Darsie Bruno Heart Box

 Darsie has another beautiful box to share with us today!!  Thanks so much Darsie for allowing us to share your projects here on the JustRite Blog this week!  We are so excited to have you as the newest member of our design team!!

Heart Box

 

I created this pretty heart box using two new releases from JustRite called “Always & Forever Medallion Labels, and Lace Borders Two”
with Spellbinders Classic and  Scalloped Hearts as the base. I love the delicate lacy look I achieved when I embossed one of the stamps from Lace Borders Two with white embossing powder on my designer paper. I added a big fluffy tulle bow, then topped it with more hearts, a glittery flower, beaded stick pins and a double silk bow! My tiny sentiment from Always & Forever Medallion Labels packs a big punch, and sometimes, just one word is enough!

 

Project Recipe:
JustRite Stamps:  Always & Forever Medallion Labels, Lace Borders Two
Dies: Spellbinders Classic Hearts, Scalloped Hearts
Inks: Versamark, Memento Tuxedo Black, Ranger Seafoam White Embossing Powder
Paper:  Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings, White (Bazzill)

Embellishments: May Arts Silk Ribbon, Crepe Glittered Flower, Decorative Stick Pins, White Tulle, Recollections Pearl Trims

Darsie Bruno Easter Blessings - Rejoice!

Today Darsie Bruno  has a wonderful Easter Card to share here on the JustRite Blog featuring one word from our Easter Blessings. You can see more detailed photos of her card on her blog post here.

Rejoice!

 JustRite’s Easter Blessings has inspired me in so many ways with the variety of stamps included.

I chose to use the sentiment “Rejoice” from the set for this card and to frame it with Spellbinders Classic Petals Edgeabilities. I stamped the sentiment three times on white cardstock, shaded the edges with a pretty soft teal ink, and adhered it to a teal panel. Next, I cut 4 edges with the Classic Petals die, 2 in teal cardstock, and two in Tim Holtz’s Idealogy paper stack. I then used the decorative insert from the Edgeabilities on those edge pieces. I adhered the patterned paper pieces on top of the teal pieces, then added pop-dots to the back. I added a satin bow and a cross charm to the lower piece before adding it underneath my sentiment. I adhered the smaller edge piece over the top of my sentiment, then adhered the entire panel to a white card.

Introducing our newest design team member - Darsie Bruno

Today we are very excited to announce that Darsie Bruno is officially joining the JustRite Design team.   Darsie has been a frequent JustRite Challenge Player and has won several of the JustRite Challenges she has participated in!   She has amazed us with her beautiful work as a guest designer.  As a special JustRite Treat she will be sharing her newest creations here on the JustRite blog for the next three days.

To say that Darsie is slightly addicted to JustRite stamps is an understatement. When I asked her which JustRite Stamps she owned the list was huge!  Congratulations Darsie!!!  We can't wait to see what you create next!!

Officially Introducing Darsie Bruno:

I do not remember a time when I wasn’t dreaming or creating as I grew up. I have ventured into all sorts of craft mediums from quilting, doll making, photography and more. I was introduced to paper crafting through a local stamp store in 2004 and haven’t looked back! I love it when a card comes together from the image in my mind. A proud mom of three adult children, I live in a small town in Upstate New York where I create my works of art. I’m so excited to be a part of JustRite Stamps! It’s a dream come true!

 

Thinking of You Today

 

As I was digging through my tons of paper, I found an Anna Griffin paper stack that I didn’t even remember buying! I am so glad I did, because as soon as I saw it, I let out a squeal and immediately knew I would use it for a card I had in mind for JustRite’s Always & Forever Medallion Labels. The pretty frame stamps are just gorgeous embossed with white embossing powder on designer paper! I used Nested Medallion Label Dies, and Nested Oval Medallion Label Dies to cut out my stamped images. I added pop dots to each piece and layered them onto Spellbinders Blossom and Tags die. I cut a small die from Labels Seventeen for my sentiment, which I edged with Copic markers. I used an embossing folder to add some texture to my green cardstock for the top of my card and the lower portion is a beautiful floral print from the Anna Griffin stack.  I stamped a pretty border using Lace Borders, and adhered it to my card panel. I added my sentiment medallion, then a satin and organza bow, beaded stick pins and was finished!

