Welcome to Week 6 of the JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop!
Here on the JustRite Inspiration blog, we are in the midst of our New Cling Release --which just happens to have 3 New Christmas images - two of which we are debuting during this hop. The first Cling Sets is Sparky the Snowman ...
Does anyone recoginze this Snowman's face? You should --- Sparky first appeared in our Vintage Christmas Set- just his torso. We couldn't resist developing him into a full image and giving him a name - Sparky the Snowman! All of our Cling stamps come pre-cut on a storage panel with colored images of the set you are purchasing. The artwork we are showing today on the blog is the actual storage panel for Sparky the Snowman.
4 storage panels fit comfortably in our mini storage binder box ( which is not up on our website yet but are in stock ready to ship please bear with us while we are loading our new products into the website).
Again this is another fun set and our mitten image was designed to coordinate with the new Spellbinders's Shapeabilities Nested Mitten Dies. It was designed so that you can use die #4 from the mitten set to mat our mitten image. I added a crocheted chain stitch loop to the corner of my mitten tag.
For today's project, I decided to go with brights in contrast to the fall cards I created earlier this week. I used the snowflake images from the Sparky the Snowman Set to create designer paper similar to the paper I designed on Monday.
I started with this piece of paper from the Botanical 12 x 12 paper pad by Martha Stewart. I used the grid lines to help with the placement of my images. After I stamped all the snowflakes I added green, red and blue rhinestones to the center of each snowflake for a little extra Holiday Cheer.
For my mitten image I stamped the mitten in Memento Ivy Cottage and then added the verse " I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" to the upper half of the mitten before I started coloring it with Copic Markers.
I added Pom Poms for snow balls and in the bottom Right hand corner I added a little Polar White Flower Soft to depict a mound of snow. You will find my second card for this set on my personal blog during the hop today.
For our 2nd Christmas Set we decided that Sparky needed a few Friends --- so our next set is titled Sparky and Friends ...
Sharon Harnist made this sweet wooden birdhouse ornament, accented with Sparky and Friends!
Sharon colored the snow friends with Copic markers, cut them out and added them to the side of the wooden house she coverd with patterned papers. Polar White Flower Soft was added for a real snow effect!
The sign on the roof was made with another of our custom dies we'll be introducing soon! After die cutting the frame from woodgrain patterned paper and sanding the embossed edges, Sharon stamped the "Warm and Cozy" sentiment with black pigment die ink and then heat embossed it with black detail embossing powder. The mitten was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink (omitting the inside sentiment) onto patterned paper, accented with Copic markers, and then die cut with Spellbinders Nested Mitten die -- love that it's so easy to die cut this stamp! More Polar White Flower Soft adorns the rooftop.
On the front of the house, our crazy bird friend from Whimsical Christmas is skating by! TIP: Sharon used her R89 Copic marker to color/stain the edges and eaves of the wood birdhouse!
Speaking of Copics, have you downloaded our JR Copic Coloring Reference guide yet? It is a great guide for knowing which Copic combinations blend perfectly.
Now on to our blog hop for today . . .
