Welcome to a JustRite Day at the Beach!!! Our design team is having an absolute blast dreaming of warmer days and the Beach.  Today we are introducing our 3rd Beach themed set from our CHA Release - At the Beach Oval Medallion Labels.  

It also coordinates with our Oval Medallion Label Dies.

Kellie Fortin designed this beautiful card using At The Beach Oval Medallions. 

Kellie Fortin also designed this card using At The Beach Oval Medallions.  She used the shell images to design her background paper and added dimension to her card by using paper shells along with a real shell.

 

 Angela Barkhouse designed this wall hanging for her daughter using At The Beach Oval Medallions with Murdock Country Creations Beach Paper The Pier (Kellie's Line of paper).

Barb Schram designed this stunning beach 4 x 4 wall decor piece using At The Beach Oval Medallions and Seashell Bay Labels Twenty Two.  Barb has also added lots of dimension to her piece by adding paper shells along with real shells.

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!

Michele Kovack designed this adorable Easter Shaped card using Classic Scallop Borders One and Spring Words

 Michele Kovack also designed this cute Easter gift bag using Spring Words and Classic Scallop Borders One

 

Debbie Olson designed this beautiful Easter card using Classic Scallop Borders One and Spring Words

 

  Eva Dobilas has a wonderfully Fresh & Fun -Best Wishes card using Chevron Stripe Background , Spring Words and Classic Scallop Borders.

Eva also created earler this year to create this beautiful Birthday card using Spring words .  You can find all the details on how Eva created this card here.

Introducing Christmas Trimmings

Good Morning Everyone -- Today is the first day of our CHA July Release!!  Since CHA is this month we have 10 Brand New Sets to introduce.  Be sure to stop back in each day to see the new sets we are introducing. Our first new July Set is Christmas Trimmings which has arrived early and is in stock and shipping today!! 

This set is designed to work in coordinate with Merry & Bright and Deck the Halls from our June Release.  

 

The tiny ornaments are designed to coordinate with the tiniest dies from Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments and 2010 Heirloom Ornaments.  The tiny ornaments are the perfect size to adorn the Holly Wreath. 

 

Kellie Fortin  created a shaped Christmas card using Spellbinders Grand Labels Four Die.  She stamped the poinsettia image from Christmas Trimmings to create a frame for her sentiment for this set.  The poinsettia image is a perfect corner element for Christmas Cards.

JustRite 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop 11 - Introducing Ellie Time & A Giveaway!

Before we get started on our Christmas Hop today, we wanted to introduce another one of our new cling stamp sets illustrated by Elizabeth O. Dulemba, Ellie Time:

Aren't Ellie and his little mouse friend adorable?!!  All of the accessory stamps in this set are designed to fit in Ellie's hands!  While the set is geared a little more towards kid's birthdays and Valentine's Day or love, I've used this set geared towards the holidays for my Christmas Blog Hop project today, so please read on for the details AND for a giveaway!

Welcome to the 11th week of JustRite Stampers’  Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops!  Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps!  Don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in our newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too -- you can find them HERE.  This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team are the Stampers Dream design team and a few other special guests!

For the month of November, we thought we would switch gears a little and throw in some holiday gift ideas using JustRite stamps, so be watching for those, too, on November’s hops!  And in celebration of JustRite’s Christmas Blog Hops, we have a huge surprise for you -- take 25% off All JustRite Original Christmas Stamps now through November 29, with free shipping within the U.S. on orders over $50 -- Don't forget to tell Santa!

Here's my blog hop project using Ellie Time:

 

Oh my word -- I had such a fun time making this 6-inch door hanger / wall hanging -- I was giggling the whole time!!  I'm in love with sweet Ellie and today his mouse friend is helping him decorate his Christmas tree!  I stamped Ellie on Copic's X-Press It Blending Card and colored him with all the W-family markers shown below:

 

Ellie & mouse were both cut out and raised on foam tape over the Spellbinders Nested Pine tree.  Ellie's vest was paper pieced from coordinating Basic Grey Jovial paper.  The tree is decorated with a retired Spellbinders die, Holly & Lights.  The gift under the tree is from the Ellie Time stamp set.

 

The Merry & Bright sign was made with JustRite's Christmas Nested Sentiments set which is part of the JustRite Original Christmas stamp sets that are on sale 25% off until November 29!  I die cut the sentiment and frame with JustRite's new custom Nested Sentiment Dies.

The 6-inch background paper's corners were rounded and mounted to a piece of Craft-a-Board, for sturdiness, and red satin ribbon tied through the holes to make this a door hanger or wall hanging.

Please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today, starting off at Beate's blog -- she has a fabulous video tutorial featuring our new acrylic blocks and our Sparky The Snowman cling set!

JustRite Friday Challenge 034: Glitter Magic

Glitter here, glitter there ... glitter everywhere!  It seems whenever we crafters work with glitter, it magically ends up everywhere but since it is oh, so pretty we tend to tolerate it!  So your JustRite Friday Challenge #034 this week is to use glitter somewhere on your project using JustRite stamps -- (most likely the glitter will end up everywhere)!

These JustRite design team members have some awesome glittery project samples today to help spark your creativity.  Please click over to their blogs (highlighted names) for full details:

Michele Kovack made pretty sparkly papers to frame the snowman from our 3-1/4" round Vintage Christmas set:
