This week's JustRite Friday Challenge #054 is to use this square sketch with your JustRite stamps as inspiration for your project layout:
The rectangle focal element can be any one of our different shaped stamps, or how about challenging yourself to stamp one of our normally round, square or oval shapes onto a rectangle for a change!
Our prize sponsor this week is once again the fabulous Scor-Pal company! You can find some general basics about their fabulous scoring tools HERE and see all the products they carry HERE, including their wonderful Scor-Tape!
TWO Grand Prize challenge winners this week will each receive a Scor-Buddy (the larger Scor-Pal's newest smaller sidekick!) with zippered storage pouch and Mini Self-Healing Cutting Mat ($26.95 combined retail value)!
My Scor-Buddy is always handy, right next to my stamping space, to easily score and create my folded cardstock card bases, and more!
In addition, those two Grand Prize winners will also receive a JustRite $50 Gift Certificate, to use on ANYTHING in our webstore, for a total combined Grand Prize retail valued package each worth $76.95!
THREE Honorable Mention winners will each receive a $25 JustRite Gift Certificate to spend anyway they'd like in our webstore!
For my challenge sample today, I created this sweet seed packet envelope for the front of my 5-1/2" square card created with Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Square Nestabilities, using my Scor-Buddy:
I thought the seed packet envelope could be used to hold a gift card, or be filled with a few goodies -- maybe for teacher appreciation or maybe a Mother's Day card! I attached the envelope to the card front with foam tape at the bottom of the envelope, so the top flap of the envelope can still be opened and get at what's inside!
SNEAK PEEK:
I used our new Butterfly Garden 3-1/4" JustRite Original Ribbed stamp set (begins shipping May 11) with which we will kick off our May Release next Wednesday, May 4th, so we hope you'll check back then to see all the samples our design team will have of this beautiful set!
I stamped the butterfly center onto Neenah Natural White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copic markers. I die cut the image with a circle Nestability and popped it up on foam tape over a rectangle of yellow that I airbrushed with Y21 Copic marker onto the seed packet (I created the seed packet templates and they are available as a free download HERE).
The blue seed packet envelope (which measures approximately 3-1/4” x 4-1/8” closed) was created with my Scor-Buddy using these instructions I made (with pink cardstock):
SEED PACKET ENVELOPE INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut cardstock 5-1/2” x 7”
On 5-1/2” (long) side, score at 7/8” and 5” the full length
Turn 1/4 turn to the right, so 7/8” score is at top of score board
On 7” (wide) side, score at 3/4” and 4” the full length
Score at 1-1/4” and 3-1/2” only to first/top score line
Referring to diagram:
Cut away all four corners to first score lines
Trim second scored area (top tab) diagonally in half
Round bottom flap corners
Here’s what the back side of the envelope looks like folded up and secured with Scor-Tape:
Here's another example (albeit a rectangle card, instead of square), using today's sketch a little in reverse (full card details can be found HERE) and JustRite's Morning Glory from My Garden stamp set, along with JustRite Fonts used to create all the wording on a blank seed packet envelope. Even though the square sketch wasn't followed in this sample, I wanted you to see another way you can think outside the box, by placing a 3-1/4" round stamp onto another (rectangle) shape!
