JustRite Friday Challenge #076 - "Stars & Stripes"

I am really having fun hosting the challenges here at JustRite Inspiration!  I hope you are having fun playing along as well.  I wanted to point out a few helpful hints to help you find your way around the blog.  If you haven't done so, please take this opportunity to "grab our button" on the side menu.  Also, you can click on the challenge button graphic on our blog to go directly to the current challenge (a little secret that I use to help me find it).  I also have a list of upcoming challenges in the "Challenges" menu.

For this challenge, it's all about "Stars & Stripes" - create a project with stripes and use at least one star!  Some of you may immediately think of a patriotic theme but you are not limited to red, white & blue.  I made 2 examples that will hopefully inspire you to the think outside the box!

This is a fun card for any occasion using a sentiment from Christmas Vintage Labels One and lace edge border from Classic Lace Edges One that was stamped directly on my striped paper. I also wanted to do a traditional "stars & stripes" theme using the same Christmas set but this time I added the polka dot label and a sentiment from Summer Words.

You can get full details about how I created my cards on my blog here.

The rest of the team is gearing up for the July Release Hop starting Monday, July 2nd. So please check back every day next week to see all the amazing projects we will have for you!

The Grand Prize Winner for JRC#076 will receive 1 cling Background AND 1 cling stamp set of choice PLUS 1 Cling Stamp Storage box.

The 3 Honorable Mentions for JRC#076 will each receive 1 background stamp of choice PLUS a 5" x 6" acrylic stamp block.

The Random Draw Winner for JRC#076 will receive 1 clear Lace Edges stamp set of choice PLUS a 2" x 8" acrylic stamp block.

JustRite Friday Challenge #075 - Color Challenge

I think this challenge will be a little easier than the last few have been lately. For this challenge, simply create a card or project using the colors referenced in the inspiration photo or similar:

 
I immediately thought about using pennants on my card in some way because of the photo but then I got a shipment in the mail from JustRite and I really wanted to color my new Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two seahorse instead:

The GORGEOUS orange ribbon I used is silk 1/4" ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  It is so soft and luxurious to work with!  I just can't have too many colors of this stuff!!  You can find it here.

I don't think there is a wrong way to color this little guy, however, I know I am not a pro at coloring so you shouldn't feel intimidated to try some coloring yourself.  It has become one of my favorite relaxing things to do after a long day and you may surprise yourself!  If you'd like more details of my project, please visit my blog HERE.

Supplies:

Stamps: JustRite CL-02220 Sea Shell Bay Labels Twenty Two
Dies: Spellbinders S4-346 Labels Twenty-Two, S5-107 Lattice Motifs, Grand Caliber
Ink: Ranger Antique Linen & Vintage Photo Distress Inks, COPIC Sketch Markers 

Paper: Pink Paislee Nantucket, Authentique Gathering

Accessories: silk ribbon from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store

Darsie Bruno created her card with lots of gorgeous ribbon and lace from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store using Large Fancy Sentiments and a sneak peek of the new Antique Labels One Die.

Eva Dobilas chose a vibrant color palette using Chevron Stripe Background, Heart Scroll Background, Royal Antique Labels One, Seeds Of Summer, Vintage Label & Banner Dies and a sneak peek of the new Antique Labels One Die.

This week we are very excited to announce that Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store will be sponsoring our challenge again this week. The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store carries the full range of JustRite Stamps and an absolutely fabulous selection of ribbons and new seam bindings which you will be seeing the JustRite Team use throughout the next few weeks.  

 

The Grand Prize Winner for JustRite Friday Challenge #075 will receive the prize package shown (valued at over $40) with various ribbons, papers and gemstones from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store PLUS a JustRite Custom OR Spellbinders Die set of choice from the JustRite Papercraft Store. WOW!
