Succulent Stamp Fun

More Succulent Stamp Fun!

I've been having a wonderful time this past month using the newest release from JustRite Papercraft.  

My background stamp is from JustRite PaperCraft Succulent - Background Cling Stamps  and is great for experimenting with technique.  It's big and covers the entire background of an A2 card.  The size of the stamp is also ideal for folks who love mixed media ( and so many other crafting projects.) 

 Here is the gorgeous stamp.  

I have a number of other projects I made with this same stamp - and even a tutorial showing how I used the stamp: 

You can see the whole tutorial with my DIY bright cheery cards here

 You can see more warm and soothing examples here on my Hope-Butterfly card. 

But back to the card for today....

I used the Succulent stamp  to add dimensional layers simply by stamping onto colored cardstock and adding gold embossing powder for the outline of the stamp, then cutting the stamped images out.    I did use my amazing Misti Stamping Tool ( Most Incredible Stamping Tool  to stamp the images.  I'm hooked on that tool - just can't stamp without it these days.  

I added some accents to the edges of the cut-outs with Distress inks in Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade.

The layers add such a cool element.

Thanks a million.  You can follow JustRite on Facebook  to find out about the weekly sales.

Maja Design Purple Floral Card with JustRite Die

I'm here today to share my card combining many wonderful products - Petaloo accent flowers, JustRite Dies and Maja Design papers. 

Purple and green are among my favorite color combinations.  Toss in  rich chocolate brown color and you have the Fika collection from Maja Design.  

I adore this classic collection.  I did have to stop hoarding the paper and actually cut it up to use, however there is still a part of me that wants to hoard away forever.  But we all know in our hearts that paper is meant to be used and enjoyed on projects and not tucked away on a shelf. 

I accented the card with some fabulous purple Petaloo Flowers from the Botanica Collection - Baby Blooms .  They are a perfect match and help to add a delicate touch.  They also do not overwhelm the card.  

I've added a beautiful die from JustRite Papercrafts - A2 Graceful Lines Die .  This die was fun to use here because the green papers from the collection make this die pop with beauty and grace.

Oh the gorgeous Petaloo flowers here...

Thanks everyone for your constant support.

Succulent Stamp and Butterflies -Bold and Bright

Newly released and boldly gorgeous- JustRite has a new large cling stamp that has the full coverage needed for a card.  The size of this stamp is 4"x5.25" so it fits on an A2 card nicely. 

Background stamps are also great to use for texture on cards, tags, ATC's , scrapbook pages, mixed media projects and so much more.  

My background stamp is from JustRite PaperCraft Succulent - Background Cling Stamps  and is great for experimenting with embossing and inking.  This card actually was easy to make.  

Here are my quick steps 

Step. 1 - I stamped the image onto " Specialty Stamping Paper for Inks"  using Clear Embossing Ink and the  Misti Stamping Tool ( Most Incredible Stamping Tool ).   This helps provide a clear and crisp image.  I am not looking for a distressed image - I really am desiring a crisp clean image.   For this reason, I also did not choose to use distress embossing ink. 

Step. 2 -  I coated the specialty paper with clear  super fine embossing powder (white embossing powder works nicely here as well).   Heat and set with a heat embossing tool/heat gun. 

 Tip - With products like embossing powders, glitter and beads, I find that clean up is much easier when using a craft tray to help catch all the extra product.  I'm not really great at sweeping and vacuuming so I like to avoid that one task when possible. 

  

Step. 3 -  Pick some Distress inks and start blending.   I was able to blend gorgeous color combinations on the specialty stamping paper using various Distress Inks and blending tools.

Here is a list of the Distress Inks I used:

Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Squeezed Lemonade

Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Spiced Marmalade

Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Fossilized Amber

Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Rusty Hinge

Tim Holtz Distress Ink- Vintage Photo

I added a small sentiment using JustRite's Small Oval Wishes Stamp set.  This collection has a great variety of all purpose sentiments that seem to cover most occasions.  They are small sentiments that can be added and not overwhelm your beautiful artwork on the card.  

