JustRite Papercraft May Release Day Two - Two Cards & Two Tutorials

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is the second day of the JustRite Papercraft May Release.  The New Releases we are showcasing today are CL-03655 Going Places Vintage Labels, and CL-03735 Violette Vintage Labels.  There is also a New Die Template Release - JB-03730 Vintage Label & Banner Dies matches perfectly with the new stamp sets.  

I have two cards to share with you today and I have tutorials on the two different backgrounds.  

For the first card I used CL-03655 Going Places Vintage Labels and CL-03760 Cozy Plaid.

I stamped the CL-03760 Cozy Plaid background stamp using Rich Cocoa ink and then I started to add color using Copic markers.  I started with a blue markers going over all of the very thin lines (going in both directions).

Next I added a tan color going over all of the medium lines.

For the last color I added a green going over the wide lines.  Layering the colors makes a perfect plaid background.  

I colored the image using Copic makers and then I used JustRite Papercraft Custom Dies JB-03730 Vintage Label & Banner Dies to cut/emboss the two labels.  

Then I added some green and tan ribbon with a charm.  The ribbons is from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store May Arts Ribbon Sampler Spring Green Ribbon. 

 

Here is my second card.

  

For this card I used CL-03735 Violette Vintage Labels, and  CL-03760 Cozy Plaid. 

To create the background for this card I used Distress Ink Old Paper and two colors of Distress Makers to color directly on to the background image.  

 

Here is the image after it was stamped. 

I cut the background image and layered it on to a piece of Frosted Amethyst and inked the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink.  I lightly taped the two piece of paper in the middle and then I sewed around the edges with a zig-zag stitch. 

Here is a close up of the stitching.  I know I need to work on sewing straight but this is my first project with my new to me sewing machine and I love how it turned out!  I am pretty excited about having a sewing machine!!  See the bottom of the post for more info.  ;-) 

  

I used Distress Markers to color the image and then I added some Diamond Clear Glitter and Ivory Pearls from The Rubber Cafe' to the flowers.  

 

I also added some Light Blue silk ribbon and Purple Chenille Dots trim both from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and a flower charm.

I hope you enjoyed the cards and seeing how you can create two different styles for the background stamp.  Please be sure to visit all of the Design Team Members to see what they created using the New Release Stamps!

I mentioned above that I have a new sewing machine (new to me!)  and am so excited to be trying my hand at sewing!!  I have to give a HUGE Thank You to my aunt Gail!!!  She picked up this sewing machine for me at a sale this past weekend!!  It's a Viking Husqvarna Automatic.  It's an older machine but it purrs like a kitten and works perfectly!!  I can't wait to try out a few more projects.  ;-) Thank You!!!!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!!

Hugs & Smiles,
