JustRite Inspiration

Introducing Fancy Frames Cling Stamps - Plus new items on sale

Today we are introducing a fun new cling set -- Fancy Frames.  This set is designed to go with our JustRite Custom Nested Frame Dies and Spellbinders Labels Fourteen:

 

As you can see, there are some great basic sentiments that will carry you through the entire year, including Mother's Day!  Our entire January stamp release is currently in stock and shipping -- you can see all the sets by clicking on the link above. 

Kellie Fortin used the largest frame in the Fancy Frames set, combined with a sentiment from yesterday's You Inspire Me set, to create this birthday card:

Sharon Harnist also used the large frame but die cut the center out of it, using Spellbinders Labels Fourteen #3 die:

 

To achieve the two colors on this label frame, I first inked the center oval frame with a Memento Summer Sky Dew Drop (to match the Webster's Pages paper), then inked the outer Labels Fourteen shape with Rich Cocoa: 

 

The "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment from this set was also inked with Memento Rich Cocoa, stamped separately, and then die cut with Spellbinders Classic Oval-Sm Nestabilities die #2 and the edges sponged with Cocoa ink.  The sentiment is popped up on foam tape and pearls accent the blue frame.

And speaking of Spellbinders, have you seen their new Grand Calibur die cutting machine?  Besides die cutting their fabulous new collection of Grand Dies, this 8.50" wide machine will accomodate a full sheet of stamped images, to die cut all at once!  I used it while making the card above:

 

Such a time saver ... thanks, Spellbinders!

Introducing You Inspire Me & Fancy Tags Cling

This week we will be revealing 3 New Cling Sets that you will absolutley love!! Our Jan Release Catalog is available for download here  Today we are revealing the first 2 Cling sets- You Inspire Me is a beautiful set of ornate frames designed to coordinate with your JustRite Original 1 5/8" stamps, 2" Stamps and small sentiments. The larger frame coordinates with Spellbinders Petite Ovals.  These frame sets are also great for creating elegant monogram cards using our 95 point font sets. 

  

Design team member Sharon Harnist used our JustRite Original ribbed Times New Roman 95-pt font inside the largest You Inspire Me cling oval frame:

 

Sharon stamped each element separately with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then die cut the monogram with Spellbinders smallest Petite Classic Oval-Sm die and the frame with Spellbinders Classic Oval-Lg die 4.  The frame was layered onto a Large Scalloped Oval frame die cut from chocolate cardstock.

The next cling set we are introducing is Fancy Tags which is designed to coordinate with the large Tear Drop Double ended tag in our Nested Frame Dies as well as the Large tag in our Happy Everything Tag Making Kit.  As you will quickly see our Cling Stamps are designed to work with our JustRite Original Stamps and our JustRite Custom Dies.  

 

My first Project shows you how well all 3 lines work together.   Can you believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner?? 

To create my You're So Sweet Valentine's Day Card I used the large circle frame from You Inspire Me, the 2" Center from You're So Sweet.  One of the tag die stamps from our new Fancy Tags Cling set and a sentiment from the Happy Everything Tag Making Kit with our new tag die from the same kit.  How fun is that!! 

 My second card is a Birthday card for one of my dear friends.

 

For this card -- I used the Oval Frame and a sentiment from  You Inspire Me, the Birthday sentiment from Happy Everything Kit,  A tag cling stamp from Fancy Tags with the Double Ended Tear Drop tag from our Nested Frame Dies. I also used the mat tear drop die from the same set to make the tear drop design really pop. Plus the corner element dies and the Tear Drop Die from our Nested Sentiment Dies.

 Several of you have asked what the dimensions of our custom dies are so here is a graphic showing all the dimensions.

Holiday Friendship & JustRite Sponsoring Copic Creations Challenge!

Today's card is about friendship at the holidays, featuring Friendship Nested Sentiments and JustRite's new Custom Dies!

 

The "Friends are a gift" sentiment was stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink onto Neenah Natural White cardstock and then die cut with the medium plain frame (top grouping of dies below) from our Nested Sentiment Dies: 

The sentiment was sponged with Memento Desert Sand ink and then mounted with foam tape to red patterned paper that was die cut with the large tag die from our Nested Frame Dies (lower left below): 

You will really love how well these two Custom Die sets mingle together and compliment each other so nicely!  And since our dies are made by Spellbinders, they have that beautiful trademark embossed edge!

 

A paper rosette was die cut from more coordinating Pink Paislee Father Christmas paper, mounted to a paper doily that was sponged with Desert Sand ink, and accented with a flat pearl brad.  I love all the dimension this card has, with the popped-up sentiment and rosette:

 

I finished the inside of my card with a small holly Christmas Nested Frame, stamped with Adirondack Lettuce dye ink and colored with Copic markers R27 (from JustRite's Blush Trio) and YG93 (from our Olive Trio): 

 

The holly frame was die cut with the large "top-knot" frame die from our Nested Sentiment Dies.  "May you be blessed this holiday season" was stamped with Rubarb Stalk ink and then die cut with the same medium plain frame die as above, from our Nested Sentiment Dies.

