JustRite Friday Challenge "Vintage Masculine"

Good morning bloggers, welcome to another JustRite Friday Challenge.  Our challenge for this week was to  create a Vintage Masculine card, or project.  Chick here to find out all of the details. 

For today's card I used JustRite's Vintage Travel, Cozy Plaid, and Going Places Vintage Labels images with Spellbinders die templates to create the foil Sprockets. For me, this card was way outside my comfort zone, so I asked DH if he would give some input.  I pulled supplies from my stach that fit the masculine theme so he could see what I had, and we dug in.    Even though there's no bows, ribbon or lace  I think this is one of my favorite projects because, it's a project we created together.

That's it for me today, be sure and visit JustRite's blog, and the rest of the designers for more inspiration and information.  Come join us if you can.

I Will Never...

Hi again,  I love the Prima pearls on today's project, so much so I designed this card to match them.  In the close up pictures below you will notice the little flowers match the color of the background image called Chevron from JustRite Papercraft.  I had all kinds of products ready to put on this card, but as it started coming together, I thought less was best. 

That's it for me today, I'm off to finish up a couple more projects.  Remember you can click on the picture to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below.

JustRite Friday Challenge "Anything but Square"

Good morning bloggers, welcome to another JustRite Friday Challenge (JR-073).  The Challenge for this week is to create a card or project in any shape but square. Click HERE to find out all of the details.

For today's card I used JustRite's Anchors Away stamp set, and several Spellbinders die templates to create my take on a ship steering wheel/port hole LOL!. With Spellbinders die templates, I cut/embossed scrap pieces of white and blue cardstock, and applied gold around all the edges, then smeared it for an antique look.  For the steering wheel, I used 2011 Snowflake Pendants die template to cut/emboss brown cardstock, and added more gold. I cut gold foil, embossed it with  M-Bossabilities, used a brown Copic Marker making sure to cover the foil completly (be sure you get in all the detailed areas), then with a cotton ball and Copic Various ink, I rubbed some of the brown off so the detail shows up.  And last, I added brads.

That's it for me today, be sure and visit JustRite's blog for more inspiration and information.  Come join us if you can. 

 

Supplies used: 

Stamps: Anchors Away - JustRite Papercraft.

Stamp Pads: Chipped Sapphire, Vintage Photo Distress Ink - eclectic Paperie.

JustRite Papercraft May Release - Day 1

Good morning blogging friends! Today is day one of JustRite Papercraft May Release, and I have a fun altered box to share with you, using new images called Anchors Away, and Vintage Travel Background Stamps.

Here's my step-by-step:

Apply a thin wash of white paint to box (1 part paint, 3 parts water), you still want the wood grain to show through.  Set aside, and let dry.

I applied Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink to my stamp, stamped on a scratch piece of paper, then on my cardstock for a much lighter image, three times - once for the top, once for the sides (cut in half), and once for the front and back (cut to fit).  

With Copic Markers, and an airbrushing system (before cutting,) shade in the background image.

Cut images to fit box, and glue in place, let dry.

Stamp the rest of the images (Anchor, buttons, boat etc) with Chipped Sapphire.  I cut the smaller images out with scissors, and the larger ones were cut/embossed with the Grand Calibur and JustRite's Nested Oval Medallion Label Die, then add foam tape to each piece.

I air brushed the Twisted Cord with Copic Markers, then started with one end in the center of a 1" Gluber, and coiled it up leaving a long peace to arrange on the box top.  When I liked the way it looked, I glued it in place.

Add all the remaining images including the Spinners, and Sprocket Gears.

That's it for me today, be sure and visit the designers listed below for more inspiration.

Pink & Black Box

Hi there, I love today's little project, but I love pink & black together.  Remember the little pink flower I made recently in a video tutorial here?  I couldn't let the little flower go to waste, so I made this little box.  With Spellbinders Square Bracket Edge Box die template, cute/emboss black cardstock for the top, and white for the bottom.  On the white cardstock I stamped JustRite's Lattice Background Stamp , and sponged the edges with Spun Sugar Distress ink.  I used Becca's bow maker to make the double bow, and tied a knot with the Vintage Netting for some filler, then  added a pretty decorative stickpin.

Red Roses for Mother's Day.

Hello again bloggers, today I have another Mother's Day card to share with you.  I've never colored red roses before, but today I thought red roses would be perfect for this card.  All I did was cut/emboss Spellbinders die templates, added foam tape between each layer, colored the image, cut it out completely, and attached it with more foam tape. I LOVE the color of the Seam Binding, although in this picture it's a little darker than in real life...  Add your decorative stickpin/pearl, and you're done.

Congratulations - Layout

Hello everybody.  Today I have a quick post to share with you of my new Great Granddaughter that will be placed in a frame.  I wanted this layout to be simple, and focus on the colors in the picture.  On white cardstock, I stamped JustRite's Elegant Fronds Background Stamp with black ink, then cut it in half to create a long layer under the picture, then added some red underneath.  The flowers were made with Spellbinders Standard Circles SM (various sizes), then sprayed with Tattered Angels Chalkboard Spray, then added some Stickles around the edges of two flowers.  With Copic markers I colored the pearls, and placed them along side the flowers. Last I stamped Congratulations, and the image in the bottom right hand corner using JustRite's Vintage Rose Medallions stamp Set. 

My kids are here, so that's it for me today.  Thanks for visiting.

Linda ❤❤

Pink Crepe Paper Flower Video

Hello there blog friends.  Today I have a flower tutorial/video showing you how I made this sweet crepe paper flower.  First, I want to apologize for the video quality...  I recorded in HD, and it looks great on my computer, but when I watched it on YouTube, not so good :(   My original video was over 35 minutes long, so I had to take a lot out.

For my card today, I used JustRite's Scrolled Vine background stamp, stamped on white cardstock with VersaMark ink, then heat set white embossing powder.  With a small paint brush, water and Tattered Rose Distress Ink, I lightly painted in areas of the background image.  Fold white cardstock in half, and place Spellbinders Reverse Wonky Rectangle die template so the corners of the die are placed over the fold on the cardstock, then cut/emboss.  Now, cut/emboss pink cardstock using the same die set as before, only the next size down in the set.  Layer all cardstock with foam tape, but before attaching the stamped layer (top layer), add your ribbon then attach.  With your crepe paper, cut your flower and leaves.
