JustRite Papercraft Three Way Roses

Hi everyone, I'm here today with a JustRite Papercraft project and I have to tell you, I'm absolutely in LOVE with this new Three Way Roses set!  You can do sooo much with it, design your own layouts/patterns and decorate the roses anyway you like.  I also used one of the sentiments from JR's new release, "Lost Without You".  I'll post both sets with a link to the shop below.

I started with a 5x5 card base and cut a stitched square of vanilla cardstock that is 4.75" squared. I gathered up a bunch of my inks in reds and pinks and started stamping out all 3 flower background sizes randomly. I added leaves and twigs to my design and decided to heat emboss the largest flowers using gold embossing powder.  I did a little white paint splatter on the flowers I didn't emboss. I finished with some Pretty Pink Posh gold 4mm sequins around the flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by, please leave a comment as I love to hear from you!

Bugaboo Stamps Halloween Set 1 & 2

I had SO much fun creating that first Halloween card using Bugaboo Digital stamps that I felt like creating a second.  This time I used 2 different sets of digi stamps to create my scene.  I pulled the bat from set 1 and the pumpkins from set 2!

I started by die cutting my scene using a Gina Marie Designs slash stich rectangle die, then inking my background with Wilted Violet distress ink and the cloud stencil by MFT .  Then I did a 50/50 ratio of white acrylic paint and water and splattered it on my spooky, halloween-y night sky! 

I found the little banner strip in a 6x6 Doodlebug paper pack from last year called "Boos and Brews" and glued it down below. I finished the card with a twine bow tied around a button and the die cut "Hello" by Simon Says Stamp, layered in black and white to really make it stand out!

Newton's Nook Designs and Xyron Collaboration!

This week Newton's Nook Designs and Xyron are partnering for a very awesome inspiration week! Each day there is fresh inspiration using Newton's Nook Designs products with Xyron adhesives on the NND blog and on the Xyron facebook page!

Hello everyone!  I started with the NND Winston's Lake House stamp and die set and die cut and Copic colored the images I wanted to use.  

I inked up my background using Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron distress inks on the bottom and Tumbled Glass and Chipped Sapphire on top for the night sky. I inked in some cloud shapes using a stencil and once dry, I added some sparkle using Nuvo mousse in silver and the Starfield Stencil by NND.

I cut 2 different waves from the Ocean Borders Die Set by NND and inked them up with the same blue colors in my night sky, only much lighter.  I laid down strips of tape using the Xyron Mega Runner Tape Gun on the back to adhere them to my circle that I had die cut and inked up with Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey.  

After the waves were glued down, I used my scissors to cut around the circle so the wave border would fall perfectly within the circle..creating the moon behind them.  Using my tape gun, I adhered my moon and waves to my inked background, then glued it all down on my card base.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in the moon using Night of Navy ink by SU.  Then I placed and glued down Newton, lily pads and cattails around the water.  Thank you so much for joining me today, keep reading..there are prizes!!

Would you like to win a Prize pack including a Mega Runner from Xyron and a $25 store credit to Newton’s Nook Designs?
Here's how to win:Leave a comment on the NND & Design Team blog posts using Xyron products all week (July 31-Aug 4th) to enter. One winner will be randomly chosen from blog posts throughout the week so the more posts you leave comments on the better your chances are of winning! You have until Friday August 4th at midnight CST to comment. The winner will be announced on the NND blog post on Monday, August 7th.

Xyron will also be giving away a prize pack! Make sure to visit their facebook page each day this week for inspiration and leave comments there for another chance to win!  

I wanted to give you a review of the Xyron Mega Runner as this was my first experience using it. I was really impressed by how balanced the gun was in my hand and the tape itself laid down perfectly on my project. No doubt I'll be keeping this tape gun handy in my work space.

I'm normally a liquid glue user, so I was also excited to try the Xyron Adhesive Eraser Cube (pictured above).  It's awful when glue ends up where it's not supposed to and this seems to happen to me often.  This little eraser does the trick!  Even with stubborn glue, it lifts off easily..such a wonderful little tool!  **As a sidenote, I was given these products to work with for this collaboration, but the opinions I've written here are my own.
