Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop - November Ribbon Club

Good morning blogging friends! Today, is the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop for the month of November. The RRR Design Team Members and Special Event Design Team Members will be showcasing the Monthly Ribbon Club.


There is a beautiful assortment of Gold and Silver Ribbons included in the November Monthly Ribbon Club. Click HERE for more details.

If you are following the order of the blog hop you should have just come from Joanna's Blog. If not and you just happened to pop in for a visit please click HERE to start the blog hop at the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog.


For my project I altered an 8 x 8 canvas creating a beautiful wall hanging for Christmas. I used Graphic 45 Happy Holiday & A Christmas Carol from Christmas Emporium Collection.


I started with a plain white canvas and painted the sides and edges with ECO Green Crafts Black ECO-Friendly Acrylic Paint. While the canvas was drying I started working on the paper design.


I edged the Graphic 45 paper with gold ribbon along the top and side. To adhere the sparkling gold ribbon I used MyStik Adhesive Tape Runner. The adhesive hold the ribbon perfectly in place.


Then I trimmed the image of the family by the Christmas tree and layered it with Simply Smooth Ivory cardstock and then I added the image to the background paper.


I added Baby Bling Red Rhinestones from Want2Scrap and Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap to the Christmas tree and I also added glitter to the frame around the image.


Next I added a bow made with the sparkling gold ribbon to the top of the canvas and added a Bo Bunny Father Christmas Trinket.


Here is a close up of the bow and you can even see the sparkle from the ribbon in the picture.


For the bottom corner I added a Prima Holiday Poinsettia and added Amber Rhinestones from Want2Scrap to the center of the flower.



For a finishing touch I added Finesse Swirls White Pearls and Amber Rhinestones to the center of the swirls. I hope you enjoyed my project and it gives you some inspiration to make your own Christmas wall hanging.

JustRite Stampers - New Release - Scrolled Vine Background Stamp & Vintage Wallpaper Background Stamp

Good morning blogging friends! Today, I have two New Release Background Stamps from JustRite Stampers to share with you. Both of these background stamps are so Beautiful!! But before I get started I wanted to let you know that JustRite Stampers is having a Christmas Sale - 25% off Every Christmas Stamp- Cling, Clear, Original. It's a web sale -- no coupon code required!! So be sure to check it out!


Here is the first card I designed using CL-03555 Scrolled Vine Background Stamp and CL-02150 Deck the Halls. I love the beautiful scrolling vines!


To start I stamped the image using Frost White pigment ink from Clearsnap and heat set it to dry. I also inked the edges of the cardstock to give the edges a nice soft look.


I used S5-055 Layered Poinsettia to create the die cuts, shaped the flowers and leaf with a stylus and then layered the flowers.


To add a little sparkle I added Pralines & Cream Glitter to the scrolling vines and the poinsettia.


Here is a close up of the glitter.

Dies: Spellbinders Grand Calibur, S5-055 Layered Poinsettia

For my second card I used CL-03550 Vintage Wallpaper Background Stamp and CL-02150 Deck the Halls. I was so happy with how the background turned out! The colors are so soft with a touch of glimmer.


To create the background I used three colors of Distress Ink--Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen and Walnut Stain and inked up the stamp starting with the lightest color, then the medium and then the darkest. Instead of adding water to blend the inks I lightly misted the stamp with Tattered Rose Glimmer Mist. I laid the paper on top of the stamp and used a brayer to go over the paper and transfer the ink.


Here is a close up of the background stamp and the glimmer mist.


The sentiment is from CL-02150 Deck the Halls. I used the Standard Circles Small and S5- Fancy Tags Three from Spellbinders to create the die cuts. Then I added Nestabling Fancy Tags Three White Pearls.


I used S4-340 Create-A-Flake Three for the snowflake and then added some white pearls.

Halloween BOO Layout!

Hello and Happy Halloween!!

