Jbelle Inspiration

I'm running a little late today, but I do have a Jbelle challenge card to share with you. The challenge is to choose one of the darling little girl dresses shown on this website, and use it to inspire your creation. Goodness there were so many cute choices, but I finally settled on this one, because the red trim reminded me of some great May Arts ribbon I have. I also used the seams and snowflake to come up with my layout.
And here's my card:
The ribbon is from May Arts, as I mentioned. The snowflake is a Sizzix die cut, which I dressed up using a Prima Say it in Studs center. I ran my three panels thru my cuttlebug with an embossing folder, finishing off the edges with a gold paint pen. And lots of dimensionals tossed in for good measure.
Here are the links to the rest of the players. Hopefully you'll find time and inspiration to join us. Use keyword JBE080 when uploading.

Bags, Tags, and Gifts, oh my!

Today's Jbelle Challenge is something for gift giving, like a bag, tag, or the gift itself. I made a bag using a 6 x 12 inch piece of My Mind's Eye paper (from the Ooh La La for Her kit). The finished bag measures 3.25 x 2.5 inches x 4.25 inches tall.

The top half inch of decorative paper is the reverse side of the paper, folded down. Then I added a scalloped border and decorated the front. The flowers and tag (on which you can write the recipient's name) are pieces from the same My Mind's Eye pack. I used a green piece of paper from the kit to freehand some stems and leaves. Some finishing touches include the Me and My Big Ideas gemstones and May Arts ribbon for the handle.

It's Another Jbelle Tuesday!

And today's challenge is a sketch challenge. I really liked this sketch and my card came together pretty quickly. I started with the Basic Grey June Bug 6 x 6 paper pad and picked out a matching embellishment from the June Bug Pops, the heart. I layered the heart on kiwi kiss card stock and cut a thin border so it would have a little contrast against the patterned papers. The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne's Monthly Mix, There's Something to Crow About. I stamped the "thanks" in multiple colors and cut out the blocks to mix and match. Then I added a few Daisy D rhinestones to dress it up even more.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to Stamping Around Philly this Friday and Saturday. I can't wait to meet some new stampers and have a busy couple of stamping days. I'm sure I'll have pictures for you next week. Hopefully I'll be able to pop in with some eye candy for you between now and then, as well.

What's In It?
Stamps: Something to Crow About (Lizzie Anne Monthly Mix)
Paper: real red, kiwi kiss, pirouette pink (SU), June Bug (Basic Grey)
Ink: real red, kiwi kiss (SU), onyx black (VersaFine)
Other: embossed curve punch (EK Success), rhinestones (Daisy D), June Bug pop (BG), ribbon (SU), dimensionals

abc, 123, baby, you and me!

Are you singing with me?

Today's Jacksonbelle challenge is to make a 1, 2, 3 card. That means:

1 stamp
2 embellishments
3 (or less) layers

So I used one stamp (Lizzie Anne Designs' Get Well Soon), two embellishments (crystal swirls and flower from Prima) and three layers (including this Mistletoe and Co. patterned paper from Pink Paislee).

I hope you'll play along with us this week. Here's a link to the challenge on the Jbelle blog. And here are all of the rock stars with more samples for you:

Fall is in the Air

It has been downright chilly hear lately! Today is actually a heat wave at 64 degrees. Josh and I have been missing some of our morning walks, because it has been 32 ! That's freezing! Literally! Regardless, the air is crisp, the leaves are floating to the ground, and the sky is blue as can be. Yep, fall is most definitely in the air. Therefore, my fall inspired card for today's Jbelle Tuesday challenge.

The challenge today is a sketch challenge. And I knew exactly which papers I wanted to use. These gorgeous, totally autumnal Captivating papers by Pink Paislee. Love 'em. I colored my image (PTI) with SU markers and a water color brush. Made a sentiment flag and accented it with this gorgeous Prima Say It In Studs piece. I use my photo corner punch to make the little flag ends.

Vellum Challenge

Today's Jacksonbelle challenge is to use vellum.

Hmmmm. I had to think about this one for a little while. Then I decided to stamp my image (from Stampavie) directly on the vellum. By coloring with markers on the back of the stamped image, then you get this nice soft look on the front. And you don't have to worry about your ink smearing, because you're coloring on the back side. I also dry embossed all of her fur trim to make it nice and white, as well as dimensional. Cute, huh? I also edged the vellum in glitter and added brads to my Ooh La La paper.

I hope you find some time to play along with the Jbelle Rockstars this week and incorporate some vellum into one of your projects. It really can give you lots of cool, unexpected effects. Check out the rest of the team:

Other: glue pen, glitter, brads, dimensionals, dry embossing stylus

Ribbon Optional

Hello! Guess what? Lindsey is kicking off the fall season with a really fun month of challenges on the Jacksonbelle Embellishments blog. There will actually be five challenges. One for every Tuesday in September, starting today. And, yep, there are fab prizes involved. The Grand Prize winner will receive a $50.00 Gift Certificate to the store! Second Place, $30.00 and Third Place, $15.00! There will be a goodie package going out to ALL winners!!

You must use stamps or other store product as your main focus, and you must email all five of your cards at the end of the five challenges to jacksonbelle.embellishments@gmail.com no later than Thursday, October 1st at midnight (EST). Please check out the blog for more details, and don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. We sure hope to have you play along!

And now for challenge number one: A One Layer Card!



Okay, I know this may be tough, but let's see if you can follow me. LOL.

1. Make card base with Basic Grey June Bug paper.
2. Slap on rhinestones and Pops stickers.
3. Stamp sentiment.
4. (and this one's optional) Tie on ribbon.

There was A LOT of discussion among the design team as to what qualifies as a one layer card. I'm pretty sure the final answer was: Your card base (stamped as you please), with as many accessories as you'd like. But no more card stock.

Get more gorgeous inspiration from the whole Jbelle Team!

You Are My Sunshine...

...my only sunshine. You make me happy.....

Yeah, you get the picture. This week's Jbelle challenge is a fond farewell to summer. That could mean summer images like bugs, flowers or beach stamps. Or maybe hot summer colors like orange, yellow or red. Or maybe your shine comes from Shimmerz or Stickles. Once you've made your summer card, leave a comment on the Jacksonbelle Embellishments blog so we can all check it out.

I LOVE summer and wish it could last all year long. I won't hold my breath though, not here in the northeast. Here's my sunshine card. It's five inches square. I used some Lizzie Anne stamps from the August Monthly Mix, aptly titled Hey Sunshine, along with these bright, happy June Bug papers. It doesn't get much hotter than that. The matching ribbon is from May Arts and the flowers, from Prima. The flowers are dotted with Stickles (on sale all week).
Jacksonbelle Embellishments has been getting in some fun new stuff recently, the latest and greatest of which, in my opinion, is JENNI BOWLIN! Woot! Go check it out. Just don't buy it all before I get a chance to pick some out. LOL.

What's In It?
Stamps- Hey Sunshine (Lizzie Anne Designs)
Paper- caribbean, turquoise, summer sun (SU), white (PTI), June Bug (Basic Grey)
Ink- tuxedo black (Memento)
Other- Copic markers; eyelets, paper piercer and template (SU), ribbon (May Arts), circle and label 1 die cuts (Spellbinders), flowers (Prima), stickles, foam adhesive

Be sure to check out how the rest of the design team is celebrating summer too.
