JustRite Quick Tips for Creating a Shaker Card with Four in a Square Dies

For today's Tuesday Tutorial,  I am sharing how to create an Autumn Shaker Card using our Four in Square Dies paired with Multi-Step Seasonal Clear Stamps and Large Oval Celebrations Clear Stamps (Sentiments - Happy Birthday, You Make My Heart Smile).

 

 This is the closed view of my shaker card.

 Here you can see the construction of the shaker window. I used two acetate squares cut from Die #1, two white window frames using Die #1 and #2. To create the depth for the shaker card inset I die cut a piece of craft foam using die #1 and #2 together and then cut off the center grid leaving just a craft foam square which I adhered to the first piece of acetate.

 To create my Autumn Tree I used our new Multi-Step Seasonal Clear Stamps and sentiments from Large Oval Celebrations Clear Stamps

Tutorial Tuesday Altered Chalkboard with Heidi Blankenship

For Tutorial Tuesday, JustRite Papercraft Designer Heidi Blankenship shares a DIY Embellished Chalkboard that would be perfect for gift giving.  This is a quick, easy, and inexpensive gift to create in time for the holidays.

Before we get started with today's tutorial we need to Congratulate S. Patterson,who is the winner of last week's Tutorial Tuesday Giveaway- a $25.00 Gift Certificate to the JustRite Website.   Thanks for leaving Darseie a comment on YouTube.

 

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

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

  

Instructions:

I used Tim Holtz Distress Stain Vintage Photo to cover up the raw wood on the easel.  Instead of spraying the stain I used a paint brush to apply it directly to the wood.   Then I set the easel aside to dry.

To create the embellishments for my Count Down to Christmas Chalkboard I used the these stamps- Appliqué Christmas Labels One Clear Stamps, CR-02024 Christmas Stitched with Love Clear Stamps and their coordinating SVG'S - SVG Appliqué Christmas Labels One Cut File Digital Download for CR-02026, SVG Christmas Stitched with Love Vintage Labels Seven Digital Cut File Download for CR-02024
and JustRite JB-04895 Vintage Labels Seven Dies.

I used Spectrum Noir™ Markers to color the images. These are the colors for the snowman-Body IB1, Scarf TB1, TB4, Nose OR2, OR3, Cheeks PP1.For the hat I used GG3, GG5, TB1, LG5, DR4, for the twig arms I used EB3 and for the holly leaves I used LG5, JG5.

To assemble the Christmas embellishment first I used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to adhere the twig arms to the snowman. Next I added 3D Foam Squares to the back of all the cutouts and placed them as shown.  Then I added a magnet to the front of the chalkboard and the back of the embellishment.  To finish off the Christmas embellishment I added some large red bling to look like berries.

Here is a quick tip--When creating several cutouts to keep for extras put a little X on the backside so when you go to stamp you will know at a quick glance which side is the front.

I used the Offset files for all of the cutouts I created for the project.  I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black  ink.

Day Two with Guest Designer Michelle Woerner

Welcome to Day Two with Guest Designer Michelle Woerner. Today Michelle is sharing a fun birthday card.

Here's Michelle.....

Every once in awhile I like to shake things up and make a kraft based card.  I think stamped images, like the gorgeous flower from the Mum Cling Stamps , really pop on a kraft background!

 

Instructions:

1. Stamp flower image onto kraft cardstock, color and trim cardstock to the size of your card front, leaving a 1/8” at the top and bottom

2. Trim patterned paper strips and adhere to the top and bottom

3. Using border punch, create scalloped border from lavender cardstock, trim and adhere along the bottom

4. Cover seam with black velvet ribbon.

5. Next, trim kraft cardstock into ribbon strips, adhere a small lavender piece and some velvet ribbon making an accent piece

6. Tie silk ribbon into a double bow and tie button around center; adhere over the top of the accent piece

7. Stamp sentiment on white cardstock, die cut into circle shape, adhere and trim off right edge.

8. Adhere panel to white card base using foam squares.

9. Add rhinestone accents

 

I love to play around with scraps to make accent features!  Here I used some cardstock scraps to make a coordinating banner at the top left corner.

Did you notice my original flower had white gel pen highlights?  After finishing my card, I decided I didn’t like them, so I figured a way to cover them up.

 

I restamped the top of the flower, colored and fussy cut it out large enough to cover all the white accents!

A tip for making your fussy cut edges look uniform and clean is to use a marker and ink the edges.  For my cut piece, I used the “middle” shade of yellow.  Then adhere it over the flower using foam squares.

