Day 2 With Guest Designer, Selma Stevenson!

Today guest designer Selma Stevenson is back with us, to share this stunning creation:

 

An easel gift box she created with our Sparky and Friends cling stamp set!

Notes from Selma:

"The box used for this project is 3 inches square. On the top of the box I created a 3 inch square easel card. A piece of Webster’s Pages design paper was added to the bottom of the card. The snow people were stamped and colored with Copic markers. The edges were sponged with Tea Dye Distress ink. Each corner was punched so I could add gold cording around the edges. A slightly larger green piece of card stock was distressed and the design added to this piece."

 

"To hold the easel portion up, a gold button was attached with a glue dot then I added a pretty gold corded bow which was also attached with a glue dot. Three tiny jingle bells were added. Gold/white trim was added around the bottom of the lid. This little box will be great for a small gift or small tags!"

What a unique and delightful idea to add an easel card to the top of this gift box, Selma -- such a stunning combination and gift in itself that the recepient will treasure for years to come!  Please be sure to check back tomorrow for our final day with Selma and to see the gorgeous holiday cards she has created for you!

Please Welcome Guest Designer, Selma Stevenson!

This week we are delighted to share with you the beautiful artwork of Selma Stevenson!  Here's a little more about Selma:

"I love to stamp, learn new techniques and share my creations with others. I have enjoyed blogging and making new friends and have had the honor to serve on several design teams. I am always on the lookout for new products and stamps so I can create and share these with others. I am married and have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. My husband and I are retired."

Selma blogs at Selma's Stamping Corner -- please visit her there, to see more of her fabulous inspiration!

Selma will be sharing her artwork here on the JustRite Inspiration blog today through Wednesday . . .  here's her first stunning creation, a snow globe using our Sparky and Friends cling stamp set!

 

Notes from Selma:

"This was such a fun project to do (although a little difficult to photograph)! When I saw these little snow people, I wanted to create a snow globe. It was very easy. The globe is a 2.5 inch clear ornament. A 2.5 inch piece of acetate was cut out with a Circle Nestabilities die. The design was stamped on the acetate with black Stazon ink. The images were colored on the back of the acetate using Sharpie permanent markers. When you color on acetate the design is very transparent. In order to get an opaque design, I painted the entire back with Bic Wite Out Quick Dry Correction Fluid. I was really pleased with how well the design now shows up! After the correction fluid was completely dry, I rolled the acetate up, using tweezers, and pushed it through the neck of the opening. You need to be sure you are putting the top of the design in first. Some fake Christmas snow was added in the globe to create the effect of real snow below the snow people. Snowflakes were added to the outside of the globe. I used a crystal votive candle holder for my base. It was placed in a small holly Christmas wreath. A plaid bow was added to complete it."

Wow, I never would have thought to use a clear holiday ornament to make a snow globe, Selma -- absolutely fabulous!!  We hope you'll check back the rest of this week to see Selma's other wonderful projects!

We'll be back a little later today with our weekly Flickr winners!

Just a reminder that this was our last Friday Challenge for this year.  We know you all will be busy with your families & friends celebrating the holidays and may not have as much time as you'd like to participate in challenges until after the new year, so we'll resume our challenges again on the first Friday of the new year, January 7.

However, we will still keep our Flickr gallery weekly winners (3 per week, announced on Mondays) going strong through the holidays, so you can still share all of your JustRite stamping projects with us, with the added bonus of possibly winning a JustRite stamp set of your choice!  You can read more about to be a Flickr gallery winner HERE.

 

JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 12!

Welcome to the final week of JustRite Stampers’  Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops!  We have been showcasing our entire Christmas Collection of stamps during these hops and ALL of those JustRite Original stamps are currently on sale at 25% off now through November 29, with free shipping within the U.S. on consumer orders over $50!  You can view all of those Holiday Sale stamp sets HERE. 

If you would like to go back through all of the hops and see all of the gorgeous Christmas inspiration from the past 11 weeks, you can do so by clicking on our 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops category on the lower right sidebar of our blog (<=or click on that linked text!).  All of the designers’ projects are hyperlinked directly to their blog posts that have full details of how they created the project, so you won’t have to search for them!

Don’t forget that we also have some Christmas stamps in our newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too -- you can find all of our cling stamp sets HERE.  This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the 2 Sketches 4 You designers!  JustRite is sponsoring this week’s 2S4Y #66 sketch challenge.  You can find the fabulous sketch inspiration AND details about the JustRite prize package, by visiting their blog post HERE.

My project for today's hop is a customized holiday card (that loosely follows the 2S4Y sketch!) and matching envelope:

 

I used the Holiday Demi Phrase "Wishing You Joy & Peace" on a 1-5/8" round stamper to start the customized greeting on my holiday card.  Then finished the greeting with our family name, using Times New Roman 15-point Font in the outer border of the stamper:

 

Next, I stamped the poinsettia from our 2" square Hearts Come Home stamp set, cut it out and popped it up on foam tape in the center of the greeting.  The return address for the envelope was created with a 2" clear square stamper and Times New Roman 15-point Font on the outer border, and another poinsettia stamp, so the whole ensemble would coordinate!

 

I'll keep this stamper set up with our address all year, and just change out the center image or monogram initial seasonally!

Please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today!  The 2 Sketches 4 You blog has a LOT of inspiration for you, from their designers, as well as new holiday inspiration on each of their individual blogs linked below!
