Proud as a Peacock JustRite Challenge # 86

A last minute submission from me for this weeks challenge on the JustRite blog. It's a colour challenge and although I adore the colours I didn't think I actually had any. Then I found a 6x6 BG Lauderdale pad while I was cleaning up and I found some green metallic paper. So I went a little nuts and this is the result.

I used Spellbinders Butterfly Magic Expandable Pattern to cut all the green metallic paper, Spellbinders Vintage Lace Accents for the border and Spellbinders Labels 4. I used my new JustRite Grand Sentiments stamp set. I'm so glad I got this set, it is so useful. The big butterfly is a Webster's pages pin and the cardstock is a specialty slightly metallic one.

IO's - Happy Fall Y'All Challenge

I had no idea what I was going to do for this, or even if I'd try anything. Most of my much loved Impression Obsession stamps are lighthouse scenes and not very fallish. With just an hour left to enter, I realized my IO Swan Bridge stamp ( H1623) could work. So I coloured it with Copics, and cut it and a border using Spellbinders Labels 1. I thought it would be fun to make it dimensional with the branch and leaf TH Movers and Shakers die. The leaves are coloured with TH Distress inks and I added Perfect Pearls for some shine ( because everything needs a little shine). The paper is some really old DaisyD's.

It may be last minute, but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

JustRite Friday Challenge #085

I was playing with the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls and Accents, and realized that this card would qualify for the JustRite challenge to use more than one die cut on a card. That's so easy because I always have a pile of Spellbinders out on my desk. No point in putting them away because I use them so much.

Unfortunately, I didn't finish this in daylight and I hate taking pictures indoors, but here it is, in just under the wire.
I used the aforementioned Botanical Spellbinders and Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three. The sentiment is from the JustRite Christmas Nested Sentiments, and I used another stamp from this set for the sentiment inside. It's my go-to Xmas set.
I used really pretty, shiny, glittery cardstock from DCWV for this, and unknown patterned paper.

Happy Holidays JustRite Challenge #085

JustRite's challenge #085 requires that at least two die cuts are used. I decided to use Spellbinders Labels 8 and 4 as they went with two of my newest things, Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 and my new JustRite Grand Sentiment stamp set.

The whole card is cut with Spellbinders Labels 8, the fold was placed on the die so it didn't cut at the highest points. I cut a slice off the front so you see the other side of the paper, and added lace. I covered the edges of the Decorative labels 8 die cut with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder for a different texture and some shine. On top of that is another Label 8 die cut, stamped with a JustRite stamp from the Grand Sentiment set and heat embossed. Then a JustRite stamp from the Xmas Nested Sentiments set was heat embossed on a Spellbinders Labels 4 die cut. I die cut two snowflakes, covered them in glitter and layered them.
I love how JustRite and Spellbinders work together and they are working together on this challenge, with Spellbinders sponsering some of the prizes. Here is the link to the JustRite Friday Challenge :