 

Supplies:

JustRite® Papercraft Stamps: Mum Clings Stamps

Spellbinders® Paper Arts: Standard Circles SM, Grand Calibur®

Ink/Markers: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers in Y06, Y19, Y38,YG67, YG97

Bazzill Basics Paper®: Card shoppe Cardstock in Sour Grape and Marshmallow; Kraft cardstock

Adhesives: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ 3D Foam Squares, Tombow USA Mono Multi liquid glue

Other Supplies: May Arts ¼” lavender silk and 1/8” black velvet ribbons, White gel pen, clear rhinestones, black button, black and white striped patterned paper 

 
Thanks for stopping by today!  Join us tomorrow for Day Three with Michelle Woerner.

Hi everyone!  It’s Michelle Woerner here and I am very excited to be this Week's Guest Designer!  I’ve been a huge fan of JustRite Papercrafts for years now and jumped at the opportunity to work with Kellie and her amazing team this month. 

I’ve made two cards for you today.  With fall upon us, I couldn’t resist using the adorable pumpkin images from the Fall Appliqué stamp set!

3. Adhere ribbon strip across the panel tuck and adhere ends behind.

4. Adhere panel to card front using foam squares.

5. Stamp, color and cut out pumpkin images and adhere using foam squares.

6. Stamp sentiment on pattern paper tag and adhere using foam squares.

7. Add bow to the left of pumpkins and stickles accents to the pumpkin stem and vines.

 

Here are some pictures showing how I colored the pumpkins.

I am not an expert at coloring, so I wanted to share what I think is the easiest and fastest way to color them.

  

1.Stamp pumpkin image
2.Color the pumpkin centers with the YR1

3. Color leaf outline with G99

Day Three with Guest Designer Alice Carman

I liked to extend a Special Thank you to Alice Carman for joining us this week as our guest designer.  It was so much fun Alice to see what you created with our October Release.

If you liked to continue to enjoy Alice's work you can find her at Cards by Alice.

Now here's Alice...

I like to repeat my stamps when I create to make my own back grounds.  In this design I wanted to use the flower from the Mum Cling Stamp Set, but I didn’t want the stem so I covered the stem image on the stamp with a post it note and inked only the flower.

Because I stamped on white cardstock, I used a light blue (BG000- Copic Marker) to color in the open spaces between the flowers.

Then I only highlighted the flowers randomly by coloring shaded areas of the flower, leaving one flower untouched.  On a separate piece of paper I stamped the flower again and colored.  Next, I fussy cut the image and using foam dots I adhered it to the flower I didn’t color.  I also used a white pen to go back to highlight areas of the flowers.

In this design I started off with Crackle Cling Background Stamp.  This stamp reminds me of a vintage wood fence with white paint that has cracked over time so I stamped the image twice and created a few panels to look like planks on a picket fence. 

To give the planks some depth I inked the edges and used foam dots to adhere. 

Supplies:
JustRite Papercraft Stamps:Mums Cling  Stamp,  Crackle Cling Background Stamp. 
Markers: Copic: Y02, Y13, Y15,YR15 BG000
Ink: Memento: Rich Cocoa, White Pen
Cardstock: Dark Brown and White

Thank you JustRite Stamps for your generosity and for sharing my art with you these past few days.  It’s been super fun being here!

Thanks so much...Alice Carmen.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Pop in tomorrow morning to see the winners of our Christmas Linky Party.

Oak Leaves Happy Birthday

Christmas Card Chalkboard Tuesday Tutorial with Heidi Blankenship

Guest Designer Alice Carman - Give Thanks

We are so excited to have Alice Carman guest designing for us for the next three days. I can't wait for you to see all the gorgeous projects she has created using stamps from our October Release.  I encourage you to also visit Alice's blog - Card's by Alice to see all the yummy projects that Alice has created. 

Now here's Alice.....

Thank you for inviting me as the Guest Designer this week.  I was so inspired by the stamps I received and here’s what I created for my first day. I used JustRite’s Oak Leaves Cling Stamp to create the background paper and to use as the main focus of this card.  I stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto Kraft Paper.

Next I stamped my leave onto watercolor paper. Water coloring is the rage right now so I used a water brush and distress inks (Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Gathered Twigs) to blend in colors for the leaves.  I wanted the colored leaves to really pop on my card so I added a white stitched pocket to my background paper (which also gave me a perfect spot to stamp my sentiment). I distressed the edges of my pocket to make it blend it beautifully with my background.

I used a white pen to create faux stitching around the card to give it a country appeal and distress inks to age it a bit.  You can always add some glitter to give it that extra glam, but I like the distress look for this card. I hope you enjoyed it. 

Supplies: 
JustRite Stamps: Oak Leaf Cling Stamps
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Gathered Twigs, Memento: Rich Cocoa
Paper: Water Color Paper, Cardstock: Kraft and White
Accessories: Water Color Brush,White Pen
