We usually think of red and green for Christmas items. I thought I’d try some different colors to see how they work. The beige, cranberry, and forest green gives an oldtime antiquish look. Paper is BoBunny and Stamp Express. Stamp is from JustRite, and dies are Spellbinders Nestabilities. Of course, cranberry, forest, and beige are just various shades of red, green and white.
The warmest wishes card uses pink, lime and white. Again it is a matter of shades of the red and green. Stamp is JustRite, paper from BoBunny and Stamp Express. The embossed part uses C’ordinations with a Cuttlebug folder and then sanded. Ovals are Nesties and buttons from my stash.
Finally, the shaped card (using Nesties) is all aqua and green with white accents. The ornaments are JustRite cling stamps, paper is BoBunny and Stamp Express, ink from Memento by Tsukineko. All supplies are available at www.stampexpressstore.com. Order now and use your 10% off coupon for October.

The fall stamps from JustRite are all so super I couldn’t make up my mind on what to do first. Here’s what I came up with for some of them. I’m still coloring others so stay tuned! All are colored with Copic markers and mounted on various circles from Spellbinders nestabilities. Solid cardstock is C’ordinations and Stamp Express quality cardstock. Designer papers are from BoBunny. All the papers, markers and stamps are for sale right now at www.stampexpressstore.com. Diecuts on the scrapbook page are Sizzix, flowers are Prima and ribbon is from my stash. A little Stickles brightened up the jack-o’lantern eyes. What fun these were to make. Try them.

These stamps will be the “apple of your eye” for September cards and scrapbook pages. The House Mouse of the month this time is really “a-peeling”, especially if you like coloring and blending with the Copic markers. Below are 2 samples of the same stamp. We mounted one on a big apple and put the words inside. The second one is quite simple with a scored and sanded frame on Colorcore cardstock. Words that match this stamp are ” an apple a day keeps the mice at play”. How cute is that? Come to the store to see more examples. One is a t-slider card that was too complicated to show here, but very clever. If you LOVE these mice, sign up for the next Mouseketeers class and create some projects of your own. It’s always the last Tuesday of the month. And in addition to snacking on crackers and cheese, you also go home with the stamps
