Introducing Birthday Celebrations

For those of you attendng CHA, be sure to stop by the Spellbinders booth on Monday, Jan 31st from 1:30 to 3:30 for a JustRite Make & Take with Kellie Fortin.  Kellie will be doing a Make & Take with JustRite cling stamps that coordinate with Spellbinders CHA release dies!  For Winter CHA we do not have a booth, but Kellie will be attending the show and would be happy to make appointments with any store owners who would like to place orders.  You can reach her here to set up a private appointment.

You can never have enough birthday cards, right!  So today's introduction takes your  favorite 3 1/4" stamp and gives it a new fresh configuration -- wide borders with 2" centers, which now means you can mix and match any of your 2" round sets with these fun borders!

These JustRite designers have samples with this set to share today.  You will find full details of their projects on their individual blogs, by clicking on their hyperlinked names:

Kazan Clark designed this stunning birthday card, using one of Spellbinders new Winter releases, Heart Circles die template -- it compliments our 3-1/4" round stamps perfectly!

Introducing JustRite Original Birdhouses & Retirement Sale Announcement

It's hard to believe that CHA is less than 5 days away !!  Our warehouse is starting to bulge as our 2011 stock arrives.  Therefore it's time for a little Spring Cleaning with a Retirement Sale!! Save up to 30% off some of our favorite stamps.  That's right we are retiring 28 sets of stamps in order to bring you more stamps in the sizes you love more often.  Some of these sets were just heartbreaking to retire.  Supplies for many of these stamps are very limited -- some will sell out in the first 3 days of our sale. If you have any of these on your JustRite wishlist shop early before they are gone forever!!

We will try our best to remove sets from the Retirement sale section of the website as they sell out.

As the tempature dips below zero in Maine (-30 below with the wind chill factor) , I am so happy to introduce a Gorgeous New Spring Set from our Febuarary Release ( this set is in stock and shipping).  Just looking at all these cheerful cards made it feel like Spring at least in my studio!!  Here is my card for the release....
