Goodbye JustRite

Hello to all my blogging friends!  As many of you may have seen, JustRite Papercraft had a Design Team Call as the new owners felt it was time for a change.  Of course the old team were welcome to reapply, I like the rest of the team decided it was time to step down.  I joined JustRite back in June 2009, so it is sad to say goodbye especially to Kellie Fortin and Amy Tedder who have steered the team, been our friends and designed beautiful stamps through all those years.  We have been a tight knit group who have cared for and supported each other and these two have been so good to us and I will miss them dearly.  My dear fellow Design Team, it is hard to say goodbye and I will be miss them terribly too - 7yrs is a long time to work beside many of these girls and we have a dear friendship with each other and I know that we will keep in touch.  I also want to thank all the JustRite fans who have faithfully followed this blog over the years, your support and comments have always been valued and meant so much!  Even though I won't be designing for JustRite anymore, I will have more time to 'play' and maybe venture into trying new things and even doing a few tutorials?

As a farewell, I'm posting a card that I had published a while ago using JustRite's Hydrangea Vintage Labels Seven stamp set.  I tried a technique where I've stamped the image in white embossing powder on white card and then used Copic Inks and a Aquabrush filled with Colourless Blender ink to create a watercolour effect.  It's a fun and different way to use your Copic inks and you don't have to worry about damaging your nibs on the embossing powder - give it a go, you may become addicted!

I think it's apt to finish with this sentiment as I have been very thankful to Kellie, Amy, Heidi, Debbie, Michele, Angela, Eva, Darsie, Sheri, Marisa and Kristi as well as all those who I've worked beside at JR over the years.  Miss you girls!  <3

JustRite Window Flower Garden

Hello Everyone!  Today I've been playing with a new die set by JustRite Papercraft called Flower Garden Dies!  There are so many options to play with so I decided to make a window flower garden!  Wouldn't it be nice to look out your window at some pretty flowers, I guess a paper flower garden will have to do for now!  :)

I've used a base of cream and layered with blue.  Next I've taken a piece of white and airbrushed it with Copic E97 and a brick wall stencil.  Next I found the window template at Silhouette and cut out the pieces I needed.  Then I had some fun with the Flower Garden Dies - using up a lot of my scraps in various colours - and constructed my window garden!  I airbrushed the window top and bottom in B32 and glued them in place and popped it up on foam tape.  I finished by adding a sentiment from Large Oval Celebration stamps to the bottom corner.

JustRite Sympathy

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm showing one of the stamps from JustRite's new Large Oval Sympathy Stamp set.  Sadly, it's one of those occasions that you have to have cards for and sometimes finding the right words can be difficult.  Large Oval Sympathy has 16 different sentiments to choose from to help bring comfort at such a sad time.  I really liked the sentiment I've used on today's card, because often there are no words, but your heart hurts for them and you want the recipient to know how much you care.

I've used a base of Soft Sky and layered with white cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and a piece of Maja Designs DP (also cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles).  Around this I've attached to pieces of green ribbon.  The sentiment from Large Oval Sympathy has been stamped in Gray Flannel and cut with Joy Oval Frame Dies, matted with Soft Sky cut with the largest of the die in the same set.  To accent I've added some flowers and cut the leaves of green with Open Leaf Vine Dies.  Finally I've added a few drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops in White to the top corner.

Create a JustRite Flower Garden

Hello Everyone!  Today I've done a little gardening.....stamping style!  JustRite Papercraft have brought out a new stamp set called Create a Flower Garden......and that's exactly what I've done!  Using many of the stamps in the set, I've created my own little, low maintenance flower garden and added a little fence for good measure!

I've used a base of So Saffron and layered with Pistachio Pudding cut with A2 Card Front Basics, Soft Sky cut with A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles and wrapped some grosgrain ribbon around it all.  I've cut another rectangle of white card using A2 Card Front Basics and then stamped the flowers and grasses from Create a Flower Garden in a variety of Memento inks.  I've added details with Copics (Y00, Y13, YR21, YG11, YG61, YG63, RV52, RV55) and Kirarina Wink Pens (Gold, Pink, Purple).  I've fenced my garden with a Woodgrain Fence Die and added a little greenery with a Grass Die.  To finish I've used the new Best Wishes Sentiment Die to add the sentiment across the fence.

I've also decorated the inside using the leftover piece of fence and grass and stamping another flower!

Stamps - Create a Flower Garden (JustRite)
Paper - White, So Saffron, Pistachio Pudding, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Ink - Memento Inks; Bamboo Leaves, New Sprout, Rose Bud, Canteloupe, Lulu Lavender
Accessories - JustRite A2 Card Front Basics, JustRite A2 Stitched Banners and Rectangles, JustRite Best Wishes Sentiment Dies, Woodgrain Fence Die, Grass Die, Grosgrain Ribbon, Kirarina Wink Pens - Gold, Pink, Purple

A quick note before I go - thank you so much to everyone for their sweet comments about my last card, the Jacaranda Trees.  I had no idea than many of you had never seen or heard of them before! Those of you who have (looking at you Gab) - also had a cool story to tell!  I'm just glad that it resonated with you all and that is what craft and art are all about!  :)

That's all from me today, thanks for popping by and hope you are inspired to stamp!

