JustRite Inspiration

It's Hip to be Square Design Team Blog Hop

Welcome to our November Release Blog Hop!! I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see what the JustRite Design Team has created with this months release!!

Just a Reminder that we are celebrating our November Release with a sale.

Great Justrite/ Spellbinder's Video Tip: Karen Hunsaker, one of Spellbinder's Design Team Members has a great tip on how to perfectly diecut your JustRite images using Spellbinders Dies. She is such a sweetheart because she has a video tutorial to show you exactly how you can get a perfect cut everytime!! It is a great tip and everyone should watch her You Tube Video. You can view it by clicking here. I have also loaded it on the Video Tutorial Section on our sidebar so that you can reference it at a later date. Thank you Karen for sharing your great tip in video format!! Please be sure to leave Karen a little love when you visit her blog. This was her first Video Tutotrial!! Today on the JustRite blog - I thought that I would share with you some great Christmas Gift Ideas for the super hard to shop for people on your list. The ones that have absolutely everything!!

I started with this gorgeous silver embossed journal which I purchased at Office Max. I fell in love with the copper and silver embossed cover and very cool silver clasp. I decided that it would be the perfect desk accessories to personalize.

I am absolutely in love with the new square borders in the 2" Decorative Monogram Kit, the borders are a variety of widths and are so elegant. To design my project I selected the border from the kit that best coordinated with my journal. I stamped the image with a versamark watermark pad and embossed the image with super fine detail embossing powder from Ranger. I used a copper Krylon leafing pen to edge the stamped image. For my mat I used the Spellbinder's Fleur De Lis Pendant die and die cut it using Foil paper from American Crafts. Then I layered it on black cardstock die cut into a Scalloped Square. Then I accented it with silver metallic pearls from Michael's Recollection Collection.

JB-08345 Decorative 2" Square Monogram Kit This monogram kit includes a 2" Square Wood Stamper, 4 Square Borders, 95pt uppercase Special Occasions font set (36pcs), 50pt uppercase Spec Occ font set (92pcs), and an uppercase 15pt Spec Occ font set (264pcs)-- that's 392 characters! For my next project I altered an address book also from Office Max. Here is the address book before I personalized it. Here is my decorated version:

For this address book I used the JB-08340 Deluxe Monogram Kit- 2" Round This monogram kit includes a 2" Round Stamper, 4 Borders, 95pt uppercase Times New Roman font set (36 pieces),50pt uppercase TNR font set (92 pieces), and an uppercase 15pt TNR font set (264 pieces)-- that's 392 characters!

Then I embellished an 8 1/2" x 11" notepad with a magnetic glasp. The black edge is magnetic.

Our decorative round 2" border was the perfect design for altering this book. I added Fleur de Lis Red cardstock punches (Martha Stewart Punch) and metallic rhinestones. I also added strips of paper to the black edge of the notebook which in it's original state was just plain black. For an additional accent I attached a metal Fleur De Lis Charm on top of the bottom red cardstock fleur de lis. Here is a photo of the gift set. These were quick and inexpensive ---don't they look like a million bucks with the custom embellishments!! Check out what the rest of the team designed: Barb Schram Becca Feeken- is having computer issues- but I linked a great Hip to be Square Project that she designed last week!

Welcome back to my final day here at JustRite – I hope you have enjoyed the week as much as I have!!! My last project is a set of matching cards that incorporates many of the November Releases, which are available NOW!!!! The first card is a Thinking of You card which is made using the new Just A Note Centers and Borders set. I started with a base of Very Vanilla, Pink Bazzill and My Mind’s Eye Whirlybird paper and topped with a layer of more pink and vanilla that has been embossed using the Moroccan Screen embossing folder. I stamped the centre and border in Old Olive and Regal Rose and cut it out with Large Circle Nestabilites and matted it with pink cut with the Label 5 Nestabilities. I finished off with some Kaisercraft Rose Pearls and some green May Arts Ribbon.

Supplies For Thinking of You Card Stamps – Just A Note Centers and Borders Paper – Very Vanilla, Dark Pink Bazzill, My Mind’s Eye Whirlybird DSP Ink – Old Olive, Regal Rose Accessories – Moroccan Screen EF, Label 5 and Large Circle Nestabilities, Kaisercraft Rose Pearls, May Arts Green Ribbon, Foam Tape.

The second card – a Birthday Card – has also been made using the Just A Note Centers and Borders set and is this time framed with the new 2” Round Decorative Frame Borders. Once again I used the pink bazzill and layered with Vanilla embossed with Moroccan Screen as a base. I took another piece of MME Whirlybird and matted it with pink bazzill that had been punched on both sides with the Martha Stewart Arch Lattice punch. Around this I attached some ivory satin ribbon and a bow made with the Bow Easy. The main panel has been stamped in Tempting Turquoise and Regal Rose using the Just A Note Center and the border from the 2” Round Decorative Frame Border Set. It was then cut out with the Large Circle Nestabilities and popped up on light and dark pink panels cut with the Blossom Nestabilities set and embellished with a couple of Rose Pearls.

