JustRite Pop Rocking Halloween!!

Pop Rocks are back!! I am sure that everyone remembers pop rocks from your childhood. They were intoduced to the market in 1956 and sales of the product plunged in 1979 (when most of us were kids) because of a myth that if you ate Pop Rocks and drank lots of soda you would die when your stomach burst from all the gas. This was purely a myth and now your kids can experience that strange sensation of Pop Rocks exploding in their mouths. Here is a fun and easy way to Jazz up your Pop Rock Treats. Angela Barkhouse was inspired by Beate's Pocket Card Tutorial to create this fun Pop Rock Pocket Holder. To create your pocket cut Halloween Word Pattern Paper (from Making Memories) 4 ¼” x 11”. Score at 5 ½” and 1 ¼”. Corner round all four corners of paper. Fold at the 5 1/2" score line.(Halloween words should be inside the pocket. ) Now fold down the 1 1/4" tab toward you and adhere the front of pocket to the back of pocket. Adhere ribbon to the tab (created by 1 1/4" fold). Now cut a 3 3/8" x 3 1/2" piece Halloween Dot paper from Making Memories and adhere to the front of the pocket tucking the print behind the folded tab. Adhere the tab in place. Using the small letter set, snap the JB o7275 6 pt small letters in the outer ring of your JB 08310 Monogram Stamper. Design the message " Have A Pop Rockin’ Halloween ". Stamp on pale orange cardstock. Die cut using the Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles. Chalk edges with orange chalk. Die cut a slightly large black cardstock scallop using Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circle. Stamp pumpkin on orange cardstock. Punch out using 1 ¼” circle punch. Ink edge with black ink. Assemble embellishments as shown in photo.To create the tag pull Angela used the Cricuit Cartridge - Tags, Bags Boxes. She cut out a circle tag from orange cardstock and a slightly smaller circle tag from the Halloween Dot Paper. (this cuts two circles that are still connected). Place the Pop Rocks Packet between the circles and attach using a nail head. HAVE A POP ROCKING HALLOWEEN!!

Supplies:

JustRite Stampers: JB 08310 Monogram Stamper, JB 07275 Small letter set

Paper : Making Memories - Halloween Word Paper, Halloween Dot Paper, pale orange, orange and black cardstock

Halloween Take Out Box

Still need a special treat for your favorite spook. Here is a spooky Take Out Treat. The project was inspired by the Orange Coffin box we found at Michael's. When you open it, it has great sound effects - of a creaking coffin complete with ghoulish sounds and it is full of bone shaped candies. Just perfect for the boys on your list. We filled the container with candy fingers and marshmallow treats. We purchased the take out box at Michael's as well and added ribbon trim to the top and the bottom of the container.

To design the embellishments for this side of the box Angela used the 25 point Brayton Font Ensemble to design the designer center of the Harmony Classic I Stamper. The border is from the 10 Designer Centers and Border Ensemble. For a spooky accent we added movable eyes to the border. The image was then mated with multiply cardstock layers using Spellbinders Petite Circles and Scalloped Circles. Here is a closeup of the embellishment.

Here is the view of the backside of the treat box:

To design this side of the box Angela used the small letter set to create her verbiage "Caution Skeleton Crossing" on the outer ring of the Harmony Classic Circle I stamper 1 5/8" using the 6 point small letter set.Die Cut these using the Spellbinders Standard Petite Circle, Small #3 Nestabilities.

Using the “Boo To You” Cuttlebug embossing folder, emboss on white cardstock and use a 1 ¼” circle punch to punch out the skeleton. Add wiggle eyes and chalk the edges with yellow chalk, then use purple ink to ink edges. Die Cut black and Orange Cardstock scallop using Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles.

C-R-E-E-P-Y Cupcake Box

If you love making cupcakes - You will love this AccuCut Box Cupcake (3-D) Die. It is so versatile. Cupcake boxes can be made for every holiday or occasion. Today Angela Barkhouse is sharing her C-R-E-E-P-Y Cupcake Box.

