Autumn Jewel Flowers Candle

Hello!  Today, is my day to post on Julianna's Blog Positively Me and I have a home decor' piece to share with you that will be perfect for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and to decorate your home during the Autumn season.

I used S5-143 Jewel Flowers and Flourishes die templates from Julianna's Positively Me Collection from Spellbinders Paper Arts™ to create some beautiful flowers and embellish a candle that would be wonderful to use as a center piece or on a side table.

This was a really quick and easy project to create and it's always fun to make home decor pieces, especially for the holidays.  To find out all of the details and see more pictures please click HERE to visit Julianna's blog.  Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!

Hugs and Smiles,

Heidi

JustRite Papercraft - Holiday Cheer Ornaments Stamp Set

Hello blogging friends!  Today, I have a Christmas card to share with you using the New Release CL-03925 Holiday Cheer Ornaments stamp set from JustRite Papercraft.  

This is a beautiful stamp set including three Christmas ornaments, ornament topper and sentiments.

Here is the card that I designed using CL-03925 Holiday Cheer Ornaments.  I used Simply Smooth Ivory and Sno Cone paper from Discount Cardstock and for the pattern paper I used My Mind's Eye All is Bright 6 x 6 paper pad.  I stamped the ornament with gold pigment ink and then used gold embossing powder and heat set the image.  Then I used S5-116 2012 Heirloom Ornaments to cut/emboss the ornament shape.

Here is a close up of the ornament.  I used Aqua Seam Binding from Really Reasonable Ribbon and embellished the ornament with a ribbon buckle and pearls.  The Acrylic Ribbon Buckle and Large Flat Back Pearl are both from Beady Bom Bom and the smaller pearls are from Recollections.  I also added a Chandelier Charm at the bottom of the ornament.

I stamped the sentiment using gold pigment ink and embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I used S5-128 Fancy Framed Tags Two to create the die cut tag.  

I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A, S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B to create the beautiful embossed edge mats for the card.  I also used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to layer the die cuts.

Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop - Really Reasonable Ribbon and Hampton Art - Choose HOPE ♥

Hello blogging friends!  Today, is the Really Reasonable Ribbon and Hampton Art Blog Hop for Breast Cancer Awareness.   The RRR Design Team Members and Special Events Design Team Members will be joining the Hampton Art Design Team Members showcasing the beautiful ribbons and trims from RRR and fantastic stamps from Hampton Art.  

Both RRR and Hampton Art will be offering prizes for the blog hop!  RRR will be offering a $20.00 gift certificate and Hampton Art will have a prize pack with a stamp set and  some ink pads with an approximate value of $20.00 so please be sure to leave a comment on each blog along the way to be eligible to win one of the prizes.  

If you are following the order of the blog hop you should have just come from Adora's Blog. If not and you just happened to pop in for a visit please click HERE to start the blog hop at the Hampton Art Blog.  If you happen to get lost along the way please visit the Hampton Art Blog or the Really Reasonable Ribbon's Rambling! Blog for a complete list of the blog hop.

For my project I altered a journal using Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and SC0038 Blooming Memories Stamp Set (Page 50 2012 eCatalog) from Hampton Arts.  I also used some inks from Hampton Arts, die templates from  Spellbinders and paper from Discount Cardstock.

To start I die cut a fancy label shape using S5-148 Decorative Labels Eight and Simply Smooth White cardstock.  Then I stamped the floral branch, bird image and sentiment using Color Box Chalk Ink Pink, Olive Pastel, Blue Lagoon, Black.  For the pink cardstock mat I used S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A die template.  I layered the paper pieces using 3D Foam Squares and then glued the Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon to the backside and attached the piece to the front of the journal.  

To add multiple colors of ink to a solid image I use Q-tips to apply the ink.  Here is a picture of the humming bird.

When I was attaching the ribbon to the paper I cut the strips of ribbon a little longer and then I cut in from each end towards the corner to create nice crisp corners on the ribbon.  I added a little bit of hot glue to the backside to hold the ribbons in place.

I stamped the ribbon from the KN2456 Think Pink Stamp and fussy cut it and added 3D Foam Squares to pop it up.  I added Pearls from The Rubber Cafe' to the flower centers.

