JustRite Friday Challenge #063: Christmas

If you are looking for the Friday Challenge #062 Winners - scroll down to the next post.

Today’s new JustRite Friday Challenge #063 is to finish up (or get started!) on your holiday cards or tags.  Before this challenge date ends, we will all be in full holiday mode -- can you believe it?!!  And since we know how busy everyone is during the holidays, this will be our last Friday Challenge for the year.  But don't worry -- we'll be back again in January!

My holiday tag sample uses JustRite’s Original interlocking Peace on Earth large oval stamp set, which is on our current 25% off Christmas sale!

The image was stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink on ivory cardstock and die cut with Spellbinders Classic Oval Nestabilities, then mounted to a 2010 Heirloom Ornament die cut.

I used Spellbinders Labels Twenty-One for my tag shape and scattered  glittered die cut snowflakes all over it.  Now let’s see what you come up with!

The grand prize for this challenge will be TWO sets of die templates from the JustRite webstore!

 

THREE honorable mention winners will each receive ONE set of dies from our webstore!

Introducing Peace on Earth- JustRite 2011 Christmas One Release

Welcome to Day One of the JustRite June Release.  This month we are introducing stamps from our 2011 Christmas Release One.  Plus the June Release also includes our first set designed for masculine cards- Just in time for Father's Day!!  Sit back and enjoy - You will love this release.

Our first set for the release is Peace on Earth.  You may find this hard to believe but this is our first Large Oval Christmas Set.  We will be introducing 4 Large Oval Christmas Sets between our June Christmas Release One and July Christmas Release Two. 

 

Peace on Earth will quickly become one of your favorite JustRite Christmas sets.  You will love the Shabby Chic feel of all the design elements and of course the design team samples will shoot this set to the top of your JustRite Wish list.

Peace on Earth was designed with a new JustRite twist -- the center images all have design elements that coordinate with Spellbinders Nestabilities but the elements are not ovals.  The center designs coordinate with Labels Six, Labels Ten, Labels Fourteen and Labels Eighteen.  This will allow your to create wonderful  three dimensional layers on your cards.  Use the dies to layer up or use them to create frames and windows for the sentiments.

Kellie Fortin die cut the oval image with Labels Ten and used two Fancy Tags Two diecuts to mat the Labels Ten layer to give the sentiment a vintage frame.  You can find more details on her blog post.

 

Becca Feeken's card is exquiste in every detail. Just Love how she has presented her card as a gift wrapped present. To give her card more depth she create a frame using her Labels Six Die to highlight her sentiment.  

Love how she paired this set with a frame from our Elegant Frame Cling set to give her card the feel of a vintage postcard.  This is a look back at the Elegant Frame Cling Set. 

 
Debbie Olson used Labels Ten to die cut the interior of the oval sentiment as well as the exterior oval to create a beautiful layered effect for her stunning card.

 

Kazan Clark created this beautiful Vintage Christmas Card by combining our sentiment with this sweet vintage snow angel.   What a perfect accent for her Christmas Card. For all the details visit Kazan's Blog.

 

 Mona Pendleton created this beautiful card  complete with lace trim and zig zag stitiching.  She also used Labels Ten to mat her layers but notice how she decide to accentuate the stamped label ten image by creating two mat layers using the Labels Ten Die to die cut the inner oval center and the oval border.  

 

Michele Kovack 's card has a delightful shabby chic feel with a touch of glitter, a doily and sheet music.  Visit Michele's blog for all the details.

 

Stephanie Kraft's created this beautiful Christmas card designed with more traditional Christmas colors and mat layers created with Spellbinders Labels Six Dies: 

Angela Barkhouse --die cut the oval Christmas image with new 2011 Spellbinders Heirloom Die which we will be revealing here on the JustRite blog on Thursday -June 9th!!  It is a sneak peek of one of the many dies that Spellbinders will be revealing at the Summer CHA Show.  You will love it --- and of course the reveal will include stamps designed to coordinate with the new dies!! 

 

 Heidi Blankenship created this wonderful card with non traditional colors by die cutting her oval using Lacey Ovals with a baby blue mat layer created with a Labels Seventeen Die . She also highlighted the sentimnet with Labels Fourteen Nest-a-Bling.

 

 
 

JustRite Friday Challenge 051: An Act of Kindness

Welcome to another JustRite Friday Challenge!  Before we get started with today's challenge, we wanted to keep our promise to let you know when the Spellbinders dies that matched our February release arrived in our warehouse.  They have, and are now available in our webstore!  They include Blossoms Three, Labels Eighteen, and Labels Twenty.  On each die description page, you'll find a link to the stamp set(s) the dies coordinate with!

This challenge #051 is to create a Random Act of Kindness card or gift to tell someone how much you appreciate them OR a thank you card for someone that may have bestowed a random act of kindness to YOU!

This week's grand prize challenge winner will receive: JB-09860 My Rainbow JustRite Original Ribbed large oval stamp set and CL-02100 Vintage Oval Labels cling stamp sets:

AND coordinating Spellbinders Labels Thirteen and Labels Eighteen die template sets:

For a total combined retail value of almost $82.00!

Three honorable mention winners will receive My Rainbow large oval stamp set:

To show you how well JustRite's Original Ribbed stamps intermingle and work well with our cling stamps, I used My Rainbow JustRight Original Ribbed large oval stamp set, combined with Vintage Oval Labels cling stamp together on this label for a vase of flowers I thought would cheer someone's day, as a random act of kindness:

 

First, I stamped the Original Ribbed My Rainbow sentiment with Memento Rose Bud ink, then I stamped the beautiful Vintage Oval Label stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored the label with these Copic markers, to match the colors in the hydrangea:

 

Using Spellbinders largest Labels Thirteen die, I cut and embossed the label, then sponged the edges with creamy brown ink.  I attached the label to some ribbon wrapped around a nicely shaped bottle I recycled and wah-lah . . . I have an instant pretty vase of flowers!

 

Here are more samples by our design team to help spark your creativity for this challenge.  Please click on each hyperlinked name to be taken to blog posts with full design details:

Introducing Hugs to You

Welcome to more previews of our March Release - You will love our new Oval Designs now with a rectangular center.  Hugs to You is all about creating elegant cards in a matter of minutes.  These oval designs can be die cut in a traditional oval Nestabilities or die cut with Spellbinders Labels Eighteen!!  Hugs to You is in stock and shipping!

To create the background of my card I used the the A2 Large Retro Circle Embossing Folder from Sizzix's Christmas Set 6.  Then I gentle applied Danube Blue Ink with a Jumbo Dauber to the embossed surface to make the embossed design pop.  I also added a touch of Danube Blue to my Prima white roses and the embossed edges of the Labels Eighteen die cut to give my card the feel of Delft China.
