JustRite Window Flower Garden

Hello Everyone!  Today I've been playing with a new die set by JustRite Papercraft called Flower Garden Dies!  There are so many options to play with so I decided to make a window flower garden!  Wouldn't it be nice to look out your window at some pretty flowers, I guess a paper flower garden will have to do for now!  :)

I've used a base of cream and layered with blue.  Next I've taken a piece of white and airbrushed it with Copic E97 and a brick wall stencil.  Next I found the window template at Silhouette and cut out the pieces I needed.  Then I had some fun with the Flower Garden Dies - using up a lot of my scraps in various colours - and constructed my window garden!  I airbrushed the window top and bottom in B32 and glued them in place and popped it up on foam tape.  I finished by adding a sentiment from Large Oval Celebration stamps to the bottom corner.

Paper - White, Cream, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Green, Purple

JustRite Sympathy

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm showing one of the stamps from JustRite's new Large Oval Sympathy Stamp set.  Sadly, it's one of those occasions that you have to have cards for and sometimes finding the right words can be difficult.  Large Oval Sympathy has 16 different sentiments to choose from to help bring comfort at such a sad time.  I really liked the sentiment I've used on today's card, because often there are no words, but your heart hurts for them and you want the recipient to know how much you care.

I've used a base of Soft Sky and layered with white cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and a piece of Maja Designs DP (also cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles).  Around this I've attached to pieces of green ribbon.  The sentiment from Large Oval Sympathy has been stamped in Gray Flannel and cut with Joy Oval Frame Dies, matted with Soft Sky cut with the largest of the die in the same set.  To accent I've added some flowers and cut the leaves of green with Open Leaf Vine Dies.  Finally I've added a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White to the top corner.

Create a JustRite Flower Garden

Hello Everyone!  Today I've done a little gardening.....stamping style!  JustRite Papercraft have brought out a new stamp set called Create a Flower Garden......and that's exactly what I've done!  Using many of the stamps in the set, I've created my own little, low maintenance flower garden and added a little fence for good measure!

I've used a base of So Saffron and layered with Pistachio Pudding cut with A2 Card Front Basics, Soft Sky cut with A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles and wrapped some grosgrain ribbon around it all.  I've cut another rectangle of white card using A2 Card Front Basics and then stamped the flowers and grasses from Create a Flower Garden in a variety of Memento inks.  I've added details with Copics (Y00, Y13, YR21, YG11, YG61, YG63, RV52, RV55) and Kirarina Wink Pens (Gold, Pink, Purple).  I've fenced my garden with a Woodgrain Fence Die and added a little greenery with a Grass Die.  To finish I've used the new Best Wishes Sentiment Die to add the sentiment across the fence.

I've also decorated the inside using the leftover piece of fence and grass and stamping another flower!

Stamps - Create a Flower Garden (JustRite)
Paper - White, So Saffron, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive

A quick note before I go - thank you so much to everyone for their sweet comments about my last card, the Jacaranda Trees.  I had no idea than many of you had never seen or heard of them before! Those of you who have (looking at you Gab) - also had a cool story to tell!  I'm just glad that it resonated with you all and that is what craft and art are all about!  :)

That's all from me today, thanks for popping by and hope you are inspired to stamp!

JustRite Jacarandas

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm playing with lots of new JustRite Papercraft goodies to make my card!  I really like this Multi-Step Seasonal Trees set - just imagine all the tree scenes you can create and as the title says, make it to suit any season at all!!  Here in Australia, very few trees actually change colour and lose their leaves - most are just green all year round!  I guess that is mostly because compared to my friends in the Northern Hemisphere, it's pretty warm all year round and not a flake of snow to be seen!

With that said, I've made the tree on my card into a Jacaranda!  Where I live these trees bloom twice a year, in May and October, lose all their leaves and leave only the purple flowers.  When the flowers die, the green leaves grow back.  They really are beautiful to see in full bloom and very soon my suburb will be full of them!  Here's a picture (not taken by me) for those of you who aren't familiar with them.

