Miss You...

Welcome to Day One of JustRite Papercraft's December Release.  This month we are releasing 7 stamp sets and 2 new custom dies.  Today, we are introducing a clever new background stamp Time Flies Cling Background Stamp with a coordinating clear stamp set called Timely Banners Clear Stamps.

I've used the Timely Banners sentiment to follow the path of Spellbinders Paper Arts® A2 Curved Borders One. It's so easy position the clear stamp on the acrylic block so that it will follow the curve. ~Enjoy!

Fancy Potpourri Lantern...

I am back from the Spellbinders Retreat, feeling thankful and inspired! It was an amazing experience meeting all the design teams and trying to absorb just a small amount of their incredible talent! Lots of photos were taken and shared on Facebook! One day I'll show you what I look like as a "nerd". That's right, we had "Nerd Night", and it was so much fun. 

I created this pretty project a while ago, but didn't have a chance to post it! This little lantern would be great to hold your favorite potpourri and then hang it on a doorknob, or from a hook in the ceiling. It would also be gorgeous done up in Christmas colors and used for an ornament to hide a secret gift. Or you can tuck a flameless votive inside and use as an actual lantern!

I created the basic lantern with Spellbinders Paper Arts® Nested Lacey Pennants (I cut off the scalloped portion of the pennants). Cut/emboss 4 of the pennants from patterned paper and lay them on your table with the longer edges side by side (pattern side UP). To create a sturdier lantern, cut/emboss 4 additional pennants out of rust cardstock (remove scalloped portion), then adhere the pattern paper pennants to them.

Adhere Lace Doily Motifs #2 (with #1 being the smallest die) on the edges that are kissing. You'll do this four times, which will form the lantern. Cut/emboss Lace Doily Accents strip twice, and adhere them to rust cardstock (this forms your handle). I fussy cut around the edges, but you can leave it straight if you wish. Adhere the handle to the inside of your lantern and decorate as desired. I used Lace Doily Motifs #3 around the top edge of the lantern and hung pretty jewel danglers from them!

I used JustRite Papercraft's Always and Forever Medallion Labels for the sentiment and medallions, and once again, I fussy cut around the embossed stamped images, then adhered them to the lantern with 3D Foam Squares. I added a lot of KaiserCraft Pearls for bling and pretty pearl jewel rosettes for the center of the ornate stamped medallions.
