Amazing Paper Grace Kit Club Inspiration Day 2!

Hello Everyone!!!  Have you heard the news??  Becca Feeken has started a new Kit Club!  I'm sure like me, many of you have been inspired by Becca's stunning creations and now you can purchase her very own kits!!  You can read all about it in her own words HERE!

There are limited kits each month and the fabulous September kits are........

There are a limited number of kits available for each month that can be purchased without becoming a kit club member.  For all the details on the Silver & Gold Memberships click here.

The JustRite girls have had the honour of playing with Becca's September Set early and you'll find links to their gorgeous work on the JustRite Blog!

My card was created with a base of blue bazzill and layered with very vanilla and some Authentique Journey paper.  Across this I've added some more blue with the edges cut with Spellbinders Classic Edges Two and some more Journey paper.  I've taken the round delivery element  and wavy lines from the Signed, Sealed, Delivered stamp set and stamped them in Memento Rich Cocoa over the DP.  Over this layered is a piece of ivory crochet lace and topped with some dark ivory satin ribbon.  I've stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics (E41, 42, 44, 47, B91, B45, YR12).  Around this I've stamped the postage stamp edge element in Memento Danube Blue (stamped off once to soften the colour) and cut it with scissors (sadly my dies are still swimming across the pacific).  I've popped it up on foam tape over blue card cut with Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight.  Next I've created my flower using Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and airbrushed a little G46 (leaves) and B45 (flower).  To finish I've added some Kaisercraft Chino Pearls to the corners.

If you've made your way here via Connie's Blog, then you are in the right place, if not, you may want to start back at the ODBD Blog so you don't miss any of the inspiration along the way!!!

Originally I was only going to use ODBD's Amazing Grace Hymn stamp, but then felt a little colourful butterfly was in order, so I've also used the two step butterfly and matching grunge butterfly die.  :)

This card is so easy to make!  All the die cuts are part of the Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles set!  First I've created the base of white using the largest die and then sponged a little Memento Summer Sky ink in the middle.  Then I cut more white using the next smallest die from the set, once again sponging a little ink in the middle and wrapping some blue satin ribbon around it.  Finally I stamped the Amazing Grace Hymn in Memento Rich Cocoa and cut it out using the next smallest die.  All the layers have been popped up on foam tape.  The butterfly solid stamp has been stamped using baby wipes, some rubbing alcohol and Copic Inks B05, V17, Y21 (the rubbing alcohol on the baby wipes makes the Copic Ink last longer before drying).  I've then over stamped the detailed stamp using Rich Cocoa.  To finish I've added a blue satin bow.

Stamps - Amazing Grace Hymn, 2 Step Butterflies (ODBD)
Paper - White Card
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa, Summer Sky
Accessories - Grunge Butterfly Die, Resplendent Rectangles, Copic Inks, Blue Satin Ribbon, Foam Tape.

Calla Lilies

Hello Everyone!!  Today over on the Flourishes Blog I have a quick tutorial on how to colour these white Calla Lilies for this week's Create With Me Monday.  :)

For the card itself, I've used a base of Old Olive and then a layer of white (pierced) and some October Afternoon Sidewalks DP.  Around this I've added a piece of white crochet lace and some yellow satin ribbon.  The Calla Lilies from the Flourishes set with the same name have been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics (see the Flourishes Blog for details).  It's been cut out with Large Circle Nestabilities (popped up on foam tape) and matted with olive (cut with Labels 1 Nestabilities) and white (Fancy Labels 1 Nestabilities).  The sentiment is from the same set and has been stamped directly onto the DP and accented with a few Kaisercraft Snow Pearls.

Stamps - Calla Lilies (Flourishes)
Paper - Blending Card, Old Olive, White, October Afternoon Sidewalk DP
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Copics, Labels 1, Fancy Labels 1, Large Circle Nestabilities, White Crochet Lace, Yellow Satin Ribbon, Kaisercraft Snow Pearls.

That's all for today, thanks for visiting and hope you are inspired to stamp!

JustRite August Christmas Release

Hello Everyone, today the JR girls are showcasing a couple more of the latest JustRite Papercraft Christmas Releases for this year!  I've used Antique Christmas Tags One and matched it with the Ever After Antique Labels from the July release.  At the rate I'm going, I'll have all my Christmas Cards done by September!!!  LOL!!!

I started this project by stamping the label image from Ever After Antique Labels in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured it with Copics (G40, G43, Y00).  It's been cut out with the matching JustRite Die called Antique Labels One Dies.  Next I stamped the frame from Antique Christmas Tags One in Memento Rhubarb Stalk and then the sentiment from the same set in Memento Tuxedo Black.  This has been cut out with the matching Antique Tags One Die and adhered to the top label image.  I've framed all this with a piece of Old Olive cut with Floral Oval Nestabilities and popped it up on foam tape over the base.  The base is made of a piece of Mitten Weather DP cut with Spellbinders Labels 25 (and attached a piece of clear ribbon) and then drew a line around the outside of the same die on a piece of white and hand cut it to make a matching layer.  Between the white and DP layers I've added a wide piece of May Arts green satin ribbon.  Finally I added a little bling to the top and bottom for a little sparkle.  :)
