Here's a quick and easy card for you to create when you are in a hurry! I created my background using gelatos and a baby wipe, and you can see the full technique HERE! Once my background was how I liked it, I stamped JustRite Papercraft's Sweet Lace Background with Black StazOn ink onto it. I left a portion blank so I could add my sentiment from Large Fancy Sentiments. I finished the pretty card with black seam binding and a pretty Prima Rose! It's as simple as that!

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store has quite a large selection of JustRite Papercraft Background Stamps on sale, some as low as $11.01 and there are Christmas Background stamps priced at $9.71!! These stamps are so versatile, and now is the time to grab a few before they are gone!!

Samantha Walker & JustRite Papercraft Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Samantha Walker and JustRite Papercraft Blog Hop where we are showcasing new stamp sets released by the ever so talented Samantha Walker! I'm particularly excited because my sets I am using today are for Halloween. If anyone knows me, they will know that I just love, love, love Halloween!

I've created a fun Halloween ensemble for you today using the Spider Web Background stamp with Boo-tiful Cameos!  Look at how fun this is!! I've made a little pocket to tuck a decorated Hershey bar in, and it will make a great gift for teacher's, babysitters, and more. I simply cut two of Spellbinders® Paper Arts Labels Twenty-Nine (the largest die), stamped the web background on one, then folded an edge on the other, stamped it with "Eek", then glued them together. It's that easy!! Wrap your candy bar with a piece of patterned paper sized 5 1/2 x 6 inches, then tie a darling tag with JustRite Papercraft Nested Medallion Labels Dies.

My candle is just as easy to create! Stamp the Spider Web Background with black StazOn ink onto tissue paper and apply it to the candle with a heat gun. Stamp your sentiment with Versamark onto black cardstock, then emboss with white powder. Trim it, then tie it to the candle, attach a glittery spider, and you are finished!

Let the beauty ...

I had a fabulous time in Virginia, demoing at A Happy Stamper's Stamp store with JustRite Papercraft! I spent the weekend meeting wonderful crafters, then enjoyed the evenings with my brothers! Lots of laughter, fun and cooking! I cooked up a mess of food and put it in my brother's freezer!! He'll be set for a while with "Mom" food, I'm thinking!

When I got back, I had time to whip up a pretty tag using JustRite® Papercraft's Vintage Wallpaper background stamp along with a lovely sentiment from Amazing Paper Grace Stamps by Becca Feeken!  I stamped my background stamp on cardstock then used Spellbinders® Paper Arts Spiral Blossom One and created a pretty rose for my main focal embellishment. I added Jewel Flowers & Flourishes and Foliage with a bit of vintage lace and a fluffy silk bow from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store to finish it off!!

Happy Father's Day...

Happy Father's Day to my Daddy in Heaven! I love and miss you so much!

Friend...

I created this multi-layered card using Spellbinders® Paper Arts Jewel Flowers & Flourishes along with Vintage Lace Motifs as the focal point of the card. I used the main larger flower and layered it several times, then curled the petals inward to make a pretty chrysanthemum! My shaped card uses Labels Twenty-Eight and my sentiment is from JustRite Papercraft Just the Right Words designed by Becca Feeken! Of course, I had to finish it off with a luxurious silk bow using silk ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!