Just a reminder that all of our Nested Frames and Nested Sentiment stamp sets (like the ones I used here) are 20% off through December 30 and all of our JustRite Original ribbed Christmas stamp sets are 25% off through December 30!

We also wanted to let you know that JustRite is sponsoring the new Copic Creations challenge #41 that started today.  You can find full details about the challenge, including your chance to win an awesome JustRite prize package consisting of our new Sparky the Snowman and Sparky & Friends cling stamp sets PLUS our Mini Binder Box, at the Copic Creations blog today!

For a little inspiration, I have a project today that combines all three of these items: our Custom Dies, Nested Sentiments and Just Ducky used for a baby shower gift wrap and card:

 

I made the gift wrap by stamping the duck onto 11" x 17" copy paper:

 

And then coloring it with the Copic markers listed below.  For the card, I stamped the duck onto Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored it with the same Copic markers and accented the bows with Star Dust Stickles.  I die cut it with Spellbinders Large Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities-Sm (largest die) and while the duck was still in the die, airbrushed BG000 Copic marker:

 

A card base was die cut from blue cardstock with the largest Large Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities-Lg die and the duck panel adhered to it.  The "Just for You" sentiment is from our All Occasion Nested Sentiments and it was die cut with the tag die from our Custom Dies-Nested Frames.  The tag frame was sponged with Pear Tart Memento ink and accented with rhinestones.

JustRite design team member, Barb Schram, has this adorable 2-year old's birthday card to share -- click on Barb's hyperlinked name above to get all the details on how she created her just duckie card!

JustRite Friday Challenge 043: Show Your Support

Before we get started with today's JustRite Friday Challenge, we wanted to formally introduce another new JustRite Original Nested stamp set to you, JB-09805 Sympathy Nested Sentiments & Verse:

We originally had this set scheduled to introduce last week, but the blog got a little backlogged with other commitments, so we delayed it to this week.  Then, with the news of the passing of Becca's husband (please see the post a few below this one) over the weekend, we decided to once again put the release on hold.  While making sympathy cards is something we all hope to avoid, there are times we all need them.  So we tried to put together a versatile set that would convey just the right thoughts, when you need them most.  We hope you'll find it useful.  Remember, they will fit in any of our decorative Nested Frames, too.

Today's JustRite Friday Challenge #043 to make a card showing your support -- either Sympathy or Friendship -- had also been planned for the past several months.  Again, these are cards that we might not normally make up in advance, but are always good to have on hand, so we hope this challenge helps you do that!

If you don't have any of our Sympathy or Friendship sets, or Font to make either of these kinds of cards, you may use any of our images (flowers, perhaps?) that might convey those thoughts.  You'll also find some sentiments that would work great in these sets:

All Occasion Nested Sentiments - "Just Because", "Just for You"
Cherish The Memories Nested Sentiments - "Friends"
Tiny Words - "Have Faith", "Sending Hugs"
Romantic Sentiments - Some of these sentiments can work well for friendship, too!
Birthday Centers - "Just For You", "For Someone So Special", "Today I Celebrate You"
Seeds of Kindness - "You Make Me Smile"
Just A Note or Cardmaking Kit - "Thinking of You", "Just Because"
Just A Little Caffeine - "Caffeine & Friends, the Perfect Blend"
Applique - "Stitched With Love"
Hope - All sentiments could work well for sympathy
Kaleidoscope - "Love, Faith, Family & Friends", "Prayers Going Up, Blessings Coming Down"
Stitched With Love - "I love being your friend because..."
Something Sweet - "Wishing you warm thoughts & happy memories"
Birthday Wishes - "May your day be filled with happiness"
Backyard Birds - bird images
Christmas Ornament - "Celebrate the joys of Friendship"
Old Fashioned Christmas - "Good friends make this a season of Love & Laughter"
Plant A Little Love - floral images
My Garden - "Friends are flowers in the garden of life" & floral images 
Friendship Borders & Centers - full of friendship quotes!
Joyful Hearts - "Friends are flowers in the garden of life", "Your kindness touched my heart"
Small Oval Stamper with Special Occasions Font & Bonus floral center - Custom make any sentiment around the floral center!
Breath of Spring & Beautiful Blossoms - floral images
By The Sea - images
Thinking of You - perfect for sympathy
Autumn Blessings - images

These JustRite design team members have challenge samples to share with you today.  Please be sure to click on their highlighed/hyperlinked names to be taken to the full details of their cards.  They've all used our new Sympathy Nested Sentiments set (except where noted) and don't forget about our Friendship Nested Sentiment set we debuted on October 26 -- you can find more samples with that set by visiting this blog post!