Masculine Birthday with guest designer Tosha Leyendekker

First I want to send a very special Thank You to my dear friend Tosha Leyendekker  for inspiring us this week with all her gorgeous work!!  It is always an honor when Tosha picks up a JustRite Stamp to create a card!!!  You can find weekly inspiration from Tosha on her blog Stamp Talk with Tosh. 

Today Tosha has a gorgeous masculine Birthday card to share with us -- and it is clean classic and stunning!!!  Here's Tosha:

Masculine Birthday  

 

I’m in constant need of masculine cards, so I thought the Birthday sentiment from Spring Words would be  a perfect focal point.  I kept the accessories limited since men rarely appreciate the vintage lace, flowers, and sparkle that make a card pop.

JustRite Stamps:  Spring Words
Inks:  French Roast (a muse), Onyx Black (Versafine), Brushed Corduroy (Ranger Distress)
Dies: Wonky Rectangle Die (Spellbinders)

Introducing Easter Blessings with guest designer Darsie Bruno and the JustRite Design Team

A Special Thank you to this week's guest designer Darsie Bruno!!  We have been so inspired by all your projects Darsie!  Today Darsie has a wonderful JustRite Easter Basket filled with JustRite Easter Eggs! 

Today's projects from Darsie and the JustRite Design Team using Easter Blessings are SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!  Be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY!!

Here's Darsie: 

 

 Instructions:
Basket:  Stamp a Lace Border on cardstock with Versamark and emboss with white powder. Make 16 and cut as strips. (See photo for reference) Put eight strips aside and glue 4 strips to the remaining 4 strips end to end. Next, cut the eight strips you set aside in half.

To weave: Lay all 4 long lace pieces parallel to each other and taking the short pieces, start weaving in and out. You will have an overhang, but do not cut these off. They will be your tabs to attach the bottom of the basket.

Once you’ve finished weaving, glue the ends together to make the basket form. Fold the tabs. Cut the largest Classic Circle die and attach basket form to circle with tabs. Cut circle to fit. Cut a smaller circle to fit inside the basket to cover tabs.

Handle: With the Classic Scallop Edgabilities, cut out a strip with scallops on both sides. Add decorative cuts with the Decorative Insert from Triple Classic Scallops Edgabilities. Attach to basket. Decorate handle with pearls and ribbon, then wrap tulle around handle and adhere to inside of basket at edge.

Basket edging:  Stamp four strips of a different lace border with Versamark and emboss with white powder. Adhere two strips to top outside edge of basket. Adhere the other two strips on inside of basket, hiding basket handle edges. Decorate with pearls, a tulle or ribbon bow and Prima roses.

To fill my basket I created 5 JustRite Easter Eggs using Easter Blessings.

Here are close up's of my five eggs.

Eggs: Cut 5 pieces of cardstock/decorative paper  4 x 6 inches and fold to 4 x 3 inches. Lay Egg die just to the left of the fold line and cut. This will make an egg card. Emboss with embossing folder, stamp images and sentiments from Easter Blessing stamp set on scraps of white cardstock, and decorate. Fill inside of Egg card with bagged candy or bite-size chocolate bar and tie with a ribbon.

Here is a look at my Easter Basket filled with eggs.

 Project Recipe:
JustRite Stamps: Lace Borders Cling, Easter Blessings Clear Stamps
Dies & Embossing Folders:Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Scallop, Classic Triple Scallop, Classic Circle, Egg
Paper: Decorative Papers, Cardstock
Accessories: Various Embossing Folders and Recollection Pearls, Prima Flowers, Silk Ribbon and Tulle, Bagged Candy or Bite-size Chocolate bars

Introducing Classic Scallop Borders One and Spring Words with guest Designer Darsie Bruno and the JustRite Design Team

Today we are kicking off our CHA Release #2 reveals!! We will be featuring sets from our CHA Release each of the next 5 Days -- including reveals on both Saturday and Sunday!!  At CHA we introduced 21 new stamp sets and 2 custom dies.  In January, we featured the first 8 Sets with sneak peaks of background stamps and borders. 