I've used a base of purple card and layered with cream, Baked Brown Sugar and some Graphic 45 DP.  Down one side is another piece of DP topped with purple ribbon.  I've taken a piece of white card and used Multi-Step Seasonal Trees to create my tree scene.  I've stamped the trunk in Rich Cocoa and the flowers in Lulu Lavender and Violet inks.  I've added the green grass and black bird using stamps from Multi-Step Seasonal Trees as well.  :)  I've sponged a little green ink across the bottom and blue around the tree.  I've cut this out with Hope Oval Frame Dies and matted with purple card using the largest die from the same set.  I've used the sentiment from Large Oval Sympathy, stamped in Violet ink and cut it out with the tag die from A2 Card Front Basics.  To finish I've added a few dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Crushed Grape.

Stamps - Multi-Step Seasonal Trees, Large Oval Sympathy (JustRite)

JustRite Happy Chrysanthemums

Hello Everyone!!  I hope you've all had a lovely Easter!  It's starting to get cooler here as we head into Autumn, but really it's still pretty warm here (probably like Summer for many of my Northern Hemisphere friends) and the kids can still get in the pool over the school holidays!  :)  I didn't really have anything in mind except that I wanted to colour this Chrysanthemum  image and it kind of evolved into something resembling a country theme - I have to say blue and yellow together always makes me feel happy, so the finished card just makes me smile!  :)

I've used a base of Marina Mist and topped with white cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and a piece of Carta Bella DP.  Over this I've attached a strip of white and then wrapped a piece of green ribbon around all layers.  I've stamped the flower and sentiment from Chrysanthemums in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (Y21, Y35, Y38, YR23, G21, G24, G28).  This has been cut with Labels 28 and while still in the die I've added some B0000 Copic around the edges.  I've matted this with Marina Mist cut with Decorative Labels 28 and popped it up on foam tape.  To finish I've added a green bow and topped it with a yellow button tied with twine.

JustRite Pink Silhouettes

Hello Everyone!  Today I've been playing with Floral Silhouettes One and decided to go with a dash of pink and a touch of vintage.  I was inspired by the colours of a paper pad I picked up called Apple Bloom by Tilda with it's warm greens and pretty soft pinks.  I thought the silhouettes would stand out in all the pink!

I've used a base of River Rock and layered with Blushing Bride, White and Apple Bloom.  Down one side is a strip of white topped with more Apple Bloom DP and then attached some pink ribbon around all the layers.  I've stamped a few of the Floral Silhouettes One images (including the butterfly) and sentiment onto white card, cut it with Decorative Labels 28 and airbrushed it with Copic R81, R83 and R85 while still in the die.  I've matted this with River Rock cut with A2 Divine Eloquence and attached as shown.  To finish I've added a bow and a couple of clear rhinestones to the top corner.

JustRite Birdie Friends

Hello Everyone!  It was my day off from work today and I was able to play with this super cute set by JustRite Papercraft called Doodled Birds!  How could you resist such cute birdies on their long (and not so long) legs???  I also like that you can mix and match the sentiments in the set.  :)  I'm not particularly a 'bird' person, but I know people who most definitely are and thought this would be a perfect sentiment to make into a card to give!  What do you think??  Have you got 'bird' friends too??

This is a super quick card that you can whip up in no time!  I've used a pink base and layered with kraft. Then cut a piece of Wild Wasabi with JustRite Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles (*I LOVE THIS DIE SET*) and top with some cute DP.  Around this I've added some Mesh.  The birdies and sentiments from Doodled Birds have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (RV52, RV55, BG11, BG13, Y21, Y35).  I've cut this out with Rectangle Nestabilities and matted with pink card and popped it up on X-press It Foam Tape.  To finish I've added a few buttons.

