Day Two with Guest Designer Robin Parker

A Special Thank You to Robin Parker for joining us this week as a guest designer.  It was so much fun seeing Robin create bouquets with Amy's Floral Designs.  You can follow Robin on her blog Robins Creative Nest to see more of her beautiful projects.

Here is Robin.....
 
Today I have another 3-D Floral Creation using Sentimental Flowers by JustRite Papercrafts.



I stamped the long leafy floral stamp four times and colored them with Copic markers. I cut them all apart and laid them in a pretty floral arrangement.

The sentiment is from this same set that I stamped onto Classic Ovals. The basket was made with an embossing folder Cane Weave, using Classic Circles and cut in half . The background die is retired and all of these are from Spellbinders Paper Arts.

Next, I used pop dots to lift the flowers and basket to give them the 3-D effect. Finally I added yellow pearls to the centers of flowers, matted with a golden yellow and glued to green cardstock.

 

Project Recipe:

Dies: Spellbinders Paper Arts Cane Weave, Classic Oval and Classic Circles
Paper: Bazzil White, Tan, Golden Yellow and Green

3D Florals with Guest Designer Robin Parker

This week we are excited to have Robin Parker joining us as a guest designer. Robin will be showing you how to create 3D Floral cards today and tomorrow.  Before we get started with her post, I have a quick sale announcement.  Save 25% off all JustRite Clear Stamp Sets. Sale ends Tuesday March 24th at midnight. Have fun shopping.



Here's Robin ----I am thrilled to have been asked to be Guest Designer for today and tomorrow for JustRite Papercrafts. Spring is just around the corner and I wanted to make a creation with one of the many floral stamps sets.

The creation for today is to take one floral stamp and make it 3-D. I used Circle of Love Vintage Labels Three.


I stamped this bunch of flowers eight times, colored with Copic markers and cut four of them all apart. Next I rolled them with a stylus to make the petals look real.

The background is an embossing folder Framed Canvas by Spellbinders Paper Arts on white cardstock. I added a Want 2 Scrap Nestabling Labels Twenty to the background.

Then I glued down the four bunches of flowers you didn't cut apart, all facing outwards. The sentiment is Graceful Sentiments by JustRite Papercrafts. I curved my sentiment with a pencil and laid it down over the center of the flowers to hide the stems. Next, I started to glue down the flowers with pop dots to give them a lift and make them 3-D.

Finally I added pink pearls to the center of my flowers, added a pink matte and glued down on soft green cardstock.

See you tomorrow for another 3-D floral creation!!

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

4. Adhere panel to card front using foam squares.

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

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.

Day Two with guest designer Alice Carman

We so excited to have Alice Carman joining us this week as a guest designer.  Today Alice will be sharing a different take on watercoloring. Alice is sharing two projects with us today.

Here is Alice...

Whenever I get to work with new product, I like to play with it.  I stamp and stamp until I get the right look and sometimes I make mistakes that turn out to be super-duper cool.  Believe it or not, but this card was a mistake, but I loved the way it turned out so here I am sharing it with you today.

 

 To create my first card for today, I started by stamping on to water color paper using chalk inks. For this card I am using images from Colorful Brush Strokes Clear Stamps. Next I used a baby wipe and wiped across the card, which gave my background this cool swish feel since the baby wipe smeared the paint swatches.   Note that I didn't stamp my  my sentiment until after I had used the baby wipe as I didn't want my sentiment to  smear. 

Here is a close up of my card.

I made an additional card using Bokeh Time Clear Stamp.  This set was so versatile, which I like very much.  I tend to mix my stamps with other sets when I design.  How super genius of JustRite to create a stamp set with the gradual sizing of the hearts, circles and stars.  It’s a perfect idea when you want to add those extra touches!

 

I’m not sure what you call this look, but it’s fun to create something new.  I started off with a base card, A2 size.  Then I folded the cover in half, turned over the card and did the same with the backside.  Then I ran the card into my die cut machine using a circle die on the front side card only.

I finished the card by stamping my sentiment on the inside of my card in the center of the circle die. Then I used the different size diamonds to stamp the cover of the card in different colors and outlined them with a white pen to define the images. Quick and simple!

