Faithful Friend

Good morning.  Welcome to day 5 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today's release is called "Song In My Heart".  This set comes as a large oval ribbed set.  The centers in this set are interchangeable with some of the other JustRite sets such as "Fancy Labels" which is what I used for my card today.

My sentiment is from the "Song In My Heart" set dual stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and Memento Lilac Posies.  The frame is from the "Fancy Labels" set, stamped with Memento Lilac Posies and handcut.  The "Fancy Labels" set coordinates perfectly with Spellbinders Labels 18 and Labels 13 - I just don't own this set yet so I had to handcut it.

The stamped images in the upper corners were stamped using JustRite "Elegant Frames" and cut to fit the corner.  To finish my card, I added punched borders using the Martha Stewart Arch Lattice border punch and a matching bow.

Here is a look at the complete sets that I used to create my card:

Wine Label

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to Day 4 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today's release is called "Elegant Frames" and comes in cling.  I am really loving cling!!  It stamps so nice.

As soon as I saw these frames I immediately thought of a wine bottle label.  I'm not exactly sure why because I am not a wine drinker.  It just seemed to be the perfect size and the sentiment was perfect too.  Now to let you in on a little secret - just because I thought of a wine bottle label does not mean that I went out and bought a bottle of wine just to make my project.  This particular wine bottle happens to be one that my husband and I got on our honeymoon in Aruba - 13+ years ago!!  Needless to say it was a bit dusty. 

I stamped the large frame using Memento Potter's Clay and diecut it with the JustRite Custom Nested Frames dies - perfect fit!  Then I added 2 more mats - one in a copper color and one in a gold color.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, diecut with Spellbinders Petite Ovals and matted onto a copper mat diecut with Spellbinders Petite Scallop Ovals.

Here is a closer look at the label:

For the top of the wine bottle I wanted to make it look like a gold ribbon so I diecut copper and gold paper using Spellbinders Classic Inverted Scallop Circles.  Then I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with JustRite Custom Nested Sentiment Dies.

Thank You - You're The Best

Good morning.  Welcome to Day 3 of the JustRite Stampers release.  Today JustRite is introducing "Heart To Heart".  This set is a large oval ribbed set with some beautiful border designs and great sentiments.  And don't forget, many of the JustRite stamps are interchangeable which makes your stamps go further.  For my projects I used 2 different sets - Heart To Heart and Friendship Nested Sentiments - they work perfectly together.

I decided to make a tall narrow card for today.  I usually don't make the tall cards but I had this idea for this stamp set in my head so I just went with it!  I like the final results.

I stamped the border 3 times onto light pink cardstock with Memento Rose Bud and diecut using Spellbinders Labels 11.  The sentiment "Thank You" is from the Heart To Heart set, stamped twice with Memento Cottage Ivy and diecut with Spellbinders Long Rectangles.  The sentiment "You're The Best" is from the Friendship Nested Sentiments, stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy and diecut with Spellbinders Long Scallop Rectangles.

Here is a look at the complete sets that I used to create my card

Anniversary Candle

Good morning.  Welcome to day 2 of JustRite Stampers Release.  Today's stamp set is called "Vintage Oval Labels".  This stamp set comes in cling which I am really liking.  It stamps really nice!  This cling set is GORGEOUS!!  I'm not much of a "vintage" type of girl but I really like this set.

I was lucky enough to find some pillar candles at The Christmas Tree Shop on clearance for .50 just after Christmas.  I bought several to have on hand.  This is what my candle looked like when I bought it.

And this is what it looks like now:

I decided to make an Anniversary Candle.  This was one of those ideas that hit me right in the middle of the night - woke me up out of a sound sleep!!  I forced myself to go back to sleep but started on it as soon as I woke up.  I love decorating candles - I've done many as gifts for family and friends.  I think it just adds so much character and personality to a plain ole candle.