JustRite Amazing Chrysanthemums

Hello Everyone!  Today over on the Copicmarker Blog I have a tutorial on colouring embellishments to match your crafting projects!  For this card I started with a white, sheer ribbon and coloured it pink, a wooden button and coloured it green using the Copic Airbrush System and then coloured some rhinestones pink also.  I've used the colours from the Chrysanthemum to also colour the embellishments.  The image is from JustRite Papercraft's new Chrysanthemums set!

I've used a base of white and layered with pink and more white (embossed with an embossing folder).  On top of this is pink cut with Resplendent Rectangles and then attached the coloured ribbon around all the layers.  The image and sentiment from Chrysanthemums has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (check out the Copicmarker Blog for colour details).  It has been cut with the smaller die from Resplendent Rectangles and attached as shown.  To finish I've embellished with rhinestones and button that have been coloured with Copics.

Hello Everyone!  Today's card is made with a SUPER CUTE new set by JustRite called Doodled Birds!!  If you love birdies, long legged birdies and long stemmed flowers with mix and match sentiments.......then trust me, you will LOVE this set!!

I've used a base of Wild Wasabi and layered with white and some Ooh La La DP.  Down the centre I've added another piece of Ooh La La DP cut into a notched tag.  Across the top I've added some May Arts Mesh.  I've stamped the images and sentiments from Doodled Birds in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured it with Copics (Y21, Y35, Y38, YG11, YG13, YG17, RV00, RV52, RV55) and cut it out with Small Circle Nestabilities.  I've framed this with Wild Wasabi cut with Marvelous Squares and attached as shown.  To finish I've added a few Buttermilk Crystal Drops below the image.  (I think I've become addicted to this little bottles of colourful pearl like goodness!!)

JustRite Speedy Recovery

Hello Everyone!  Today I was inspired by this week's Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper challenge - which was a green and white card with a trio of images across the middle - called Jaunty Trees. I decided to play with a JustRite stamp set that arrived on my doorstep recently called Meadow Circles and added a few extra layers, some ribbon and made the sentiment into a notched tag. This fun set has circle images in various sizes and two of the sizes match the recently released Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles dies (which also has 2 stitched circle dies in it!).  Happy Sigh!  I love when things match beautifully!!  :)

I've used a base of Wild Wasabi and layered with cream and some Graphic 45 DP.  Across this is a strip of Chocolate Chip punched with Woodland Branch border punch and topped with some green ribbon.  I've stamped three of the images from Meadow Circles in green ink and cut the with the matching circle die from Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles.  I've glued these to a panel of cream card that has been stamped with Crackle Background in Desert Sand ink and them popped it all up on foam tape.  To finish I've stamped the sentiment, also from Meadow Circles in black and then cut it into a notched tag and attached as shown.

Stamps - Meadow Circles, Crackle Background (JustRite)

I've used a base of Marina Mist and layered with white cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and a piece of FabScraps Blue Heron 2 DP.  Around this I've added some lilac ribbon.  I've stamped the images from Floral Silhouettes One in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white card.  It's then been cut out with Majestic Labels 25 die.  I've placed a circle die cut over the flower heads and then sponged inks (Summer Sky, Blue Danube, Lulu Lavender) while it was still in the die.  I've stamped the sentiment from Meadow Circles and cut this out with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and attached it with a lilac bow.  To finish I've added some Crystal Drops in Midnight Blue (what a perfect name!) to the top corners.

JustRite I Miss You!

Hello Everyone!!  Oh Dear, it's been a looooong time since you've seen some new JustRite products on my blog!  I'm afraid they took a little longer to get here this month......BUT they are finally HERE!!!  WOOHOOO!!!  Since I had to wait a little longer, I thought a 'I miss you' card was in order because I was seriously going into withdrawal!  Let me introduce to you....Chrysanthemums!!!  There are THREE lovely flowers in this latest offering along with a selection of fabby sentiments and my fingers have been itching to get my hands on them!  (Yeesh, I've just realised these are showing as sold out, but I'm sure they'll be back in stock very soon!)  ***UPDATE - they are back in stock!!***

I've used a base of Old Olive, layered with cream and some Graphic 45 DP.  The strip down the side is more cream topped with more Graphic 45 DP from the same paper pad.  I've stamped the lovely Chrysanthemum and sentiment from Chrysanthemums in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured it with Copics (G82, G85, C5, B60, B63, B66).  I've cut this out with Romantic Rectangles and while still in the die, sponged a little Antique Linen around it.  I've attached it as shown and finished by adding a few brown buttons.