JustRite Jacarandas

Hello Everyone!  Today I'm playing with lots of new JustRite Papercraft goodies to make my card!  I really like this Multi-Step Seasonal Trees set - just imagine all the tree scenes you can create and as the title says, make it to suit any season at all!!  Here in Australia, very few trees actually change colour and lose their leaves - most are just green all year round!  I guess that is mostly because compared to my friends in the Northern Hemisphere, it's pretty warm all year round and not a flake of snow to be seen!

With that said, I've made the tree on my card into a Jacaranda!  Where I live these trees bloom twice a year, in May and October, lose all their leaves and leave only the purple flowers.  When the flowers die, the green leaves grow back.  They really are beautiful to see in full bloom and very soon my suburb will be full of them!  Here's a picture (not taken by me) for those of you who aren't familiar with them.

I've used a base of purple card and layered with cream, Baked Brown Sugar and some Graphic 45 DP.  Down one side is another piece of DP topped with purple ribbon.  I've taken a piece of white card and used Multi-Step Seasonal Trees to create my tree scene.  I've stamped the trunk in Rich Cocoa and the flowers in Lulu Lavender and Violet inks.  I've added the green grass and black bird using stamps from Multi-Step Seasonal Trees as well.  :)  I've sponged a little green ink across the bottom and blue around the tree.  I've cut this out with Hope Oval Frame Dies and matted with purple card using the largest die from the same set.  I've used the sentiment from Large Oval Sympathy, stamped in Violet ink and cut it out with the tag die from A2 Card Front Basics.  To finish I've added a few dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops in Crushed Grape.

Stamps - Multi-Step Seasonal Trees, Large Oval Sympathy (JustRite)
Paper- White, Purple, Cream, Baked Brown Sugar, Graphic 45 DP
Ink - Memento Rich Cocoa, Bamboo Leaves, Lulu Lavender, Versacolor Violet

JustRite Happy Chrysanthemums

Hello Everyone!!  I hope you've all had a lovely Easter!  It's starting to get cooler here as we head into Autumn, but really it's still pretty warm here (probably like Summer for many of my Northern Hemisphere friends) and the kids can still get in the pool over the school holidays!  :)  I didn't really have anything in mind except that I wanted to colour this Chrysanthemum  image and it kind of evolved into something resembling a country theme - I have to say blue and yellow together always makes me feel happy, so the finished card just makes me smile!  :)

I've used a base of Marina Mist and topped with white cut with Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles and a piece of Carta Bella DP.  Over this I've attached a strip of white and then wrapped a piece of green ribbon around all layers.  I've stamped the flower and sentiment from Chrysanthemums in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (Y21, Y35, Y38, YR23, G21, G24, G28).  This has been cut with Labels 28 and while still in the die I've added some B0000 Copic around the edges.  I've matted this with Marina Mist cut with Decorative Labels 28 and popped it up on foam tape.  To finish I've added a green bow and topped it with a yellow button tied with twine.

Stamps - Chrysanthemums (JustRite)
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Marina Mist, White, Carta Bella It's A Girl DP

JustRite Anniversary Vines

Hello Everyone! It's time for this week's Inspiration Challenge at Splicoaststampers and the website takes us to the China Online Museum.  There is a lot to choose from, but I was drawn to 'A Spring Breeze' - I guess because I like the pinks, greens and creams of the floral painting - what can I say, I like this colour combo!  :)  I had to go with a colour palette inspiration because I really don't have much in the way of Chinese themed stamps and such!  I've also been playing with these gorgeous new Open Leaf Vine dies....*swoon*.... I love how pretty and lacy they are!!

I've used a base of green bazzill and layered with Very Vanilla (pierced around the edge) and topped with some FabScraps Chic Pink DP.  Next I've die cut some Vanilla card using Fleur De Elegance die.  In the middle of the die cut I've randomly stamped some roses using Sweet Flowers and Vines in Angel Pink ink.  Next I've die cut four Open Leaf Vines in two shades of green card - these are great because they mirror image each other - and attached them as shown.  I've added several Prima flowers to accent the vines in pinks and ivory.  I've stamped the sentiment from Sweet Flowers and Vines in Rose Bud onto Vanilla cut, cut into a notched tag and attached under the flowers.  The corners looked a little bare, so I've stamped the heart element from Sweet Flowers and Vines in Rose Bud ink on each corner.  Finally I've accented with Silver Lining Crystal Drops by adding drops to each corner as well as the centers of two of the flowers.  I love the Crystal Drops, you can make them as big or as small and you need and give a lovely pearl effect!  *Happy Sigh*

