 JustRite Fan Tutorial

I will list the supplies I used for my card, but you can substitute with items in your stash! Of course, I encourage you to purchase the JustRite Stamps as they are perfect for this technique :)

Supplies:

Getting Started:

1. Cut Patterned paper 5 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches and punch the upper right corner with your favorite decorative corner punch.

2. Cut Ivory cardstock 5 x 5 1/2 inches and round the upper right corner with a Corner Rounder punch. Adhere your patterned paper to this piece. Cut the Teal/Blue cardstock 6 x 12 inches and fold. Round the upper right corner with the Corner Rounder punch (front and back). Adhere your panel to your card.

4. Color 12 large white pearls and 8 smaller pearls with Copic Marker BG01.

Step 1 instructions:

1. Stamp two Scrolled Vine Background on Ivory cardstock with Versamark, then emboss with white embossing powder, using your heat gun. 

2. Once cool, cut the stamped images out. (You can use any background stamp for your fan, but make sure your pieces are sized 2 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches) You need three pieces. (Save the other piece for another card)

3.Score each piece in 1/2 inch increments. (1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4 inches)

5. Glue one end of the folded piece to another, as shown in the photo.

6. Glue the last piece to the second piece, as shown in the photo.

7. Using the photo as a guide, cut a small piece from the folded strip. This is so the piece is balanced.

2. Cut the Lace Borders as shown, which will give you 12 pieces.
3. Fold each piece in half.

5. Glue all pieces and allow to dry thoroughly.
6. Turn folded strip over and apply a generous amount of glue to each fold.

More JustRite Background stamps...

Over at JustRite Stampers, the design team is showcasing more of their fabulous Background stamps! Today we are using Ticking Stripe or Stitched Ribbon or a combination thereof! I created this pretty card using the Ticking Stripe background embossed with shimmery gold embossing powder on coordinating patterned papers from K & Company.

Share this on Pinterest!

I used Spellbinders Label Twenty One for my main piece behind my sentiment and I embossed Ticking Stripe with Recollections gold embossing powder. My card worked up quickly after embossing the Ticking Stripe! I pushed the sides in towards the middle to get a small hump in my Labels Twenty One piece and glued the sides down onto my background patterned paper.

I adhered my floral background panel to a burgundy cardstock panel. I then stamped my sentiment from Spring Words onto one of the tags from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, (I cut the tag from patterned paper) and mounted it to another tag in a contrasting color. I looped pretty hand dyed silk ribbon from Hand-Dyed Fibers (tell Vikki I sent you) through the tag and adhered it to the back of my panel before gluing to a green card. I did pop dot my sentiment tag to my Labels Twenty One panel to give it dimension. I stamped my butterfly from Botanical Butterflies on a scrap piece of ivory cardstock, colored with Copic markers then added it to my sentiment tag. I finished the card off with pretty gold pearls.

JustRite Border Stamps...

Today, the design team of JustRite Stampers is showcasing two gorgeous border stamp sets: Classic Scallop Borders One, and Lace Borders Two. 

I just love how versatile these borders are! If you'll remember, I created a sweet birdhouse using Classic Scallop Borders One, and you can see that post HERE! I decided to use the same technique that I used for the birdhouse roof for my card today. The "shingle" effect is quite striking against the paper I used. I just fell in love with the colors in the new Die Cuts with a View Coral Couture paper stack and had to use it!

Share this on Pinterest!

I stamp the border three times on green cardstock with Versamark ink, and embossed with Rangers Seafoam White Embossing Powder. I cut the borders out with scissors but you can also cut them with Spellbinders E8-001 Classic Scallop Edgeabilities. I then glued the border strips to my patterned paper, staggering the scallops, as shown. I added my sentiment from the With Sympathy stamp set, and tied a pretty silk bow, then mounted it to my white card. My last touch was adding pearls I had colored with Copic Marker R43.

JustRite Background Stamps...

