A Special Thank You to Robin Parker for joining us this week as a guest designer. It was so much fun seeing Robin create bouquets with Amy's Floral Designs. You can follow Robin on her blog Robins Creative Nest to see more of her beautiful projects.
Here is Robin.....
Today I have another 3-D Floral Creation using Sentimental Flowers by JustRite Papercrafts.
I stamped the long leafy floral stamp four times and colored them with Copic markers. I cut them all apart and laid them in a pretty floral arrangement.
The sentiment is from this same set that I stamped onto Classic Ovals. The basket was made with an embossing folder Cane Weave, using Classic Circles and cut in half . The background die is retired and all of these are from Spellbinders Paper Arts.
Next, I used pop dots to lift the flowers and basket to give them the 3-D effect. Finally I added yellow pearls to the centers of flowers, matted with a golden yellow and glued to green cardstock.

Welcome to Day One of the March Release. I am so excited to share with you today a new product category that we have been working on for months behind the scenes at JustRite. With this release we are offering coordinating SVG digital cut file downloads for our stamps sets. This files include cut files for the stamp images that you would normally need to fussy cut they do not include cut files for sentiments or for images that we have a die for. You can find all the SVG digital cut file downloads on this tab of the website. And YES we will be adding new SVG's for existing sets to our website as we finish them.
Each SVG digital cut file download contains 2 cut files. An Exact Cut File (which will give you the closest cut possible for your electronic cutting machine- with minor tweaks for small or tight places). Which will allow those of you who are digitally savy to manipulate the files and create your on size offset. (amount of white space around the stamp image.
Plus an Offset Cut File that will give you a thin white border around your stamp images. The file names will tell you which file is which.
To use an SVG file with your Silhouette Cameo you will need to purchase the Studio Designer Software. In the future we will be adding this software item to our site (we are still in the testing phase) but for now you can purchase this upgraded software directly from Silhouette America here.
Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition is the version of the Silhouette software made especially for designers and papercrafters. The Designer Edition includes more features to help designers import their own artwork as well as create new designs for use with Silhouette products.
Once you have finalized your order you will receive an order confirmation email. Then you will receive a second email titled JustRite Digital Download for Order#. In this email you will find your digital download link. You may download your links three times and your down link stays active for 1 year from purchase date. I recommend downloading your files as soon as you get this email.
Once you have downloaded your files I recommend that you open each file and save it to a specific folder in your computer - I named my folder JustRite Papercraft Digital Downloads so that I could quickly find my files when I need them.
Amy Tedder, our illustrator has written a great tutorial for you over on her blog today for using our SVG's with her Silhouette Cameo. You can find her Cameo tutorial here. Through out the release we will be sharing with you tips for using these files.
