JustRite Friday Challenge #087

Hello Fellow Crafters,

Well I'm here with JustRite Friday Challenge #087 "Picture This". For this challenge, we have to use a photo in our projects, and JustRite Stamps, of course. So I decided to catch up on some of my, much neglected, scrapbooking. This is my son's kindergarten year, and he has already taken quite a few school pictures. So I started my scrapbooking with his Christmas photo.

Of course I couldn't help myself, so I used my dies to make some more poinsettias. This has turned out to be one of my favorite dies. The poinsettias are just too easy to make, and they always turn out great.  I stamped the ornament onto crafting foam and cut them out using the coordinating dies.

 

 

The photo mount, scalloped circle and foliage were created with dies. 

 

 

I distress, tore and inked to edges, and placed a small ornament behind the opening.



 

I stamped the sentiment onto a die cut and placed it behind the photo mat.

 

I cut a die cut in half and placed it in the top and bottom corner behind the top background paper just to add another dimension to the layout.

Well that's it for me. I have a few more projects to work on before Christmas. Have a Blessed day, and will blog with you later.

Hugs,
Regina

JustRite Friday Challenge #086

Hello,

Today's card is another for the JustRite Challenge #086. For this challenge were to use jewel tone papers and accessories and use any colors (or similar) from the inspiration photo in your project.

I don't know why, but I always have a difficult time using jewel tones, and this project was no exception. I tried so many different color combinations and these are the colors I finally used.

 

I didn't have any jewel tone pattern papers, so I decided to make my own.  I stamped the background with a small ornament stamp with StazOn metallic ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

I stamped the largest ornament 5 times, die cut with Spellbinders dies, folded them in half, and glued together to give the card some dimension.

The ribbon was made using seam binding and reinkers. I used a pre-made flower from my stash and colored it to match the ribbon using a reinker.

Well that's it for me. I have 20 Christmas cards to finish before the end of the week. Have a fabulous week and I'll blog with you later.

Hugs,
Regina

JustRite Friday Challenge #085

Hello everyone,

Today I have another project that I made for the JustRite Friday Challenge #085. For this challenge we're to create Holiday projects and we're required to use at least 2 die cut elements on ourHoliday projects and we MUST use JustRite Stamps.

Well I needed to get my son's teachers gifts done, so I used this challenge and  made two treat boxes. I used the directions for making Tea Boxes that I found here, and altered the boxes a bit to suit my needs.

To began this project made all my poinsettias using Spellbinders dies.

 

I die cut the shapes in to the boxes using Spellbinders dies. I stamped the label and the tee o to clear plastic  and mounted onto the back of the box. A sheet of white paper was put into the boxes to the images could be seen clearly.

To create the charms, I stamped my images and sentiment onto shrink plastic with Stazon. Once the image was dry, I punched the hole and used my heat gun the shrink the plastic. I really love the way these little charms turned out.

Just in case you were curious. Spellbinder dies with the Grand Caliber will cut shrink plastic in one pass and with no problem.

All of the poinsettias and foliage were made using Spellbinder die, but the white flowers were some I purchased. I also made the pins.

 

Here you can see the top of the boxes with the poinsettias and pins.

 

 

And, here's a view of the side of the boxes.

Well that's all for me. I still need to make two more boxes. Hopefully I'll be able to get them done before this challenge is over.  If not, I'll just post them later. Thanks for stopping by. I'll blog with you later.

Have a Blessed day
Hugs,
Regina

JustRite Friday Challenge #084

Hello Everyone,

I'm here with another card I created for the JustRite Friday Challenge #084 - Flower Power. For this challenge we were to pull out those flowers and use at least 3 flower embellishments in our projects. The flowers could be bought or handmade. So I handmade my flowers, one of my many crafting loves.

For this card I decided to pull out my Martha Stewart punches and use them again (they've been neglected a bit lately). I punched out a 6x6 square to make a frame for the card, the center card is 4x4.

I used my favorite Spellbinders dies to create the flowers. The largest flower was made using the same paper that I used on the punched frame.

  The 3 medallions were stamped and cut out using JustRite stamps and dies.

Well that's all for me. Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fabulously blessed day and I'll blog with you later.

Hugs,
Regina

JustRite Friday Challenge #083

Hello Crafters,

Today, I made a "Thank You" card to send to someone who's generosity meant more to me than they could have even image. Instead of sending an email to say thank you, I wanted to make a card to let them just how much their gift meant. So I created this card and matching box to send.  

 

Using the requirements for the JustRite Friday's Challenge #083, to use 3 coordinating patterned papers, to create this gift set. The box was made using the directions from a Stamps TV tutorial. I like that this box opens from the top.

Hugs,
Regina