I used the 2 largest pieces in this set - the bottom layer is stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 13 and the top layer is stamped with Memento Desert Sand and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 6.  This set was designed to go perfectly with these Spellbinders dies - can't get much better than that!!  The sentiment is from the "Happy Everything Mini Tag Set", stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and diecut with Spellbinders Petite Ovals and matted onto Petite Scallop Ovals (another perfect match!)

The lace that I used was white so I airbrushed it with Copic markers so that it would match my Vintage look.  I also airbrushed the flowers as well as the ribbon (they were all white). 

Here is a look at the complete "Vintage Oval Labels" cling set

My Rainbow

Good morning everyone.  Welcome to release week at JustRite Stampers.  From today until March 1 JustRite will be showing sneak peaks of their March stamp release.  You are going to be blown away at these new sets.  I will be having projects everyday showcasing them.

Today's release sneak peak is called "My Rainbow".  This set is ribbed and fits on the large oval stamper.  It has some really nice sentiments perfect for different occasions as well as scrapbook pages.

For my sentiment I decided to create a "rainbow" of colors by using different ink colors on different words.  Once stamped I diecut it with Spellbinders Beaded Ovals and inked the edges with Memento Tangelo.  The mats were diecut with Spellbinders Classic Scallop Ovals.  The grass was created using Martha Stewart Icicles border punch, the white border created using Martha Stewart Garden Trellis border punch.  I also cut out extra clouds and popped them up on the card.

Here is a look at the entire "My Rainbow" set.

Thinking Of You

Good morning everyone.  Today is Friday which means another great challenge over at JustRite Inspiration.  Today's challenge is to use the two-tone effect one stamping direct to rubber.  This means to use 2 different ink colors directly onto your stamp and then apply to paper.  I have done this on a few of my cards in the past by using my Memento Dew Drop ink pads but now it is even easier than ever to do.  JustRite is now selling Memento markers on their site!!!  How great is that.  JustRite is really becoming your one-stop shopping site - great stamps, full size Memento ink pads, Memento markers, Copic Markers, Spellbinders dies, and JustRite Custom Nested Dies.



or my card today I still had to use my Memento Dew Drop ink pads because I haven't gotten any of the Memento markers yet.  I chose a sentiment from the "Mother Nature's Gifts" set stamped with Memento Danube Blue as well as Memento Tuxedo Black.  The great part about this type of stamping is that you can choose specific words/sections that you want to "POP" off your card.  As you can see I highlighted the words "Spring", "Love", and "Joy".  Once my sentiment was stamped I diecut it with Spellbinders Labels 13.  I also used the Labels 13 to diecut a piece of Murdock Country Creations Deep Sea polished stone paper turned in the opposite direction to mat my sentiment onto.

The white lattice border beneath my sentiment was created with the Martha Stewart Garden Trellis border punch.  The large white card base was embossed with the Cuttlebug Victoria embossing folder and then I applied Memento Summer Sky ink with a sponge dauber (also sold over at JustRite) over the raised sections.  It really makes the design stand out really well.

Be sure to check out the JustRite blog as well as Michele Kovack's blog for more projects using this technique.

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Mother's Day Card

Good morning everyone.  I know that Mother's Day is not until May but I have a card done anyway.  I started out by creating my background paper using a stamp from the Rubber Stamp Tapestry Corner & Heart Doily set.  I've never tried creating my own background paper but I think this came out really nice.

The background is stamped with Memento Sweet Plum and Memento Lulu Lavender.  Once I stamped the background I needed to decide on a stamp for my focal point.  I wanted to use some different stamps that I had not used yet.  Is there anyone else that buys stamps because they are cute and then never use them??  I am going to try and change that.  This stamp is from the Martha Stewart Cake Stamp set, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and diecut with Spellbinders Labels 9.  The sentiment is from the JustRite Stampers Happy Everything Mini Tag Set. 

Thanks for stopping in for a visit today.  Have a wonderful day!!