I stamped the word "HOPE" with black ink and covered with clear embossing powder (followed by a blast of the heat gun to set the embossing powder). to give is a crisp clean finish. 

Thanks for stopping here to look and share your time with me.  I appreciate this a great deal.

Wood Grain Background Stamp from JustRite

Background Stamps from JustRite

JustRite Papercraft has released some fabulous background cling stamps - great for cards and absolutely ideal for scrapbook pages, altered art, mixed media and so much more.   

Previously I showcased the  JustRite Brickwall Background Stamp Cling Stamp  ( you can see the card here) and today I am sharing the JustRite Papercrafts  -Woodgrain Background Stamp Cling Stamp .

This is a nice big cling stamp measuring 4.5"x 5.75" which will cover a large surface area.  This is what makes the stamp a great choice for mixed media and other crafting possibilities.     The stamp also delivers a crisp wood grain pattern .  You can be as bold as you want.  I opted to be a little light handed and less bold - stamping on texture paper for a distressed look.  

In addition to the JustRite Papercrafts  -Woodgrain Background Stamp Cling Stamp , I cut some JustRite Pinetree Dies  , layered them with foam tape, and mounted them on a decorative oval (JustRite Hello Decorative Oval Frame Dies ) a for a masculine and woodsy accent . 

Here is an additional closeup of the layering.  

My paper choice is the Fika Collection from Maja Design.  This is such a gorgeous collection that can easily transition from feminine application to a masculine strong project.  

Thanks for stopping by to see my card made with JustRite Papercraft's new release.

New Christmas Stamps for Easy Christmas Cards

JustRite's New Christmas Sentiment Stamps

Too soon to create Christmas cards?  nonsense.  Seems that as Autumn sets in, lives become hectic making time travel forward at the speed of light.  This is the perfect opportunity to work those Christmas cards into the craft table now, instead of later ( which in my case means after Christmas or never).

 I also struggle with sentiments on my cards.  I have horrible writing - like that of a small child.  JustRite has solved this particular problem for me with their amazing sentiment clear stamps.  

The newest sets from JustRite are appropriate religious themed sentiments for Christmas if that is what you prefer.  I chose a stamp set for winter.  

I created this winter card using JustRite's snowflake die  and Joy Oval Frame die along with the following stamps: JustRite Retro Sparkle Cling  Background Stamp -CL02067 and the new stamp set for Christmas : JustRite Snowflake and Tag Dies - DIE-05001

This is a closeup of the details of the sentiment stamp and the beauty of the background stamp.   I added some pearl dots to accentuate.  

Start your winter, holiday, Christmas and year round stamps with JustRite.  You can find their entire amazing selection right here.   

And as always - thanks for giving up a little of your precious time to visit me.

Flying Unicorns Card and JustRite Dies

 Flying Unicorns  September Kit of the Month

The September kit for the Flying Unicorns featured Prima's beautiful collection called Rossibelle.  I used the 6x6 papers from the collection to create this card. 

I used the negative from the JustRite die below,JustRite PaperCraft Dies - Hello Decorative Oval Frame Die .  I cut the die frame from black cardstock and then set the actual frame aside leaving the leftover scrap of black paper - which I am calling the negative.  

 I then positioned the negative space over the 6x6 Rossibelle paper so that some of the flowers were showing.  This was an easy card to make because I think the  negative space from the die did all the work here.  

I love to show how dimensional the card is.  It has a little "lift" but not a whole lot.  

Did you miss out this month? 

If you missed out on the Flying Unicorn kit for Sept., you may want to think about taking advantage of the pre-order option available on the 20th of every month.   The beauty of this option is that you get to preview all the goodies in the kit and decide if it is something you will like...and of course it will be!  You can find all the details here and never miss a kit that you want.
