JustRite Papercraft - Doily Tow Cling Stamps & SVG Files - May New Release

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is the first day of the May New Release from JustRite® Papercraft and we have some really pretty and fun stamp sets to share with you and also some New SVG Files to coordinate with the stamp sets.  For my project I used one of the new stamp sets and the matching SVG cut file.






Here is the card that I designed.  I used light blue cardstock for the base.  For the mat I used simply smooth ivory and then randomly stamped the doily image from the CL-02031 Doily Two Cling Stamps using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.  Then I lightly inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and edged the card with Memento  Espresso Truffle.  I used the offset SVG Doily Two Digital Cut File Download with my Silhouette Cameo to cut the doily shape.  Then I stamped and inked the cut shape with the same stamp and inks as the background.  


Here is a close up of the cut shape.  I also added a tulle flower with a doily and then a button on top.  I added Ranger Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the outer edges.  


I added some lace, seam binding and a handmade stick pin with a few sequins.  To finish off the card I stamped a sentiment in the lower right corner.

Please be sure to visit each of the JustRite Papercraft Designers in the link list below to see what they have created to share with you.

The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store - A Mother's Day Card

Hello and Happy Monday!  Mother's Day is just around the corner and today I have a pretty card to share using products from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store that could be used for this special occasion.  


I love the soft lavender and blue with just a touch of pink on the card.  I used lavender cardstock for the base of the card.   Then I created an embossed mat using simply smooth white cardstock, Ranger Distress Inks-Shaded LilacTumbled Glass and E3D-016 Labels 34 Medallion M-bossabilities folder.  Apply the ink directly to the flat side of the embossing folder starting with the lightest color of ink.  Mist the front and back of the white cardstock with water--doing this breaks down the fibers in the paper and give you a nice crisp emboss.  Then I used three of the die templates from the S4-427 Decorative Labels Thirty-Four set to cut and emboss the label shapes using sky metallic, lavender, and simply smooth white cardstock.  I used a stamp from the JustRite® Papercraft AG-04940 Happy Occasion Belly Bands Two stamp set for the sentiment and I used Dusty Concord distress ink.


I added some Pink Wrinkled Ribbon and layered all of the die cuts using  3D Foam Squares.  Then I added a bow, Prima Interlude-Pink Roses, and  Kaisercraft Light Pink Rhinestones.


I also added some Kaisercraft Light Pink Rhinestones to a couple of the corners.


The sentiment on the card doesn't have to be just for Mother's Day--it could also be used for a birthday or even just a thinking of you card.

I hope you enjoyed the card today.

Altered Key Necklace - Leaf & Fairy Necklace - ButterBeeScraps

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a couple of necklaces to share with you using products from ButterBeeScraps.


Here is the first necklace that I designed.  I used one of the Silver Key and a Resin Flower Embellishments (Item #RES606-BK).  This style of silver key is currently out of stock but there are several keys at ButterBeeScraps that would also work to create this necklace.  I used E6000 to adhere the rose to the front of the key.  Then I used a screw hole action punch to punch a hole in the bottom of the key so I could dangle some beads and a charm.


Here is a close up of the key.  I made a couple of small bead dangles and added a Heart Charm using Silver Jump Rings.


Here is a close up of the bead dangles and the charm.


For the chain I used some Rose Link Chain and then I also added some Silver Chain and a clasp to finish off the necklace.


Here is the second necklace that I designed and I have to say I love how this one turned out!  I love the colors, texture and all the sparkle!  I used a Bronze Leaf and then I applied glossy accents, micro beads, and glitter bits.  Once it was dry I applied glossy accents over the entire piece.  


After the glossy accents was dry I added a Silver Fairy Charm from the Sugar and Spice Charm Collection.  Then I added a green gem drop using Bronze Jump Rings and added the entire piece to 


I hope you enjoyed both of the necklaces that I shared today.  If you like to create jewelry or work with metals in your paper crafts or mixed media projects hop on over to ButterBeeScraps and check out all of the really fun metal pieces.

Special Day Card

Hello blogging friends!  Today I have an all occasion style card to share with you using some Spellbinders Paper Arts® die templates and M-bossabilites folder and a stamp set from JustRite® Papercraft.


I used pastel papers which are prefect for Spring and the sentiment could be changed out for several different occasions such as birthday, TOY, Wedding or Anniversary just to name a few.  For the sentiment I used a stamp from the CR-04405 Enjoy the Day Vintage Labels Four Clear Stamps from  JustRite® Papercraft.  Then I used S5-208 Majestic Labels Eight and S5-148 Decorative Labels Eight to create the die cuts.  For the background I used pink metallic paper and embossed it with E3D-018 European Tapestry.  I adhered all of the layers together using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips-Refillable Dispenser 49' and 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™.  To finish off the card I added some flower rhinestones, pearls and Wild Orchid Craft flowers with a little bit of diamond stickles.


Here is a close up.

Crystal Filigree Dragonfly Pins - ButterBeeScraps - Spellbinders

Hello everyone!  The weather is finally starting to warm up here in MN.  I can't wait until it's warm enough to plant some flowers and a garden.  But in the meantime I have been keeping busy making some fun Spring and Summer time jewelry which I will be sharing with you over the next couple of weeks.  Today, I have a couple dragonfly pins to share with you using some fun products from ButterBeeScraps and Spellbinders Paper Arts®


These are the two dragonfly pins I designed.  I used filigree pieces, crystals, rhinestone rondelle spacer beads, and bead caps from ButterBeeScraps and for the body of the dragonflies I used hatpins from Spellbinders Paper Arts®.


