Good morning and welcome to the first official Stamp Simply Ribbon Store blog hop! I’m so excited about today’s project and can’t wait to take a look at what the other designers have done.
Before I get started with my project, I need to give you a few details about the hop . . . BECAUSE I know you don’t want to miss anything . . . in particular, how to win a Webster’s Pages Postcards from Paris Kit.
The hop is starting at Sharon’s blog, No Time to Stamp. She will direct you to the next blog in the hop, that person will send you to the next, etc., etc., etc. The designers participating in today’s hop are as follows:
Sharon Johnson (Stamp Simply Ribbon Store)
Deb Saaranen
Holly McMillen
Michelle Woerner
Sherry Cheever (me)
Linda Duke
Barb Schram
In order to win the Webster’s Pages Postcards from Paris Kit, even though it’s not necessary, you are highly encouraged to leave a comment on each designers’ blog. (
let me tell you a little secret . . . The blogs have been numbered 1 to 7. A number will drawn on February 27 at 6:00 p.m. which will correspond with one of the blogs . . . THEN a second number will be drawn which will be the comment on the winning blog!) Get it . . . the more you comment, the more chances you have to win! Now, don’t tell anyone that you heard that from me . . .
So, on to my project for today! When this hop was first discussed, Sharon challenged us to “Be True To Ourselves”. Well, I couldn’t think of a better way to be true to myself that to get a little vintage with some distress thrown in, to add plenty of layers with some sewing, along with different designer papers! I know it’s an eclectic mix, but one that comes so easy to me . . . that it can’t help but be me!
The JustRite flower image was stamped and embossed three times and then water colored with Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks. Here’s a close-up of the layers.
All the edges of the Webster’s Pages Postcards from Paris paper was sponged with Antique Linen and then sewn to a cream background panel. The “A Beautiful Day” tag was distressed like crazy, sponged until there was no tomorrow and then attached to a frame made from Spellbinders™ S4-190 Labels Four. I used the inside of the frame as an additional background behind the image that was die cut/embossed from Spellbinders™ S4-110 Classic Ovals – Large. A border made from Spellbinders™ S7-014 Classic Lace Border Grand was stitched down the side to separate the layers of designer paper. The 5/8” Ivory May Arts Twill, which I added over the top of 1.25” Brown May Arts Crochet Lace, was stained with Antique Linen Distress Ink and water. Now that was just way too much fun!
- Stamps: JustRite Plant a Little Love Set
