The First JustRite Challenge of the Year

After a bit of a holiday break, JustRite has started back their challenges...fun, fun, fun, CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CHALLENGE.  Today I created a card for a friend of mine who recently lost her father.  One thing I'm horrible at, is actually remembering to give out my cards.  I know that's terrible but I generally forget them and have to stop by Hallmark.  One of my goals for this year is to actually share my work.  It's not doing me any good piling up in the house that's for sure. 

 

This card is not quite as layered as my usual work, but I do need to drop this one in the mail.  I gave it a little pop by layering the poppy flowers and foam taping them up.  Of course the button and bow have good bit of depth to them, but hopefully I can stuff them in the envelope, LOL.

Happy Birthday Dear Friend

A sweet friend of mine was having a birthday this week and when I went to my card stash, I realized ...I didn't have a good birthday card.  Really?  Of all the cards I do I really don't make birthday cards that much.  Honestly I think I do more sentiments that I have no idea who I would send them to or why? LOL.  Might be something I need to work on a bit.

I created this easel card using Spellbinders Dies, Justrite Stamps, Close to My Heart Stamps and of course some yummy Pion Paper.

Layered Card for Scrap-Mart

Did you know majority of this card is solid cardstock...there is just a bit of designer paper used around the base and one of the labels.  The rest is either embossed or stamped and colored, which really helped me achieve the look I was going for.  

All the stamps are from JustRite including the beautiful green and aqua fronds background that I colored in with markers.  I also finished the card off with a homemade charm of pearls. Would you expect anything else from me.  

Here is my complete list of products used and the links to where you can pick them all up at SCRAP-MART

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities EL-007, JustRite Elegant Fronds Background Stamp, JustRite Seashell Bay Labels 22,  Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two Die, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Markers, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads, Spellbinders Diamond Strips and Accents. 

This Card qualifies for the following challenges: 

JustRite Stampers : Use a Charm 

Many Thanks with JustRite and Simple Stories

I love to participate in JustRite Stamps Challenges...they always bring out some of my best cards.  Tonight I created this Thank You card using JustRite and Simple Stories Paper and followed JustRite current sketch challenge.

I really try on all of my project to have lots of small details that really make a work of art come together .  At first glance you might not notice everything but with a second look all the details start to pop.  On this card I've stitched , ink, embossed, layered, curled,  folded, tied, fussy cut, punched and of course pearled and I've probably left something off, LOL.

Love is Everywhere

Love is themed cards are everywhere right now...releases, challenges you name it.  This is a love card I created for the Shabby Tea Rooms current challenge and also for JustRite Stamps challenge.  Both go hand in hand so it was a perfect fit for both. 

I handmade the roses using McGill punches and tools.  They take a little while to make but they are so pretty when their done.

The stamp has been heat embossed along with the letters L-O-V-E and then glittered.  It's really fun when I start playing and added things to a card like this one.  Granted there is a lot going on but the finished result is special.  See you tomorrow with more creations. 

Hugs,

Love You Card

Love is in the air and you can tell with all the current challenges.  I created this card for 7 Kids College Fund using Red, White and Pink color combo. 

The charm on the top of the ribbon is from Epiphany...they really are so great.   I used various Spellbinders (Label 4, Parisian Accents and even the new Chateau Gate Die from Heartfelt)

The stamps are all from JustRite stamps and qualify for their current challenge...love.   Finally all the stamped images have been heat embossed and I've entered it in WOW's embossing challenge.

Hand Made Peony

This week at Just Rite Stampers the challenge is to incorporate handmade flowers into your project.  I'd gotten some new McGill punches that I couldn't wait to try out and this was the perfect challenge for me.  I took on the peony and though it took some time...Man was it worth it!!!! I love the finished flowers, just stunning.  The paper I used for this piece is the new Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden and I picked it up at Beary Scrap.  The sketch I used for this card is from Card Sketches.  I ended up giving this to my sister EE as we celebrated her birthday this weekend...I laughed when she asked if I actually won anything from the challenge did she get it...you have to understand I had just handed her a big bag of punches where she could make her own flowers...Silly girl!!!!

 I love the new Just Rite stamps...they are so detailed and they coordinate with Spellbinders so you know that wins my heart :)

See you soon and have a great week!!

Welcome Spring!

I'm so happy Spring is finally here.  This winter has seemed to go on forever, so I'm thrilled that I'm starting to see little flowers peeking their heads out.  This card is one I did inspired by the spring season.  The paper is from Echo Park and I love the color combo.  The stamps are from the new collection from Just Rite that coordinates with Spellbinders.. you know how I love Spellbinders.  The roses were created using Spellbinders and backing on fussy cut flowers from the base paper. 

I hope you have a great first week of Spring 2011.

JustRite Challenge Card

This week over at JustRite's Blog, they have a sketch challenge.  I really love their stamps but don't have any of their new ones...so I thought I would join in the fun of the challenge.  I got so tickled when I started to do their sketch

It was all rectangles...and as many just rite stamps that I have they are all circles.  Actually majority of them are Christmas one and baking ones...I mean like three to four of each.  What does that tell you about me?  I love Christmas and I love to eat, LOL. 

I love the way I addressed the sketch for only having circle stamps.  The paper is from Webster's Pages.  The keys/key hole is from Tim Holtz, foam tape for lots of layers and shadow boxing effect,  and of course the embossed sentiment is from JUSTRITE.  So how did I do considering the challenge and what I had to work with.