I created a little ribbon and flower cluster down in the bottom corner.  I used the same Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge ribbon and then I added a Pink Acrylic Flower from Shabby Scraps and a couple of Pink/White Roses from I am Roses.  The Lg Flat Back Pearl for the flower center is from Beady Bom Bom. Then I added some leaves and diamond stickles.  To create the leaves I used S5-129 Foliage Two die template from Spellbinders.

I took a piece of the Pink Satin w/ Scalloed Edge and added three Round Acrylic Ribbon Buckles and then I glued this to the spine of the journal.

Once I had the ribbon glued in place then I added Lg Flat Back Pearls to the center of each buckle.

Now to continue in the blog hop you need to hop on over to Wendy's Blog and check out her fantastic project!

JustRite Papercraft - Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken - Day 2

Hello!  Today, I have another project to share with you using the NEW Amazing Paper Grace October 2012 Kit by Becca Feeken from JustRite Papercraft.  The kit includes everything you need to recreate Becca's beautiful designs and it also includes AG-03910 Its Sew Vintage stamp set and AG-03915 Vintage Frame Label & Spool Topper die template set.  Click HERE to find out all of the details. 

Here is the card that I designed using the stamps and die templates from Becca's October 2012 Kit.  I used Sno Cone paper from  Discount Cardstock for the base of the card and all of the pattern paper is from My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Lavender Collection.  

I used the largest label in the die set to cut/emboss this shape.  Then I stamped the flourish designs and the word LACE and inked the edges of the paper.  I added tiny metal hangers with pieces of vintage lace trims.  The hangers were originally silver and I added Ranger Snow Cap Paint Dabber, Vintage Photo and Antique Linen Distress Inks to give then a shabby chic look and then attached them with brads.

I added a little cluster of buttons to the top of the card with a little touch of shabby chic bling.  At the moment I am out of pearl swirl bling so I added paint and inks to the top of the clear rhinestone bling for a little different look.  I also used the stamps and die templates to create the little spool toppers.  Along the right side of the card I created a border using one of the stamps, seam binding and pattern paper.  To finish off the card I added an aqua seam binding bow and a memo pin with some beads added to it and one of the spool toppers.

For my first project I made a couple of decorative tags using Beach House 6 x 6 Mini Prints.  

For the first tag I fussy cut two of the smaller tags from the pattern paper.  I inked the edges on both tags with Vintage Photo ink.  I added a small strip of red pattern paper to the bicycle tag and then I added brads to both tags.  I added a few strips of pattern paper to the larger tag and then inked the tag with Vintage Photo and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.  

Next I added some small pieces of hemp rope and then layered the smaller tags with 3D Foam Squares.

To embellish the tag I added Holly Berry Red Jellie Dots from The Rubber Cafe' and a custom made button using the pattern paper and Epiphany Crafts EC Button Studio Round 14 Punch & Self Adhesive Buttons.

For my second tag I inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then I used a stamped image from CR-03710 Anchors Away from JustRite Papercraft and added the pattern paper.  I fussy cut the three tags, inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and then added brads.  

Here is a close up of the three small tags.

I added some Earthy True Hemp from Really Reasonable Ribbon across the bottom of the tag.  For the embellishment I used Epiphany Crafts EC Shape Studio Round 14 Punch & Bubble Caps Vintage Settings Cabana and a piece of the Beach House 6 x 6 Mini Prints.  

For my second project I designed a card using both the Beach House 6 x 6 Mini Prints and  Card Shoppe Cotton Candy along with some 12 x 12 White Bazzil Paper.

The image is from Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Flora the Cyclist and I colored it using Copic Markers.  Once the image was colored I used S5-127 Labels Twenty-Eight to cut/emboss the label shape.  Then I used the Scrap happy Sheer Glue from The Rubber Cafe' and added some Diamond Clear Glitter.  

Next I designed a ribbon flower using Sheer Box Pleats Pink Ribbon and White Mini Pom-Poms from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  For the flower center I added a Faux Rhinestone Ribbon Slider and a Flat Back Pearl from Beady Bom Bom.  I made the leaf die cut using S5-129 Foliage Two and covered it with glitter.

I airbrushed the sky and the grass and on the inside of the tag with the sentiment. To create the tag I used S4-367 Back to Basics Tags die templates from Spellbinders.