Supplies For Creativity Card:

JustRite Papercraft Stamps: Colorful Brush Strokes Clear Stamps
Prima Quick Dry Chalk: Vintage Pink, Attic Dust, Colts Foot Stemens and Teal Damask
Memento: Tuxedo Black
Cardstock: Black
Accessories: Stipple Brush

Supplies for Amazing Too Card:

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

   

Day Three with guest designer Sherry Cheever

A Special Thank You to Sherry Cheever for sharing her papercrafting talent with us here this week on the JustRite Blog.  Hope you all enjoyed Sherry's projects as much as we did.  You can find more of Sherry's work weekly on her blog Walkin' on the BAD Side!

Hey y’all! Sherry Cheever here with my final project. Before I begin, let me once again say how excited and honored I’ve been to be a Guest Designer this week . . . thank you so very much Kellie! For today’s project I’m using Justrite Papercraft Butterfly Dreams.

 

The card is a 5-1/2” square, using cream cardstock as the base. I dug through my paper stash and found and old stack of designer paper, that I used for the layers, flowers and frame. The background papers were distressed with scissors, sponged with linen ink, then stitched to another cream background. The seam binding ribbon was dyed with the same linen ink.

 

The sentiment was stamped in gray then die cut/embossed with Spellbinders Small Ovals. The frame around the sentiment was made by gluing some of the designer paper to chipboard, then die cutting with Spellbinders Opulent Ovals. The edges of the frame were sponged with the same gray ink as the sentiment. The flowers were made from more coordinating paper using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms, and the butterfly was die cut with Butterfly Corners.

 

Once again, it’s been my pleasure to be here with you with this week. Thanks for joining me.

Project Supplies:
JustRite Papercrafts: Butterfly Dreams
Spellbinders: S5-086 Bitty Blossoms; S4-430 Foliage Flourish; S5-165 Butterfly Corner; S4-112 Classic Ovals SM; S5-160 Opulent Ovals

Day Two with Guest Designer Sherry Cheaver

Welcome to day two with guest designer Sherry Cheever .  Sherry has a gorgeous vintage card to share with us today.

Good Morning! Sherry Cheever here again today with another project, this time using the JustRite Papercraft Rose Postcard Background. When I first saw this stamp, my mind automatically went into vintage/distress mode with lots of layers.

 The image was stamped on watercolor paper in black pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. Reinkers in different shades of orange and green were used to watercolor the image. The butterfly was stamped twice and water colored in light purples and blues.

 

The edges of the image, as well as all the other background papers, were distressed with scissors and then sponged with linen ink. A frame for the image was made by gluing a piece of coordinating paper to chipboard, then die cutting it with Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight. The seam binding ribbon was dyed with the same dark green used for water coloring the leaves in the image. The card base and background layer were die cut with Spellbinders Grand Squares. The edges were sponged with linen ink.

Day One with Sherry Cheever - Just A Note Clear Stamps

For the next three days sit back and enjoy projects from this week's guest designer Sherry Cheever.  You are going to love what she has designed for us this week.

Hello! Sherry Cheever here today and I’m very honored and excited to be the Guest Designer for JustRite Papercraft this week. My first project uses Just A Note Vintage Sentiment Tags in Spring colors, because I’m so tired of cold and snowy weather.

 

When I first saw this stamp set, I immediately thought of the faux batik technique and knew that is how I wanted to use this set. A piece of watercolor paper was die cut/embossed with Spellbinders 5x7 Matting Basics A. While the paper was still in the die, the fountain pens were stamped randomly on the background in VersaMark and then embossed in clear. Using the wrinkle free distress technique the background (and the card base) were colored in pink, blue and green inks. Once dry, the clear embossing was removed with an iron, creating the faux batik.


The background was inserted back into the die template and the edges were lightly sponged with linen ink.

 

The sentiment “hello” was stamped in olive on a scrap piece of the background paper and then die cut/embossed with Spellbinders Framed Tags One. The sentiment was trimmed away and mounted with foam on another piece of white that was also die cut/embossed with the same die templates. The seam binding ribbon was dyed with a combination of the blue and green inks. A white panel was die cut/embossed from watercolor paper using Spellbinders 5x7 Detailed Scallops, to separate the two wrinkle free distress panels.

 

More information on the techniques used can be found on the tutorial page of my blog, Walkin’ on the BAD Side!
