Here is a screen shot of the cut files after I ungrouped the images, selected the ones I wanted and copied and paste several times to fill in the paper.
Here are instruction on how to fill your page with multiple images on your page in your Cameo:
Move the mouse on top of the image, right click and then click UNGROUP in the drop down menu. This will create a box around each image. Then drag and drop all of the images you want to keep to one side. Click and drag the mouse to create a box over the remaining images. Right click and then click on CUT in the drop down menu to remove the images. Drag the mouse over the images you want to use creating a box around them. Next right click to COPY all images at once and right click again to PASTE. Do this as many times as you would like. Then drop and drag images to fill up the paper space. Once you have this done then you can cut multiple images at one time.
For the background stamps I used CL-02027 Burlap Cling Background Stamp, CL-02127 Crackle Cling Background Stamp, CL-04430 Floral Florishes Cling Background Stamp. To stamp all of the background images I used Memento Espresso Truffle ink.
I used an old cut mat from my Silhouette Cameo to place all the cut outs on. The old mats are perfect for this--just sticky enough to hold the paper in place while stamping and misting. When I am done I rinse it off and let it air dry.
I am using three different background stamps so I have three groups of cut outs. Ink the stamp with Espresso Truffle, stamp and repeat on the other cut outs.
Now the fun part, time to add some color to the leaves. I used Distress Spray Stains -
Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Fired Brick, Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint.
There is no right or wrong way to do this. I just randomly sprayed the colors until I liked how the leaves looked. Once all of the color was applied I used a heat tool to dry the paper.
Here is a look at the leaves once they were dry.
To shape the leaves I used a 6mm round ball stylus and a foam pad. Run the stylus down the center of the leaf and then out towards the end of the leaf.
Now it's time to put the centerpiece together. Make sure your glue gun is ready but please be careful--they are really hot! I used a small grapevine basket, berry sprigs, acorns, hydrangea flowers and the paper leaves.
Start by adding the filler flower.
Use hot glue to adhere t to the basket. Next add the hydrangea flowers and acorns.
To finish off the basket add the paper leaves.
I just love how the basket turned out and the leaves are so beautiful!
Add a votive cup and battery votive candle to the center of the basket to finish the centerpiece. Here are a few closes ups of the leaves in the centerpiece.
This project would make a wonderful hostess gift for Thanksgiving.
My finished centerpiece measures about 8" x 10" and I purchased the basket, votive, battery operated candle, filler flowers, acorns and hydrangea flowers at my local Joann's.
Supplies:
JustRite Stamps: CL-02027 Burlap Cling Background Stamp, CL-02127 Crackle Cling Background Stamp, CL-04430 Floral Florishes Cling Background Stamp
JustRite SVG: SVG Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves Digital Cut File Download
Ink: Imagine/Crafts Tsukineko Memento Espresso Truffle

We are so excited to have Alice Carman guest designing for us for the next three days. I can't wait for you to see all the gorgeous projects she has created using stamps from our October Release. I encourage you to also visit Alice's blog - Card's by Alice to see all the yummy projects that Alice has created.
Now here's Alice.....
Thank you for inviting me as the Guest Designer this week. I was so inspired by the stamps I received and here’s what I created for my first day. I used JustRite’s Oak Leaves Cling Stamp to create the background paper and to use as the main focus of this card. I stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto Kraft Paper.
Next I stamped my leave onto watercolor paper. Water coloring is the rage right now so I used a water brush and distress inks (Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Gathered Twigs) to blend in colors for the leaves. I wanted the colored leaves to really pop on my card so I added a white stitched pocket to my background paper (which also gave me a perfect spot to stamp my sentiment). I distressed the edges of my pocket to make it blend it beautifully with my background.
I used a white pen to create faux stitching around the card to give it a country appeal and distress inks to age it a bit. You can always add some glitter to give it that extra glam, but I like the distress look for this card. I hope you enjoyed it.
Supplies:
JustRite Stamps: Oak Leaf Cling Stamps
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint, Barn Door, Gathered Twigs, Memento: Rich Cocoa
Paper: Water Color Paper, Cardstock: Kraft and White
Accessories: Water Color Brush,White Pen

