All Boy Mini Album with Valerie Stangle

Good morning.  Welcome to day 1 with guest designer Valerie Stangle.  We are always so excited to have Valerie join us.  Valerie does some amazing masculine project which you will see today.

Here's Val:

Little did I know when this set, All Boy (SW-04520), arrived on my doorstep, that it was going to be the perfect set for so many projects for my soon-to-be grandson.  I knew I wanted to make a mini album/brag book using many of the fun elements of this fabulous set to celebrate this wonderful occasion!

The cover of the book uses the wonderful car silhouette, stamped in rhubarb,  and 2 sentiments from the set.  The Dickens quote is stamped in peanut brittle ink with teal and rhubarb accents. “It’s A Boy!” is stamped in brown ink on a mustard “tab.” Fun colors, patterned papers, die cuts, ribbon and dimension accent the stamped elements on the cover.

The inside cover has the sailboat from the set stamped in peanut brittle with multi-colored sails popped up with dimensional foam.  The chevron pattern stamped in aqua from Pattern Basics (SW-04585) simulates the waves of the ocean. The first blank picture page is simply stamped with a two-toned sentiment from All Boy and a patterned paper strip, embellished with a stapled tab die cut.

Center pages, awaiting future pictures, use two of the border elements, the dotted border and the stitched argyle, from Pattern Basics as well as two more of the super fun sentiments from All Boy. Stapled ribbon embellishments accent each die cut sentiment.

Finally, the back page and back cover are stamped with even more fun sentiments and a cute tugboat image from All Boy riding on chevron “waves.” 

I’m excited to fill this little album with baby pictures and haven’t decided if it will be Gramma’s brag book or a gift for my son.  Decisions, decisions!

Day Three with Guest Designer Valerie Stangle

A special thanks to Valerie Stangle for guest designing this week.  Her projects have been amazing!  Be sure to check out Valerie's blog for more inspiration.

Here's Valerie:

Using Anchors Away by JustRite I created a nautical themed accordion book for your favorite dad (grandpa, uncle, brother).

The base of the book is 4” x 12” and scored at 4” and 8.”

Each panel is decorated with a piece of 4” x 4” patterned paper before adding the die cut and stamped images.

For the front of the accordion, I used the map stamp from Anchors Away  and coordinated die from Vintage Label and Banner Dies.  I die cut the label in teal and added accent coloring on the rope portion of the image with a tan colored pencil.  The anchor was stamped on a die cut sand circle with teal ink and distressed with sand ink and adhered to a burgundy die cut circle with dimensional foam.  Embellish with a piece of knotted cording, a tiny paper clip and a dad tag and adhere to map die cut layer. Adhere finished focal image to center of front panel with dimensional foam.

Using the map stamp and coordinated die with an inspirational sentiment from Anchors Away, I created the first inside panel in the same manner as the front panel.  The sentiment is stamped in teal ink onto a sand die cut circle and adhered to a burgundy die cut circle.  Adhere to teal stamped die cut with dimensional foam. A brad accented, stamped helm is adhered to the rope die cut layer with dimensional foam. Adhere finished focal image to left inside panel with dimensional foam.

The center of the accordion book was created using the rope frame and ship image from Anchors Away.  I die cut the largest label from Nested Medallion Labels Dies in teal cardstock and added accent coloring with a tan colored pencil.  The ship is stamped in teal ink onto a sand die cut circle, adhered to a burgundy die cut circle and embellished with a rope knot and clip.  Adhere completed ship to teal medallion die cut with dimensional foam.  Adhere finished focal image to center inside panel with dimensional foam.

The final page of the accordion book was created using the map stamp and coordinate die once more.   Accented with a birthday banner stamp from Anchors Away and coordinated die from Vintage Label and Banner Dies and anchored with love sentiment, it will be sure to bring a smile to your nautical guy’s face!

