Day 3 with Sankari Wegman- Snowflakes & Socks

You will just love Sankari 's project today. What a perfect gift for your child's favorite teacher or a special friend!! We will have a 2nd post tonight at 5PM announcing our Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion.

Good Morning Everyone!!

Are you all getting ready for some Thanksgiving yumminess?! Well, today - is a busy day over here with cleaning, cooking and eating :) lol! Today, I am excited to show you a project using one of my fave Just Rite stamps with the sentiment: "Snowflakes are Winter's Butterflies". This sentiment is one one of the borders that comes with the: Merry Little Christmas Borders & Centers Round 1-5/8" set. There are so many beautiful sentiments in this set that its hard to choose one - but I loved this sentiment because of the image of a winter butterfly.

All the Just Rite circle stamps are so fun to use them with all the different circle punches, nestibiliites or circle cutting systems and there are so many fun possibilities on how to layer them on your card or project. The project that I made today is a fun (and inexpensive (under $5)) gift for my children's preschool teacher. I created a little winter pail filled with socks and a matching card. I got this pail at Target for $1 and some socks to fill in the pail.

I love how this turned out and can't wait to make a few more! Here is a picture of the gift set:
I used the My Mind's Eye designer papers series and cut out little christmas trees for the bottom of the pail and then colored in the snowlfakes on the metal pail with blue copics and some added to the centers some bling (I used some Zip Dry to adhere the ribbon). I layered the sentiment and snowflake with my punches and then my nesties for the bigger sizes.

For the card, I cut out a cared stock and then punched with the lattice edge punch the inside of the card and then cut it a little shorter in the front of the card. So when the card is lying down it looks like this:
But when you stand it up - the lattice edge goes to the back and the circle window becomes more apparent and since the stamped image is on dimensionals - it doesn't hide in the background :

I arranged all the elements on the card and then punched out a circle with my nesties and then on the inside of the card I added the snowflakes are winter's butterflies sentiment which is covered with chunky glitter and then I layered with nesties and decorated with liquid pearls and sponging :) It's so nice to have such variety of choices of borders and images to mix and match and there is something about circle stamps where the sentiment is also circular that is just so fun to stamp with! I hope you enjoyed this project and gift idea :) and I hope you come back tomorrow for a little project to make your holiday dinner very special!!!

Thank you so much for stopping in today and can't wait to see you tomorrow!!
And wising al of you who are traveling to be with your loved ones - a very safe journey!!!
Big hugs!
Sankari :)

Day 2 with Sankari Wegman

Today Sankari has the sweetest oval designs to share with us. She used a creative memories oval cutter to die cut all her oval images. Just a reminder that the entire JustRite Christmas Collection is on sale for 20% off and that we ship in 48 hours. (excluding the Holiday Weekend).

Good Morning Everyone,
I can't even tell you how thrilled I am to be a Guest Designer for Just Rite! And for Day 2's projects, I am so excited to share with you some fun Just Rite yumminess using the gorgeous oval stamps in this beautiful stamp set: Christmas Joy Borders & Centers Oval (1 3/4" x 2 5/15" . I don't "go oval" as much as I would like to and had a lot of fun with all of these yummy oval stamps! For today's project, I altered some oval boxes and went somewhat vintage with decorating them. I altered three oval boxes with three different sentiments with alternating borders from this awesome stamp set to go with it - and also a card to go along with this set.

Each the bottom of the box is covered with a strip of the DP and then the sides of the top of the box were colored with copics. I stamped the sentiment twice onto the yellow cardstock and then stamped the border and then cut it out and popped it up on dimensionals over the sentiment so that it created a little frame over the sentiment. Here is a picture of the oval boxes together:
and this is a side view of the oval boxes: This oval box features the sentiment: Joy - I love the holly that surrounds this word "Joy" - I colored the holly blue with some Sakura gelly roll pens and then added some Adirondack pearls onto the berries. I added some liquid pearls around the edges and sides and a line of pearls on the box and then ribbon from stash. This oval box features the sentiment: Wishing You the Blessings of the Season which is stamped in Adirondack Expresso Ink and then decorated with some pearl accents, liquid pearls and ribbon from stash:
This oval box features the sentiment: A little wish for a Magical Christmas which is stamped in Stazon Olive and then colored in with Copics. The frame is colored in with Copics.
I created a card with the sentiment: Wishing You the Blessings of the Season. I love layering it up, but at the same time, I tried to keep the card simple so that the sentiment could shine through. I completely enjoyed making these projects and hope you enjoyed them too! It was so much fun to "oval it up!" and create some oval present boxes to put little holiday gifts in!

Please stop by tomorrow for projects that involve socks, snow and butterflies!!!
Hope you are intrigued :))) See you tomorrow!!!!

Big sunny hugs!!!
Sankari :)

Welcome to Day 2 with guest blogger Lisa Somerville. Lisa has designed this great Home Decor Project just in time for the Holidays. This would be a great teacher or secret Santa gift and is a fabulous way to use your scraps.

I found these 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" blocks at my Michael's store - they are relatively inexpensive, about $1 per block. I cut my Ski Slope DSP to fit my blocks, then stamped my letters with my Pre-Inked Uppercase Typewriter Letters, these pre-inked letters made stamping a breeze - I just centered them on my cut paper and pressed down. I edged my papers with brown ink and a sponge dauber and used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to attach my patterned paper to my wood blocks, sanding where needed once dry. I tied on various ribbons and used glue dots to attach some Making Memories Charms, Poinsettia's, and Felt Flurries (with Rhinestone centers) to my ribbons.

Supplies:
Blocks - Michael's
Designer Paper - Stampin' Up! - Ski Slope
JustRite Stamps - JustRite Pre-Inked Uppercase Typewriter Letters
Ink - Chocolate Chip - Stampin' Up!
Ribbon - Stampin' Up! - 5/8" Chocolate Grosgrain, Alpine Ribbon Originals, Riding Hood Red Taffeta, 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain, Whisper White Taffeta
Accessories- Felt Flurries - Stampin' Up!, Rhinestone Brads - Stampin' Up!, Pointsetta and Charm - Making Memories, Glue Dots - Stampin' Up!, Tombow Mono - Stampin' Up!, Sponge Dauber - Stampin' Up!, Sanding Block - Stampin' Up!
