Stamping With Sheryl

JustRite Christmas Blog Hop!

Good Monday Morning!  Today is the big day for the JustRite Christmas Blog Hop!  I have a card and a box to share with you.  The new JustRite Stampers set that I'm showcasing is called "Merry Little Christmas Borders and Centers".  It's a great set to have on hand for all of your Christmas projects.  Take a look.

 

I love the sentiment on this stamp..."Snowflakes are Winter's butterflies".  I used Taken with Teal and Ruby Red Stampin' Write Markers to color in my image.  I stamped it twice so I could layer the circles.  I used the 1 3/4", 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches.  Then I used my Big Shot and Snowflake #2 Bigz Die in Ruby Red.  Since snowflakes are butterflies, they can be red, lol!

I used Holiday Lounge Designer Series Paper for the background and a Ruby Red card base.  The neutral color in the Holiday Lounge DSP is Sahara Sand, but the Kraft Taffeta Ribbon is a great match.

Here's the box I created.  Last holiday season I made a box similar to this one and provided a tutorial that you can see here.  The only difference (besides paper choices) is that I used the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Windows Movers and Shapers that will be in the new Holiday Mini on September 1.  I used the die to make a "peek a boo" cut out.

 

Here's a better look at the JustRite Stampers stamp. 

 

I used Real Red card stock with the Scallop Envelope Bigz Die and Big Shot.  The box part is constructed with Chocolate Chip card stockI used Merry Moments Designer Series Paper as well.  I stamped the JustRite Stampers on a piece of acetate with Black Stazon.  Then I used Sharpie Markers to color the backside of the image.

The final touch on my box is Chocolate Chip Grosgrain around the entire lid and a bow from the Real Red Polka Dot Ribbon (a must have in the ribbon department!).  You can get a taste of this ribbon and all the new ribbon in my ribbon share!

I hope you enjoyed my JustRite examples.  You probably came from Terre Frye's.  Next on the list is Bonnie Sharp.  In case you get lost along the way, here's the Master List:

Totally Tool

I try to incorporate one "masculine" card at each Stamp Camp.  So for August's Stamp Camp, this was one of the choices.

 

I tried to get the feel of a "tool belt" with this card.  It did require a lot of cutting, but well worth it I think.

We stamped the different tools from Totally Tool on Basic Gray and  Real Red (tape measure).  Then we stamped again on More Mustard and cut out the handles and lever on the tape measure.  We paper pieced these pieces.  The tools are all popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Then, Night of Navy Grosgrain completes the belt.  Mini Glue Dots hold the ribbon down in between the tools.

The Creamy Caramel panel is textured with the Big Shot and Texture #4 Plates.  I think this particular texture plate is very masculine looking, although I've seen it used with "girly" projects too!

Lastly, we punched out the sentiment with the Word Window Punch and attached it to a Real Red Large Oval Punch.

Don't forget to stop by tomorrow.  It's the JustRite Christmas Blog Hop, starting at 8am Eastern.  You'll get to feast your eyes on all kinds of great ideas using "A Merry Little Christmas".  I'm excited to show you what I created!

Thanks for the visit!

JustRite Stampers Mojo Monday

Did you notice the JustRite Stampers Blog Hop badge that I have?  That's right--I'm participating in their Christmas Blog Hop on August 17th!  Make sure you check back and see all of the awesome ideas for your Christmas cards and projects.

To start preparing you for the big day, I thought I would incorporate the JustRite Favorite Occasions set with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.

 

I stamped the JustRite image and border with Black Stazon on SU!'s Watercolor Paper and watercolored it with reinkers and AquaPainter.  The colors I used are Soft Suede, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Elegant Eggplant and Ruby Red.  The circles are punched with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

I used the "thanks so much" from Sincere Salutations and stamped it on Confetti White with Soft Suede ink.  It's matted on Soft Suede.  I also used Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper (which is what inspired my colors) and matted them on Elegant Eggplant.  I used a piece of 5/8" Very Vanilla Grosgrain to finish my card.

Be sure to mark August 17th on your calendar for the JustRite Blog Hop.  But, of course, check back before then--I will have other ideas to share with you!

Thanks for the visit!
