Card - Flying Unicorns - June Kit

                          Flying Unicorns Kit for the Month of June

The Flying Unicorns kit for the month of June has a cool color scheme - black, gray, lime green and a touch of light green.  It's also brimming with Prima products.    The papers for June are from Prima's Salvage District collection.  

This card really plays up the lime green accent color with the Petaloo Botanica Anemone flower in pistachio.  

There are some cool elements that came in the kit that were perfect for adding interesting accents - micro balls in teal and seafoam colors- US ArtQuest Mini Prills.  I loved them!

If you look at the photo above, I have the following embellishments:

• Prima Stencil Mask Tile 584566
• Prima Heavy Gesso in white
• Sentiment stamp from JustRite Large Oval Sympathy Clear Stamp - CR05055 "Thinking of You" 
• 2Crafty Chipboard piece  called " Fancy Damask" with black inking
• Want to Scrap - Say it with pearls - sage green pearls 
• US ArtQuest Mini Prills - Seas the Day ANC844
• Prima Art Alchemy Acrylic paint Opal Magic - Green Gold paint

While the 2Crafty chipboard piece on this card is not a focal point, I actually believe it is the most essential element on the card giving it pop. 

I layered my flower over 2Crafty's piece  called " Fancy Damask".  Look at the fabulous intricacy in the image below. Absolutely gorgeous.

DIY Tutorial -Quick Cards in 10 Minutes with Banner Stamps From JustRite

10 Minute Cards using Banner Clear Stamps by JustRite

I love making cards. Mine tend to be ornate and embellished and quite decorative but I'm really starting to love simple, quick cards that people can actually make  with minimal supplies.   

That's exactly the beauty of stamps.  They can be used over and over again...and with the Planner Banner Stamps by JustRite , the possibilities are endless for personalized thoughtful cards. 

I do have some tips and a simple step-by-step to share that will make the process go quickly and successfully.  If you scroll down a bit, you'll see all three cards I made as samples to demonstrate the the versatility of the Banner Clear Stamps.  

Here is an image of the JustRite Planner Banner Alphabet Clear Stamps .  Fun right?  

 

For my first card I used the following stamps by JustRite Papercrafts with focus on the Banner Stamps:

Here is my step-by-step  with tips:

Step 1.  Paint design onto watercolor paper.  I am using Prima's Watercolor Confections - Classics set,  along with the Prima waterbrush.  It's really important to let this dry completely.  You can dry with a heat gun if you have one available.  Watercolor paints really do work best with watercolor paper.  

 Step 2.   After the watercolors are totally dry, you can decide where you'd like the banner to go and trace an arch for the banner ribbon onto the card.

I am a simple gal so I grabbed a glass from my cupboard and used that to make my perfect arch.  No need to get fancy on this 10 minute project. 

Step 3.  The arch will help you decide where to place your letters.  So much easier than guessing where your banner stamps should go (which is what I started out unsuccessfully doing).   At this point, once the stamps are as you desire, pull out your acrylic stamp block. 

Do NOT stamp yet.  I know you want to but fight the urge!

 Step 4.  OK now you can stamp.  Place your acrylic block over the stamps and pick them up as a complete set.  My suggestion is to do the banners and sentiment separately for better results.   At this point, you need to make sure the watercolors are bone dry for the best stamping results.  

Step 5.  Use the JustRite A2 Card Front Basic Dies to  quickly cut perfect colored background mats. Glue to pre-folded cards.    Continue to decorate the card as desired.  

The second card is bright and fun.  I had graduation in mind yet it's so versatile that it can really be for many occasions.  Card two and three are simply variations of the same card but show how colors ,make such a difference in the final result.  

These are the JustRite products used on card two and three.

Once again, card three is similar to card two, just showing the possibilities.