JustRite Friday Challenge #075 - Color Challenge

I think this challenge will be a little easier than the last few have been lately. For this challenge, simply create a card or project using the colors referenced in the inspiration photo or similar:

 
I immediately thought about using pennants on my card in some way because of the photo but then I got a shipment in the mail from JustRite and I really wanted to color my new Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two seahorse instead:

The GORGEOUS orange ribbon I used is silk 1/4" ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  It is so soft and luxurious to work with!  I just can't have too many colors of this stuff!!  You can find it here.

I don't think there is a wrong way to color this little guy, however, I know I am not a pro at coloring so you shouldn't feel intimidated to try some coloring yourself.  It has become one of my favorite relaxing things to do after a long day and you may surprise yourself!  If you'd like more details of my project, please visit my blog HERE.

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite CL-02220 Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two
Dies: Spellbinders S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two, S5-107 Lattice Motifs, Grand Caliber
Ink: Ranger Antique Linen & Vintage Photo Distress Inks, COPIC Sketch Markers 

Paper: Pink Paislee Nantucket, Authentique Gathering

Accessories: silk ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

Darsie Bruno created her card with lots of gorgeous ribbon and lace from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store using Large Fancy Sentiments and a sneak peek of the new Antique Labels One Die.

Eva Dobilas chose a vibrant color palette using Chevron Stripe Background, Heart Scroll Background, Royal Antique Labels One, Seeds Of Summer, Vintage Label & Banner Dies and a sneak peek of the new Antique Labels One Die.

JustRite Friday Challenge #074 - "Vintage Masculine"

With Father's Day just around the corner, we wanted to give you a chance to put your thinking caps on and honor those men in your lives!  Whether it's graduation or a birthday or Father's Day, JustRite Friday Challenge #074 is all about the guys! We have many stamp sets that are perfect for this challenge.  If you need a starting place, you can always check out our pinterest board for Father's Day ideas HERE.

I wanted to show you that sometimes you can use JustRite themed stamps in an unexpected way.  I used the smaller label from Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two for the main focal point of my card, but added a twist to the usual nautical theme by adding a few elements from Market Place Alpha clear set to transform this label into a great masculine centerpiece for my card!

You can get full details about how I created my shaped card on my blog here.

JustRite Friday Challenge #073 - "Anything But Square"

For JustRite Friday Challenge #073, we want to see you create a shaped card in any shape as long as it's NOT square!  Spellbinders are great for this challenge and well as many other die cut shapes.

I chose to REALLY step outside the box on this one and show you that there are many styles you can use for this project!  Sometimes I just get something stuck in my head and can't shake it??  So, I went looking for a way to create a hot dog shaped card:

I thought this would be a fun invitation for a BBQ over the holiday weekend and Summer Words was the perfect stamp set!  I wanted it to appear that this hot dog got the blue ribbon so I pulled out last year's You Are The Best cling set to make my ribbon award.  I LOVE the way you can mix and match all these sets to get the perfect combo for any occasion!  You can get full details about how I created my shaped card on my blog here.

Guest Designer Amy Sheffer- Seashell Bay

 This week I am absolutely delighted that my dear friend Amy Sheffer is joining us as our guest designer this week. I am a huge fan of Amy's work!  I had a ton of fun looking back at Amy's JustRite work over the past 3 years while I was creating an Amy Sheffer-JustRite  Pinterest Gallery board on our Pinterest Site.  Now all of Amy's JustRite Creations can be easily pinned to your inspiration boards!

Now here is Amy:

 

I love pretty much anything and everything with a nautical theme. I'm instantly transported to my favorite place to be -- anywhere by the shore. Here I've combined Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two with the beautiful Vintage Map Collage Background Stamp. The weathered, vintage feel of these sets is just gorgeous. I can almost taste the salty, beach air!  

I started by stamping the Seahorse Bay label image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then die cut it out using the coordinating Spellbinders Labels Twenty Two Nestabilities. I colored with Copic markers and sponged the edges with some Ranger Distress inks for that nice, aged feel. My favorite nautical embellishments had to make an appearance: rope, vintage jumbo eyelets, burlap, and some netting, To finish, I machine stitched and distressed the edges of my background layers and dry-brushed ivory acrylic paint to the edges of the card base. 

Beach or bust ;)
