JustRite Friday Challenge #096 - "Sew Good"

Can you believe it's been one year since I started hosting the challenges here at JustRite Inspiration?! It's getting harder to come up with new themes every other week but I hope you are all having fun? (I know I am!!) This week, I want you to create a card or project featuring sewing elements (stitching, buttons, fabric, or etc). I intended to sew on my card this time but my sad little sewing machine decided not to cooperate. So, I went with the next best thing and inked up Grandma's Attic background:

The sentiment was from Becca Feeken's October 2012 Kit Club and was the perfect compliment. I layered it with Spellbinders Pinking Circle, D-Lite Medallion One and JustRite Nested Medallion Labels Custom Die. I've had those wooden spool buttons lying around forever and I'm so glad I found something to use them with! For more details on my card, please visit my blog HERE.

The Grand Prize winner for JRC#096 will receive JustRite Vintage Labels Four Custom Die and 1 Coordinating Stamp set of choice from theJustRite Store. We now have 6 sets that coordinate with Vintage Labels Four Dies.

The 3 Honorable Mention winners for JRC#096 will receive 1 JustRite Custom Die of choice from the JustRite Store.

The Random Draw Winner for JRC#096 will receive *1 Stamp Set of choice from the JustRite Store.

* Any stamp set can be selected from items in stock and priced $22.95 or less.

Day Two with Guest Designer Marge Robertson

Good morning.  Welcome to Day Two with Guest Designer Marge Robertson.  Today Marge has a really cute birthday card.  For more projects by Marge, visit her blog here.

Here's Marge: 

Thanks for coming by on my second day Guest Designing @ JustRite Papercraft.  I have a fun little birthday card today, which could easily be adapted for a boy or girl depending on color choices and whether you choose to stamp a focal image or use designer paper as I did. Cutting a window in my card added so much more depth, so I chose that option today! As a bonus, this card perfectly fits the current JustRite Friday Challenge #095, so I'll be adding it there.

 

My recipe:

 Step 1: I decided to make this a window card, but if you choose not to, simply center your image on card front, using a centering ruler. Center top to bottom and side to side, place your die (A2 Matting Basics A #2 die -- #1 being smallest) in the center of your card front & die cut;

Step 2: Die cut focal image from DP (A2 Matting Basics A #3); set aside, as we'll adhere it in Step 6;

 Step 3: Die cut 2 largest A2 Locking Loops rectangles in chosen colors; attach smallest to open area using foam tape and largest using 1/8" Scor-Tape;

 Step 4: Die cut banner/bunting and four button shapes from CS using Spellbinders Buntings and Buttons die, then stamp with Buntings and Banners.  Thread buttons with desired fiber, cord, etc. I used crochet thread colored with my ink pad.  Layer banner as shown and add buttons at each end;

 Step 5: Finally, die cut two Spellbinders Ribbon Banners, stamp with desired sentiments and attach sentiment banner @ center bottom with foam tape and buttons.

 Step 6: Adhere your main image to inside, attaching second sentiment banner above focal image.

 

My Ingredients: 

JustRite Stamps: Bunting & Banners

Spellbinders' Compatible Dies: Buntings & Button Dies; Ribbon Banners; A2 Locking Loops; A2 Matting Basics A; A2 Matting Basics B

Papers: Vintage Cream Papertrey Ink CS, October Afternoon's Cakewalk 8x8 Paper Pack; Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic

Inks: VersaColor Old Rose; ColorBox Sunflower

Embellishments/Tools: Grand Calibur; Embroidery Floss; Tim Holtz Centering Ruler; X-Press It Foam Mounting Tape; Scor-Tape 

Hope you’ll stop by tomorrow for my final day as I’ve created a masculine and a feminine card using the same stamp sets/dies – see you then!

Day Three with Guest Designer Kristi Schurr

 Good morning.  Welcome to Day Three with Guest Designer Kristi Schurr.  We would like to say a huge thank you to Kristi for guest designing this week.  Her projects have been amazing!!  To check out more of Kristi's work you can visit her blog - Kristi's Paper Creations.

Here's Kristi: 

Welcome to my final day as guest designer for JustRite Stamps. It has been a thrill to show you how versatile and wonderful JustRite Stamps are. I would like to thank everyone at JustRite for this wonderful opportunity to create with their wonderful products!

My last project is all about the graduate! It’s almost that time of year as the school year winds down. JustRite’s new set, Celebration Labels One and Bracket One, has many options for projects with the graduate in mind.

I made a card and a matching gift bag. The layout is pretty much the same on both, so you can make the card and bag in tandem and mix the sentiments around to your liking.

Here’s how I made the card:

Step 1- Die cut a card base from gold card stock using Spellbinders Labels One die set.

Step 2-Die cut a label out of black card stock using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One. Adhere to card base with foam tape.

Step 3- Die cut label from white card stock using Spellbinders Labels One die set. Emboss and adhere to center of card.

Step 4- Using label stamp from Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One, stamp once on vellum and once on white card stock. Emboss both in gold. Stamp sentiment in center of label stamped on white card stock. Emboss in black. Diecut vellum piece with Spellbinders Label One dies and die cut ONLY center part of the white card stock label with a Spellbinders Standard Circles die.

Step 5- Layer both pieces as shown and adhere to card with foam tape. Add mortar board hat sticker, diploma sticker and star as shown.

