Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday, JustRite Papercraft designer, Darsie Bruno, shows us how to create a xool pop up box using Spellbinders Scalloped Pop Up Box Dies (Now available in the JustRite Store) with our Stitched Flowers Vintage Tag Clear Stamp Set. These boxes, once made, fold up flat and are easy to mail to your favorite someone. It’s fun to make these boxes with all kinds of themes like graduation, baby, wedding, holiday and more using ours stamps sets and background stamps.

To see how easy it is to create a pop up box watch this 6 minute video.

  

This is the new April Spellinders Release die -Scalloped Pop Up Box Dies that Darsie used to create her pop up box. 

 

To assemble the pop up box, cut four from the Box Wall Die and two from the Bar Die. Adhere all four Box Wall die cuts, make sure the tabs are adhered on the inside for a finished look. Then place adhesive on the scored tabs of the Bar die cut and adhere to the inside of Box Wall towards the back half and the second Bar die cut to the front half. Decorate the box edges with either Edge 1 or Edge 2 die cuts. Add elements to the Bar area and square flaps for desired look. Assembled box measures approximately 7½w x 5h x 5d”.

Here is a look at Darsie's first pop up box using flowers and butterflies from our Stitched Flowers Vintage Tags Clear Stamps.  Darsie also stamped the actual box die cuts with our Leafy Cling Background Stamp and used sentiments from our Floral Basket Clear Stamps.

Here's a peek into the box so you can see how Darsie arranged the flowers.

 and another view into the pop up box.

Here you can see the flattened version of the box for mailing.... Wouldn't you love to receive a Pop Up Box in the mail?

 

 Once you get started making these boxes you won't be able to stop.  Here Darsie shares a sweet Graduation Box using Samantha Walker's  Owl Be There Clear Stamps paired with our "Congrats You Did It" phrase from our Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps.

Tutorial Tuesday - Color Burst Tutorial Series 1 with Heidi Blankenship

For Tutorial Tuesday, Design Team Member, Heidi Blankenship shares how to use Color Burst to create hand dyed seam binding, color mist sprays, and watercolor backgrounds.  All six colors of Ken Oliver's Color Burst that I am using in my tutorial today are now available in the JustRite Store here. Today I am sharing both a written and a video version of my tutorial.



All of these techniques are fun, quick and easy to achieve with just a little bit of Color Burst and some water.

These are the cards that I made using today's Color Burst Techniques

If you are reading this post from a feedburner email  you can see My Video Tutorial here.

  

Let's start with hand dying some seam binding. I am using the Pthalo Green Color Burst, Hug Snug Seam Binding in Winter White and a mist bottle of water. I am working on my craft mat and I lightly mist the seam binding with water.

Doing this will allow the color burst to blend into the seam binding. Next lightly tap the bottle of Color Burst so that little sprinkles of the color come out. Remember Color Burst is a very fine and highly pigmented powder. Mist with water to activate the Color Burst. Next add the slightly damp seam binding and move it around on the mat to pick up the color.

You can add more water if needed. Whenever I make hand dyed seam binding I use up every bit of the color.  My first batch is always the darker more intense color and then I do a second batch using more water and the little bit of color that is left on the mat. Doing this will result in a lighter color. With just a sprinkle of Color Burst and some water I have beautiful hand dyed seam binding in minutes.  For this batch I am using Pthalo Green Color Burst.

 You can set aside to dry or using a heat tool to speedy up the drying time. Be careful if using a heat tool! :) You can also sprinkle some of the Color Burst on dry seam binding and then add the water to achieve a totally different look.

Color mist sprays are so quick and easy to make using Color Burst. You will need a Mini Mister or small spray bottle. Simply put the tip of the Color Burst bottle into the empty spray bottle and squeeze out some of the powder. Then add some water. I use a dropper to add the water. You can see some of the Color Burst down inside the bottle. Add a little water and then put the cap on and shake to mix. Add more water and shake again. You can also add more Color Burst if you want a darker more intense color.

Love this pretty light blue colored spray mist! You can also mix the Color Burst to create custom colors.  

To create this card I simply added the spray mist to the bottom of my card and allowed it to fade into the white watercolor paper and the top of my card.  I used the "just for you" sentiment from Grand Hand Written Sentiments Clear Stamps paired with Spellbinders S2-139 Sentiments Three Dies. 

Color Burst can be used to create beautiful watercolor backgrounds. Sprinkle some of the Color Burst onto the craft mat. You can use two or three different color. Mist with watercolor to activate. The powder is so fine that it doesn't look like there is anything on the mat but check out what happens when the water is added.

Here are the two backgrounds I created in the video using Alizarin Crimson and Ultramarine Blue Color Burst.

 

You can do several backgrounds with just a little Color Burst. If you want to add some depth and layers to the water color use a heat tool to dry the paper and then add more color. Do this as many times as you would like to achieve the desired look.

Another way to create a beautiful background is to start with a dry piece of watercolor paper and sprinkle some of the Color Burst on to the paper.

Then mist with water to activate.

You can add more Color Burst and water if you would like.

Pick up the piece of paper and move it from side to side to get the colors moving and blending. You can use a heat tool to speed up the drying time.

Here is a card that Heidi created with one of the watercolor papers she created using the Pthalo Green Color Burst and Lemon Yellow Color Burst with the Pthalo Green hand dyed seam binding.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps.

 Here is a close up look...I used the sequins to accent my card design and I die cut the sentiment with Spellbinders SCD-012 Pierced Rectangles Dies.

For this last background I used three colors of the Color Burst. I started with the Lemon Yellow Color Burst and Orange Color Burst and then I added some Alizarin Crimson Color Burst. I used a heat tool to speed up the drying time.

 

For my last card I used our April Release Grand Hand Written Sentiments Clear Stamps and some of the hand dyed seam binding I made in the video to create this clean and simple card.

 Here is a close- up of my card.

Here is another look at the hand dyed seam binding. Check out all of these beautiful colors!

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday. Today JustRite designer Darsie Bruno will be showing you how to use Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder with Ranger Foil and Fine Glitter.

But before we get started we need to announce the winner for our last Tutorial Tuesday Giveaway, Congratulations to Donna Polley who has won a $50.00 Gift Certificate to the JustRite Webstore.  Thank to everyone who left a comment on the blog post or video. 

Donna please email me at [email protected] with your email and shipping information so that I can send you your gift card.  Please use as the subject line of your email Tutorial Tuesday Winner..

 If you are reading this post from a feedburner email click here to see Darsie's Video.
 

  

Tips for using Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder - Work with a hot heating gun (warm up the gun before you heat emboss the powder).  As soon as the powder turns clear you are ready to apply foil or glitter.  If you over heat the embossing powder it will not be sticky enough to apply foil or glitter.   In the video Darsie is using black paper so that you can see how quickly the embossing powder heats to clear. It is more difficult to see the powder change to clear when you are embossing on white paper, so we recommend starting with a dark paper until you figure out the timing.

In this close up you can see how shiny the foil is.
