Holly Jolly...

Hi everyone! Today I have a quick "no stamping" card for you, using non-traditional colors from a paper pad by Basic Grey called "Evergreen". I paired it with Spellbinders® Paper Arts Frosty Forms and Holly Twigs and Leaves, and the card was finished before I knew it! ~ Enjoy!

12 Days of a CAS Christmas...

Hi everyone! Today begins The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store 12 Days of a Clean & Simple Christmas, a yearly event that we look forward to with much anticipation. The design team gets to play with all the new products out for this Christmas season – paper, stamps, dies, embossing folders, ribbon and embellishments – and it’s our goal to bring them to you in a clean and simple fashion. After all, who doesn’t LOVE and NEED clean and simple as we prepare for the holidays. 
And, that being said, the styles of the various Design Team members varies greatly, ranging from truly clean and simple to a clean and simple version of typically elaborate work. So be prepared to see a wide range of “clean and simple” throughout these next 12 days. The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store blog will be posting projects both morning and evening to pack in just as much as inspiration as we can.

My Clean and Simple Christmas card utilizes a new die template set from Spellbinders® Paper Arts called Heirloom Reflections and I paired it with Labels Twenty-Eight. ~ Enjoy!

Spellbinders Explore Beyond: Sneak Peek and Giveaway!

Welcome to the first day of the Spellbinders Paper Arts™ Explore Beyond: Sneak Peek and Giveaway! I am so excited to showcase some of the newest die templates being released at the Winter 2013 Craft and Hobby Association trade show! You will have the chance to win the new die templates I have used by entering the contest at the bottom of this post. Join me and Amazing Paper Grace Becca Feeken as we kick start this fabulous Sneak Peek Event!

I’ve created two projects for you so that you can see the amazing versatility of the Spellbinders dies. Whether you are just learning to papercraft or you are an advanced artist, Spellbinders die templates will stretch your imagination! Always explore beyond your dreams and your artwork will be amazing!

I am showcasing Spellbinders newest die templates: Enchanted Labels Twenty-Eight, and 5x7 Matting Basics A & B!

My first project was fashioned after an old bible I purchased in an antique store years ago. I love the intricate layers and gold embossing on it, so I tried to re-create that look with the die templates I am using:

Supply List:

Cross Promotional Partners

To make the book you will also need:
  • Pasta machine or hand roller
  • Sculpey Ultra Light Oven Bake Clay – White
  • Tablespoon of Flour or Talc
  • Wax Paper
  • Paint Brush
  • Black Acrylic Paint
  • Amaco Rub ‘n Buff Gold Leaf Wax Metallic Paste
  • Recollections Gold Rhinestones
  • 7 ¼ x 10 ¼ Journal

Instructions:

  • With pasta machine or hand roller, roll clay to 1/8 inch thickness to accommodate all 3 sizes of the Enchanted Labels Twenty-Eight die templates. Place clay on wax paper.
  • With pasta machine or hand roller, roll clay to 1/8 inch thickness to accommodate 5x7 Matting Basics A #5 (with #1 being the smallest die template in the set). Place clay on wax paper. You’ll make 2 of these.
  • Dust the die templates with flour or talc, then place face down onto clay. Push each die template into clay until you get a deep impression. Remove wax paper.
  • Arrange templates with clay on a baking sheet and bake clay according to manufacturer’s instructions and allow to cool. Dies will be hot, so use caution when removing from the oven.
  • Once cooled, carefully removed clay from die templates. This clay when baked is flexible, and will not break while you remove it from the templates. Wash your templates once all the clay pieces have been removed. 
  • Adhere clay pieces on top of journal cover with glue, then cover entire journal and clay pieces with black acrylic paint.
    • Squeeze a small dollop of Gold paste onto scrap paper and touch your forefinger to it. Wipe off extra onto the scrap paper. You only want a small amount on your finger as the paste goes a long way.
    • Rub gold paste onto clay pieces and book edges until you are happy with the results.

    •  Add rhinestones and silk ribbon to book and if desired, rub gold paste on page edges. Allow to dry thoroughly.

    Here is another project I created with Enchanted Labels Twenty-Eight and 5x7 Matting Basics A & B:

    As you can see, I first embossed 5x7 Matting Basics B #7 on Bazzill Basics Paper® Tan cardstock. Next, I cut/embossed and stenciled Enchanted Labels Twenty-Eight #3 using Aqua cardstock and adhered it to my card. Cut and emboss Enchanted Labels Twenty-Eight #2 and add pop dots to the back, then add to card. Cut/emboss 5x7 Matting Basics A #1, #2, and #4 with 5x7 Matting Basics B #4 from patterned paper. Layer pieces to card, as shown in the photo above.

    My sentiment is from JustRite® Papercraft’s Large Fancy Sentiments clear stamp set. All of my layered pieces were cut from Basic Grey’s Lucille Collection patterned paper. My layers are popped up using SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L™ White Foam Dots and I finished the card with KaiserCraft pearls, and a pretty May Arts silk ribbon bow.
