darling row of hearts to add as a border, box or accent! Flourishes’ ever-so-talented design team has showed off this set in true creative form!

For my card I stamped a sentiment from Heartlines in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock that had been cut and embossed with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. The solid heart from Fanciful Flourishes was stamped over the sentiment with Spun Sugar Distress ink. The outline words were colored with Copic Markers (R32, R35, R37).

The circle was adhered to a slightly darker black cardstock circle. Both circles were adhered to a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock, cut and embossed with a big Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die. Everything was adhered to a piece of white cardstock cut and embossed with the Fair Isle Pendant die. Pink Baby Bling Rhinestones were adhered to the Fair Isle die cut and Stardust Stickles was added over the colored letters.

Two 4″ wide strips of MME Lost & Found 2 Blush paper were stitched over a 4″ x 4 1/2″ piece of the same paper pack after the two bottom corners were rounded. White Organdy Ribbon was tied around the strips before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half. The sentiment layers were adhered in the card center with dimensionals. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl to the upper right corner of the card base.

Sea Shell Bay

Jan 112012

Today is another blog hop for a new JustRite Stampers set called Sea Shell Bay. I love the seahorse image and had to ink it up as soon as I got it.

I stamped the image with Rich Cocoa Memento Ink on a piece of  Neenah Classic White cardstock. It was cut and embossed with a  Label 22 Nestabilities die and colored with Copic Markers ( Sea Horse: YR61, YR63, YR68   Background: BG70, 2/3rd BG72 custom marker, BG72    Stars and Rope: YR21, YR24  Eyelets: C1, C3, C5). The image was adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock, that had been hand cut into a slightly bigger layer. Stardust Stickles was added to the tiny bubbles on the image.

Pieces of Pink Paislee Nantucket Patterned paper were adhered into a big square and then cut and embossed with a  Grand Circle Nestabilities die. Ivory Crochet Lace was adhered over one of the paper seam and the edges of the circle were stitched. The circle was then adhered to the card base; Kraft cardstock cut and embossed with a Grand Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die.

The image was adhered to the card with dimensionals. Rhinestones from a  72 Count Rhinestone pack were added to the right hand side of it and part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl underneath. A bow was tied out of seam binding, topped with a Basic Grey button and adhered to the lower right of the image layer to finish it off.

The inside of the card is kept very simple. A white cardstock circle with a strip of Nantucket Paper. A sentiment was stamped over it in Rich Cocoa Memento ink and a shell was stamped behind it in second generation Vintage Photo ink.

Timeless Tuesday - Inspiration

Jan 102012

Today Timeless Tuesday hostess is Tammy. She challenged us to be inspired by this photo.

For my card I knew I wanted to use Pink and Orange as the main colors with a bit of grey from the planter. I started by stamping the heart from the soon to be released From the Heart stamp set in Embossing Ink on a piece of Echo Park Victoria Garden Patterned Paper. The heart was cut and embossed with a Classic Heart Nestabilities die and adhered to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with a Classic Scalloped Heart die.

Next I stamped the scroll image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Solar White cardstock. A sentiment was stamped inside the scroll before it was colored with Copic Markers (YR00, YR01, YR02, YR04) and cut out. The scroll was adhered to the center of the heart with dimensionals.

The card base is a piece of 4 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ white cardstock folded in half. The card front was embossed with the Brocade Embossing Folder and the bottom corners were rounded. The edges of a 1 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ strip of Victoria Gardens Paper were stitched before the paper was adhered to the left hand side of the card front. White organdy Ribbon was tied around the front and parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl were adhered to the upper right and lower left of the card base. The heart was adhered over the ribbon and a button was tied on over the bow with dimensionals.

Turquoise Medallion

Jan 092012

Today I get to share a sample with one of the CHA release stamps from JustRite Stampers with you. The set is called Warm and Cozy and it includes two beautiful medallions. I stamped the bigger image twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Neenah Solar White cardstock. One was cut and embossed with one of the new Nested Medallion Dies, the other with a Standard Circle Nestabilities dies. They images were colored with Copic Markers (YG00, YG01, YG03, BG11, BG13, BG15).

The circle layer was adhered over the Medallion with dimensionals. Baby Bling Rhinestones were added to both layers before they were adhered to a piece of Solar White cardstock cut with Cheery Lynn’s French Pastry Doily die.

A 3 15/16″ square of First Edition Patterned Paper was embossed with the Brocade Embossing folder and stitched to a 4 1/8″ square of black cardstock. Turquoise Organdy Ribbon was tied around the layer and the medallion layers were adhered above it. Everything was adhered to the card base; Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the smallest of the  Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities dies.

A sentiment from Warm and Cozy was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Solar White cardstock, cut and embossed with the smallest of the Petite Oval Nestabilities die. The embossed part of the layer was colored with Copic Markers YG00 and YG01. Part of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl was adhered to the upper right corner of the card to finish it off.

Crafty Blog Candy

Jan 082012

I am working on posts for next week and for submissions, so I have  no card or project to share with you today. Instead I thought I offer up a few Crafty Secrets Products that might work for Valentine’s projects.

This Blog Candy includes:

  • Classic Paper Pack
  • Vintage Postage Kit
  • Cherub Clear Art Stamp set

If you are interested in the blog candy please leave a comment under this post and I will draw a winner on Wednesday with help of random.org.

How about you tell me if you have a favorite kind of stamp or stamp company. I think for me it’s definitely outline stamps of flowers and people, so I can use my Copics. But then…I also love solid stamps, especially frames like JustRite Stampers or Waltzingmouse. They are perfect for fast cards.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs and smiles
