JustRite Inspiration

Happy New Year!

 

January and the New Year are almost here!  We just wanted to remind you about this great little stamp in our A Merry Little Christmas Set that says "Happy New Year".  It's perfect for a card, party invitation, scrapbook page or even a January calendar! 

 

The calendar grid and numbers were computer-generated and "January" is a stamp from JustRite's Calendar Set!  After stamping the New Year center and scalloped border in Pitch Black on gray paper, Spellbinders' Petite Scalloped Circle Nestabilities Small #2 die was a perfect compliment to die cut with.  Then the gray scalloped piece was placed on a black die cut circle.  The embellishment was accented with a Zva crystal and popped up on foam tape.

 

Another seasonal set that contains a Happy New Year wish is Christmas Joy Borders & Centers.  Click on over to JustRite design team member, Debbie Olson's blog, to see the beautiful holiday card (above) she created with this sentiment.

Wishing each of you a wonderful New Year's Eve and Day!  Don't forget you can begin preordering Romantic Sentiments & Loving Thoughts NOW and they will begin shipping on Monday, January 4!

Merry Christmas from JustRite Stampers

 
Wishing you and your families the happiest of holidays!!  One of our readers sent this Crafters Christmas Poem to me today (thanks Diane!!) and I just couldn't resist sharing it with you tonight on the JustRite Blog!

Twas the night before Christmas,
I’m glued to the tree.
I’m wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or ink pads or lace?
Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that’s when I heard him ... “Hi Santa” I said
He replied, “You know ... good girls should be in their beds”.
“I know I should Santa and now I’ve been caught.
But I was just so excited to see what you brought”
“Well, let’s take a look in this room where you work”.
He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear.
“You’ve got enough crap, I’ll see you next year!

Here's hoping that Santa doesn't see your craft rooms and that tomorrow he brings you lots of  GREAT NEW TOYS!!  

Merry Christmas from the JustRite Team!!

Introducing JustRite Romantic Sentiments

Thanks for stopping by our new home! We are so excited about our move from Blogger to Typepad.  We have moved our blog here so that you will be able to easily access our best content without having to surf through hundreds of past posts looking for some of your favorite posts. We are still in the middle of our move and as you will see as you browse through our new home we haven't had time to unpack all our boxes yet!

If you aren't familiar with a Typepad blog - here is a quick tour of the new features we have here on Typepad.  We now have the ability to set up individual web pages where you can easily find information.  At the top of the blog you will find new buttons.  Just click on the button that interests you and you will be brought to a separate web page where we will store our best content without cluttering up our home page's sidebar. Currently most of our tab buttons are just saving pages that we will be working on over the next month. But we have uploaded the new Die/Punch Compatibility Chart to it's own page on the blog and we will be adding lots of additional die information here in the very near future.  Thanks to everyone who left us a comment on how much you love the new compatibility chart!  This is just a little sneak peek of some of the great things we have planned for the next year.  In 2010 we want to help you get the most out of all your tools.

Today we are introducing our first new stamp set for 2010.  This set is our first centers only set and it has been designed so that you can use it with all your 1 5/8" borders as well as your new 2" Decorative Frame Borders. This new set is 9 Designer Centers for $14.95.
 

Combine this new stamp set with your 2" Round Decorative Borders to create these exquisite combinations. These sentiments can be used for weddings, anniversaries or any special occasion when you need to tell that special someone what they mean to you.

Our Design team will be uploading projects throughout the next two weeks using this new set.  Tonight Kathy Jones (our Aussie gal) has a beautiful card using this set on her blog using the Wishing Two People a Wonderful Life with out 2" Rd Decorative Borders.

Michelle Wooderson has a beautiful card using the Live, Love, Laugh center with her Just A Note Set.

Stop back in on Monday to see our next release set.  We would love to hear what you think about our new home!!

JustRite Punch & Die Compatibility Chart Now on JustRite Website

You may have noticed the JustRite Blog has been a little quiet over that last two weeks. Don't worry, it just means we have been very busy behind the scenes working on the 2010 Catalog for our January & February Releases. We will be releasing 2 groups of stamps in January and another group of stamps on Feb 7th. The sneak peeks for the 2 new stamps sets being release on January 1st will begin this Friday evening ( Dec 18th). We can't wait to show you the new sets!! One of the things we have been working on for our catalog is a Punch & Die Compatibility Chart . It's the #1 question we get at JustRite- "What dies or punches do I need to die cut my JustRite stamped images." Finally we have a more comprehensive answer. We are so excited about the chart that we have already uploaded it to the tip section of the JustRite Website. Sorry that the chart is so small here on the blog, don't fret you can find a printable version on the tip section of our website. We are sure that you will love the information contained in this chart.

When referring to Spellbinders Dies on the chart- we began counting the dies from the center, giving each die a number to use in our reference guide.

The second most frequently asked question is which size Nestabilitie set do I need to purchase the large or small set of Nestabilities? When you review the chart you will see that our design team actually uses both sets depending on which stamper they are using and how much of a border they want around the stamped image. When you combine the the Spellbinders LARGE Nestabilitie set with the Spellbinders SMALL Nestabilities sets you can create mat layers with 1/8” increments.

We loved to hear what you think of our new chart. Next on the to do list is a chart for all the scalloped shapes.

Keep us in mind....."When it needs to be JustRite".