The last card – a Thank You Card – has been made using the new Square Decorative Frame Borders and the Just A Note set. The base is Very Vanilla, light pink bazzill, dark pink bazzill and then some more paper from MME Whirlybird range. The next panel is more Whirlybird paper cut with the Mega Curved Rectangle Nestabilities. The sentiment is made of the Just A Note (centre) stamped in Old Olive and the Square Decorative Frame Borders (Border) in Regal Rose. Originally I was going to cut it out with the square nestabilites until I saw how perfectly it fit inside the Label 1 Nestabilities!! Then I was delighted to discover that the Fancy Tags die cut fit perfectly under that!!! I added some thin ivory satin ribbon through the tag and popped the sentiment panel up on foam tape and finished by adding Kaisercraft Blush Pearls to the corners and each side of the tag.

Day 4 with Kathy Jones - Sprinkled with Love

First I would like to answer a few questions from yesterday's post. Kathy lives in Australia and in Australia hardware stores carry Kaiser Kraft Products. Many of you thought this would be a great idea -since all our Hubby's wouldn't mind a trip to the hardware store right? Also in Aussie lingo a basket is called a hamper. You can begin shopping for the November Release tomorrow -- be sure to stop in tomorrow because we have a big announcement you won't want to miss!! Do you have a little princess on your Christmas List?? Kathy has designed the sweetest Fairy ensemble for her daughter today, it would be such a fun gift for any little girl on your list.

Hello everyone and welcome to Day 4 of my Guest Blogging week! Today’s project is a fun one for the little girl in your life!!

My daughter is 2yrs old and loves pink, yellow and all things fairy related!! I had this paper mache wand just begging to be decorated so I coated it with yellow paint and waited for it to dry. I stamped the sentiment using the Celebrations Demi Phrases and the Font set from the 2” Font and Center Set. The beautiful heart image is from the Favorite Occasions Borders and Centers Set. I stamped it all in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured the heart in markers and a blender pen. It was cut out using the Large Circle Spellbinders and matted with pink cut using the Small Circle Spellbinders. I glued it to the wand, added some pink Kaisercraft Rhinestones to each point and some pink ribbons to the handle of the wand. Because all girls like to put their treasures in boxes I made a matching 2-5-7-10 box (found at SCS - http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/2_5_7_10_box/ ) using yellow card for the base and some My Mind’s Eye Abbey Road paper to decorate the front. Once again I use the 2” Font and Center Set to make the sentiment in the Favorite Occasions Borders and Centers Set for the heart and coloured it to match. My daughter loves a show called ‘The Fairies’ where everything is ‘Fanfairytastic’ so it seemed the perfect sentiment to add!! Stamps – Celebrations Demi Phrases, 2” Font and Center Set, Favorite Occasions Borders and Centers. Paper – Yellow, White, My Mind’s Eye Abbey Road DP Ink – Memento Tuxedo Black Accessories – Paper Mache Wand, Large, Large Scallop and Small Circle Nestabilities, Pink Kaisercraft Rhinestones, Markers, Blender Pen, Scor Pal, Grosgrain Ribbon, 1/8 circle punch, double sided tape, Fiskars Border Punch. I can’t believe the week is almost over and I hope you stop by tomorrow for one last project for the week! Hugs Kathy J

Coffee Lover's Hamper- Day 3 Kathy Jones

Today Kathy has a great Holiday Gift Idea using our Just A Little Caffeine Stamp Set. and a great Aussie Recipe for you to try.

Hello and welcome back to my next project for the week! Today’s project is for all the coffee lovers out there. I actually have a confession to make --- I don’t drink coffee at all!

I am however; married to a coffee addict and know many people who love it as well, so I decided to make a coffee hamper featuring some coasters! I bought theses round chipboard shapes made by Kaisercraft at my local hardware store of all places and painted them in Antique White paint.

