Spellbinder & JustRite Stampers JustRite Cling Stamp Set and Fairy Wings

Hello! Today I have a fun layout to share with you. Do remember in my last post I mentioned a little girl who LOVES Tinker Bell?Check her out! Is she Adorable or what? I love this photo--so sweet and dreamy looking. Having two boys it's not very often that I get to create a totally girly girl layout project and let me tell you I had so much fun creating this layout!! The background paper started out as a white sheet of cardstock and I used several colors of Glimmer Mist to create the pretty purple/pink/blue and green paper. I used the Grand Calibur and LF 190 Grand Labels Four to cut/emboss and mat the photo. Then I used LF 114 Grand Circles along with Garden Blossom Glimmer Screen to cut/emboss the circle. Then I added airbrushing, inks, Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam to the circle. For the title I used My Mind's Eye Lush Printed Chipboard Alphabet Stickers, colored them with Copic markers, Glimmer Glam and Stickles.To create the wings I used two different fairy wings from JustRite Stampers JustRite Cling CL-02050 Quiet Moments stamp set and stamped them using Rich Cocoa Ink.Next I airbrushed the wings with Copic markers and then I hand cut the wings and lightly misted then with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.Here is a close up of the border at the bottom. I used S7-017 On the Vine Border Grand and added the fairy wings with rhinestones and tiny pink roses.The sentiment is also from the JustRite Cling CL-02050 Quiet Moments stamp set. I used S4-293 Lacey Circles die #4 to cut/emboss the circle and then I used a Copic marker to airbrush using the die template as a stencil.Here is a close up of the sentiment.

JustRite Cling - In the Moonlight - Fairy Ornament

Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and lots of yummy food. Did you go out and brave the Black Friday shopping craze? Did you get any great deals? We didn't go anywhere--LOL! But I did do a little online shopping from the comforts of home--gotta love that! *wink*

I have another Christmas ornament to share with you today. I had so much fun making this cute little fairy ornament! As soon as I spotted this fairy ornament at the store I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it and who I wanted to give it to! I have a dear sweet friend and her little girl LOVES Tinker Bell!! The stamp set is one of the NEW JustRite Cling stamp sets, CL-02055 In the Moonlight. I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink to stamp the swirly frame and sentiment on to Simply Smooth White cardstock. Then I taped the S4-290 Labels Fourteen die #3 die template in place and cut/embossed using the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™.Next I used Copic markers and airbrushed inside the die template.I also made a star diecut for the wand using S4-092 Stars Five die #1 and airbrushed with a Copic marker.Here is a close up of the sentiment. The little accent pieces are from the corner die templates in the S4-287 Fanciful Holiday set. I used pink cardstock to cut/emboss the accent pieces. I added Cotton Candy and Star Dust stickles from Ranger and Bling from My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy Tickled Pink Bling. I added some bling to the little skirt, shoes and wand.
Here is a photo of the fairy before I embellished it. I added Waterfall, Shell Pink, Lacy Lilac Glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle to the wings. I added the star with a bit of bling to the wand and some pink seam binding for a ribbon.

Good morning! Wow, I can't believe how fast 12 weeks flew by! For today's project I have a Christmas card to share with you.To create the card I used JustRite Cling CL-02025 Sparky and Friends stamp set from JustRite Stampers. This is a fun Christmas stamp set and includes 12 stamps in the set. I used non traditional colors for the card but I really like the pinks and blues for the Christmas holiday. The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Collection and the Fine and Dandy Collection. I started with a piece of paper from the Fine and Dandy Collection and randomly stamped three of the snowflake images from JustRite Cling CL-02025 Sparky and Friends stamp set using Broken China ink. In the photo you can see a before and after look of the paper. Here is a close up of the background paper.
Next I stamped the mitten image using Rich Cocoa ink. Then I lined up the die template and taped it in place and cut/embossed the shape. The mitten die template is from S4-285 Nested Mittens. Then I colored the cuff of the mitten and the heart with Copic markers and inked around the edges with Vintage Photo ink.Here is a close up of the mittens.
I cut/embossed the snowflakes using S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants and inked the edges with Vintage Photo ink.I used White 3D Foam Squares to layer all of the pieces for the snowflake and mittens. The shape card was created using the Grand Calibur™ and LF-126 Grand Squares die #3, LF-127 Grand Scalloped Squares die #3 from Spellbinders™.I added diamond stickles to the white snowflake, scalloped edge, mittens and snowflake on the background paper.

