Petaloo and JustRite Papercrafts Blog Hop Week

Today is a very exciting day for me.  I get to show you my projects for the Petaloo/JustRite Papercrafts blog hop.  I really got into these two projects.  You know how things just click sometimes.   Well I am just giving you a sneak peek on my blog so you will have to go to the Petaloo blog for more details on how I created the card and tag.  I've got a very special tutorial on how I made the background for the tag too.  

So hop on over there and check it all out.  Another great reason to go to the blog, is that Petaloo and JustRite Papercrafts are giving away some great prizes.  Everyone loves free giveaways right?

 

I have been crafting away, day and night, making all kinds of wonderful things so my blog may seem a little neglected but as soon as I get the go ahead from the design teams I am on, I will be sure to share everything for you.

Also working on another Simply Scrapbook Pages double page layout kit, so that will be releasing next week.

Until then have a great week and be crafty!!

Simon Says Stamp Challenge Day- Christmas Card No Red or Green

Usually, I make my Christmas cards in traditional red and green colors but this week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog has made me shake things up a bit.  I thoroughly enjoyed creating this Christmas card using the colors pink and blue.

The paper on my card is from Cosmo Cricket's Delovely line.  I used 3 different papers from the 6x6 pad. After I colored my Magnolia image, Mistletoe Tilda, with Copic markers I cut it out using my Spellbinder's die Label 4.  Then I adhered it to some dark pink cardstock and hand cut out a small border around the shape.  

The flowers are from Petaloo's wedding collection and one of them I colored pink with my RV04 Copic marker and airbrush system.

For my sentiment I used a Just Rite Stamper and then cut it out with some circle punches from EK Success.

Each week the challenge is sponsored by my favorite online stamp store, Simon Says Stamp. For each week in December Simon Says Stamp is doubling their usual prize to a

$50 gift certificate

to their store.  Wow!!  What a prize!!  All you need to do is create a card using the challenge guidelines and then upload it to your blog or online gallery and leave a link on this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog post.

 

 

World Card Making Day Card Class

Here is one of my cards that I created for my class at Scrapbook Mania on World Card Making Day.  I forgot to take pictures of the other two but I will and post them later.  I used some new JustRite Stampers on all three of my cards.  This set is my favorite I think.  I love the little images and there are so many things that you can do with them.  I think that I will make some Magnet Buttons for gifts and stocking stuffers this year.  The stamps are the perfect size.  Be sure to stop by Scrapbook Mania to pick up your own JustRite Stampers stamp sets.

The papers that I used were from The Girls Paperie.  I love their new Christmas line.  I am thinking of creating a mini book with it.  I also got some of the fun embellishments so I bet it will be really cute.

I also got this new stamp set from the same line.  I can't wait to ink it up!

 
 

Bo Bunny Blop Hop Winner

I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments that were left for the Bo Bunny blog hop.  I always have so much fun reading your responses.  It seems as if most people like to do some kind of outdoor activities and would be able to use the Roughin' It line by Bo Bunny in their scrapbook layouts.  So the randomly picked winner of the blog candy is number 51

I love the roughin it line - it was my favorite from that release. I grew up camping at every opportunity my family could find. We camped and hiked our summers all over Western Canada and NW USA. The memories I have are the best and I can not wait to share similar memories with my own young family.

Carrie, please contact me with your snail mail address.

Now on to a new card for today.  If you haven't tried a Just Rite Stamp before you really should.  They are awesome, fun to use stamps that have customizable features to them.  They come with outer rings and inner rings and those can be mixed and matched.  I have quite a few Just Rite Stampers sets.  They come in ovals, circles, squares, and now rectangular shapes.

For this card I stamped my image, colored it in with my Copic Markers and then cut it out using my Spellbinders dies. 

 

 

I've got some new things listed in my Etsy shop.  Please take a look at the side bar to see what I uploaded today.  I plan on adding many more things this week.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day and took some time to remember why we celebrate this day.  Thank you to all those that have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice.  You and your families will be forever remembered and appreciated.

 

Petaloo and JustRite Stampers

Wow, what a combination.  Petaloo and JustRite Stampers.  Two of my favorite things to use when I create.

This little wire basket and jelly jar just makes my heart happy.  I love the soft vintage feel of the flowers and the jar.  

These Petaloo flowers are just amazing.  They are so soft and pretty.  Perfect for this vintage look.

 

 

The Just Rite Flower stamp is the perfect embellishment for the top of the jar.  

 

I love how the stamp image has a large bow around the flower stems just like the basket and jar.  

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!