Here is a look at the first card I am creating in my video using Gold Embossing Powder, Twinkling H2o's and watercolor paper.
Using the CR-03870 Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves Clear Stamps stamp the images with VersaMark ink, add gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
To activate the Twinkling H2O's add water and let them sit for a few minutes. Stir the paint to make sure you get a good even coat of the shimmer on your brush. Paint the leaves with Twinking H2O's. For my card I used the vibrant colors for the leave and then add softer colors for the background. All of the colors I used are in the supply list.
Since I wanted to have very vibrant colors on leaves I did not wet the paper before I started. You will be able to see on the finished card that the embossed areas resist the watercolor. Next I used my heat tool to dry the paint.
For the background start by misting the paper with water. Then use the brush to pull out a little bit of color from the image.
Make sure there is water around the outer edge of the image and then start to pull the color--doing this will help the paint to flow. Be sure to rinse the brush between colors.
Keep adding water to blend the colors. Now I am starting to added a little more color to the background using Golden Opal. Here I am adding a second layer of the Golden Opal. I wanted to darken up the background just a little bit more so I added some Cedar Wood. Something to keep in mind when you are doing watercolor--most of the time the paint will dry a little bit lighter shade.
When I was done watercoloring the background I used a heat tool to dry the paint.
To watch the video for my Bokeh Technique and my second card go timestamp 10:05 on the video. As I was shooting the video it occurred to me that I might not be pronouncing Bokeh correctly. And I was right. You can hear the correct
pronounciation here. The term comes from the Japanese word “boke” (暈け/ボケ), which translates to “blurr”, “haze”, or “fuzziness”.
It's a super fun technique and I hope that my video and written tutorial will inspire you to give it a try. Here is a look at my Thanksgiving Card. For the second technique I am using Distress Inks to create a watercolor background.
Mist the paper with water and then start with the lightest color.
I am just randomly adding colors. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Just be careful not to over blend and end up with muddy colors.
These are the colors of Distress Inks that I used for the first watercolor layer on my card.
Next I used the heat tool to dry the paint. Now it's time to start stenciling and create the Bokeh look on the paper.
I used three colors of Distress Ink--starting with the lightest color, sponges, and a stencil. Start with the largest circle on the stencil and then the medium and the smallest. The stencil I am using has several circles so I used blue painters tape to cover the other circles. The yellow is a little hard to see in the video but it does show up and yo can see it as you are stenciling.Repeat the same steps using a different color--Spiced Marmalade. You can see the background with the Bokeh look starting to appear.
For the third color I am using Vintage Photo Distress ink. Repeat the same steps with stenciling.
If you wanted to you could stop here with the technique. But if you want to soften the colors just a bit and give the background kind of a dreamy look you will want to continue. Using the same stencil and Donna Salazar Mix'd Media Inx-Jasmine stencil the circles on the background.As more ink is applied the background colors with start to soften.
The Mix'd Media Inx take a little longer to dry which is good for this technique. I used a cotton ball to rub over the entire areas and blend the colors a little more.
Next I used SVG-03870 Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves Digital Cut Files Download for CR-03870 with my Cameo to cut the leaf shapes. Then I used Distress Inks to watercolor the leaves. Mist the leaves with water and then start adding in the color.
Mist the leaves with water and then start adding in the color. Now it's time to stamp on the leaves. I used coordinating stamp set CR-03870 Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves Clear Stamps and Espresso Truffle ink to stamp the images.
Tip: When I am stamping on Exact Cuts I find it easier to ink the stamp and place it face up in an acrylic block. Then line up to paper with the stamp. Ink the edges of the leaves with the Espresso Truffle ink.
Ink the edges of the Bokeh style paper with the Espresso Truffle. I used Espresso Truffle ink for the sentiment and the Antique Linen to ink the edges.
Here is another picture of my Thanksgiving Card with the Bokeh Technique.

