Happy Anniversary-JustRite!

Good morning and happy weekend to you!  I still have a couple cards to show you from JustRite's January release.  For today's cards I used several new products from JustRite.  I used their new Heart and Frame dies.  I love the lacy and delicate look of this frame.  I stamped the sentiment and little flowers from the Sweet Flowers and Vines set.  I added a layer of glossy accents on top of it for a bit of dimension. 

I decided to add  a touch of silver with JustRite's newest addition, Tonic Glitter! 

They also carry puffy paints and I am having such a good time incorporating them into my cards! I used some silver paint in the corners to continue my accents of silver. 

It is hard to believe we are at the end of January already....time sure has a way of flying a bit too fast these days! My son is turning 19 and he is coming home today.  It will be so sweet to have both my kiddos with me.  

Have a wonderful day and be sure to check back tomorrow! I have one last JustRite card to share!

Love Birds!

Good morning! I am up on the SRM Blog today with a new set from Jane's Doodles called, Love Birds!  I think it is the sweetest set! I wanted a bit of moonlight behind my birds. (Because it's romantic to profess one's love in the moonlight right?) I punched a circle from a piece of scrap paper.  I used both the negative and positive pieces here.  I placed the circle in the middle of my paper and sponged shades of blue around it.  Then I took the negative piece, placed it over the paper, and sponged my yellow.  I went back with a dauber and sponged a bit of white around the moon.  I wanted a bit of sparkle, so I took a paint brush and a bit of glossy accents, and "painted" around the moon. I sprinkled a bit of glitter.

The birds were stamped on a separate piece of paper, as well as the hearts, sentiment, and tree branch.  All of it was colored with Copic markers.  Everything was fussy cut and glued in place over my moon.  I added glossy accents to the hearts, wings, and leaves and then sprinkled glitter.  I added Flower Soft to my tree branch. I added a doily behind the image for added sweetness.  ;) 

For my birds' bellies, I used a white gel pen.  I love how textural this card looks and feels.  It was one of those cards that I truly loved as soon as it was completed.  And believe me, lately this hasn't been happening too often! LOL!

The next few weeks are going to be an emotional ride as Cortney just got her "move-in" date yesterday. My feelings are a bit all over.  It will be a difficult transition for me as I've been her caregiver for so long.  She has been my shadow, my side-kick, my little partner in crime. My days are filled with her, and soon, my days will be quieter, emptier.  I will need to fill them up with something else. That will take time and some getting used to.

I appreciate all of your support and words of kindness. It helps immensely. :)

Butterfly Background Stamp-JustRite

Good morning! I hope you all had a great weekend!

I have another January JustRite release to share with you.  It is this incredible, gorgeous, butterfly background stamp.  It doesn't seem to matter how many butterfly products I have, they never get old!

I stamped it in Versamark and embossed it in white.  I gave it a rainbow water color wash using my Zig Clean Brush markers.  I stamped the 3 butterflies on a separate panel in coordinating colors. 

I stamped an additional butterfly in white on a piece of vellum.  I fussy cut it and adhered it to the center butterfly. 

I added silk ribbon and some gemstones to finish off the card. 

So glad you stopped by for a visit!

Lava Lamp!

Good morning! Today's post will be short! ;)
 I am up on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog today with this fun card! For all of the details, please head on over to their blog!

Have a  restful Sunday my friends!

Celebrate Life Shaker Card!

Good morning! It seems to be feast or famine with me these days! What is this? My third/fourth post in a row? ;) 
 I am up on the SRM Blog today with a fun shaker card. I cut three hearts out and set those aside for a future project.  I inked the heart panel in shades of pink, orange, and yellow.  I glued a piece of acetate behind hearts and let it dry.

The piece under the hearts was water colored in coordinating colors.  I placed Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty foam tape around each heart andI snuck sequins in there before adhering.  I glued tiny cupcakes topped with rhinestones for the centers of each heart. 

I added a sentiment from SRM Stickers from the Life is Good collection.  I also added silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Store and a rhinestone as a finishing touch. 

Thank you for stopping by!

I will be back this weekend with more JustRite projects!  

(See?  Told ya!  FEAST! LOL!)

Justrite Multi-Step Don't Forget Bouquet

Hey there!  

I have another card to share with you today using a new set from JustRite.  This one is called, Don't Forget Bouquet.   I stamped the image using Versamark and then embossed it in white on water color paper.  I used my Zig Clean Brush markers.  

I am loving JustRite's new line of dimensional paints.  I added some dots to the hearts for extra depth.  The sentiment was handwritten with silver puffy paint and sprinkled with silver glitter.  I was afraid of messing up my card, so I wrote it on a piece of acetate and when it was dry, peeled it off and then glued it to my card.  

For a finishing touch I tied silver string into a bow.  I love leaving the "tails" long and flowy.  ;)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I truly appreciate your visits!

January Release From JustRite-Sweet Flowers and Vines

Good morning my crafty friends!  It is the start of JustRite's January release! I am excited to share lots of projects with you! 

My first card is a coffee cup card.  I found this image over at the Silhouette store.  

I created a shaker element using a heart die.  I glued acetate on the back.  I cut an extra coffee cup piece, used dimensional foam tape to adhere it to the back, after adding beads and sequins.  If you look closely there are 3 layers of coffee.  Rather than boring old coffee, I wanted a cappuccino. ;) I hand cut a piece of paper in the shape of the "froth", added liquid applique, and right after heating it with my heat gun, sprinkled glitter on top of it.  I took advantage of the 2 layers to create the shaker, and simply slid the "frothy" piece between them and glued it in place. 

I water colored a flower and used a gorgeous new vine die from JustRite.  The sentiment is part of the brand new set called, Sweet Flowers and Vines. 

And as a last finishing touch I added dots around the perimeter of the heart and select areas of the cup using JustRite's new line of puffy paints! 

I wouldn't be a good crafter if I didn't do a little enabling! ;) But you better move quick on this one, the sale ends today at 3PM! 

Be sure to stop by the JustRite blog to find more inspiration from the design team!

Have a great day!