JustRite Sympathy

Hello Everyone! Today I was playing around in my craftroom and trying to do some watercolour pieces - which all ended up in the bin!  So don't look for them soon, they aren't coming back!  Perhaps it was frustration, or perhaps it's because I have known so many friends to have lost their loved ones of late, that I decided to make a Sympathy card.  To escape from the watercolour disaster, I've reached for Lilies and Butterflies by JustRite Papercraft and had some therapeutic mix and match stamping!

I've used a base of River Rock (is this still available? Not sure, but I really like this colour) and punched the bottom with the Deco Shell border punch.  Next is a piece of Marina Mist cut with the largest rectangle from A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles and attached some white ribbon around it.  I've then cut a piece of white card with the smaller rectangle, also from A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles and stamped a variety of stamps from the Lilies and Butterflies clear stamp set to create the finished image.  The sentiment is from Sweet Flowers and Vines, stamped in black and then I've sponged around the edges with Antique Linen ink.  To finish I've used one of my favourite new products - Nuvo Crystal Drops - in Wedgewood Blue.  I love this stuff!!  :)

Stamps - Lilies and Butterflies, Sweet Flowers and Vines (JustRite)
Paper - White, River Rock, Marina Mist
Ink - Bamboo Leaves, Lulu Lavender, Crystal Blue, Tuxedo Black, Antique Linen
Accessories - JustRite A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles, White Satin Ribbon, MS Deco Shell Border Punch, Nuvo Crystal Drops

That's all from me today, my sanity has been somewhat restored - may your day be fun and creative and hope you are inspired to stamp!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hello Everyone!  Today is my Dad's birthday so of course I had to make him a card!  I guess there are all sorts of things that you can use for the dreaded MAN card, but Dad *LOVES* ice-cream, anytime, anywhere.......seriously, I have seen him eat it for breakfast (admittedly I was a kid when that happened), but you get the idea.  :)  So I decided to reach for an older, but still available JustRite stamp set called The Scoop Vintage Labels Four that has a couple of big ice-cream cones in it!  I decided on the scoop over the soft serve because then you can make it a double!  :)

I've used a base of Marina Mist and layered with white and some Happy Days DP - love the retro feel (bit like Dad LOL - Mum, don't tell him I said that!). Next I've cut a piece of Marina Mist with Majestic Labels 25 and cut this in half and attached to the front.  Over the space where the cut is, I've attached another piece of Happy Days DP.  Then I've cut a piece of white using Labels 25, airbrushed it with Copic B14 while still in the die, popped it out and stamped the sentiment from The Scoop Vintage Labels Four on the side.  I've coloured the word 'Great' in B16 Copic.  Across the bottom I've added a couple of notched tags cut out of more Happy Days DP.  I've stamped the ice-cream cone from The Scoop Vintage Labels Four twice in Memento Rich Cocoa onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured them with Copics (E50, E51, E53, E23, E25, E27).  I've cut the second scoop and glued it to the top.  Nothing like a double scoop for your birthday right!!  :)

Stamps - The Scoop Vintage Labels Four (JustRite)
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Marina Mist, White, Echo Park Happy Days DP
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black

JustRite Anniversary Vines

Hello Everyone! It's time for this week's Inspiration Challenge at Splicoaststampers and the website takes us to the China Online Museum.  There is a lot to choose from, but I was drawn to 'A Spring Breeze' - I guess because I like the pinks, greens and creams of the floral painting - what can I say, I like this colour combo!  :)  I had to go with a colour palette inspiration because I really don't have much in the way of Chinese themed stamps and such!  I've also been playing with these gorgeous new Open Leaf Vine dies....*swoon*.... I love how pretty and lacy they are!!

