Justrite white on white challenge Christmas card

For this card I used one of my favorite back ground stamps  Elegant fronds and pearl embossing powder. I used pearl paper to give it even a richer look. I die cut the lace square and ornament with the same pearl paper. I added some fun glitter pen to give it even a richer look as well as a few pearls to make it pop.I used foam tape to add dimension and for the Merry Christmas I used silver ink with the pearl embossing powder on top. the holly leaves were a last minute touch along with the sheer organdy faux bow.All of the dies I used are spellbinders dies.Notice that I embossed the square with the next size die in the set it really added some interest to the plain Lacey square.
  Be sure to check out the other great cards my fellow paper artists have made over the the Justrite challenge white on white.

JustRite challenge 083 card 3

 How about a little Christmas shall we. I love the ornament stamps that coordinate with the spellbinders ornament die's.I stamped the ornament and saying with Olive grove ink by momento.as well as the music sheet background. I edged things with the Olive grove also with a sponge.I used a stipple brush and Rhubarb stalk ink ( the red color) on top of the background and on the saying to pull the card together. I die cut the poinsettia from a fun windowpane plaid using a spellbinders die and edging it with the olive grove ink to antique it a bit, I did this with the leaves also. I added some small golden yellow pearls from Kaiser Kraft. I almost for got I sprayed the flower and ornament with Goose Bumps shimmer spray it give it a lovely texture and slight shimmer.I used pop dots to lift up the smaller ornament as well as the saying.I can't wait to make some Christmas goodies. I am hooked on Pinterest and I have pinned a bunch of new recipes I want to try.

JustRite Challenge card one #083

   I love using printed papers on my cards, the challenge of finding prints that work together yet make the card pop. I made this fall card for my husbands Grandmother who is 96 and sharp as a tack. We don"t get to see her much so I like to send her cards every once in a while to let her know we are thinking of her.
   This challenge is to use 3 printed papers or a background stamp.I stamped the fall still life from JustRite and colored it with copc markers. I die cut it and the mats with spellbinders dies including the leaves. ( I love this small leaf die set it has several leaf style in one die set which makes it great for on cards.)I also used spellbinders M-Bossability wood grain embossing folder.and then rubbed ink over the raised design. I die cut the card with an Accucut tag card die.I really like how it turned out all warm and fall like. I love the way the printed papers even thought they are some different really work well together.

How about Orange and Blue? Opposites attract challenge #79

This is a fun little gift box all dressed up and ready to give that little something.The orange ( rust) and blue are so outside my box but I really like how it turned out. I stamped the cake from JustRites TopsyTurvy set which is one of my favorite sets with the whimsical cakes and fun little sayings.
 I colored it with Copic markers and then added some glitter pen to make the flowers sparkle. I die cut it with a spellbinder beaded oval die and then layered it on yellow and blue mats I cut using JustRite Nested Oval Medallion Labels die set by Spellbinders.I then attached the orange ( rust) mat onto the clear gift box and then put the white twill tape around the box and then attached the matted cake on top.
     Be sure to stop by JustRite's blog to see more fun projects by other talented Stampers.
I love a challenge. They make me think outside my box and it gives me a kick in the butt to do some projects and take some time to play  away from my busy world of Brides and wedding gowns.

Olive green and Wine opposites attract card

 Here is my Olive green and wine opposites attract card that I did for the JustRite challenge Opposites attract #079. I used the barn stamp and colored it with copic markers. I used JustRites A day in the county stamp set. I die cut it with Spellbinders oval dies as well as the wine mat. I then embossed the olive green with  wood grain embossing folder and die cut it with JustRites Nested Oval Medallion Labels by Spellbinders. I then die cut the wine paper with JustRite Antique Labels One Dies by spellbinders and I cut it in 1/2 and put it under the matted barn after adding metal accents. I ran the card through an embossing folder and then sponged over it with distress ink  and then attached the matted Barn.

I hope you like this simple card and its take on Opposites attract. Be sure to stop over and see the other projects the other talented stampers have made for this challenge.

JustRite Christmas Challenge JRC_063

I used a embossing folder on the card front and then added the ornament.

