Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops 8! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! And don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets -- you can find them HERE.
This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the Flower Soft and The Shabby Tea Room challenge blog design teams! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!
I was so excited when I found out I would be participating in another JustRite Blog hop. I love JustRite stamps and already had some that I had purchased at the CHA Supershow to make my family Christmas cards with! So for today's hop, I actually made two projects. My first project is a square card. I used some Basic Grey patterned paper from the Jovial Collection called Christmas Tree. I love the color combo so much!
I used the JustRite set called Christmas Ornaments Set with the 3 1/4" Wood Circle stamper. This card measures 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" square. I cut/embossed the sentiment circle using Classic Circles Lg Nestabilities and layered it onto a Beaded Circle Nestabilities. I stamped the ornament, colored it in using my Copic Markers and then cut it out. Here is a close-up of the ornament.
You can see the Flower Soft - Polar White Diamond Range along the top of the ornament and in the middle of the snowflakes. Do you see the cool gold detail on the ornament? Those are a line of stickers from Flower Soft called Peel Offs. These are the Peel Off Sticker 280 in Gold. I just love how these stickers highlight the ornament.
For my second project, I made a Christmas Tag.
This tag measures 3 1/4 x 6 1/2". First I stamped the ornaments from the Christmas Ornaments 3 1/4" Set onto some white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, colored them in using my Copic markers and cut them out. I added lots of details using the Flower Soft Gold Diamond Range and some Polar White, too. The rhinestone flourish is from Zva Creative. I took a gold colored Copic Marker and colored the rhinestones to match with all the gold I used on my tag. The patterned paper is actually "Joy To The World" from our parish missal that is in each pew. Our parish recycles these every 6 months so I got one out of the recycle bin to reuse in my own way! Here is a close-up of one of the ornaments.
I used some more Peel Off Stickers 280 Gold from Flower Soft to simulate the ornaments hanging from a string. I tied some gold cording into a bow and attached it to the top of the ornaments using a Mini Glue Dot. The rosette was made by accordian folding some strips of the music paper. On top of the rosette, is the sentiment from From Our House Set 2" Square Set.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my project using Flower Soft and JustRite Stampers together! Enjoy the rest of the blog hop!

What lovely projects. I really like your idea of recycling the missal. It was fun meeting you at The Ink Spot Saturday (I'm the one that suggested the snowflake earrings). Thanks for all the good inspiration.

Wonderful projects Debbie. I am so glad you have joined in this hop. Love the color mix you have chosen, and I love the dimension you get with FS. I am not however familiar with the peel offs. I love the richness it adds to this ornament. I definitely have to check into these. TFS.

Your color choices are beautiful, the card and tag are splendid! On yesterday's SCS forum of Favorite Things, one of the girls comments was "exclamation points"! I thought that was terrific...here's another one for you!