Today our guest designer Darsie Bruno is kicking off the project reveals for Classic Scallop Borders One and the design team will be showing off Spring Words and Classic Scallop Borders.

Project Recipe:
Stamps: JustRite Classic Scallop Borders One Clear Stamps
Dies:JustRite Custom Dies Oval Nested Labels Medallions Die; Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square
Paper:Double-side Patterned Paper (I used My Mind’s Eye Bohemia)
Ink & Markers: Ranger White Embossing Powder, TsukenikoVersamark Watermark Pad; White Gel Pen
Accessories:White Tulle;Recollection Pearls; Decorative Bird

Here is Darsie's pattern for her birdhouse:

Instructions:

Cut birdhouse out with pattern on  12" x 12 "Double Sided paper. Fold on dotted lines and cut on solid lines. Cut a separate strip of paper, 3 x 1 inches out of the double sided paper and fold in half lengthwise. This is your tab to connect the birdhouse panels.

Cut center out of the birdhouse using the smallest Oval Nested Labels Medallion die. Cut #2 Oval Nested Labels Medallion out of double sided paper. Center the smallest Medallion die on that piece, and cut out the center (this makes the frame for the birdhouse hole). I left the smallest die on, then sponged ink on the inside and outlined it with a white gel pen. Attach to birdhouse using pop dots.

Put birdhouse together using the tab. Cut Fleur de Lis Square out of double side paper and attach to a slightly larger panel. Glue bottom tabs of birdhouse to Fleur de lis square panel.

 

 Roof and Shingles: Stamp a border on doubled side paper with Versamark and emboss with white embossing powder. Make 10 and cut out scalloped edges. Arrange 5 on top of each other to resemble shingles and glue. Make 2 of these 5 stripe panels (this is your roof).

Cut a 5 1/4" x 4" panel from double sided paper, score and  fold at  ¼ inches and 2 ¾  inches. Glue ¼ tab to side of birdhouse for roof. Attach Shingle panels on both sides of roof. (One part of the roof is able to lift to add candy or a gift inside)

Eaves: Stamp a different border on double sided paper with Versamark and emboss with white powder. Make 1, cut scalloped edges, cut apart (as shown) and glue to eaves of birdhouse in the front.

Lower Birdhouse Border: Stamp a third border on double sided paper with Versamark and emboss with white powder. Make 3 and cut out scalloped edges. Adhere to the bottom of the birdhouse. Pierce a hole underneath the birdhouse hole for the perch. Make the perch by rolling 1 x 1 inch square of double sided paper tightly, gluing down edge, then inserting into pierced hole on birdhouse. Add pearls to decorate, tie a pretty tulle bow, and finish off with a sweet bird. 

 Classic Borders One is designed to coordinate with the Scalloped Edger cutting die from Spellbinders E8-001 Classic Scallop Edgeabilities

 The Classic Scallop Edgeabilities set features an Edger that cuts/embosses scallops at one inch wide scallops. The Decorative inserts are a lacey scallop and circles, both repeating at one inch intervals.

Classic Scallop Borders also matches the Scallop Die in Classic Edges One.

Spring Words is a great go to set for all your Spring Projects.  The words all have a vintage flair and will take you through all the Holidays from March - May!

Putting it together: Adhere #4 piece first to top of box, then #3 piece. Add pretty rose, feather and silk bow. Attach sentiment to #2 piece and adhere to box. Decorate with pearls.

 Be sure to stop in tomorrow to see Darsie's Valentine's Day Project.

JustRite Friday Challenge #066: Sketch

Today's new JustRite Friday Challenge is to use this sketch as inspiration for your challenge project, along with your JustRite stamps:

My sympathy card sample uses JustRite's new clear set, Cast All Your Cares:

I stamped the pretty frame with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers R27 and T4.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk and the faux jewels on the sides of the frame were glittered with Star Dust Stickles.  The frame was die cut with Spellbinders' coordinating Labels 16 Nestabilities die and mounted with foam tape over a white doily.  Machine stitching, red seam binding ribbon and a white paper flower complete the card.

The grand prize for this challenge will be THREE (3) JustRite Clear stamp sets of the winner's choice!

THREE honorable mention winners will each receive TWO (2) JustRite Clear stamp sets of the winner's choice!
