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.

JustRite Challenge #077

Hello Everyone,

Sorry, I haven't been around for awhile, but I've been in such a crafting funk. I just couldn't find the energy or desire to create anything. But, fortunately I didn't loose the desire to buy more crafting supplies. To pull myself out of this funk, I decided to join in on JustRite's "Tag You're It" Challenge. For this challenge, we have to Create a custom tag or use a tag in your project.  Well, I've always had a difficult time creating tags, I don't know why, but they never turn out the way I hoped.  You may also remember me saying this year I would be trying new techniquest, and get out of my comfort zone with my crafts.  Well I've kept my resolution and tried something with this tag. Can you guess the new technique I tried? Well here's my tag for the "Tag You're It" challenge".

Well to start off, I distressed and inked the edges of the base tag and patterned paper.

The sentiment and frame were stamped with JustRite stamps and cutout with a Spellbinders' die. I also stamped the tiny butterflies (with JustRite stamps) onto patterned paper and fussy cut them out by hand.  I dyed some trim to match the patterned paper. The flower and leaves were made using some Spellbinders' dies.

 If you guessed that the new technique I tried was the stick pin, you were right. I was inspired by Becca Feeken who sent me a set of her beautiful pins that I won on her blog.  After seeing a tutorial by Sabrina on the Our Daily Bread blog, I finally tried making some. I found that the pins were so fun and simple to make. Thank you Becca and Sabrina for being such an inspiration.

The two larger flowers and leaves were made using dies. I purchased the three smaller flower and the pearl spray.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you liked my tag.  Hopefully my crafting funk is completely over soon. I miss crafting and sharing my projects with all of you.

I'll blog with you later, and have a blessed day.
Hugs,
Regina
