Hey chicklets! I’m much better today, and I have a project to share that was soooooo much fun to make, I’ll just have to explain how I got there. First of all this is a new release by JustRite Stampers called Family Garden – adorable, hunh!?! The first time I saw the set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. It’s super cute because they included flowers in the set, but since they are not a part of the stamp, you can substitute anything you like, buttons, pearls, rings, a round of crochet – you get the picture.
I’ve tried before to stamp on slick buttons with Stazon ink but was never happy with the results. So recently when I saw someone stamp on a fabric button, this was the a-ha I needed. So now what fabric to use? For a while I did cross stitching and somewhere along the line I hit a super clearance sale on cross stitch linen. I have tons of it and thought if I was lucky, it would take ink. Turns out that it takes ink very well – I used Stazon and Brilliance. Using Scor-Tape sheets, I applied the linen to a piece of cardstock and stamped on it and then cut it for my project. For the Gable Box I used a steel rule die cut and for my card, I simply cut my panel using my Tonic cutter.
For all the buttons I simply used an inexpensive covered button kit from the fabric store. In this kit, all the top domes for the buttons had teeth which made it very easy to keep the fabric in place. I did all of these (21 in total) by hand, each one taking less than a minute. I applied them to the box and card with my glue gun.
For the card I used small, simple elements. Spellbinders Standard Circle LG and Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents make the side embellishment. My title, from JustRite Stampers You Are the Best Set is centered on top of Spellbinders Grommet Tags. I’ve fallen in love with this linen, he-he . . . I just know you will see it again.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Family Garden, You Are the Best Paper: Bazzill Ink: Olive Stazon, Twilight Collection – Brilliance Accessories: Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Fleur de lis Accents, Spellbinders Grommet Tags, covered buttons, pearls, ribbon, lace, hot glue gun |

Very pretty! I too used to cross stitch and I know I have linen in my box. I’m going to have to dig that out. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow I love the card and your little box! First off the colors are wonderful. I love the linen on the card also. Great Idea! Such a lovely set. You always do such great things. I think I need to go get some covered button sets and some cross stitch linen to keep on hand. Michaels has some good coupons this week. Thanks for always sharing with all of us! JustRite should be so glad to have you on their team because you really do such a wonderful job with the products.

Wow I just love this project! Then again with the name gardenlady I guess it goes to show I would! :) I have linen and button sets so I could do this set with no problem except I am getting my own hobby room and everything is boxed up until the room is completed. I can’t wait to give this a try! Thanks Becca for all your inspiration.

What a wonderful, cute kit! Thanks for sharing the info. The Cross Stitch linen looks like canvas. Probably more workable and stampable than canvas!
Thanks for sharing!

I’m amazed at how well the texture of the linen took the stamping ink – I’ve got textured paper that won’t do that good! Another beautiful card and more inspiration from you, Becca. Can’t tell you often enough how much your sharing is appreciated.

Well this is just the cutest thing ever. I love using fabrics in paper crafts. This is simply adorable. And I love too the bow made from multi colors of ribbon. Very clever indeed. You outdid yourself this time for sure, Becca. Don’t you just love how God keeps giving you new ideas all the time??? Thank you once again for yet more inspiration. You’re the best, girl.
God bless you

Happy to hear you are feeling better. OH MY GOSH These are stunning! For some reason they make me think of my Grandma. I have a box of goodies to donate including two covered button kits and several sheets of cross stitch fabric. I can’t see well enough to cross stitch any more and I don’t even know where the button kits came from but I’ll be pulling those goodies out of that box ASAP. Thank you for the inspiration.

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO clever, you are! Love this set. I assume the box was a premade one you covered, or are you just THAT clever too?
May 11, 2011
1:55 pm
Fantastic! I love the way you think! Wish I could crawl inside your brain and absorb some of that talent! The fabric gives both the card and the box such a feminine homespun, but professional appearance. Just gorgeous!
May 11, 2011
2:31 pm
I adore the effect of stamping on the cross stitch linen and the buttons are, well, cute as a button. You just keep coming up with fabulous ideas to charm and amaze us. I don’t know how you do it, but please keep doing it. Does that brain of yours ever sleep?
May 11, 2011

Oh I love the idea of a fabric covered box. So much work goes into making them it is nice if they are a bit more permanent.
Love the project!! TFS

Becca, can I have your brain for just one day PLEASE??? You amaze me how you come up with the most original ideas ever! Plus you don’t need any fancy expensive gadgets to make embellies with like those buttons. If you can’t find a cheap gadget that does it, you make one of your own like your peg bow maker etc! You are my idol!!!

Woohoo, I am loving this card, just ordered this set today! This morning as a matter of fact. This set is just all me in all types of aspects. Your box and card are just awesome! Love them! Love all the texture especially the buttons that you made. Your use of this stamp is awesome in both the card and the gable box! Wish you lived closer, someone just gave me a gift that I absolutley adore, but have more than I can use and would love to share (and don’t know anyone close that I can share with). Regardless, love your use of the stamp! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!

These are lovely – a little different from you usual style and so fresh and soft. The linen is so pretty – thanks for the inspiration. I love the pastel colours you have used in the flowers and the combined ribbons. Have a lovely day Becca.

As an embroiderer I flinched when I saw linen on your card – it is soooooo expensive here – but I must admit it looks fabulous on the card and buttons and box :-)

OMG Becca, the card AND the box are absolutely gorgeous! I just love them!!! I guess I need to check out the Just Rite stamp set and keep a copy of this post. You come up with the neatest ideas and projects.
Glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Such a FUN and gorgeous gift set, Becca! I love the texture the linen adds and LOVE that you those little covered buttons and stamped on them!

I love that vine stamp! So versatile, and useful for many different types of cards. But using precious cross stitch fabric to stamp on? For shame! Scraps, maybe.

I love the look of linen. It is simple and sweet but, for me, it has a sort of elegance too! I have a huge stash of cross stitch fabric around here somewhere. I am going to have to break it out and stamp on it. Tfs!!
May 12, 2011
7:48 am
Your pretty gift set is lovely! It makes sense that the fabric would take the ink since they print patterns on it. You are a smart cookie! I am so glad I know now what to do with all that cross stitch fabric I have ‘hoarded’ away! Since my eyesight isn’t good enough to stitch I will have to ‘stamp’ on it instead.
Thanks for sharing! :)
May 12, 2011
8:25 am
Miss Becca! You’ve done it again!!! This is the BEANS!
What a great idea to use fabric and your buttons and box are over the top. What else can I say girl. Great Work!!
Hope you have a beautiful day.

Oh My Gosh, Becca … this card and box are just jaw-droppingly gorgeous … adorable beyond words … I simply cannot believe your skill and talent and creativity. All of your projects are stunning … I just cannot believe it each day when I visit and find yet another fabulous creation. Everything you design and create is a joy to behold … and I’m guilty of not taking the time to tell you so often enough!! Your tutorials are really marvellous and much-valued too … you are generous beyond words. Thank you so much, Becca, you are truly amazing!!

This set is just wonderful, I have been sitting here just looking at it going back and forwards from one picture to another! You must have been so chuffed when you put this together as it’s a real winner. There’s something about the fabric that makes it look so tactile, if I had made those items I would be so proud of myself so I hope you are! :)

Becca, maybe a detour from your usual style, but, as always, you’ve excelled again!
What a darling project :o)

love this look of linen. i’ve cut up some old worn out shirts of DH, stamped on them. not as pretty
