Introducing Myriad Pro Font

Today we are introducing the latest addition to our family of font . . . Myriad Pro 50-point!

 

We have begun repackaging all of our fonts to contain uppercase AND lowercase of all one font size in each package, so you'll have a complete set from which to choose.  Fonts will be available separately in both 50-point and 95-point sizes.  You'll receive at least three of each sized letter (more of some vowels) in each font set size, to make creating your own custom sentiments, words, phrases & names a breeze!

With the release of our new Myriad Pro font, we will be retiring our Brayton Uppercase font, of which our quantities are limited.  So if Brayton has been on your wish list, now's the time to push it to the top of your list and get it before it's gone!

These JustRite designers have project samples using the Myriad Pro 50-point font to share with you today.  Please be sure to visit their blogs (by clicking on their hyperlinked names) to see the full details of their projects:

Please Welcome Guest Designer Jeanne Streiff!

Our guest designer this month is none other than Jeanne Streiff!  Jeanne is a past Splitcoaststampers Dirty Dozen Designer and has designed for many stamp companies.  You can find Jeanne blogging most every day over at her blog, Inky Paws, and she lives up to that name of being inky ... you will love the beautifully colored creations she is so well-known for and has to share with us over the next few days!  So sit back, enjoy, and learn a little bit about Jeanne in our interview with her:

1. Tell us where you live:  "Central Texas."

2. Tell us about your family: "I’ve been married for 25 years.  We have 4 boys (all grown… whew)!"

3. Tell us how long you have been stamping: "5-½ years. I’ve been coloring since I could hold a crayon!"

Here's her first fantastically-colored card, using our Plant A Little Love 3-1/4" round set and Times New Roman Lowercase font:

 

Notes from Jeanne about her card: 

"I stamped the pretty flower border from Plant a Little Love directly on the white panel in black ink and colored with Copic markers. I used the same border on the brown panel, stamping it a couple of times to create an interesting pattern, and then colored with Copic markers. The sweet flower image (Plant a Little Love) was also colored with Copic markers. After coloring, the flower image was cut with a Spellbinders™ Standard Circle die and then popped up with foam squares."

 

"The “hi” tag circle was made with the Times New Roman Lowercase font and then cut with Spellbinders™ Standard Circle die. I used a simple bow with a button and hemp to finish off the project."

I love how these colors pop against the white background and the gorgeous element Jeanne made with the border on the brown cardstock ... so creative!  We will continue our interview with Jeanne over the next two days, so we hope you'll check back for that and to see more of her fabulous cards!

JustRite Friday Challenge 024: Sketch

For today's challenge we have a JustRite sketch.  For this week's JustRite Friday Challenge #024, you must use the sketch combined with JustRite stamps and the requirement of a red, white & blue Americana color scheme in honor of the upcoming U.S. Independence Day:

 

This time, our sketch will be working with oval shapes (you can find our selection of large oval stamp sets HERE and small oval stamp sets HERE).  But remember, you are not limited to just using oval shaped stamps -- you can cut any of our stamp images into an oval shape to use! 

Your card or project doesn't have to be related to U.S. Independence Day ... these colors also lend themselves wonderfully for any kind of masculine or nautical project.  So think anniversary or birthday cards, gifts (maybe an altered frame?), scrapbook page, or plain old summer fun, too!  But also, if you happen to know any military service men or women, it would be fabulous to send your card to them, thanking them for their service to our country.

Here's my nautical sample, using JustRite's large oval stamp set By The Sea . . . I think this will make a great birthday card for my brother or father-in-law's summer birthdays coming up!

 

I stamped the sailboat image and colored it with the Copic markers listed below, then die cut the image with a Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestabilities die.

Red Copic Atyou Spica Glitter Pen was used to precisely color the rope border.  Cuttlebug embossed swirls and tied buttons finish this card.

Some of our JustRite design team members also have samples for you today ... here's Kathy Jones' interpretation, turning the sketch sideways to fit the beach scene:

 

Kathy also used our By The Sea set, combined with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment from our new All Occasion Nested Sentiments set!  Click on over to Kathy's blog, Inspired to Stamp, for the full details about her card.

Design team member, Stephanie Kraft, also turned the sketch sideways and added her own custom wording, using our Times New Roman Uppercase 25-point font:

 

Wonderful sentiment and fabulous hand-crocheted stars!  You can find out the full details for making Stephanie's card at her blog, Handcrafted by Stephanie.

And Michele Kovack has this beautiful flowers of love card, using our large oval Thinking of You set:

 

There's a lot of inspiration to get you started!  Are you ready to try your hand at the sketch?  This week's challenge winner will receive our two newly-released 2" square Christmas stamp sets (From Our House & Hearts Come Home) debuted earlier this week, PLUS a 2" Square Wood Stamper! 

 

Honorable Mention winners will each receive a newly-released square Christmas stamp set of their choice!

CHALLENGE  RULES:
You will need to use JustRite products for your project and upload it to an online blog, gallery or photo hosting website.  (Please see our blog post HERE for important information about our gallery on Flickr, how to upload to it, and another opportunity to win some JustRite products!).

JustRite Scrapbook Inspiration from the Spellbinders Booth at CHA

It is so much fun to see what other companies design team members create with our stamps!!  Today we are featuring some FAB!!  scrapbook pages that were on display at the Spellbinder's booth last week.  

The first gorgeous page was designed by Kazan Clark.  You will also want to click through to Kazan's blog to see her beautiful JustRite Card-- you will want to case its terrific design!!  A little birdie tells me that a JustRite Friday Scrapbook Challenge is in the making.... so we thought this would be a perfect time to inspire you to take out those unscrapped photos and think about how you can use your JustRite Stamps to create a scrapbook layout!!  

 
 Don't you just love the sweet pictures used for this adorable Easter page. The minute I saw the page in the Spellbinder's booth - I knew it had to be designed by JustRite Design team member Heidi Blankenship.  I was so excited when I finally got to have dinner with Heidi at CHA.  Our CHA schedules are always so hectic, it was great fun to finally get to visit in person with Heidi!!

Here is a close up of the title for the page made using JustRite Times New Roman Upper & Lowercase Font with a hint of Trompe Upper Case Font.

Here the designer used Times New Roman Font to preserve the date of these precious photos. Later this week I will be back with more great projects from Spellbinder's CHA Booth Display.
