Greetings!!  In need of a card for a friend who is having a hard time, I set out to find something in the new selections from JustRite Stampers that would fit the bill.  From the JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers set I narrowed my choices down to Sending Hugs although several of the other sentiments work for this occasion too!!    As you know, I am really smitten with the Spellbinders Pendants and I’m especially excited that they stack so well between the items in each set, with other sets, with Nestibilities and with the JustRite borders and centers! 

In this case I started out on the bottom with Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, which serves as a base.  Then I layered on the Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, followed by the Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts Pendant with the center cut out.  I folded the Pendant 8 times then glued the ruffled pendant into place with glue dots.  Next I layered two of the Renaissance Hearts Centers with glue dots as well.  I stamped my JustRite Tiny Words Border and punched it out with my 1 1/4" round punch then stamped the JustRite Tiny Words Center and punched it out with my 1" round punch.   Using three of the Renaissance Hearts Accent Pieces, I snipped out the center with scissors then used each accent as a buckle, holding it into place with a corsage pin.  The corsage pin was longer than I needed it to be so I cut them shorter with my wire cutters.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Tiny Words Borders and Centers
Paper:  Bazzill, American Crafts, The Paper Company
Ink:  Colorbox Pink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts Pendant, Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, EK Success 1 1/4" round punch, EK Success 1" round Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Corsage pins, Ribbon

Okay, heading out to put this in the mail to my friend!!  Thanks for stopping by and just a hint – more JustRite goodness is on the horizon so stay tuned!

    Jeepers, Becca, this card is absolutely inspirational. Now, I’m not saying that all your cards aren’t, because they are, but something about this has brought me back several times and now I’ve finally commented.

    You are by far my biggest paper crafting heroine!! =)ReplyCancel

    Just when do you come up for air? Your cards continue to inspire me – sometimes giving me great ideas and other times I just copy it but always give credit to you on Scrapbook.com where I post my things.
    I believe that you are truly divinely inspired. God has given you a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing not only your credations but your wonderful quotes.ReplyCancel

Okay, I am honestly winding down with the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Pendant, but if you couldn’t tell, when I started working with this die template, I went on a card making binge!!  For a very quick post tonight, I wanted to share another sample I made earlier with the Fleur Pendant that has a slightly Asian feel.   It’s a  little bit different because I used the Pendant Center as corner pieces. 

It’s a very simple card, the center circle motif is a piece of design paper.  I added a sentiment from the Flourishes – Flourished Words Stamp Set and a bow to finish the design off. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes – Flourished Words Stamp Set
Paper:  GCD, Bazzill
Ink:  Black Brilliance
Accessories:  Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Pendant

I hope you have a glorious weekend!

 Happy Birthday to you!!  Happy Birthday to you!!  Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday to you!!  My dear friend, Michelle over at Stampers Dream, is the lucky Birthday Girl today and all of us with the Dream Team are celebrating the occasion.  I pulled together a birthday card using one of the new releases with Flourishes called Waterlilies.

After embossing the lillies in white, I used tombow markers and an almost dry aquapainter to color the image.  It is popped up on Spellbinders Antique Book Plate then popped up again on Spellbinders Labels 4.  The sentiment comes from Flourishes – Flourished Words Stamp set.   Lastly, the sentiment sits on a Spellbinders Labels 1 die template.  Easy Peasy! 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes – Waterlilies
Paper:  140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper, Bazzill
Ink:  Versamark and White Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders Antique Book Plate, Spellbinders Labels 4, Spellbinders Labels 1, Spellbinders Labels 1, white embossing powder, ribbon

Thanks for popping by today!   If you get a chance, stop over at Stampers Dream too and wish Michelle a very Happy Birthday!!