This week, JustRite Stamps is showcasing their fabulous background stamps and I had a wonderful time creating with them! Each stamp has so many possibilities to jazz up your paper crafting.

My first card is a pretty fan using the Scrolled Vine Background and Lace Borders. My sentiment is from the With Sympathy stamp set.

My second card uses Vintage Wallpaper, Spring Words, Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One, Labels Seventeen, and Twisted Metal Tags and Accents:

For my rose, I stamped and embossed Vintage Wallpaper with white embossing powder on black cardstock. Then I used Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One die on that piece and created my rose!

I created this pretty card for the challenge using Scrolled Vine Background, and Lace Borders Two. My sentiment is from Kindness. A silk ribbon bow, a pretty rose and some bling finished this card off in a jiffy!

Pretty Heart Box...

Share this on Pinterest!

I created this pretty heart box using two new releases from JustRite Stampers called Always & Forever Medallion Labels and Lace Borders Two with Spellbinders Classic Heart and Classic Scalloped Hearts as the base. I love the delicate lacy look I achieved when I embossed one of the stamps from Lace Borders Two with white embossing powder on my designer paper (Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings). 

I added a big fluffy tulle bow, then topped it with more hearts, lots of pearls, a glittery flower, beaded stick pins and a double silk bow! My tiny sentiment from Always & Forever Medallion Labels packs a big punch, and sometimes, just one word is enough!

Rejoice!

JustRite Stampers' newest release, Easter Blessings, has inspired me in so many ways with the variety of stamps that comes with the set. I chose to use the sentiment “Rejoice!” from the set for this card and to frame it with Spellbinders Classic Petals Edgeabilitiies. Take a hop to the JustRite Challenge blog to see their post!

   Share this on Pinterest!

I stamped the sentiment three times on white cardstock, shaded the edges with a pretty soft teal ink, and adhered it to a teal panel. Next, I cut 4 edges with the Classic Petals die, 2 in teal cardstock, and two in Tim Holtz’s Idealogy paper stack. I then used the decorative insert from the Edgeabilities on those edge pieces. I adhered the patterned paper pieces on top of the teal pieces, then added pop-dots to the back. 

I added a satin bow and a cross charm to the lower piece before adding it underneath my sentiment. I adhered the smaller edge piece over the top of my sentiment, then adhered the entire panel to a white card. If you haven't purchased this set yet, I would encourage you to do so!! It's a must have!

Too excited!!!

They say that good things come to those who wait! Well, I definitely am a believer of that philosophy!  I am just too excited to announce that I have been asked to join the JustRite Stampers Design Team and I couldn't be more tickled pink! I just love their stamps and have been designing with them for quite a while. I love the versatility of their product and can't wait to show you more fabulous projects and designs. 

This week, JustRite Stampers is showcasing three new projects I've created for this announcement of joining the team! Please stop by the JustRite Challenge blog and don't forget to leave a comment!! We all love those! I am so thankful for this opportunity and looking forward to working with the other amazing artists that make up the JustRite Design team! It's a dream come true for me.

Here is my first card officially designing for JustRite and read all about it below! 

As I was digging through my tons of paper, I found an Anna Griffin paper stack that I didn’t even remember buying! I am so glad I did, because as soon as I saw it, I let out a squeal and immediately knew I would use it for a card I had in mind for one of JustRite’s newest sets Always & Forever Medallion Labels. The pretty frame stamps are just gorgeous embossed with white embossing powder on designer paper!

I used Nested Medallion Label Dies, and Nested Oval Medallion Label Dies to cut out my stamped images. I added pop dots to each piece and layered them onto Spellbinders Blossom Tags and Accents die. I cut a small die from Labels Seventeen for my sentiment, which I edged with Copic markers. I used an embossing folder to add some texture to my green cardstock for the top of my card and the lower portion is a beautiful floral print from the Anna Griffin stack.  I stamped a pretty border using Lace Borders, and adhered it to my card panel. I added my sentiment medallion, then a satin and organza bow, beaded stick pins (which I sell in my Etsy store) and was finished!
