Sweet & Sassy Birthday

Good morning blogging friends! Today I have a fun, bright and cheery birthday card to share with you.


Personal, I am not usually one for the brighter colors but I had so much fun coloring this CR-02230 Toppsy Turvy Cake image from JustRite and adding all of the pretty and colorful bling from Want2Scrap®.


I used Copic markers to color the image and then used Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and S4- Labels Fourteen to cut/emboss the shape. Then I layered the die cut, Nestaboard Labels Fourteen and Nestabling Labels Fourteen Hot Pink Rhinestones. I colored the paper doily with glimmer mist and added some die cut accent pieces from S5-071 Twisted Metal Tags & Accents.


For the rose I used S4-352 Spiral Blossom Two from Spellbinders. Once the rose was rolled I added glimmer mist and glitter to match the Nestabling and Ribbon. The ribbon is from the Shimmer Satin Bright Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon. I also added some Baby Bling Turquoise Rhinestones to the cake and corners of the card and Baby Bling White Pearls to the swirl die cut accents.

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

Hugs & Smiles,
Heidi

Fall Sneak Peek Blog Hop for Crafters Home Day One

Join Spellbinders™ Paper Arts and Crafters Home as we celebrate a
Fall Sneak Peek!




Spellbinders and participating stores in the Crafters Home Buying Group are excited to introduce three new die template sets sold exclusively through Crafters Home stores through January! You’ll have to wait until February to find these die template designs in non-member stores.

These new dies are in stock! Get yours now at a participating Crafters Home store! Please see the Spellbinders Blog for the list of participating stores.

Visit the Spellbinders Blog November 14 - 16 to see a new Spellbinders die template revealed each day! Visit designer blogs to enter the daily contests and see inspiring projects using the new releases. Comment on Designers Blogs and the Spellbinders Blog count as entries into daily drawings. Daily winners receive all three of the new designs!


Today's new die is S4-341 Wavy Rectangles
Dimensions

1: 3/8 x ½”

2: 1 1/8 x 1 ¼”

3: 1 7/8 x 2 1/8

4: 2 ¾ x 3 1/8”

5. 3 5/8 x 4 ¼”



For my project I designed an altered Autumn canvas and matching card ensemble using the NEW S4-341 Wavy Rectangles, S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two and Precious Metals Premium Craft Foil (copper) from Spellbinders. This would make a perfect hostess gift for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.

I started with a white 6 x 6 canvas that I picked up at the dollar store. I used Black ECO-Friendly Acrylic Paint from ECO Green Crafts to paint the entire canvas.


Next I used the S4-341 Wavy Rectangles #4 and #5 to create the fame die cut. I lined up the die templates and used some removable tape to hold in place while cutting/embossing with the Grand Calibur.


Once I cut/embossed the frame then I lightly sanded the paper. I used Bronze Metallic paper from Discount Cardstock. I love the look that is achieved when sanding the Bronze Metallic paper, the under tones of the black really pop.


To create the other die cuts I used S4-341 Wavy Rectangles #2 and S5-073 Orchard Harvest Tags & Accents. For the leaves I used Precious Metals Premium Craft Foil (copper) from Spellbinders and lightly sanded all of the pieces.


I used 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to layer the die cuts along the side of the canvas.


For the stamped image I used Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black ink and CL-02200 Autumn Labels Twenty-Two from JustRite. I used S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two to create the die cut. Then I used Ranger Peeled Paint, Rusty Hinge and Fired Brick Distress Inks to add color to the image. The border was colored using Copic Marker E29 Burnt Umber.


Once all of the die cuts were layered and added to the canvas then I added the embellishments.



I used Finesse Swirls Brown Rhinestones and 72 Count Sage Green Pearls from Want2Scrap® and also added some berries and a silk leaf.



For the card I used several of the same supplies as the canvas. I used S4-341 Wavy Rectangles to create a shape card. For the stamp set I used CR-02225 Autumn Words from JustRite.

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.

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.



Supplies
Scrolled Vine Background Card~
Stamps: JustRite Stampers CL-03555 Scrolled Vine Background Stamp, CL-02150 Deck the Halls
Paper: Discount Cardstock Really Red, Kraft, Posh Hemlock Felt
Ink: Clearsnap Frost White Pigment Ink; Tsukineko Memento Rich Cocoa
Dies: Spellbinders Grand Calibur, S5-055 Layered Poinsettia
Accessories: Want2Scrap™ 72 Count White Pearls; Clearsnap Pralines & Cream Fairy Dust Glitter, Glue Gloss



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.
