Welcome to day four of the JustRite Papercraft Release. Today we are introducing 2 sets - a fun and whimiscal Christmas set -Christmas Handwritten Sentiments Clear Stamps and a stunning background stamp.
Darsie Bruno created a gorgeous Christmas Gift box which she decorated using our Ornamental Background Cling Stamps. To adorn the top of the box, Darsie stamped a tag using a sentiment from ourChristmas Handwritten Sentiments Clear Stamps and then decorated the box with Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Dies, Holly Sprigs Dies, Foliage Flourish Dies and Heirloom Oval Dies.
Great Joy Clear Stamps is a 4" x 6" clear stamp set designed by Amy Tedder with 11 images including a beautiful angel. Plus we have a coordinating SVG.
Grand Elegance Cling Background Stamp is a beautiful background stamp that you can use for any occasion. It is a perfect background for any of our Grand Sentiment sets.
Marisa Job designed this stunning card using our Great Joy Clear Stamps, Spellbinders Floral Assortment paired with some gorgeous Craft Dies by Sue Wilson: Festive Collection - Classic Poinsettia, Festive Collection - Mosaic Poinsettia, Festive Collection - Holly Accessory Kit.
Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday, today Heidi Blankenship shares how to use the MISTI Stamping Tool with our clear stamps and our cling stamps. This tool is perfect for using with our multi-step stamps.
To use MISTI with cling stamps remove the black foam piece.
You can use the tool facing you or turned to the side--whichever works best for you. In the video I turned it to the side so it would fit better on my desk for the video.
For the first card I am using the CR-02187 Multi-Step Lilac Bouquet stamp set. Open the MISTI and place your cardstock in the corner. *This is important to make sure your paper is always lined up in the corner. Place the clear stamp on your paper where you would like to stamp it. Close the lid on the MISTI and the stamp will cling to the lid. (I recommend pushing on the lid to make sure the entire stamp has adhered to the plastic grid).
Open the lid and apply ink to the stamp and close the lid and press on it.
Remove the stamp and clean the stamp and any ink that may have gotten on the grid. Line up the second lilac stamp on top of the stamped image. (as seen in the video). Close the lid on the MISTI so the stamp will cling to it. Ink the stamp and close the lid for perfect placement stamping.
Remove the stamp. Line up the second lilac stamp on top of the stamped image. Close the lid on the MISTI so the stamp will cling to it. Ink the stamp and close the lid for perfect placement stamping.
See how beautifully aligned that stamps are....
I just keep repeating the process with the multi-stamps as I build up the layers to the images. Remove the stamp.
Here is a closeup of my card in progress.
The key to getting perfect placement with the MISTI tool is to always make sure your cardstock is lined up in the corner. Also, if you like to make multiple cards with the same design just leave the stamps in place and stamp as many times as needed and then move on to the next stamp. You will be able to create a stack of cards in no time!
Here you can see some of the glittery areas of my butterfly and lilacs.
Next I want to show you how easy it is to use our JustRite Background Cling Stamps with the Misti. Simply remove the black foam from the Misti. I placed the background stamp face down inside of the MISTI tool.
Close the lid and press down so the stamp will cling on the inside. Open the MISTI and place a piece of paper inside. Ink up the background stamp and close the lid.

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday, JustRite Papercraft designer, Darsie Bruno, shows us how to create a xool pop up box using Spellbinders Scalloped Pop Up Box Dies (Now available in the JustRite Store) with our Stitched Flowers Vintage Tag Clear Stamp Set. These boxes, once made, fold up flat and are easy to mail to your favorite someone. It’s fun to make these boxes with all kinds of themes like graduation, baby, wedding, holiday and more using ours stamps sets and background stamps.
To see how easy it is to create a pop up box watch this 6 minute video.
This is the new April Spellinders Release die -Scalloped Pop Up Box Dies that Darsie used to create her pop up box.
To assemble the pop up box, cut four from the Box Wall Die and two from the Bar Die. Adhere all four Box Wall die cuts, make sure the tabs are adhered on the inside for a finished look. Then place adhesive on the scored tabs of the Bar die cut and adhere to the inside of Box Wall towards the back half and the second Bar die cut to the front half. Decorate the box edges with either Edge 1 or Edge 2 die cuts. Add elements to the Bar area and square flaps for desired look. Assembled box measures approximately 7½w x 5h x 5d”.
Here's a peek into the box so you can see how Darsie arranged the flowers.
and another view into the pop up box.
Here you can see the flattened version of the box for mailing.... Wouldn't you love to receive a Pop Up Box in the mail?
Once you get started making these boxes you won't be able to stop. Here Darsie shares a sweet Graduation Box using Samantha Walker's Owl Be There Clear Stamps paired with our "Congrats You Did It" phrase from our Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps.

