JustRite Friday Challenge #066: Sketch

Today's new JustRite Friday Challenge is to use this sketch as inspiration for your challenge project, along with your JustRite stamps:

My sympathy card sample uses JustRite's new clear set, Cast All Your Cares:

I stamped the pretty frame with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers R27 and T4.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rhubarb Stalk and the faux jewels on the sides of the frame were glittered with Star Dust Stickles.  The frame was die cut with Spellbinders' coordinating Labels 16 Nestabilities die and mounted with foam tape over a white doily.  Machine stitching, red seam binding ribbon and a white paper flower complete the card.

The grand prize for this challenge will be THREE (3) JustRite Clear stamp sets of the winner's choice!

THREE honorable mention winners will each receive TWO (2) JustRite Clear stamp sets of the winner's choice!

Guest Designer Beate Johns Day One - With Sympathy

 We are delighted to have the very talented Beate Johns as our guest designer this week!   Beate was such a Sweetheart when I asked her over the Holidays to help us out with Catalog Samples and CHA Samples using our 2012 CHA Release.  Opening each email from Beate was like Christmas!!  I am very excited to final share with you some of her stunning creations.

For today's project Beate used our With Sympathy Set  and Shabby Music Background to create this wonderful Prayers and Blessings Sympathy card.  Now here is Beate with all the details on how she created her Sympathy Card.

For this card I started by creating the background. I knew I wanted to use the gorgeous roses of the new With Sympathy set (CR-03570). I stamped one on the top left, one on the bottom right of a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The image was colored with Copic Markers (1/5th YR31 (custom  marker), R11, R12, R14, G20, G21, G24), masked and stamped with the new Shabby Music Background (CL-03560) in Antique Linen Distress ink. The layer was first sponged with Antique Linen, then with Vintage Photo Distress ink before it was stitched to a 1/4" bigger piece of Canyon Brown Cardstock.

May Arts Ivory Organdy Ribbon was tied around the layers, topped with a button, tied on with Linen thread before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Kraft Cardstock piece, folded in half.

Next I stamped the frame of the set in Burned Noir Palette ink on Solar White cardstock. It was cut and embossed into a frame with the new JustRite exclusive Oval Medallion Label dies as well as a Classic Oval Nestabilities die. The frame was sponged with Vintage Photo Distress ink. A sentiment was stamped into the smaller oval cut out in Burned Noir. The inside was sponged with Antique Linen and part of the rose was stamped over it in the same ink. The frame was adhered to the card with dimensional adhesive, while the sentiment panel was adhered inside the frame with regular adhesive. Pearls and part of Finesse Pearl Swirls finish off the card.

Thanks Beate for sharing your card with us today!!

Here's a look at the With Sympathy Set that Beate used for her card:

And the Shabby Music Background stamp that created the subtle background paper for Beate's Card.

Stop back in tomorrow to see the next amazing JustRite project from Beate!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

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!