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday, today JustRite designer Heidi Blankenship shares how to create a DIY Burlap Gift Bag using JustRite Stamps, StazOn ink, and Spectrum Noir markers. This is a quick and easy project to create and it will be a perfect presentation for gift giving.
Before we get started with today's tutorial we need to anounce a winner! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us comments. We are totally enjoying getting to know each of our readers.
Congratulation to last week's Tutorial Tuesday Giveaway winner Pat Burger. You have won two background stamps of your choice.
Always love your cards and tutorials Darsie! Thanks for your inspiration. My favorite paper manufacturer is Bazzil....love the quality and range of colors. I most always buy single sheets, to fit my needs at the moment. Thanks for the chance to win the stamps!
Please email me at [email protected] with your background stamp selection and shipping information. Please use Tutorial Tuesday Winner as the subject of your email.
If you are reading this blog post from a feedburner email click here to see Heidi's video.
Here is the project that I will be making today. For those of you who do not have a fast enough internet connection to watch the video you can see my step shots and instructions below.
Instructions:
To create my sunflower ribbon for the burlap tote I used CR_02097 Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight Clear Stamps, StazOn Saddle Brown ink, Spectrum Noir Markers™ -CT2, CT4, GB3, GB6, CG2, TN6, EB7 and May Arts 2.5" Cotton Blend Vintage Print -Plain. To fray the ends of the ribbon pull off a few strings on each end.
Randomly stamp the large sunflower, small sunflower and leaf across the entier piece of ribbon using StazOn Saddle Brown ink. Here you can see the entire piece of ribbon after all the images were stamped. This is the first look--if you want something very natural looking you could stop here.
For the second look--ink the edges and blank spaces on the ribbon. Doing this will give the ribbon a aged and richer look. If you don't want to do any coloring you would stop here.
Now for the third and final look--adding color using Spectrum Noir markers. When coloring the images try not to color up to the inside lines so the color doesn't blend with the ink. When coloring the ribbon I am doing it very lightly and the colors just blend in to the ribbon. This is quick and easy basic coloring and would be great even for someone who is new to alcohol markers. Here is the ribbon once the entier piece was stamped, inked and colored. I love how this turned out! It is so quick and easy to customized your stamped ribbon and it will look like printed ribbon. :)
For the next part of my project I will be stamping on the cut shapes. I used SVG-02097 SVG Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight Cut File Download for CR-02097 and the Silhouette Cameo to cut the shapes.
I used the exact cut file to cut these shapes and I find it a lot easier to stamp them if I have the stamp facing up and then place the SVG cut file on top of the inked stamp.
TIP: Before inking the stamp, take the cut image and line it up on the stamp and then set it to the side.Then ink your stamp. It is a lot easier to pick it up and place on the stamp the SVG once you have it lined up instead of inking the stamp and then holding the cut image above and moving it around to line up.
Rub over the back of the paper and carefully lift it up.
To color the images I used Spectrum Noir markers. All of the markers are in the supply list at the end of this post.
These cut shapes are going to be added to the tag. To create the tag I used JustRite Die- JB-02087 Vintage Labels Eight Dies. For the larger piece I used brown cardstock and for the smaller piece I used kraft. I stamped the frame image and sentiment from the C CR_02097 Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight Clear Stamps on to the piece of kraft. I adhered all of the pieces together using E-Z Runner and 3D Foam Squares.
Here is a look at the finsihed burlap bag. Like I said this is a wine bag but you could actually use it for anything you would like. This will make a beautiful altered bag for gift giving.
With just a few supplies the burlap bags are very inexpensive and quick and easy to alter. I purchased a set of the burlap bags at Walmart in the craft department and they were $3.47 for the two bags.
Here is a close up of my gift tag.
Supplies:
Stamps: JustRite® Papercraft CR_02097 Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight Clear Stamps
Paper: Ivory, Kraft, Brown
Ink: Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko StazOn Saddle Brown, Memento Rich Cocoa
Markers: JustRite® Papercraft Spectrum Noir™ CT2, CT4, GB3, GB6, CG2, TN6, EB7

SVG Files: JustRite® Papercraft SVG-02097 SVG Stitched Sunflowers Vintage Labels Eight Cut File Download for CR-02097

Good morning everyone. We are very happy to have Debbie Seyer as a guest designer for the next 3 days. With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away Debbie has a beautiful Thanksgiving table setting to share.
Here's Debbie:
Hello JustRite© Papercrafts Fans! I am so excited and honored to be guest designing for such a wonderful company! Today I would like to share with you a project I made for my family’s Thanksgiving table. Every Thanksgiving, my mom is the hostess but I get the honor of designing the Thanksgiving table. This year I fell in love with the Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five Clear stamp set and the matching Vintage Labels Five die template. Here is my table setting:
To create this place setting, I stamped the black-eyed susan stamp onto white cardstock using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and used Copic Markers to color it. I did this 4 times for my 3 projects
After coloring the image, I fussy cut them out and used some Crystal Stickles on them to give them shine and set them aside to dry. Now its time to make the little napkin holder using the Vintage Labels Five die template. I cut/embossed 2 of the largest from the die set out of chocolate brown cardstock. Then I cut a strip of the same cardstock to 2 ½ x 11”. Then I scored the strip at 4” & 7” across the short side and at ½” along the long edges. Then I cut from the edge to the score line at the 4” & 7” score marks plus prefolded all the edges to form the box.
Then I added the scor-tape to the bottom of the Vintage Labels Five die cuts.
Here is what your box should look like at this point!
Now add some Scor-tape or liquid adhesive to the rounded edges of the die cut and assemble your box.
After putting my box together, I decorated it with the black-eyed susans and added the So Thankful sentiment from Good Friends Labels Twenty-Nine Clear Stamp set. I also created a napkin ring and treat bag. Everyone needs a treat bag full of chocolate kisses to take home, don’t you agree? Hope this project inspires you to make something special for your Thanksgiving table!
Project Recipe:
JustRite® Papercraft Stamps- Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five Clear Stamps; Good Friends Labels Twenty-Nine Clear Stamps
JustRite® Papercraft Die Template – Vintage Labels Five
Ink – Rich Cocoa Memento Ink Pad
Cardstock – Chocolate brown, Whipped Cream, Butterscotch Cardstock – Discount Cardstock
