Hi there blog friends!!!  This is an exciting month because there are so many fabulous stamps to create with!!  Today is Preview Day 1 of the new October releases with Waltzingmouse Stamps and I have to tell you, I had an absolute hissy fit over this new set.  There wasn’t really an opportunity for me to do Christmas cards last year, so this year I’m savoring all the sights and sounds of a crafty Christmas.  Today I have a card to share along with a little snicky snack gift and a tag to go along with.  These were simple items to put together and are they every putting me in the mood for Christmas.  We won’t divulge exactly how much of that Christmas Carmel Corn I consumed (um…quality tested) while making up the tag and wrappings :-)


So, Claire has put together another smashing set of labels called Seasonal Remedies, that will lend themselves very well to items of the food variety and even items of the beverage variety. You can spin them to make them work out for just about whatever you want.
.
I made my card base using Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities then on another layer that I scored with my Scor-Buddy, I created a medallion using Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tag and Accents  followed by Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen then stamped my label and cut it using Spellbinders™ Labels Fifteen – a perfect match!  I topped off with Spellbinders™ Postage Stamps that I bordered with some Zva Creative pearls in my stash. The sentiment is stamped on Spellbinders™ Nested Lacey Pennants.     For the tag on my caramel corn I used Spellbinders™ Small Labels, then cut out a frame using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Seasonal Remedies
Paper:  PTI Kraft, Neenah Classic Crest Cream, The Paper Company
Ink: Colorbox Chocolate Roan Chalk Ink, Pigment Red, Versafine Vintage Sepia (with clear embossing powder), Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen, Spellbinders™ Labels Fifteen, Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tag and Accents, Spellbinders™ Postage Stamps, Spellbinders™ Nested Lacey Pennants, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Small Labels, Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities, Zva Creative Pearls, Felt Stickers (World Market), Mesh Ribbon (World Market), Recollections Pearls, Prima Lace, seam binding

Everyone on the design team has been workin’ up a storm!!  I hope you can pop in and have a peek at what they have been working on!!

    Hi Becca
    Certainly is festive. Love the mesh ribbon! Maybe now I will be in the mood to continue my Christmas cards and gifts. I actually made a start a couple of weeks ago but soon ran out of festive oomph and gave up! Maybe I need to play some Christmas music, eat a mince pie and have a glass of wine to get into the “spirit”… Or maybe not! I am enjoying seeing your creations for
    inspiration.
    love Christine xReplyCancel

  • SandieOctober 12, 2011 - 4:45 am

  • Lynn MercurioOctober 12, 2011 - 5:17 am

    Stunning, Becca. I realize I must use that adjective a lot when I comment on your projects, but that is the first word that comes to mind. I love the way you have framed the labels in such a way to really bring out their “essence”. Your layers and colors are so appealing. Love them both!ReplyCancel

  • DeniceOctober 12, 2011 - 9:54 am

    Sooooo pretty. My mom always gets in the Christmas spirit early too. Me…. well for some reason I find myself singing Christmas songs in summer time. I wonder if that might be because that is closer to the real birth date of Jesus. Who knows, I guess if it were important to know the real birth date, God would have made it known for sure in the Bible. Wouldn’t it be nice if we ALL had the Christmas spirit year round? Loving, Kindness, Giving, year round. What a much nicer world it would be. All my best to you and your family, God bless…… DeniceReplyCancel

    Well of course you had to run quality control tests on the caramel corn! If you intend to give it as a gift, the quality much match that of the packaging and card! Since they are incredible…well it’s obvious you had to “test”! LOL. Gorgeous set!

Hi there blog friends. Yes, I know I’ve been missing. I decided to try to conquer the new (had it since January) HD video camera and software I have.  Sheesh, I don’t think I’m winning but at least I have something to show for my absence and I’m encouraged to keep with it.  It’s so much of a better setup for me but it’s honestly waaaaay, way, way over my head.   Oh, the grumbling that came from my room.    It seems that I had to research every next step to figure things out.  Anyway, I’m riding without my training wheels now and hopefully this will let me produce better videos in the future!   Be sure to click the resolution button (it probably says 240p or 360p) and watch in HD, it’s much clearer!!!!

I did a walk through of how to make the triangle shaped Christmas Tree favor boxes that I showed on my JustRite Stampers Post and hopefully I can get to some of the tutorials and such that have been piling up on my to do list.    Enjoy!!

 

Oh gosh, I’ve missed you all!!