It's time for another Crafty Secrets Challenge and this month Vicki Chrisman our Design Team Coordinator gave us a challenge to create something for Christmas using the wonderful Crafty Secrets products. There are so many products to choose from for Christmas--Stamps, Creative Scraps, Journal Image & Note Booklets and Christmas Vintage Postcard Kits just to name a few.

Also, this month we have the wonderfully creative and ever so talented Anna Wight joining us for the challenge. Welcome Anna!!

For the challenge this month I created a Christmas Wall Hanging.To create the wall hanging I used the Crafty Secrets Seasons Greetings Clear Art Stamp Set and the Crafty Secrets Merry Christmas Creative Scraps. I also used the Grand Calibur™ and LF-190 Grand Labels Four from Spellbinders™ to create the base for the wall hanging. To start I stamped the image of the adorable little girl using Rich Cocoa ink. I used Simply Smooth White Cardstock. Next I added color using Copic markers. I used three shades of green for the holly.Then I colored the berries.For the coat and hat I used a light pink, a medium rose colors and a deep rose color.Next I colored the face and arm and I used a little bit of blush color to give her cheeks a little pink color.I colored the hair a golden brown.I used two shades to color her boots.Lastly a touch of blue for the eyes and pink for the lips. I used the S4-294 Beaded Ovals die #4 and S4-303 Crowned Ovals die #4 to make the oval die cuts. Using Antique Linen ink I left the cardstock in the die templates and inked through using the die template as a stencil. I layered the two pieces together using 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™.The printed image is from the Christmas Creative Scraps and I used the Grand Calibur™ and LF-190 Grand Labels Four die #4 to cut/emboss the image. Then I added some color to the image using Copic markers.I made a bow to use on the bottom and then I lightly misted it with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. I also used the LF-190 Grand Labels Four dies # 5, 6 to create a mat and then I layered all of the pieces. Here is a close up of the Santa. I colored the Santa hat, added so Liquid Applique` and then some glitter. I also used the postcard image from the Merry Christmas Creative Scraps and distressed the edges. The image of the little girl was colored with Copic markers and then I added Liquid Applique` and glitter. I also added tiny pearls. I added some color to the boy and girl and then added Liquid Applique` and glitter to the area with snow. I added snowflake buttons (with the backs removed) and pink rhinestones on the top. To dress up the bottom half I used some Christmas greens, glittered fern and white berries with a bow.

Today I am using Spellbinders™ S4-295 Lacey Squares die template and I created a Christmas wall hanging. You could create this wall hanging and keep it for yourself or it would be great for gift giving too.
To start I used the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ and S4-295 Lacey Squares die #2, #4, S4-301 Labels Sixteen die #3; S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants to create several die cuts. For the S4-295 Lacey Squares die #2, #4 I cut/embossed four pieces each. I used the S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants and cut/embossed each of the snowflakes three times.Next I inked the larger Lacey Squares die cuts with Vintage Photo Distress Ink from Ranger. The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye Holly Jolly Collection.I inked all of the other die cuts using Antique Linen Distress Ink from Ranger.The letters for Noel are from My Mind's Eye Blue Lush Line and I added a little shading with Copic markers. I brushed all of the snowflakes with Gem-Tac from Beacon Adhesives and applied Clear Chunky Glitter.Next it was time to start putting all of the pieces together for the wall hanging. I used White 3D Foam Squares from SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES By 3L™ to add dimension in between each of the paper layers.I also added a few rhinestones from the Blue Lush Line from My Mind's Eye and some seam binding from Holly Jolly to tie off the ends of the lace. The piece of lace was from my aunt Gail--thanks--I love it! The S4-295 Lacey Squares set includes five die templates and you can cut/emboss and stencil with them. I love the lacey edges!!
