JustWordz DT Friday

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back to another JustWordz DT post. This week I went back to the basics and used the JustWordz Everyday sentiment set. This is always my 'go to' set if I need just the perfect sentiment! And what do you think...isn't this just the perfect sentiment for this image?!

Check out the rest of the DT inspiration and the blow out sale at the Justwordz blog!
Have a fabulous weekend!

JustWordz DT Friday!

Hi Everyone,
I finally got my craft room cleaned up only to come down with a nasty cold! Here is the very simple card I have to share with you this week. The sentiment really doesn't show off the JustWordz stamps all that well but sometimes a simple 'happy birthday' is just all you need. Don't forget to check out the Justwordz blog to see the rest of the DT inspiration this week and maybe while your there pick yourself up a set or all three sets of these stamps!
Happy Crafting!

Justwordz DT Friday (Oct. 21)

Hi Crafters,
This is the last week for the current Justwordz DT and I just want to say a big thank you to Kim and all my fellow members for making this DT so much fun! Ladies it has been a blast to see how each and every one of you use the Justwordz Everyday Sentiments stamp set each week. When I first got them I stared at them for a whole night coming up with possible sentiments. Now after seeing your creations I realize just how many sentiments they can really make and even then I am sure we have only scratched the surface. Thanks for all the amazing ideas ladies!

This week for my Justwordz  project I made a card for my father in-law. I learned this inking technique at my local scrapbooking store a while ago and wanted to give it another shot. It was only after I finished the card that Brian (my fiance) pointed out the original card I made using this technique was given to my father in-law already!  Guess I better not give him this one too since it is very similar lol. Might need to re-stamp another sentiment since I only have one father in-law haha.

Justwordz DT Day!

***This is my second post of the day. If you are popping over from Alex's blog You Had Me At Craft and looking for the rest of my thankful mini album thanks for stopping by and scroll down to the next post***

Hi Crafters,
This week for the Justwordz DT we were asked to make a 'thankful' project. This week I decided to change it up a bit and make someting besides a card. I have been hard at work making things for my up coming wedding and I decided why not use this opportunity to get something else done in advance. These tags as you can see are going to go on my wine bottles that we will be using as part of our wedding party favours. I made two because I was unsure of how I wanted to layer them but after completing them we have decided to use the one with the navy base. Fear not I'm sure the other one will still get used for something else ;)

The good news is now that I have figured out the sizing and everything I should be able to whip up a bunch more in no time. I used Design Studio and the cartridge Tags, bags, boxes and more for the 'door hanger' and Accent Essentials for the flower. (You will be seeing much more of this flower soon)! To finish it off I stamped my sentiment with Justwordz Everyday Sentiments. Don't Kim's Justwordz stamps work just perfect!!! I know you can't really tell from the picture but I heat embossed the stamp too so it is all shiny and fancy looking. It was my first heat embossed project with my brand spanking new heat gun and embossing powder. I didn't even do a practice run first lol! I am so impressed with how this turned out!!!

Details:

Cardstock: Bazzill and Staples Brand

Cricut Cuts: Tags, bags, boxes and more (if you want the exact size let me know and I will look it up for you in DS) and Accent Essentials 1.5"

Justwordz DT Friday!

Hi Crafters,

This week for the Justwordz DT we were asked to make a sympathy project. Can you believe I have never made a sympaty card before? I guess it doesn't hurt to have one on hand. If you have been following me for a while you are probably thinking this creation is not really my style at all. I mean really there is not a stitch of pink or purple on this card! I am not sure what came over me the other day when I created this but I think it turned out wonderful in the end!

Details:

A2 size card

Cardstock: Recollections and Staples Brand white base

Patterned paper: DCWV

Cricut Cut: Home Decor Cartridge cut @ 3"

There is also an added bonus for the next term but I am not going to spoil that for you, you will just have to check out all the details on her blog Justwordz.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone and happy crafting!

Justwordz DT Friday!

Hi Crafters,

This week for the Justwordz DT we were asked to make a shape card. I have only ever made one of these before and it does not go so well so I started this one when I knew I had a lot of time! Funny thing was it whipped up in no time at all...it's that just aways the way lol. I decided to try the shape feature on the Hello Kitty cartridge again (this was the cartridge I used for my last shape card that gave me so much trouble) I was not going to let this cartridge get the best of me plus it is just too stinkin' cute and there is really no reason I don't pull it out more.

I made this card for a super sweet friend who always has a smile and a kind word for everyone. She is starting up her own business while still teaching full time and is a total inspiration to me! I am going to give her this card just for being herself :) She used to teach in China and I am not sure if it is something in the air there or what but when she came back she was a huge Hello Kitty fan! Enjoy,Catherine :)

Details:

Roughly an A2 size card

Cardstock: textured purchase at my LSS

Justwordz DT Friday!

Hi Crafters,
Before I get into this weeks project I wanted to mention that my card from last week (click here to see it if you missed it) was featured on The Joyful Stamper blog. How cool is that?! Okay now on to this week.....

This week for the Justwordz DT I was asked to make a project about loving my mother. Easy!!! My mother's birthday is coming up and she has already informed me she wanted an easel card lol...so here it is! I actually figured out how to make a 5x5 one without any help! I like how it turned out but for some reason I am not in love with it. I may end up making her another one...who knows. The Cricut cut you see is a doily from Cinday Loo cartridge. There are not super good layers on this cartridge so I had to make my own. This involved cutting the doily out three times in different colours and then cutting away the parts I didn't want. In the end I think I pulled it off okay!

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #27

Hi Everyone,
It's time for a new challenge on the Birthday Sundaes blog. This week the challenge is to make a belated birthday card and don't forget the sentiment on the front of your card. This week I used a free digital image from Beccy's Place for my card. He just looked a little sad like he missed the party. I coloured him with my Prisma coloured pencils and used my fabulous Justwordz Everyday Stamp set for the sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to head on over to the Birthday Sundaes blog to check out the rest of the DT creations as well as our guest designer this week.

This week for the Justwordz DT we were asked to make a  'Just because' project.

I like the simple elegance of this card. That and all the bling! :)