To start I added German Glass Glitter, Micro Beads and Glitter inside the bezel on the MB#-002 Oval Hatpin-Silver and then I filled it with Glossy Accents and set it aside to dry.  I used two different styles of the filigree pieces Silver Filigree Embellishment (Item #809-P) and Silver Filigree (currently out of stock) for the wings.  I cut the pieces in half and then I used E6000 to attach them to the back of the MB#-002 Oval Hatpin-Silver.  Next I added  SS12 Olivine Flat Back Glass Rhinestones SS16 Olivine Flat Back Glass Rhinestones, and SS20 Olivine Flat Back Glass Rhinestones to the wings.  Then I added some Clear Rhinestone Rondelle Spacer Beads - 6mm (Item #BD006-P/CL) and some beads from my stash.  To finish the dragonfly I used a round nose pliers to create a loop at the end of the hatpin and then I added a pin back using E6000.


Here is a close up of the bezel.  I love all of the sparkle from the different glitters and micro beads!


Dragonfly #2


Here is the aqua blue dragonfly.  I have to tell you this one is my favorite!  I love the colors and the patina!!  I filled the bezels with glitters, micro beads and glossy accents just like the first one but using different colors.  For the wings I used Bronze Filigree Embellishment (Item #553-B).  I cut out parts from two filigree pieces and using E6000 to apply them to the MB#-002 Oval Hatpin-Bronze.  Then I used Patina Rub-N-Buff on the outside of the bezel and the wings.  Love, love, love how the Patina looks on the bronze filigree pieces!  Next I added some SS12 Aquamarine Flat Back Glass Rhinestones, and SS20 Aquamarine Flat Back Glass Rhinestones to the wings.  Then I added some beads, Clear Rhinestone Rondelle Spacer Beads - 6mm (Item #BD006-P/CL), and Bronze Filigree Bead Caps (Item #CAP052-B) to the bottom of the MB#-002 Oval Hatpin-Bronze.  Same as the first one I used a round nose pliers to create a loop and curve the hatpin.


So thrilled with how this one turned out!


I hope these dragonfly beauties will inspire you to think outside the box and use filigree pieces and hatpins in different ways and have fun creating!

Heidi

Blue Frost and Crystal Beaded Jewel Loom Bracelet

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a beautiful bracelet to share with you using the Jewel Loom™ by Julianna C Hudgins from Beadalon® and gorgeous crystals and beads from Connie Crystal™.

BlueFrostCrystalBeadedJewelLoomBracelet-6

To create the bracelet, I use 4 strands of  Artistic Wire® 22 Ga Non Tarnish Silver for the warp threads on the Jewel Loom™.  I used Light Blue Frosted Round Beads and Sapphire Round Crystals to weaved 37 rows using the WildFire ™ Frost Weaving Thread.  Next I added the  Suncatcher Mixed Media Blue Theme crystals and beads to the center and wire wrapped to attach them to the bracelet and hold in place.    Then I removed the bracelet band from the loom and made loops on the end of each wire.  I connected the wires with jump rings and added a clasp.  I also added some SS16 Clear Flat Back Crystals from ButterBeeScraps.

Spellbinders Design-abilities Blog Hop - Chandelier Pearl and Crystal Necklace

It’s that time again, for the Spellbinders® Blog Team to do the Design-abilites Blog Hop.  We want to share some fun, and creative projects with you. Our blog hop is every other month on the 16th and we will provide a link list to each of the Blog Team Design Members.  Before we get started, we want to let you know this blog hop is just for creative inspiration; we are not sponsored by Spellbinders Paper Arts®.  Sometimes we might not all be able to participate, but we would still encourage you to visit all of the Blog Team Design Members and check out their blogs.


I have to tell you I am loving the New A Gilded Life Collections from Spellbinders Paper Arts®!  I love to make jewelry and chunky charms and the bezels from this collections are so beautiful.  If you don't make jewelry these bezels would still be great embellishments on your cards, scrapbook layouts or to add on to your DIY home decor projects--so many possibilities!  Here is a necklace that I designed using the GLLB-004G Large Chandelier Bezel - Bronze by:  A Gilded Life.  One of the things I love about these bezels is that they come with a clear plexiglass cover so you can fill the bezels with beads, glitter, charms, found objects, ephemera paper, bling and fabrics just to name a few.  This allows you to create your very own unique and personalized bezel.  


On the outside of the bezel I applied some Patina Rub-N-Buff to give it more of a vintage look.  For the inside of the bezel I die cut a piece of printed burlap using GLD-004 Chandelier Die.  Then I used some liquid adhesive to adhere the burlap inside the bezel.  Next I added some Silver German Glass Glitter, Swarovski AB Flat Back Crystals, Pearls and a Key to the inside of the bezel.  I used more liquid adhesive to add the clear plexiglass cover and then set it aside to dry.


Here is a close up of all the little goodies inside the bezel.  I also added a few more of the Swarovski AB Flat Back Crystals to the outside of the bezel.


I created some bead dangles to hang from the bottom of the bezel.  I used Bead Cap CAP114-BBead Cap CAP052-BBronze Jump Rings from ButterBeeScraps and for the beads I used Pearls, Crystal Teardrop Bead, Round Crystal Bead, Aqua/Brown AB Round Bead.


Once the bezel was done then I added it to Bronze Chain CH206-B from ButterBeeScraps.  

Please be sure to visit all of the Spellbinders Blog Team Design Members in the link list below to see what they have created to share with you.  Just as a reminder not all of the designers are able to participate in the Blog Hop but I would still encourage you to check out their blogs--they are filled with creative inspiration!

Heidi