I've used a base of green bazzill and layered with Very Vanilla (pierced around the edge) and topped with some FabScraps Chic Pink DP.  Next I've die cut some Vanilla card using Fleur De Elegance die.  In the middle of the die cut I've randomly stamped some roses using Sweet Flowers and Vines in Angel Pink ink.  Next I've die cut four Open Leaf Vines in two shades of green card - these are great because they mirror image each other - and attached them as shown.  I've added several Prima flowers to accent the vines in pinks and ivory.  I've stamped the sentiment from Sweet Flowers and Vines in Rose Bud onto Vanilla cut, cut into a notched tag and attached under the flowers.  The corners looked a little bare, so I've stamped the heart element from Sweet Flowers and Vines in Rose Bud ink on each corner.  Finally I've accented with Silver Lining Crystal Drops by adding drops to each corner as well as the centers of two of the flowers.  I love the Crystal Drops, you can make them as big or as small and you need and give a lovely pearl effect!  *Happy Sigh*

Stamps - Sweet Flowers and Vines (JustRite)
Paper - Green Card (two shades), Very Vanilla, FabScraps Pink Chic
Ink - Memento Rose Bud, Angel Pink
Accessories - JustRite Open Leaf Vine Dies, Spellbinders Fleur De Elegance, Prima Flowers, Tonic Silver Crystal Drops, Paper Piercer

It's been very hot and stormy here in tropical Queensland since it is the middle of Summer, but I know that there has been massive Winter storms and huge amounts of snow in other parts of the world.  I hope whatever part of the world you live in that you are safe from the wild weather that's been happening of late!  Thanks for taking the time to pop by and hope you are inspired to stamp!  :)

JustRite Don't Forget Bouquet

Hello Everyone!  Today I was able to sit down in my craftroom and have a bit of a play with a couple of new toys from JustRite Papercraft!  Sigh - don't you just *love* new toys!!  :)  The stamp set I've used is called Multi Step Don't Forget Bouquet - it has LOTS of mix and match sentiments for all sorts of occasions and I know most people would make the hearts pink or red......but I decided to go with blue!  :)

I've used a base of kraft and layered with Pool Party card cut with Spellbinders A2 Valiant Honor.  Next I've cut a piece of white and kraft chomping out the corners with a corner punch.  To one side of the kraft piece I've stamped the large heart bouquet image from Multi Step Don't Forget Bouquet in white ink and then added colour with the multi step pieces in blues and greens.  I've then taken the small heart image in the set and stamped those in green and then I found that adorable birdie and stamped it in Rich Cocoa.  It was at this point that I told myself to put the stamp set down because there are so many bits to play with it's a bit hard to stop!!  I've then added a little extra colour using white and green watercolour pencils.  Around these panels I've attached a sheer ribbon and a blue/green grosgrain ribbon.  I've stamped the sentiment (actually two different stamps since you mix and match the sentiments in the set) in Rich Cocoa across the bottom.

THEN I had a play with a new product that arrived in my mailbox - it's called Tonic Studios Nuvo Collection Crystal Drops.......OH MY, how awesome are THESE!!  A little squeeze (you may need to put a pin in the top for the first use) and you can create three dimensional pearly beads in whatever size you desire!  Be still my beating heart!!  There are many colours to choose from however the one that matched my project perfectly is called Neptune and I've added several drops to my project to give it that finishing touch!

Now thankfully I have a lovely little selection of these Crystal Drops, so be prepared to see A LOT more of these!!!  :)

Paper - Kraft, White, Pool Party

JustRite Lovely Lillies.....and Dies

Hello Everyone!  I've been playing with the new Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles dies again (I did warn you to be prepared to see these again LOL!) and this time have used a colour palette of orange and green, which I admit I not my 'go to' colours, but I kinda like how it turned out!