For this box, Angela die cut the cupcake box using MM Spellbound Halloween paper. (If your designer paper is lightweight - die cut 2 boxes and adhere them to each other. ). This AccuCut : Box Cupcake (3-D) one size Crease was die cut using the GrandeMARKE Roller Die Cutting System. The die has 4 components to it. (Cupcake box bottom, an insert that holds the cupcakes in place inside the box, an acetate window for the box lid and the lid). For the Cupcake box lid cut two, place the acetate window between the two layers and adhere. To create the C-R-E-E-P-Y sentiment for the box top, Angela used the Harmony Classic Circle II Ensemble (JB-08120) block and one of the designer borders from this set with 50 pt Brayton Font Ensemble (JB-08100) to spell C-R-E-E-P-Y. She stamped it on yellow cardstock then diecut it using Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities. The purple mat was die cut out of fun foam using Spellbinders Scalloped Circle Nestabilities. Fun foam adds extra dimension to the project.

To create the embellishment for the side of the cupcake box, Angela designed her sentiment using the 1 5/8” Harmony Classic Circle I wood block (JB-08115) and the small 6 pt letter set (JB-07275). She custom designed the outer ring of the block with the phrase “OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE”. To design the center of the embellishment Angela used her leftover scraps of her cupcake box paper and die cut the center of a spider web. Then she placed the cute spider sticker on the web. The mat is diecut out of black fun foam using Spellbinders Scalloped Nestabilities.

For the back side of her cupcake box, Angela used the small harmony rectangular block (JB-08110) and spelled “EEEEEK” using the 50 pt & 25 pt Brayton Font Ensemble (JB-08100). This is diecut using the Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangles Nestabilities and once again used purple fun foam to mat. Of course, this saying needed to have a cute little spider sitting next to it. Last step, she added some Happy Halloween ribbon around the top of the box and then it is complete. Just add a YUMMY CUPCAKE!!!!!!

Supplies:

JustRite Stampers: JB 08110 Harmony Rectangular Stamper, JB 08100 Brayton Font Ensemble, JB 08115 Harmony Classic Circle I Stamp Ensemble, JB 07275 Small Letter Set (6 point).

It's all about the Candy Corn Treat Wrap

It's hard to believe that Halloween is Friday. This week the JustRite Blog will be featuring a full week of Halloween ideas. Today we are sharing this fun Trick or Treat Wrap bag designed by Kellie Fortin.

This is a really easy project to make with the whole family. First die cut the treat bag with AccuCut's Bag Treat Wrap (3-D) Crease Extra Long Cut Die. This die from AccuCut cuts and creases your project. Fold on crease lines. Add Orange and White Polka Dot Ribbon from Creative Impressions. Fill a poly treat bag with candy corn. Place inside the treat wrap to determine how much corn needs to be placed in your poly treat bag. Make any necessary adjustments. Fold over the top of the poly bag and staple twice to secure candy corn in the bag. Next place the corn in the bag treat wrap, ensure that it will indeed stand and staple the poly bag to the front of the treat wrap bag. Ensure that the flap from the backside of the wrap will cover your staples. Next place adhesive on the tab on the backside of the wrap and adhere to the front of the wrap. You have now assembled your bag treat wrap.

To decorate you bag treat wrap – choose a designer border from the 10 Designer Border and Centers Kit. Snap the border into your Harmony Classic Circle Stamper I. Next using Curlz 25 pt font (from Curlz Font Kit) design your desired message. Ink the image using Versamagic Tea Leaves ink and stamp on white cardstock. Die cut with a Marvy Circle Punch. Set aside. Next punch an orange piece of cardstock using the Marvy Scallop Circle Clever Lever Giga Craft Punch. Then using a Marvy Scalloped Circle Clever Lever Super Jumbo Punch die cut a yellow scallop. Dry emboss both die cuts using the Swiss Dot A2 Cuttlebug embossing folder.