  • Charlotte ZweigoronOctober 11, 2011 - 8:19 am

    Thanks for the tutorial. I had to try it right away! Mine came out a little more squat because I was using a Cheery Lynn doily die cut which I cut into pieces along the solid areas within the doily to make the four sides very lacy. I am busily experimenting with other sizes for the four sides because I don’t have any of these wonderful stamps. Got to make do with what I have! So good to have you back on the tutorial trail! I feel silly saying I love this project because I love ALL your projects!! Just wish I could get some of your cards to add to my collection of my favorite designer’s works… You are #1 in a circle of four including Tim Holtz, Andrea Ewen and Teresa Kline. #1!!!ReplyCancel

  • HeatherOctober 11, 2011 - 8:38 am

    I was so happy to hear all was well – and that you had a tutorial for us!
    You are such a whipper-snapper. I would have had to have the template then search for the stamp, whereas you create as you go along. A ‘true’ use of creativity-lol. I’ll be making these as table toppers (I may leave off the trunks, we’ll see) and will try using a vellum with a battery candle inside. Won’t know if I don’t try, right?
    Thanks, as always, for sharing with us Becca!ReplyCancel

    Great to see you back, and the tutorial looks wonderful (I took your advice and watched in glorious HD)!
    As others have mentioned, I really love how you walk us through how you created a shape/idea/etc. by using straight-forward spatial reasoning rather than a template. Templates are great, but your work empowers me to figure things out myself (especially when forging new paths that don’t have templates!). Even when I just re-create a project you’ve already perfected, the “constructive” part of my brain gets wonderful exercise. Thank you so much for that.ReplyCancel

  • Sue AlgOctober 13, 2011 - 11:35 am

    You are truly a paper engineer. To have the vision to create a box from a triangle stamp is a wonderful talent. I thought your video was great and it appears you have learned how to use your new equipment. Thanks for much for sharing your videos because I think most people are visual learners.ReplyCancel

    Becca, Love all your cards and Turtorials. I have a Beeca file on my computer! Would you please do a step by step photo turtorial on how to make this Christmas Tree Box? I tried to write down the steps as I was following the vidieo (twice), but I am sure I missed some steps.

    Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Dee DiGiambattistaNovember 3, 2011 - 3:21 pm

    Becca, you are brilliant!! I made one of these and I was okay up until I had to tape down the flap and I taped the wrong one down. So close, I should have taped the one next to it. I Will try it again and I’m confident I will be successful. I am going to try to make this as an advent for my grandson for Christmas, I think it would be wonderful!! Thank you for your great ideas!! P.S. I hope this is okay with you.ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends!  Yep, box mode again!   I can’t explain why but I’m rolling with it and it’s a good change of pace for me.  This is another of the October JustRite Stampers releases and this one is called O Christmas Tree.  I love the font and love the shape!!   I stamped the shape multiple times, scored and came up with a simple box that will work for place settings and favors and can be opened by a flap on the bottom.


Some of the smaller Spellbinders elements were used on the favors.  The two smaller elements from Spellbinders™ Layered Poinsettias were used on the red tree while Spellbinders™ 2011 Snowflake Pendants were used on the gold and white tree,

I stamped the three stamp four times in a fan arrangement and scored between each stamping.  Before cutting I allowed for a 3/8″ flap on one side and 1″ on all the bottoms.  I then matched the right sized Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG and cut it on a fold to fashion a flap that I adhered to one of the 1″ flaps.  That let my box close on the bottom.  Then I cut a strip of paper 4 1/2″ long and scored it at 1″ intervals, turned and scored 1/2″ in.   This made the trunk of the tree – once assembled, I attached it to the bottom lid with glue dots.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – O Christmas Tree
Paper: Bazzill, Kraft, Strathmore Bristol
Ink: Versamark and Embossing Powder, Colorbox Chalk Ink – Warm Red, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Layered Poinsettias,  Spellbinders™ 2011 Snowflake Pendants,  Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, pearl brad, embossing powder, seam binding

Quite a few of the JustRite Desigers worked with this set and their links are listed below:

    You are just so creative and such an inspiration! I recently came across you’re blog and have tried out a few of your ideas. They are so much fun. Thank you for getting my creative juices flowing again and for sharing your talent. One day I’m going to tackle the awesome pop up bird cage card. That’s my absolute favorite.ReplyCancel

  • Charlotte ZweigoronOctober 3, 2011 - 9:13 am

    Wonderful ornament to hang on your tree!!!
    I love the colors also but can see that it would look good in many colors.

    I always make the younger kids a ornament for when the get old enough to have a tree of their own. Or some already do!!
    This just may be the one I do.
    Thanks Becca for sharing a great idea.ReplyCancel