I hope you enjoyed both of the projects I designed using Beach House 6 x 6 Mini Prints and Card Shoppe papers from Bazzill Basics Paper.  Thank you so much for stopping by today and good luck!!

Hugs & Smiles,

There will be a Grand Prize for one lucky winner plus smaller prizes along the way. . . so be sure to stop at each blog and leave a comment to be registered. Don't forget to also leave a comment on each main blog post at The Rubber Cafe too. We are celebrating the newest release called:

On the Fence Bundle

This bundle comes with a brand new exclusive die template manufactured by Spellbinders Paper Arts called On the Fence Die! What makes this die unique? It's versatility! At first glance, you might see just a fence but soon you'll realize it can be so much more. Follow us on the blog hop each day from August 27-31 to find out what all this die can do. Let's get started. 

Here is the Christmas ensemble that I designed using a few different products from the On the Fence Bundle and some accessories from The Rubber Cafe'.   I designed a Christmas Ornament and a little Christmas shape card.  I have a full step-by-step tutorial to show you how I designed the Christmas ornament.  

To start creating the rosettes I used old book pages and the On the Fence die template to cut out twelve fence die cuts.  The book pages are pretty thin so I was able to cut several pages at one time.

Then I hand cut all of the little tabs on the side of the die cuts.

Next I made two long strips gluing six (6)  fence die cuts end to end using Scrap Happy Sheer Glue.  

Fold each long strip with the peaks and valley folds or fan folds and then adhere each end to create the rosettes.  

For the smaller rosette trim the bottom edge off, about 1/2 an inch.

Then I used a circle punch and hot glued it to the back of the rosette.  I did this for each rosette.

Here is a picture so you can see the difference in size for the two rosettes.

Following the instructions on the ICE Resin package I mixed up the resin solution and let it sit for a few minutes before applying to the rosettes.  

To apply the ICE Resin I used a sponge brush.  I started on the back and made sure to get in between each fold.  Then I applied the ICE Resin to the front.  I held the rosette over the cup as I was applying the resin so the excess could drip back into the cup and there was no waste.  Now for the hard part--I had to let the rosettes sit over night to dry--without touching them!  LOL!  I left them on an old craft mat to dry.

Once the rosettes were dry I was able to pop them right off the craft mat.  I applied Scrap Happy Sheer Glue to the outer edges of the rosettes.

Then I applied You're So Fine Glitter Diamond Clear and tapped off the excess.

I applied a little more glue just to the tips of the rosettes and added You're So Fine Glitter Patriotic Red.

I used hot glue to adhere the two rosettes together.  Then for the embellishments I used a Faux Rhinestone Ribbon Slider with a large Flat Back Pearl from Beady Bom Bom and then I added Silver Filigree Jewelry Findings around the center piece.  I added Pearl Jellie Dots to the center of each filigree piece using Scrap Happy Sheer Glue and the Stick "EM" Up Tool from The Rubber Cafe'.

I made a dangling charm using a Maya Road Vintage Alterable Trinkets (chandelier charm) along with pearls, filigree pieces, chain, head pins and jump rings.  I made a tiny hole in the back of the rosette to hang the charm from.

I added some deep red ribbon for a hanger at the top and streamers at the bottom.  

I had so much fun designing this vintage style Christmas ornament and I bet you never would have guessed it was made using the On the Fence die template from The Rubber Cafe!  ;-) 

For my card I used the S-121 Window Garden  and C-342 Solid Holly stamp sets from The Rubber Cafe'.  I colored the window with Copic markers (listed below) and then for the holly and berries I used Distress Markers (listed below).  I inked the edges for the label with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  I also used S5-127 Labels Twenty-Eight, S4-385 Little Leaf Sets and S5-129 Foliage Two die templates from Spellbinders.  I used S5-127 Labels Twenty-Eight to create the shape card.  Then I die cut and extra label for the stamping and adhered it to the card front.  I added deep red ribbon and a Faux Rhinestone Ribbon Slider with a Flat Back Pearl.  Then for a little sparkle I added You're So Fine Glitter Diamond Clear & Patriotic Red to the die cut leaves and berries on the stamped image.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoy the New Release Blog Hop and all of the fantastic projects from the Design Team.  Please be sure to check out The Rubber Cafe' and all of the wonderful products they carry.

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi
