Good morning! I hope y’all are enjoying your weekend so far. It has been nice and quiet around here and the sun is shining as well. You can’t ask for anything more!
A few weeks ago I was the lucky recipient of a number of new JustRite stamp sets. Unfortunately, when I got them I didn’t have time to play with them . . . until yesterday! I absolutely love how all the JustRite images work with Spellbinders™. For my first card I decided to work with the set, Birdhouses. Unfortunately, I colored my image first and then went looking for paper . . . should have found my paper first (because its easier for me).
I colored the image with Copic Markers and the paper I settled on was October Afternoon Fly a Kite. The edges of all the paper and the images were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The images were die cut with Spellbinders™ S4-114 Standard Circles – Large and S4-116 Standard Circles – Small. For the larger base piece, the cardstock was die cut/embossed with S5-041 Floral Doily Motifs and the border is from S5-040 Floral Doily Accents.
I kept thinking that I wanted a red ribbon, but couldn’t find just the right color so I decided to dye seam binding with Peeled Paint. If you missed my video the other day on how to dye seam binding, you can find it here on YouTube.
I guess that’s all for me today. Thanks for stopping by and remember . . . life is short, embrace the adventures of the day!

These birdhouse images are a must have! I love what you did with this one. I love that you are also coloring the seam binding! I’ve been doing a little of this and love the look! Well done my friend!
Love your video. Also nice to hear your voice. LOL have a great day
I have the same problem…..if I color first (which I do 85% of the time – although getting better at choosing papers first)
Still, love the birdhouse, and the card. Great spring feel…. and love that floral doily motif …. (I’m getting my Grand Excalibur tomorrow….. I’m soooo excited :-).
had to go look at some of your videos-so fun to learn or refresh what I haven’t done in awhile. Thanks for your sharing.
Such a lovely birdhouse image! The seam binding fits perfectly! And October Afternoon paper is one of my favs…great job!
This is gorgeous Sherry. I love the birdhouse and the Spellbinders dies.
Absolutely adorable! At first I thought you actually used a lace doily and had to take a second look. I really love what you did with the dies and the paper is just too cute!
Sherry –
What a beautiful card! I do love your work!

Fabulous card Sherry. Yes, red would have been a great color choice for your ribbon, but this one looks fabulous! Another winner, as always.Love your works of art!
Great card. Love the colors and the theme. Thanks for sharing.
Love the birdhouse. Spring is on the way!! Thanks for the inspiration.
This is just adorable.
so pretty, terrific coloring and love the framing, pretty border and papers!
I have checked out the seam binding at Amazon.com several times in the past without purchasing and can’t find it locally. Glad to see it’s safe to purchase this stuff from Amazon and I did yesterday after reading that this is where yours came from. Looking forward to receiving it and trying it out. Thanks for the thumbs up and video.
These cards are so darn cute. Love spellbinders.
