I'm Lovin' JustRite's Lace Borders

This month JustRite Stampers is releasing a fabulous collection of stamps that are going to make you swoon with old fashioned giddiness.  Today my project features the oh so delicate and beautiful stamp set called

Set includes 4 Cling Border stamps 



 I also used the sentiment from JustRite Stamper's Because I Care set, which I stamped onto kraft paper from My Mind's Eye.

{QR Codes}


Did you notice that squiggly bar code on the Lacy Border image above?  That is called a Quick Response (QR) code and they seem to be popping up everywhere.  QR codes are pixelated squares that you can scan with a smart phone app. Scannning the QR code with your phone will bring you directly to a website or landing page.  The JustRite QR Codes  on the packaging and in JustRites Catalog will link a stamp set to JustRite's Design Gallery for that set.  Now you can scan the code with your phone to see what your favorite designers have created with a set before you purchase the set in your favorite store.  You can use your smartphone to access the design gallery for your stamp set from your craft room when you are ready to use your set or from our mini flyers or catalogs when you are sitting in a car waiting to pick up your child from a sporting event!!  Fun huh! I use these all the time. What will they think of next!

You may already have a QR code scanner already on your phone - if you don't you can upload any of these apps - for your iPhone - Red Laser (free),  NeoReader (free),  Optiscan ($1.99)  For your Android Phone - QR Droid.


{Blog Candy}

 To enter to win a $50.00 shopping spree visit the JustRite Blog and answer the blog candy question.  The Blog Candy is open for comments until Friday Night at 12 pm EST. The winner will be announced on the JustRite Blog on Monday October 3rd during the release post.  Good luck to everyone!

Thank you so much for joining me today.  I really appreciate your comments, feedback and of course will answer any questions you have about projects you see on my blog :) Have a great Wednesday

Win with Spellbinders & Core'dinations Blog Swap Day Two


Welcome to the Spellbinders™ and Core'dinations® Blog Swap!

All this week designers for Spellbinders and Core'dinations will be presenting the unique qualities of our products and showing how they work together for divine die cut designs!



For my project I decided to make cupcake toppers and a gift bag to celebrate Fall. With two little girls in Elementary school there seems to be an opportunity, at any given time,  to celebrate a special event. These cupcake toppers can be cut at once using Spellbinders Grand Calibur Die Cutting Machine and the Anemone Flower Topper  die template.  I used Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock in different shades for my sunflowers and the panel for my gift bag.  Sanding the cardstock to reveal the core color adds great texture and a weathered vintage look to my project.

Supplies:

Spellbinders:

Core'dinations:
  • Black MagicCore Impressions
  • Super Assortments
Other:
Want2Scrap Bling, brown bag, ribbon and cupcakes

{Leave a comment to win fabulous prizes}

Spellbinders is offering TWO winners, drawn from the comments left on the participating Designer's blogs, each a $24.99 value die template of their choice. Winners will be chosen randomly at the end of the week.  Core'dinations will be giving away prizes too so be sure to visit their Scrapbook Blog for details.

We {heart} Missoni


We caved to temptation and got ourselves Missoni.   Thankfully did not have to wait in any lines, camp out or wrestle shoppers to the floor which made owning a pair of Missoni Ballet Flats that much more special :)

DIY Photographs on Canvas











I recently saw this technique on Girl. Inspired. and decided I simply had to make it as a birthday present for Kevin for his office.  I love the distressed look of the pictures on canvas and this technique is really not that difficult at all :)

Supplies:

  • 8x10 Canvas (I picked mine up at Michaels)
  • Tissue paper 
  • Mod Podge
  • Foam Brush
  • Scrabook paper
  • Acrylic Paint

{How To}

1. Print your photograph on tissue paper.  

Start off by taking a sheet of tissue paper and trimming it slightly larger than 8.5x11".  Fold the edges of the tissue paper over a sheet of  8.5x11" cardstock and secure with tape.  This will create a sturdy surface which can be fed through your printer.   In your photo editing software print an 8x10 photograph onto the tissue paper.

2. Cut strips of patterned paper from scrapbook paper and adhere them with the Mod Podge to the sides of the canvas.
3. Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the front of the canvas.  Remove the tissue paper from the cardstock and gently lay it on the front of the canvas.  Smooth out all the bubbles using a plastic card. 
4.  Apply a layer of Mod Podge over the entire image, including the sides.  Allow to dry.
5. Add a distressed look by filling in the white spaces along the edge with black acrylic paint.

This method of "printing" on canvas was so easy and really quite inexpensive that I am definitely going to be doing this again really soon.  My In-laws have an anniversary coming up and I think this will make the perfect gift for them.

Thanks for stopping by
Hugs
