JustRite Friday Challenge #065: For The Love Of ...

For today's new JustRite Friday Challenge #065, For The Love Of . . . we'd like to see what it is you love!  Our challenge to you is to make a project using your JustRite stamps depicting something you love.  Examples: A love/Valentine card for a spouse, sibling, friend.  A love scrapbook page for a child.  An I/you/we love chocolate (or other food, shoes) card or gift.  A floral card because you love flowers, etc.  Easy enough?!!

My sample is a Valentine/Love card, using one of my favorite things to color ... flowers! (JustRite Clear With Sympathy roses):

The roses were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto patterned paper and then colored with Copic markers (colors listed below).

The image was die cut with Spellbinders dies and the seam binding ribbon was also colored with Copic markers to match the roses.

The grand prize for this challenge will be one of our brand new CHA Release stamp sets, a background stamp and a JustRite custom die set of the winner's choice!

JustRite Friday Challenge #064: Inspiration

Hello and welcome back to the JustRite Friday Challenges . . . We hope you all had lovely holidays and are refreshed for the new year!  We also hope you enjoyed seeing all of our new January products we previewed over the last two weeks, because here's your chance to WIN some of them!

Our first challenge for the new year is this tranquil and serene inspiration photo:

Just use the photo to gather inspiration for your project -- either from the colors, patterns, layout, textures or general feeling, combined with your JustRite stamps.

My sample uses the color palette and the bilowy drapes reminded me of butterflies, for this 4"x4" card:

I used JustRite's Clear Botanical Butterflies set, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto ivory cardstock and colored with Copic markers and Atyou Spica Glitter Pens. The butterfly image was die cut with Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle Nestabilities dies and popped up over patterned paper die cut with JustRite's new Nested Oval Medallion Labels dies.

Michele Kovack has a beautiful card showcasing the Jacques Cousteau Labels Twenty Two sentiment from Sea Shell Bay.  Love her selection of the crackled red paper and her fabulous bow.

 Sharon Harnist  - created 2 wonderful home decor pieces using Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty.   Sharon created a wonderful collage of nautical papers to show off our Seahorse image and the relax in the sun label in 8" x  8" shadow box frame.  Then she created a beach memories bottle to show off sand and shells from a family vacation in St. Johns.

 

Barb Schram  shows us just how stunning the Sea Horse Stamp looks stamped in a single color. Barb is using a nautical theme to decorate her guest room so she decorated these 3 IKEA cups by stamping the Sea Horse image in three different colors.

 

And then placed these cups on a towel bar to create a place for her grandchildren to store chalk and chalk erasers for this sweet table that has a chalk board top to write on!! 

 

 Kathy Jones lives in Australia and is in the midst of a heat wave in the middle of Australian Summer.  We are all just a little jealous!!  Kathy used our new Ticking Stripe Background to create the upper half of her card base and paired it with whimiscal fish paper.