I thought that since today is Halloween it would be a great time to share this layout with you. This is a picture of my youngest son and myself at his Cub Scout Halloween party a few weeks ago. All of the boys dressed up and some of the parents did too. Check out the bling on my face--it's Finesse Swirls Black Rhinestones and 72 Count Purple Rhinestones! Now that is thinking outside the box and taking it off the page LOL!

To start I used Style D Chipboard Embellishments, inked them with Tuxedo Black and then added 72 Count Lavender Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™and Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap.

Next I created several Halloween die cuts using S4-279 Graveyard Scenes and Shapes, S4-280 Halloween Scenes and Shapes, S4-282 Witches Brew, S4-277 Nested Bats die templates from Spellbinders™. Then I lightly inked them with Brilliance Starlite Silver to make the embossing pop.


I created a border along the bottom of the layout with the Halloween die cuts.

I added Ranger Orange Peel Stickles to the window in the haunted house and Flower Soft Sage for the grass.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you all have a Happy, Fun & Safe Halloween!!

The card base is a Soot (black) paper from Discount Cardstock and the pattern paper is from Echo Park the Apothecary Emporium 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

Crafty Secrets Rose Music Note Cards

Hello Blogging Friends! Today, I have a set of four greeting cards using Crafty Secrets Creating with Vintage Patterns CD, Grand Greetings and Mini Frames Stamp Sets.


I just love the shabby chic look for this card set! I used the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD to design the pattern paper. I used the Music Notes and then layered Rose Clusters on the top.

I used the image of the postage stamp from the Mini Frames stamp set from Crafty Secrets and then I used S4-348 Postage Stamps die templates to create the die cut shapes.


I used Grand Greeting stamp set from Crafty Secrets for all of the sentiments.


Next I added a seam binding bow and some twine, punched a hole in the faux postage stamp and tied a bow.


For a finishing touch I added a charm, glitter and some pearls.

Using the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD allowed me to design my own pattern paper and these cards came together so quick and easy! Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

JustRite Stampers - New Release - Fleur de Lis Labels Twenty

Good morning blogging friends! Before we start the November Release, JustRite would like to say thank you to all of our loyal blog and facebook fans!! JustRite appreciates each and everyone who visits and reads our post. As their way of saying thank you the blog team has an exclusive coupon code for our blog readers and facebook fans. Simply use this code JRBLOGTEAM (use all CAPS) during check out to receive 20% off your entire order including sale items. Coupon Code expires October 31st and can not be combined with any other Coupon Code offers.


Here is the card that I designed using CL-02210 Fleur de Lis Labels Twenty from JustRite Stampers. I am totally loving the November New Releases!!


I started by stamping the two label images with Frost White ink on to Kraft paper from Discount Cardstock. I heat set the ink for faster drying time because it's pigment ink. Then I used S5-026 Labels Twenty die templates from Spellbinders to cut/emboss the shapes and I used Rich Cocoa Ink to edge the die cuts.


For the pattern paper I used My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Blush Collection. To add the scalloped ribbon along the bottom I used the Sew Ribbon Tool from We R Memory Keeper. I love this new little tool--it is so easy to use!


I added a white crepe paper ruffle around the largest label. The crepe paper ruffles are so easy yo do, just get a roll of crepe paper from the party section at a dept store (streamers). The crepe paper comes in many different colors and if you can't find the color you are looking for then get white and you can ink to spray mist the color to match your project. I added Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter from Clearsnap to the ruffle edge and the smaller label.


Using the stamps I created a border along the bottom of the paper and then I added Baby Bling LeCreme Pearls from Want2Scrap™.


Here is a close up of the pretty little butterflies I added to the top corner with pearls.


Here is a close up of the stamped images. I added a seam binding bow, pink crochet flower, rhinestone button and a trinket pin. I am so fortunate my aunt Gail makes all of my pretty crocheted flowers and I love using them on projects!



Here is a close up of the border along the bottom. I just love the look of the stamped images, ribbon and pearls!
