JustRite May '13 Release-Day 6

Hello and welcome back to the last day of JustRite Papercraft's May stamp set release inspiration hops!  Today I just had to use this gorgeous new Botanical Postcard Background to dress up the cover of my 5" x 7" Copic sketch book / art journal:

I also used Becca Feeken's new Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Journal Covers. The beautiful frame from this set was stamped in Versamark around the edges of the eggplant background and the words "Art Journal" from the set were stamped in black at the bottom: 

The swirls on each side of the Art Journal words are from Becca's Mix and Match Sentiments, also stamped in Versamark.  I stamped the botanical background with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto Sandy Beach dark cream cardstock and colored it with these Copic Sketch markers:

I hand trimmed the botanical background and popped it up on Copic Foam Tape.  Pretty lavender seam binding from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store ties up and completes this journal.

JustRite May '13 Release

Today is the first day of JustRite's May release inspiration blog hops. The first new stamp set we have to show you is this floral beauty -- Irises Vintage Labels Four:

I used it to make this 6" x 5" Mother's Day card:

I used JustRite's coordinating Custom Vintage Labels Four Dies to cut the image, after stamping it with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto Neenah Natural White cardstock. These are the Copic Sketch Markers and Atyou Spica Glitter Pens I used to color the image:

I found Spellbinders' Labels 28 to be a nice complimentary die shape to the stamp image, so I die cut two coordinating patterns of My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing 6x6 papers to layer on Copic Foam Tape behind the Iris. To help accentuate the die cut shapes, I used Copic YR23 and BG53 to outline the embossed edges of the patterned papers:

I stamped one of the sentiments, "Mom", onto the lower right corner of the card front and added a punched butterfly accent.

You can see more samples of this beautiful stamp set today from these JustRite designers:

JustRite Secret Garden

Hello and happy weekend!  I have a bright, cheery spring/summer thank you card to share with you today:

The beautiful background is JustRite's Secret Garden background stamp, airbrushed with a rainbow of Copic markers (RV09, YR04 and Y08), then spritzed with Copic Colorless Blender Solution and stamped onto Copic X-Press It Blending Card:

The background was trimmed a little and mounted to an A2-sized (4.50" x 5.50") black card base.

The beautiful Thank You sentiment (from JustRite's Clear Vintage Banners) was stamped with black ink and then die cut with JustRite's coordinating custom Vintage Label & Banner dies and positioned over a black ribbon bow with Copic Foam Tape and accented with a tiny paper flower:

I hope you have a bright and cheery weekend!

JustRite April Release Day 2

Today's JustRite Papercraft April stamp set release being featured is this pretty cling mount red rubber True Friends Vintage Labels Four:

I  love those pretty little flowers, scrolls and wonderful sentiments! I used this set to create my 6" x 6" April calendar:

I stamped this wonderful frame onto Neenah Natural White cardstock with Memento Gray Flannel ink, to match the grays in the My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart-Be Amazing 6x6 patterned paper I used. Then I colored the image with these Copic markers, also to match with the patterned paper:

Copic markers: BG11, BG53 & BG49 (flowers), Y21 (stripes and airbrushed center sentiment), YG03 & YG63 (leaves).  The flowers were accented with tiny yellow gemstones. The center sentiment was stamped with Memento Teal Zeal ink and then both the label and sentiment were die cut with JustRite's coordinating Vintage Labels Four dies and popped up with Copic Foam Tape. The center sentiment was airbrushed with Copic Y21 marker while the cardstock was still in the die:

I hand cut the kite embellishment from coordinating Be Amazing paper and wrapped it with silver sparkle twine! To finish my calendar, I stamped the pretty swirls from this stamp set onto the upper right corner, to the top left of the label, and on the bottom of the calendar wtih Memento Summer Sky ink.