For the bag, I layered some black scroll paper over gold card stock and adhered to the bag front. I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Decorative Labels One set from gold card stock and placed in the middle of the bag front.

I used both label stamps from the Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One set stamping both onto white card stock and embossing both in black.  I embossed the sentiment in gold and die cut it using the matching die from the Antique Tags One custom die set, adhering to the center. I stamped and die cut a border for the bottom edge of the bag using a border stamp from the Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One stamp set. I then die cut it with an A2 Bracket Borders One die.  I wrapped a black satin ribbon around it to conceal the joint and added a gold star to the center of the bow. I randomly added a few gold sequins to the front for a little sparkle.

 Supply List:
JustRite Stamp Set- Celebration Labels One and Bracket One
JustRite Custom Dies- Antique Tags One
Spellbinder Dies-Labels One, Decorative Labels One and A2 Bracket Borders One
Papers: All Card Stock and Patterned Paper-Recollections

Day Two with Guest Designer Kristi Schurr

Good morning and welcome to Day Two with Guest Designer Kristi Schurr.  Be sure to check out Kristi's blog - Kristi's Paper Creations - for more inspiration.  Today Kristi has a really cute baby project for those of you who might have an upcoming baby shower to attend.

Here's Kristi: 

Hi and welcome to my second day as guest designer at JustRite! Today’s project was made for a baby’s room. I went toward the girly side, but it can also be easily adapted for a boy. 

This room decoration was made from a picture frame I found in my local discount store.  It was already white, so I saved a step not having to paint. You can also use a frame you may already have around the house. 

I also made a matching card to give along with the frame.  

 

Here’s how I put together the card:

Step 1- Create card base from white card stock.

Step 2-Die cut bottom edge of the card front with Spellbinder’s dies from the A2 Bracket Borders One set.

Step 3-Adhere pink doily paper to top half of card. Add 2 coordinating strips just above the die cut area.

Step 4- Stamp banners from the Buntings And Banners stamp set and emboss with white embossing powder. Die cut with matching dies from the Buntings And Buttons die set. Layer them together as shown and attach to card with mini clothespins.

Step 5-Adhere felt bunny sticker to doily and adhere to card front.

Step 6- Stamp “baby” sentiment from the Buntings And Banners stamp set and die cut with the flag die from the Vintage Label And Banner die set. Add acrylic flower next to sentiment and adhere flag to the bunny. 

Here’s how the frame came together:

Step 1- Cut a piece of card stock so it fits into the frame. This will be the base.

Step 2- Cut two pieces of patterned paper half the size of the base height wise and adhere to base joining in the middle.

Step 3- Stamp “congrats” label from Celebrations Label One and Bracket one stamp set onto pink card stock. Emboss in white. Die cut with matching Spellbinders Label One die. Adhere to center.

Step 4-Adhere bunny sticker to center of label and attach heart shaped button to center of bunny.

Step 5-Stamp “Welcome Baby” sentiment from the Buntings And Banners stamp set in pink onto pink card stock. Die cut with banner die from the Vintage label And Banners die set. Adhere under bunny label. Add small pearl to each side of banner.

Step 6- Stamp and emboss bunting and banner from the Buntings And Banners stamp set. Emboss in white and die cut with matching dies from the Buntings and Banners die set. Adhere to the top of frame with a small amount of hot glue or other strong glue. Add pearls between buntings.

Step 7- Add crocheted flower to lower right of frame and add a decorative brad to center of flower.

Day Two with Guest Designer Holly Simoni

Good morning - welcome to Day Two with Guest Designer Holly Simoni.  Today Holly has a stunning Silhouette Bracelet to share with us.  Be sure to check out Holly's blog - Wild Wyoming Art Cafe' -for more mixed media inspiration.

Here's Holly:

Today I have created a Silhouette Bracelet to share with you. It turned into one of my favorite projects. I've used the fabulous JustRite Stamps Graceful Monogram set for this project. The silhouette stamp fits perfectly inside the Spellbinders hobnail circles bezel.

 

I purchased a pre-made crochet bracelet from a craft store, then added stamping, ribbon, bling and resin.

 

 I decided I wanted to give the silhouette stamp a deep glossy black finish. So I stamped the silhouette with Versamark ink and poured black fine detail embossing powder over the ink, then heat embossed. The glossy embossed silhouette is stunning! I then used my Spellbinders Artisan Explorer die cutting machine to cut out image. I used the circles one die template that perfectly matches the hobnail circle bezel. Using a little piece of tape to secure the die template, helps to keep it in the perfect place around the stamped image. I also used a permanent solvent ink to stamp the beautiful swirls onto the blue ribbon.

 

The stamped ribbon was adhered with double sided permanent tape and a few rhinestones were added. I adhered the silhouette image to the bezel with glossy accents and applied a thin coat of matte finish glossy accents to the stamped image. I layered rhinestone chain inside the bezel, and around the silhouette. Then allowed the glossy accents to dry. I mixed Ice Resin according to manufacturer instructions and poured it into the bezel. The ice resin takes about 6hrs to complete cure. Then I adhered the finished bezel to the center of the bracelet with E6000 adhesive.

 I just love how this turned out and am thinking of making an entire jewelry line to match it! Think how fun a pendant, ring and even earrings would be. I hope you enjoyed this project!

hugs,

Holly