Then I stamped four of the centers and borders from Just A Little Caffeine Set in chocolate ink and lightly coloured parts of them and cut them out using the Large Circle Spellbinders set. I then cut out some chocolate scallop circles to mat them with and glued them to the coasters. I used some spray varnish to seal and protect each coaster, giving each a couple of coats. To finish the hamper I added a bit of calico, some Gloria Jeans coffee, a one cup plunger and some Anzac Biscuits (Cookies in Australia are called Biscuits) tied with some brown satin ribbon. Recipe for ANZAC Biscuits Ingredients – 1 cup plain flour 1 cup rolled oats ¾ cup coconut ¾ cup sugar 140g butter (4.9oz) 3 teaspoons Golden Syrup (made from cane sugar has a smooth buttery flavour compared to Maple Syrup) 3 tablespoons boiling water 1 teaspoon baking soda Method – Sift flour into a bowl. Add rolled oats, coconut and sugar. Melt butter in saucepan, add syrup and water. Add baking soda, allow to foam and pour immediately into dry ingredients. Mix well then take small pieces of mixture and press out thinly on greased trays, allowing space for each to spread. Bake in a slow oven as they burn easily. (note – these are a firm, chewy biscuit/cookie) Stamps – Just A Little Caffeine Paper – Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip Ink – Chocolate Chip Accessories – Kaisercraft Circle Coasters, Large Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Markers, Blender Pen, Spray Varnish, Glue. Hope you enjoyed today’s project and pop by tomorrow for something for the little girls in your life!! Hugs Kathy J

JustRite Purse- Day 2 - Kathy Jones

Today - Kathy has a great gift idea to share.

Today’s project is a handbag shaped gift or storage box. The handbag is a wooden kit from Kaisercraft and comes as bare chipboard. I took each piece and painted it with Antique White paint a couple of times for good coverage and waited for it to dry. I then cut out the paper for the front from Kaisercraft’s Vagabond paper range to cover the front. Across the bottom I added a strip of cream card that had been punched on one side with the Fiskars Upper Crest Border Punch and adhered some sage ribbon over the top. Using the Bow Easy I made a matching petite bow to add to the side. On the handle I tied some cream satin ribbon and added a green prima flower with a Blush Pearl. Underneath the flower are some chocolate flourishes cut using Doodle Parts Spellbinders set.

The Monogram centre has been stamped using the 1 3/16 Damask Border and Font Set, coloured with markers (chocolate chip, sage shadow) and cut using the Large Circle Spellbinders set. The monogram has been popped up on a Label 4 die cut that has been embellished more Blush Pearls. Stamps – 1 3/16 Small Damask Border and Font Set Paper – Cream Bazzill, Chocolate Chip, Kaisercraft Vagabond DP Ink – Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow Accessories – Doodle Parts Spellbinders, Large Circle Spellbinders, Label 4 Spellbinders, Prima Flower, Kaisercraft Blush Pearls, Fiskars Upper Crest Border Punch, Sage Satin Ribbon, Cream Satin Ribbon, Bow Easy. Hope you enjoyed today’s project and pop back tomorrow for a simple project for the coffee lovers out there!! Hugs Kathy J

Christmas Card- Day One with Kathy Jones

This week Kathy Jones our JustRite Design Team Member from Australia is joining us as our guest blogger. You will want to pop on over today to Kathy's personal blog -Inspired to Stamp because she has been playing with her new stamp sets from the November Release that just arrive Down Under late last week. She has two terrific projects there. Today Kathy will show you just how versatile our stamps are as she used components from 3 different stamps sets to create todays gorgeous card.

Hello Everyone! I am so looking forward to a fun week here at JustRite with all sorts of projects to show you!!

Today’s project is a Christmas Card! It’s that time of the year and I’ve just realised how close Christmas is, so it’s time I got busy with cards or I’ll be making them at the last minute! I couldn’t decide which of the beautiful Christmas Sets to choose from, so I ended up using THREE! LOL!! I started with a deep pink bazzill base and layered with Gold, Very Vanilla and some Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses DSP. Next I took a piece of Vanilla, punched both sides with the Fiskars Lace Border Punch and embossed it with Swiss Dots embossing folder. Across the bottom I’ve knotted some gold ribbon that I’ve had in my stash since last Christmas! The sentiment is from the Christmas Joy Set and I’ve stamped only ‘Blessings’ in black on Vanilla and then cut it out using the Fancy Tags Spellbinders Set and lightly sponged the centre with Rose Red and popped the panel up on the ribbon.

The main image is a combination of Christmas Treasures (centre)

and Old Fashioned Christmas (Border), which I’ve stamped in Versamark on Vanilla twice and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut both with Large Circle Nestabilities and popped the centre panel up on foam tape and matted the whole piece with more deep pink bazzill cut using the Large Scalloped Circle Nestabilities. To finish I added some Kaisercraft Blush Pearls to the top corner and each side of the sentiment.

Stamps – Christmas Treasures, Old Fashioned Christmas, Christmas Joy Paper – Deep Pink Bazzill, Very Vanilla, Gold, Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses DSP Ink – Versamark, Black Accessories – Fancy Tags, Large Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, Fiskars Lace Border Punch, Gold Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Gold Ribbon, Foam Tape, Kaisercraft Blush Pearls. I hope you enjoyed today’s project and stop by tomorrow for another project!! Kathy J