I stamped the snowflakes with the same ink I used for the brayer back ground.

I embossed the white mat with a snowflake embossing folder. I put versa mark on the ornament and then added bridal embossing powder to give it a shimmer.

I make my back ground by stamping the small ornament with the same ink I used on the brayer. I added small pearls to the centers to add a bit more glam to this card.

 I played around with my brayer this weekend. I stamped the images with versa mark ink and then used my brayer to go over the image with the inked brayer.I also used the ink as a reverse for backgrounds.I hope you think out side the box with some fun colors for Christmas cards this year.
Take care,
Donna

Thankgiving gift

 This is a remake or an up do it you will of a Martha Steward goodie box. I used a JustRite stamp for the design and spellbinders dies. I used prisma color pencils to color the design. The square lace doily motif was cu from color core paper and sanded to give it an aged look, and I edged the die cuts and box edge with Ranger distress ink. This is a fast and easy way to personalize a box of goodies for Thanksgiving host.

Pay it forward Challenge project 2 over at Moxie Fab - Apple sauce bread

 I wanted to try this recipe I found on Recipes .com for apple sauce bread. I made a crockpot full of apple sauce I had some apples that needed to be used.This is more of a desert if you ask me.
I used a JustRite stamp for this shall we say bread bell band. I colored it with Copics and used Raisin Boat paper for the band and a Martha Steward border punch. It was a quick and simple project that just made that plan looking loaf of bread POP.  This is for my neighbor's who have been kind enough to give my daughter a ride home from Play practice because I have Lots of fitting for Brides at the end of the day and it would have been a big challenge for me to go and get her.They are such a big help to me.
I hope you like my 2nd project I did for the Pay it forward challenge over at Moxie Fab

Why not bake up some goodies for those who touch your life in kind ways.I think I gained 5 pounds just taste testing.I love the way the house smells when things are baking don't you?

I just had to show you these fun mitten ornaments

 I just could not wait to try this fun mitten with the new lace borders. I die cut the mitten with a spellbinder die and then stamped it with rows of diffent laces and versa mark ink and then embossed it with red embossing powder. I did the same with the small doily.I edged the mittens with Ranger distress ink. I plan on making more for my daughter who is away for collage. I thought they would be fun for her little tree in the dorm. I plan on playing with more designs on the mittens to fill up the tree.
I hope you enjoy this fun little project.

The cuffs can just be cut with fun scraps you have for a fun touch.

I put a die cut spellbinders snowflake under the small doily.

Justrite Birthday Challange

I had fun with this card. I used the flowers and oval border with versamark ink and gold embossing powder. I colored it with Copic markers. I then used some fun flock to add some dimension to the flowers.It was cut out with a nestiblitie die and also the gold mat was cut using a scalloped nestabilite die.I combined some fun paper to pick up the colors of the flowers with a striped of green paper that I punched the edges on. The Briton font was used to stamp the words Happy Birthday and die cut it using a nestability die.I went around the edge with a gold leaf pen to pull out the gold embossing.I added a paper flower and a brad and a few Kaiser pearls. The tag shaped card was cut with an Accucut die.
I hope you like the card and get inspired to play today!

Justrite Get creative with Fonts Challange

Well I am up to another challenge. This time it is a Font Challenge by Justrite stampers.I am still in the Valentine mood so this is a Valentine bag topper.
- I die cut the bag topper ( Accucut) from glossy white paper.
- I selected some pink inks mostly Brilliance and one Pallete ink.
- I used my fonts to spell out the word love some vertical and some horizontal I then stamped them randomly on my bag topper leaving spaces to add some die cut hearts I cut used my spellbinders dies.
- Last by not least I added some bling with some flower rhinstones.
From a scale from 1-10 I would say this was a 3 for skill. the main thing was to be sure you did not get any ink on the edges of your stamps and the other was to stamp straight.It took relitivly a small amount of time and it would be a great way to do several projects as you would have everything all set to go with the next ones.
I hope you enjoyed my take on this challenge and that it inspires you to do some of your own projects.
