For A New Mother

Happy Friday my crafting friends! Today is my last DT post for Just Wordz. I have had so much fun using Kimberly's stamps. I can't wait to see what her new team comes up with next week for the hop.

For today's project I made a sweet card using the Nursery Rhymes Cricut cartridge. I layered the cut on top of a Spellbinders die cut which I embossed with the Flourish impression plate from Stampin' Up. I brayered a little ink on top so the embossed portion would stand out. I layered some paper petals and tied them together with a button and bakers twine.

I'm So Grateful

This weeks Just Wordz design team's theme is "Thanks".  I created this 6x6 card using one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets called Season of Friendship. I also used some adorable patterned cardstock from imaginisce. The solid cardstock is from Stampin' Up and the ribbon is PTI.

Sympathy card for Just Wordz DT Friday

This week at Just Wordz the design team members have been working on sympathy cards using the fabulous word stamps Kimberly has created. For my card, I used one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets, Terrific Tulips. I love how I can use the stamping-off technique to create a softened card. If you are not familiar with this process, it is simply the process of inking up your stamp, stamping it once (or twice depending on the effect you want) onto a scratch piece of paper then stamping it on your cardstock. This allows for a second stamp to show up using it fully inked. I embossed the dark brown with the Birds and Swirls Cuttlebug folder.

Butterfly Thank You

It's all about shaped cards at

 Just Wordz this week! 

Even though it's getting colder out and the leaves are turning and trick-or-treating is just around the corner, I just had to do a butterfly. I've been wanting to use the DCWV Colorful Life stack and this was a good time.  I used the Cricut Cake cartridge and my Gypsy to create this shaped card. The sentiment was created using Just Wordz stamps and adhered to the card with rhinestone brads. A super quick and easy card!

Remember to stop back tomorrow for the My Cricut Craftroom's 100 Cart Blog Hop. I'll be giving away a Pink Cricut Tool Kit just for commenting and being a follower! Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Just Wordz Design Team Friday

I'm getting so excited about the arrival of Kimberly's new Just Wordz stamp sets! Don't forget to stop by her site to get the pre-order price before they arrive!

These weeks theme is all about Love. For my card, I used A Child's Year Cricut cartridge. I love using this cart for several reasons. One is that I can choose whatever color theme I want and there is only one cut - no layers (unless you want a shadow). The card stock is a combination of Bazzil and Stampin' Up. The stamped background is from Stampin' Up, also.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Just The Best

Today I made another CAS card for JustWordz design team Friday. I used S/U's Chocolate Chip CS with Grapefruit and Pomagranate from Bazzil. I embossed the Grapefruit with the Polka Dots Cuttlebug folder, punched the edges with a scalloped border punch and layered a piece of PP from Echo Park on top. I stamped my sentiment with Rich Cocoa Memento ink.

Don't forget to stop by Kimberly's blog to pre-order her newest stamp sets at a discount. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Just Wordz Friday

This weeks theme at Just Wordz is all about "Tags". I used the Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge to cut a large sized tag along with the Sweet Treats cartridge for the cupcake. A little PTI ribbon and a sentiment from Just Wordz and I have a quick CAS birthday card - I mean tag;-) Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

Forgive Me.... I forgot your birthday!

For today's Just Wordz DT card I used Nate's ABC's cart. The snail and grass are one of the accessory buttons. There are some super cute images that aren't even the main cuts! I also used a background stamp from S/U as well as the solid and dotted CS. The ribbon is from PTI and I had to use my Stickles:-)

Just Wordz Celebration Week 4

Good Morning Crafters! This is the fourth week of Kimberly's big Just Wordz stamp release celebration. Have any of you been able to try out her stamps yet? I find myself sitting with my acrylic block and playing a type of "scrabble" to see how many sentiments I can come up with:-)

This week I used Kate's ABC's and Cake Basics Cricut Cartridges. I popped up some of the flower layers to give them more dimension (boy, was it hard to cut up small pieces of pop dots!). I added some Stickles to coordinate with the DCWV All About Girls card stock.

Just Wordz Celebration Week 2

If you are new to my blog, Welcome:-) If you've been a loyal follower, Thanks for coming back. Today ends the second week of Kimberly's Just Wordz Stamp Release Celebration.  I created this card with one of my favorite sets from Stampin' Up, A Little Bit of Magic. I used Plum Pudding grosgrain ribbon from PTI, pp from DCWV Summer Dreams stack and a sentiment is from Just Wordz, Everyday Sentiments.

I went back to my old love of watercoloring. Since this is such a small and detailed stamp. I used my wc pencils after I stamped the image with Memento black ink pad on water color paper. I must have been a little too close when I "shimmer spritzed" the watercolored image... had a little "running" incident. Normally, I would have redone the image but, as usual, it was late and I was getting ready for vacation.

Now, for the fun stuff...  Visit Just Wordz blog and leave a comment on each Friday's Celebration post for a chance to win a new set of Just Wordz stamps.

Just Wordz Stamp Release Celebration

Today Kimberly at Just Wordz is celebrating the release of her new stamp line! I am privileged to be one her first Design Team. I just love working with these stamps. They are so versatile and much easier than printing on cardstock from a computer. You can arrange as few or as many words as you like, in any direction, and sometimes any shape:-) She is giving away one of her sets just for leaving a comment each week that her celebrations runs.

Here is my card using two words from her set. The cut is from the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cartridge, the embossing is the Nifty Fifties coordinating Cuttlebug folder, and the cardstock is from Stampin' Up and DCWV Nana's Kitchen. I also used S/U dazzling diamonds for the martini and beaded a wire for the "glass id tag".

If you came from her site to check out mine, thanks for stopping. If you're already a follower and haven't discovered Kimberly's wonderful blog, you can click HERE. You can also visit the other DT members to have an extra chance at winning Kimberly's stamps.