Now onto today's tutorial, If you are reading this post from a feedburner email you can see Heidi's Blog Video by clicking here. Today's tutorial is just 8 minutes long and it will certainly inspire you to get out your masculine stamps to design cards for all the men in your family.
I used Spectrum Noir Markers DR4 and DR6 to color on the frame. First I applied DR4 and then for the shaded areas I used DR6 and went back over with DR4 to blend the colors.
After all of the coloring was done I fussy cut the frame and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Next I stamped the airplane image from the CL-03740 Going Places Vintage Labels Cling Stamps on to white cardstock using Rich Cocoa ink. Next I used Spectrum Noir markers DR4, DR6, and EB3 to color the image. I used DR6 to do the shading on the airplane and then I blended the colors using DR4. I used EB3 to outline the image. Then I used JustRite Dies JB-03730 Vintage Labels & Banners Dies to die cut the label shape. After die cutting the label I left the paper inside the die and inked the inside edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
To assemble the card I used a brown base with a layer of red and then the stamped frame image. I added 3D Foam Squares to the label and to embellish the card I added a metal tag with some twine. Here is a close up of my card with the metal tag.
For the second card I used CR-02166 Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps to do the chalkboard technique. I used the Spellbinders GLD-016 Baby Buntings to cut the black banner shape.
Next I stamped the first sentiment from the Stacking Sentiments Clear Stamps with white pigment ink (since pigment ink stays wet and I wanted a stronger white for this technique) I then used white embossing powder and a heat tool to heat set the embossing. Tip: before you apply hit flick your paper to get off any of the excess embossing powder. Be careful with the heat tool--they get very hot! Stamp the second stamp directly below the first one and emboss with the white embossing powder. Since the stamps are clear it is very easy to line up. Now it's time to create the chalkboard look.
I used a cotton ball and a dab it in the white pigment ink. Then gently rub some of the ink on to the black paper. To add some doodling along the edge of the die cut I used a Prismacolor Colored Pencil White.
Here is a close up of my card. To assemble the card I used a kraft base with a layer of aqua and another layer of kraft. I used Spellbinders GLD-016 Baby Buntings to create the largest die cut in Aqua. For a simple embellishment I added some twine and then placed the chalkboard banner on top.

I stamped the image of the card with Rich Cocoa ink on to white paper.
I used Spectrum Noir™ Markers DG1, DG2, DG3 to color the banner area above the car. I used one of the dies from the JustRite Dies JB-03730 Vintage Labels & Banners Dies to die cut the label shape. Next ink the edges of the die cut with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
To assemble the card I had green for a base and then a layer of brown. I used Spellbinders S5-127 Labels Twenty-Eight to die cut the burlap. I added 3D Foam Squares to the back f the label and then I also added hot glue to secure the paper to the burlap.
For embellishments I added some metal gears and twine.

Start coloring the background stamp with the Distress Markers. I started with Tumbled Glass and then Peacock Feathers. Next I added Broken China and finished with Faded Jeans. Once the entire stamp is colored lightly mist with water. Mist a piece of watercolor paper and place on top of the background stamp.
Tip: Be sure to use the smooth side of the watercolor paper when stamping.
Mist the stamp and watercolor paper again. Stamp and see the second result.Now mist the stamp and watercolor paper for a third time and stamp again. I just loved all three results!
I used the first generation stamped image to create this card.
These are the additional supplies I used to create the card using the first generation of the inked background stamp.
Paper: Cardstock-White, Lt. Aqua Ink: Distress Ink-Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans (dragonfly wings) Dies:Tonic Studios637e INDULGENCE KEEPSAKE FRAMES - DRAGONFLY DELIGHT Ribbon: May Arts Aqua Silk Ribbon Accessories: White Pearl, Zig Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush, 3D Foam Squares
