A Day in the Country-JustRite Challenge 42 Two Looks


This week's JustRite Friday Challenge #042 is a sketch, sponsored by Inchie Arts.   A Day in the Country is JustRite's new Cling set.  I thought this would be perfect as a fall card or perhaps that masculine birthday you need at times.  The new cling stamp just perfect.  Copic markers (to many to name) were used for the color. I used the Spellbinder squares  for my main cuts.   I decided to use the leaves from the set to make a border, mounted on brown by Bazzill and green by Paper Cuts.  The stripe is from Imaginisce: Dino-roar-Petrified Wood.  I added a little bling from AMuse to the main image.  Distress Ink Antique Linen was used in this project as well.  Not being happy with my leaf version of this card I also did it with a plain border.   I do hope you enjoy my very simple cards.

Groovy Snow Person

I really like this set of stamps from JustRite as you can see.  I plan to use it for several of my holiday cards.  This one was made with a little challenge from a friend to incorporate a doily into the card.  I did this by painting glitter glue on it which is hard to see in this picture.  The paper is from Graphic 45, the coloring is Copic of course and Spellbinders for the cuts.  I think the ribbon is by May Arts.  Hope you enjoy

Autumn Colors


JustRite Friday Challenge 040: Colors of Fall, Sponsored by Flower Soft!   The JustRite challenge this week is to use fall colors.  Well I used burgandy, orange and gold to create this card.   Using a Spellbinder 15 die I cut Bazzill gold and then  stamped the sentiment  from Natures Nested Sentiments with Memento Rich Cocoa.  The edges of this were distressed with Aged Mahogany.  Next I cut Bazzill gold and burgandy with a Spellbinder 16 die to make the framing.  This was mounted on paper from Graphic 45 and mounted on  burgandy card stock.  The ribbon was white from May Arts and colored using Distress Inks:  Aged Mahogany, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint randomly.  The inside(posted to the above right) was stamped on gold with another sentiment from the Natures Nested Sentiments.  This was cut with a Spellbinder oval and mounted on orange cut with a Spellbinder oval scallop.  The corn is from Autumn Harvest and  colored with Copic markers R29, R89, E07, E08, Y08, Y38, YR04, YR18 and distressed with aged mahogany.  Hope you enjoy.

Give Thanks

This week's JustRite Friday Challenge #039 is all about giving thanks and challenges you to make a Thanksgiving or thank you card or project!  I decided to make a simple Thank You card.  You always need these in your stash.  I used two sets from JustRite to complete the card:  Favorite Occasions Set and Baroque Nested Frames and Occasions.  I used both sides of the Imaginisce paper Go for Baroque.  A small piece was embossed with the Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy and then cut with Spellbinders Labels 15 to frame my image and sentiment.  Distress Ink Antique Linen was added as well.  The flower is from Bazzill and the tack from K& C Company.  Copic Markers were used to color my image.  Hope you enjoy

Be Jolly

Be Jolly is a stamp set from Our Craft Lounge and was used for this simple card.  I made this card for my LSS Fond Memories at the Creamery. (check their blog out at http://fondmemoriesatthecreamery.blogspot.com) Copic markers were used for the coloring followed by OCL Sparkly Fluff to give the impression of snow.  Bazzill card stock was used along with "Merry Christmas" paper from My Minds Eye.  A new Spellbinder mitten was used for the "Believe in magic".  A Martha Stewart punch "Modern Garland" finished off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

Trick or Treat

JustRite Friday Challenge #038, sponsored by Copic, is to make a fun Fall holiday 3D project!  This could be Halloween treats, Fall decorations, Thanksgiving table decorations, etc. using your JustRite stamps.  So I found a cute pattern for a purse bag on the internet (free)  (http://www.scribd.com/doc/21712554/Mini-Purse-Box) and decided to make a treat bag out of it.  The only Halloween stamp I have is from the JustRite Favorite Occasions Set so a pumpkin it would be.  I used Spellbinder circles to cut and emboss the stamped images.  Well my pumpkin with the help of my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge became a spider on my bag.  The paper is from The Girls Paperie and the ribbon from my stash (might be May Arts).  I then decided to add a small band using again paper from The Girls Paperie and just the pumpkin image from the JustRite Set around a piece of candy that will go into the bag.  I used the following Copic Markers to color the two images E35,  E41, E99, Y08,  YG95, YR04, YR07, YR65 and 110.  (I get a little carried away in my colors)  I used Distress Antique Linen on both images.  Hope you enjoy.

JustRite Friday Challenge #037








This week the JustRite Friday Challenge 037 is a sketch challenge.  I decided to use "tinsel and twig" from Girls Paperie for my paper with the solid from Bazzill.  The focus stamp is from the JustRite Christmas Nested Sentiments with a little pinecone colored with copics enhancement from the Holiday Cheer set.   Snowflake gems from Hero Arts were mounted on a strip that was cut with the Martha Stewart modern garland punch.   A small Hero Arts snowflake is mounted on the circle that was cut with Spellbinders.  The dotted border is the back side of the main card paper.  A red stickles  berry was added along with a little Star Dust stickles on the pinecone itself.  A glitter pen was used on the ribbon and a green ribbon was added from May Arts.  Hope you enjoy.

Joy this Christmas

Today's JustRite Friday Challenge #036 is to use this color combination plus you were to add an embellishment you have made.

Easel view

For this challenge I decided to make an easel card using the Justrite Christmas Nested Sentiments as the focal point.  This was stamped on ivory paper with Memento ink and then cut with a Spellbinder octagon die.  A Black frame was cut and mounted on the ivory paper.  The octagon was mounted on paper from Cosmo Cricket from their Mitten Weather Mini Deck.    The fleur was made  freehanded using Amuse pretty pearls black.  The flower was cut from the Cosmo Cricket paper and the ivory card stock with the large scallop dies from Spellbinder and crumbled.  The edges of the flower were distressed with Ranger Distress Black Soot and held together with an ivory pearl brad from American Crafts.  A clear button was mounted over a cute little snow lady colored with Copic markers from the JustRite Holiday Cheer set and placed on Cosmo Cricket paper to add a little festive touch to the card.  A Martha Stewart punch was used for the lattice on the base. Hope you enjoy.

Heartfelt Creations

I just had to share this card which was made using a design similar to one from Heartfelt Creations the maker of the stamps used.  This is a new company at my LSS Fond Memories and they are so much fun to use.  I made this card for Fond Memories.  A simple card using Copic markers, A Spellbinder oval and Paper Cut paper.  Three stamps were used (and I do not have their name) to finish the card. To finish off I used a little Distress Antique Linen and some Sparkly fluff from Our Craft Lounge.   Hope you enjoy.
