Thank you, Stacey!

Here is my last thank you card for the wonderful Stacey Caron, owner of Spellbinders Paper Arts! As you know, I am thrilled to have been chosen as one of the 2012 Spellbinders Design team and this is the card I created for Stacey for the Design Team Retreat in Arizona. I had such a wonderful, thrilling time at the retreat, and becoming a part of the Spellbinders family is a dream come true! Once again, thank you to Kim, Cathy and Stacey for this wonderful opportunity!! Miss you guys!

I chose to use hearts for Stacey's card as it represents my love of Spellbinders die templates! My designer paper from Anna Griffin set the color scheme and tone for the card. I wanted something pretty and feminine! I cut out hearts using Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Classic Hearts with a piece of the designer paper and Classic Scalloped Hearts out of coordinating cardstock. I added some shading to the smaller heart after stamping my sentiment from JustRite Papercraft Autumn Words in Memento Tuxedo black ink. Next, I added Want2Scrap Nestabling Scalloped Hearts to my heart pieces and added dimension with pop-dots. The outside layer of Nestabling on the sentiment heart was shaded with Copic Markers.

 I adhered 4 Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Persian Motifs to the back of my heart piece, after shading the edges as well. I layered the designer paper onto green cardstock, and wrapped beautiful white silk ribbon from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store around both panels before adhering to a white card. My final touch was three silk ribbon bows topped with a large pearl.

thank you for Cathy...

Here's the card I created for Cathy Chlebana, DT Coordinator of Spellbinders for the fabulous time we all had at the Design Team Retreat. Cathy is one amazing lady and I'm so excited to be working with her this year!! We had such a good time on the Party Bus, especially Cathy (but what happens on the bus, stays on the bus)!!

I created this card using soft blue tones because Cathy doesn't like pink! I dug out my vintage glass glitter for this project and tinted it lightly with Copic Marker refill E55 which gave me a soft antique look. I coated the largest Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Decorative Element Picot Edges circle with the glitter, then layered Shapeabilities® Blossom Tags and Accents. I added more glass glitter to that piece, then layered with Shapeabilities® Fancy Tags Two. 

I added Want2Scrap Nestabling Fancy Tags Two to my fancy tag, then created a sentiment strip using JustRite Papercraft Autumn Words. All of my layers were popped up for extra dimension. I added a pretty lacy wired ribbon bow, then topped that off with a soft silk ribbon fork bow from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. My designer paper is from Tim Holtz's Ideaology paper stack which I wrapped with more lacy and satin blue ribbon. My final touch was to adhere the piece to a blue panel, then to an ivory card.

Thank you...

Here's a pretty card I created for Kim Hupke, Spellbinder's Educational Director, thanking her for the fabulous time we all had at the Design Team Retreat. I sneakily had the entire design team sign the card as well! Come back tomorrow to see what I created for Cathy, the DT Coordinator, then on Thursday I will show the card I made for Stacey, owner of Spellbinder's.

I created this card using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty, along with JustRite Papercraft's Kindness stamp set. I embossed the stamps using Versamark and white and black embossing powder for each label. I added Nestabling Labels Twenty around the largest label from Want2Scrap. My sentiment is from the JustRite Papercraft Spring Words set, which was embossed with black. I layered the labels with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares. 

My designer paper is from Prima's Moulin Rouge paper stack which I cut in half and adhered to a black panel. I added my Venise Lace, pink tulle, and gorgeous silk ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I finished the card with a fluffy tulle bow which was then layered with a silk ribbon bow, a pearl/rhinestone button and black pearls.

Happy Easter!

JustRite Papercraft April Release Day Four

Welcome to Day Four of JustRite Papercraft's April Release and the design team is showcasing two background stamps called Grandma's Attic and Fleuriste Newsprint. Today is last day of the April Release and I hope you've enjoyed the fabulous creations we've shown!

Share this on Pinterest!

For my card, I stamped Fleuriste Newsprint on black cardstock with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. I wrapped black pleated ribbon around my panel, then layered on crochet lace, and twisted silk ribbon. I tied a pretty red silk bow and added a rhinestone/pearl button. I adhered that panel to red mirror cardstock, then to a white card.

I cut a small Spellbinders™ Decorative Elements Nestabilities® Fleur de lis Squares and inked the edges of the die before cutting it out, then added my sentiment. I layered it to JustRite Papercraft Nested Medallion Label Dies, then added it to my card. My butterflies were stamped and embossed from the same Fleuriste Newsprint background stamp, then cut out and adhered to the front of my cad. My final touches were red rhinestones.

JustRite Papercraft April Release Day Three

Welcome to Day Three of JustRite Papercraft's April Release and the design team is showcasing Classic Lace Edges One, and Classic Lace Edges Two! As you have seen over the last two days, the stamps are beyond gorgeous! I don't see how you can't want them all!! You could have a chance to win the entire Release, and more information is posted below!!

My project today is very special to my heart as it showcases my beautiful daughter on her wedding day. Janessa and Niklas were married in a small church in San Diego and she was just gorgeous in her simple gown and baby's breath in her upswept hair. Niklas was very handsome in his suit and tie! A lovely day for the beginning of their sweet life together. For you, Nessa! Love and Miss you bunches!!!

I created this picture frame using JustRite Papercraft stamps:  Classic Lace Edges Two, Elegant Fronds, and Always & Forever Medallion Labels.

Share this on Pinterest!

I painted my wooden frame with White Americana acrylic paint, then edged it with a Pentouch Gold Pen on the outer and inside part of the wood. I stamped Classic Lace Edges Two on four strips of My Mind's Eye designer paper then cut them out with Spellbinders™ Edgeabilities® Classic Edges Two. I just love that JustRite and Spellbinders work so well together! My two favorite companies!! My four lace pieces were centered on the frame, then I adhered the pearl strand around the outer edge. I added gold pearls and beautiful white silk ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

I created my roses with Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Donna Salazar Bitty Blossoms, and Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Spiral Blossom One. I cut and edged the blossoms with the gold pen, rolled them up and glued them. They are so incredibly easy to make! I then stamped Elegant Fronds on green cardstock with Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder. I cut my leaves from that panel and cut my sprigs with Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Foliage using white glitter paper. I arranged all the floral components on the lower left portion of my frame.

Lastly, I stamped and embossed the small medallion from Always & Forever Medallion Labels with white embossing powder and layered it to a small medallion that I had cut  from the Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® Persian Motifs, My sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with gold embossing powder before I added it to the layered medallions. My final touch was adding the Sentiment medallion piece to the upper right corner of my frame!

JustRite Papercraft April Release Day Two

It's Day Two of the JustRite Papercraft April Release and we are showcasing some very pretty stamps today! I can't pick a favorite as I love them all! Wait til you see what the design team has created for you!

Share this on Pinterest!

My card uses the Elegant Fronds background and the Vintage Rose Medallions with the coordinating Nested Oval Medallion Label Dies.

I created my background by stamping Elegant Fronds on black Bazzill cardstock with Versamark, then embossing with gold embossing powder. Next, I cut the panel apart with Spellbinders™ Edgeabilities® E8-007 Classic Edges One die templates. I glued both pieces to a white Bazzill cardstock panel and added pretty swirly rhinestones. I stamped my Vintage Rose Medallions on white, then cut it out with Nested Oval Medallion Label Dies. I colored the image with Copic Markers and created a small sentiment piece to fit in the center. I used pop-dots to layer my medallion on to my background panel. Lastly, I added a gorgeous burgundy silk ribbon and bow, then adhered it to a black card to finish it off.