To make your scalloped circles into flowers simply use scissors to cut between each scallop. Cut just far enough into the circle to make petals. Next fluff the petals of the flower and gently rub the edges of the flower with VersaMagic Red Magic Ink to highlight the edges of the flower petals. Now assemble your embellishment as shown in the picture above. Add 2 candy corn stickers to the center of your image.

To design your tag “It’s all about the candy corn”. Use the smallest harmony rectangular stamper and design your verse using the 25 pt Curlz font. Ink your stamp with Tea Leaves VersaMagic and stamp. Use the appropriate tag from the Spellbinders Double Ended Tag Trios and die cut the phrase. Mat with a scrap or orange cardstock that has been dry embossed using the A2 Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder. Add brads or Rhinestone accents.

I love the new Rectangular Stamper Set, it's perfect for adding your own sentiments to your projects, or personalizing projects like I've done here!

I picked up the wood plaque at my Michaels store, painted it with Gesso and let it dry. I then used my Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber in Denim to add color, and let it dry. Before I stamped my image for my project, I placed my Times New Roman Font - size 25 onto my Harmony Rectangular Stamper Set. Then I inked it with Riding Hood Red using my Stamp-a-ma-jig, I stamped it on my image sheet so that I could use it for proper placement later in my project. I stamped my image (Artistic Outpost - Route 66 Plate) in Black on vanilla card stock, let dry. I inked the sentiment I created earlier in Riding Hood Red, and using my Stamp-a-ma-Jig,

stamped it onto my card stock as shown.

Using my Distress Inks, Craft Sheet and Blending Tool, I applied the Straw ink, completely covering my project, then used the Corduroy around the edge, and finished with Black Soot. I adhered my image to a piece of Riding Hood Red card stock, then to my plaque using Tombow Multi Glue.

Once dry, I've created a great door plaque - perfect for gift giving! Supplies: JustRite Stamps - Times New Roman Font Set, Harmony Rectangular Stamper Set,

You may vote for your favorite project in the pre-inked stamping contest by clicking here. Voting will be open until 8 pm EST Thursday Oct 23rd. Vote by leaving a comment on each post. The Grand prize winners will be announce on Friday. Welcome to day 3 with Lisa Somerville. Today Lisa share's with us a great economical notecard set that you can make using the Luxe (c30 stamper) in a matter of minutes.

Dollar finds make great gift sets! While searching through the dollar section at Michaels, I stumbled across some great 3" x 3" cards that also had matching A2 sized cards. For my project today I incorporated both of these items into a great Monogram Gift Set, using my C30 Stamper. (Luxe Stamper) Because my cards were already made, the only thing I had to do was stamp my monogram, punch them out and adhere to my cards. I inked one side of my Stamp Pad with Chocolate Chip ink, inserted my letter of choice and Damask border and stamped my letters on Baja Breeze card stock, punched them out with the 1-1/4" circle punch, and layered them on a 1-3/8" Chocolate Chip punched circle, then onto my 3" x 3" cards. The C30 Monogram Stamper works perfectly with these circle punches, and makes personalizing gift sets a breeze! The card you see on the front of my box was cut from the A2 card, and layered onto my box, before I assembled it. I also punched the holes for my Shaker Book Knob before assembling (trust me, it's easier to do that before you sticky strip your box).

Here is a view to show you visually the difference in size between the c30- Luxe Stamper and the c-45 Monogram Stamper. The C30 is perfect for small notecards, table place cards for special events and smaller projects.

I cut my Ski Slope DSP to fit my blocks, then stamped my letters with my Pre-Inked Uppercase Typewriter Letters, these pre-inked letters made stamping a breeze - I just centered them on my cut paper and pressed down. I edged my papers with brown ink and a sponge dauber and used Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue to attach my patterned paper to my wood blocks, sanding where needed once dry. I tied on various ribbons and used glue dots to attach some Making Memories Charms, Poinsettia's, and Felt Flurries (with Rhinestone centers) to my ribbons.
