Vintage Ornaments 34

Hi There! I had some time to play today so I would like to share a few things I made:
First up, using a LF-190 Grand Labels Four die template, I made this Festive wall hanging featuring the image with a trio of Vintage ornaments from the JustRite Vintage Christmas 3 1/4" set. For sketch inspiration, I played along with this week's JustRite Friday Challenge #033. I flipped the sketch so I could highlight all three lil' ornaments each paired with a different frame from the Hearts Come Home 2" set.

After stamping the ornament image, I cut each lil' one out & colored them using an assortment of Copic Markers. Using a foam square, I popped each one up then adhered a lil' bow & pearl.

Next up, I made this card featuring the complete trio of Vintage ornaments in it's entirety:

This cluster of ornaments makes a wonderful focal point - don't you think?

After inking up the trio of ornaments image, I used a S4-114 Standard Circles LG die template to cut/emboss the image & a larger S4-114 Standard Circles LG die template to cut/emboss the circular sentiment. Up close, you can see how flawlessly these JustRite images fit with the Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® die templates.

Here is the collection of Copic Markers I used on both of these projects:

That's all for today - I hope you get some crafty time to yourself this weekend! Thanks for looking :)

Sew Many Buttons... 31

Hi There! Here today to share a card that I made using a few of my favorite products ;) a JustRite stamp along with a few Spellbinders™ die templates. For sketch inspiration, I played along with this week's JustRite Friday Challenge #021. In case you weren't aware, JustRite Stampers offers a weekly challenge for all to play along with! So ink up your JustRite Stampers, head on over to the JustRite Blog & join along in the fun :)I inked up just one of the sweet images from the JustRite Stampers Stitched with Love Borders & Centers 2 3/8" set then colored it using a few Copic markers. Once the heart image was colored, I centered & adhered a Spellbinders Nestabilities™ S4-114 Standard Circles LG die template in position then ran it through The Wizard™ first to cut it out then, repeating the step using a tan mat to emboss the edge. Using another size Spellbinders Nestabilities™ S4-114 Standard Circles LG die template, I cut out the circular sentiment & layered it on a scalloped circle that was cut with a S4-124 Classic Scalloped Circles LG die template. Not having my sewing machine on hand ;), I hand stitched the edges.
Thanks so much for looking! I will be back tomorrow with my offering for The Play Date Cafe creativity challenge. Be Sweet!

I also have a card to share today :)
I hopped along with the JustRite Mega Blog Hop last week & gained so much inspiration! So much eye candy to admire :) I paired this pretty JustRite image from the Breath of Spring set with this soft, subtle DCWV DP. I used the Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles Large to cut out the floral image, then layered it on top of a scalloped frame cut using the Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles Large.

I don't have any JustRite sentiment stamps in my collection so I inked up the "Hope" image from the Gina K Lovely Labels set. Stitched on a strip of lace, tied a bow & attached the lil' tag!
