Greetings!! It’s raining buckets today at my house so I’m putting up this cute little urchin to brighten the day!! I hope it’s sunny where you are and you are enjoying the weekend. I’m getting ready for CHA but between chores, sit down to stamp so that hopefully I will have stuff to show next week. It’s my first time at CHA so I’m hoping to blog pictures from there too!
On to my card today, this is undoubtedly one of my favorite Magnolias – it is Tilda #284 with Sunflower. She is available at the Magnolia-licious site. Tip – for each stamp in inventory, there is a picture that accompanies it to show you an example of how to color it. I know this helps a lot of people as a jumping off point to pick their own colors.
I colored Tilda and cut her out with Spellbinders Labels Four which I backed with the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Pendant. Because someone will ask, the green layer behind the Labels four layer is the same size as the one Tilda is on. What I did was slice the Label Four die by cutting off the top, then bottom. The largest center piece I cut down the middle vertically. I reconstructed the Labels Four but spread it out slightly so that it appears to be a larger backing layer. This is a great way to fake it! This one didn’t need any camoflaging but if anything were glaring, what I would do is disguise it by covering it with my flower. On the bottom edge of my image I added the smaller sunflower from Spellbinders Sunflower Set Two and the center was made using a round punch.

Thanks for stopping by a and have a great day!!
I guess you could say that I’m coming up for air :) Sorry to have been sooooo absent, I’ve been working on some things for CHA I forgot how much time really goes in to the thought and process of creating. I’ve literally been living in the craft room for the last two weeks and have been woefully missing from commenting on blogs and seeing what’s going on out in the craft world. So today I’m sharing something I made quite some time ago, but hadn’t had a chance to share. This is a blank card using Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, Eyelets Borderabilites, Fancy Scallop Pierceability and Classic Scalloped Circles, Large. It’s not my normal style, but the slots on that die template were just screaming for some ribbon to be threaded through them so, I gave in and did it, lol. For the ribbon that’s threaded as a star, I simply twisted the ribbon to make each point before threading the ribbon into the next hole. The ribbon threaded through the Borderability is simply knotted.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: None
Paper: The Paper Company – Blonde Columns, Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink: None
Accessories: Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, Spellbinders Eyelets Borderabilities, Spellbinders Fancy Scallop Pierceability, Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Lage, Ribbon, Pearl, Button

Greetings!! In need of a card for a friend who is having a hard time, I set out to find something in the new selections from JustRite Stampers that would fit the bill. From the JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers set I narrowed my choices down to Sending Hugs although several of the other sentiments work for this occasion too!! As you know, I am really smitten with the Spellbinders Pendants and I’m especially excited that they stack so well between the items in each set, with other sets, with Nestibilities and with the JustRite borders and centers!
In this case I started out on the bottom with Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, which serves as a base. Then I layered on the Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, followed by the Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts Pendant with the center cut out. I folded the Pendant 8 times then glued the ruffled pendant into place with glue dots. Next I layered two of the Renaissance Hearts Centers with glue dots as well. I stamped my JustRite Tiny Words Border and punched it out with my 1 1/4" round punch then stamped the JustRite Tiny Words Center and punched it out with my 1" round punch. Using three of the Renaissance Hearts Accent Pieces, I snipped out the center with scissors then used each accent as a buckle, holding it into place with a corsage pin. The corsage pin was longer than I needed it to be so I cut them shorter with my wire cutters.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers
Paper: Bazzill, American Crafts, The Paper Company
Ink: Colorbox Pink
Accessories: Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts Pendant, Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, EK Success 1 1/4" round punch, EK Success 1" round Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Corsage pins, Ribbon |
Okay, heading out to put this in the mail to my friend!! Thanks for stopping by and just a hint – more JustRite goodness is on the horizon so stay tuned!