This time, I've used a base of Old Olive and layered with vanilla card that I've embossed with the largest Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Die!  I thought this would make a really cool embossed border, so it's not cut - I really like the result!  With the extra length, I've used a border punch called Iron Gate.  Next I've taken a piece of orange card and cut it with the smaller rectangle die from Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and wrapped a piece of vanilla ribbon around it.  I've taken more vanilla card and cut it with the larger of the two banner dies from Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles.  (Can you tell I'm a little addicted to this die set yet??????)  I've then used JustRite Lillies and Butterflies, which is a multi-step stamp set, to create the floral flourish on the banner die cut which fit perfectly!  I've then stamped the sentiment from Sweet Flowers and Vines and cut it with this little notched tag die......yep you guessed it, ALSO from Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Dies!  To finished I've added a little bling to the bottom corner and the flower centres.....because you can never have enough bling!!  :)

I'm sure anyone who follows my blog knows that I have a small (OK, HUGE) addiction to dies and I have been beside myself that JustRite have brought out this fabulous Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles die set ---- not just rectangles, or circles or banners BUT ALL OF THEM in one set.....WOOHOOOO!!!!!  I'm going to use this A LOT, so be ready!  :)

I started with a base of white and layered with pink.  Next I took a piece of white and cut it with the new JustRite Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and then stamped pink and dark ivory roses all over using Sweet Flowers and Vines.  I've cut a piece of pink using Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and attached as shown and then wrapped white and pink ribbons around all the layers.  Once again I've taken the Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and used the circle die in the set to cut a piece of white and then stamped the two-step butterfly from Multi-step Butterflies and Flowers in pink and brown inks and then popped it up on foam tape.  Finally I stamped the sentiment also from Sweet Flowers and Vines in the bottom corner.

Remember You Are Brave

Hello Everyone!  I have a new card today for you using one of the latest releases by JustRite Papercraft called Remember You Are!  If you have a fondness for Winnie the Pooh this will have a familiar feel!  Full of mix and match words to create a sentiment perfect for the person you have in mind!  I have a friend who's had a rough time lately and I thought this combo in particular would be fitting for her.

I've used a base of black card and layered with red and some Spring Bloom DP.  Next is a strip of black topped with more DP.  Around this I've attached cream and aqua ribbons.  I've then used the JustRite Vintage Labels Seven Dies (ooops, just realised that this particular die is no longer available - sorry about that!) to cut a piece of DP and a piece of black card.  I've cut the card panel in half so it can frame the other piece a little.  The sentiment from Remember You Are has been stamped in black and red inks to highlight the words braver and believe and then cut it out with a circle die and popped it up on foam tape.  To finish I've added some clear rhinestones and a couple of buttons.

Hello Everyone!  There's something about this new Arriving Soon stamp set by JustRite Papercraft that I just love!  I don't know about everyone else, but I've told my kids that I loved them to the moon and back.....which eventually morphed into "I love you around the universe and back!"  :)  I also like that this set is fabulous for baby cards, but for older kids (or adults for that matter!) as well!  I have news about a HUGE SALE as well, so make sure you scroll down!!

I've used a base of Marina Mist card and layered with silver and some Secret Garden DP.  Next I've added a panel of white punched with a border punch and topped with more paper.    I've used the Tonic Royal Frame and Butterfly Insert Die to cut a piece of Marina Mist for my feature panel and then carefully snipped on each side so I could thread a piece of silver ribbon through.  I've stamped the image and sentiment from Arriving Soon in grey (for the moon) and black (sentiment) inks and then used blue Copics (B0000, B000, B00, B21, B91) to colour and airbrush around the moon for a soft sky effect.  To add a bit of sparkle, I've used a Clear Spica Pen on the Moon and surrounding stars and a touch of silver Kirarina Pen on the swirls.  To finish I've added a couple of silver stars to the frame.