Stamps - Sweet Flowers and Vines (JustRite)
Paper - Green Card (two shades), Very Vanilla, FabScraps Pink Chic
Ink - Memento Rose Bud, Angel Pink
Accessories - JustRite Open Leaf Vine Dies, Spellbinders Fleur De Elegance, Prima Flowers, Tonic Silver Crystal Drops, Paper Piercer

It's been very hot and stormy here in tropical Queensland since it is the middle of Summer, but I know that there has been massive Winter storms and huge amounts of snow in other parts of the world.  I hope whatever part of the world you live in that you are safe from the wild weather that's been happening of late!  Thanks for taking the time to pop by and hope you are inspired to stamp!  :)

Remember You Are Brave

Hello Everyone!  I have a new card today for you using one of the latest releases by JustRite Papercraft called Remember You Are!  If you have a fondness for Winnie the Pooh this will have a familiar feel!  Full of mix and match words to create a sentiment perfect for the person you have in mind!  I have a friend who's had a rough time lately and I thought this combo in particular would be fitting for her.

I've used a base of black card and layered with red and some Spring Bloom DP.  Next is a strip of black topped with more DP.  Around this I've attached cream and aqua ribbons.  I've then used the JustRite Vintage Labels Seven Dies (ooops, just realised that this particular die is no longer available - sorry about that!) to cut a piece of DP and a piece of black card.  I've cut the card panel in half so it can frame the other piece a little.  The sentiment from Remember You Are has been stamped in black and red inks to highlight the words braver and believe and then cut it out with a circle die and popped it up on foam tape.  To finish I've added some clear rhinestones and a couple of buttons.

Love You to the Moon and Back!

Hello Everyone!  There's something about this new Arriving Soon stamp set by JustRite Papercraft that I just love!  I don't know about everyone else, but I've told my kids that I loved them to the moon and back.....which eventually morphed into "I love you around the universe and back!"  :)  I also like that this set is fabulous for baby cards, but for older kids (or adults for that matter!) as well!  I have news about a HUGE SALE as well, so make sure you scroll down!!

I've used a base of Marina Mist card and layered with silver and some Secret Garden DP.  Next I've added a panel of white punched with a border punch and topped with more paper.    I've used the Tonic Royal Frame and Butterfly Insert Die to cut a piece of Marina Mist for my feature panel and then carefully snipped on each side so I could thread a piece of silver ribbon through.  I've stamped the image and sentiment from Arriving Soon in grey (for the moon) and black (sentiment) inks and then used blue Copics (B0000, B000, B00, B21, B91) to colour and airbrush around the moon for a soft sky effect.  To add a bit of sparkle, I've used a Clear Spica Pen on the Moon and surrounding stars and a touch of silver Kirarina Pen on the swirls.  To finish I've added a couple of silver stars to the frame.

Paper - Marina Mist, White, Silver, Kaisercraft Secret Garden DP

To the New Parents!

Hello Everyone!  The last card I made was for a baby boy, so today I thought I should put up one for a baby GIRL!  This is another new sweet baby set by JustRite Papercraft called We Are Having A Baby.  It's got a couple of adorable bear images and I chose this super cute one with balloons!

I've used a base of Kraft card and layered with white (pierced around the edge) and some pretty Maja Designs paper.  Down the side is a strip of kraft topped with a ribbon.  The next panel is white topped with matching Maja Designs paper.  I've stamped the bear from We Are Having A Baby in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics.  I've cut this out with Oval Nestabilities and while still in the die, I've lightly sponged some ink around the edge.  I've matted this with kraft cut with Floral Oval Nestabilities.  I've created the sentiment with two stamps (instead of parents you can choose other options!) from the same set, cut it out with Circle Nestabilities, once again sponging a little ink while still in the die and popped it up on foam tape.  To finish I've added a few pink buttons!

Celebrating Your Arrival!

Hello Everyone!  It's JustRite Papercraft Release Day!!!  This month we are doing something a little different and posting our favourite project of the release today instead of a set a day in the lead up!  This means that each of the team will be posting projects from different sets, but you won't know which until you pop by and visit!!  The girls have been making some GORGEOUS cards this month that you will *LOVE*.

Sooooooo.....what did I use today??  It's a set called Arriving Soon and I mean seriously, how CUTE is this set!!!  I've used a base of Marina Mist and added a layer of white topped with some Playtime DP. Next is a strip of Marina Mist topped with more Playtime DP.  Tucked under that layer is a circle of white that I've embossed with Spots and Dots embossing folder (to give a moon like appearance!).  I've stamped the rocket and flourishes from Arriving Soon in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics.  I've cut this out with Labels 28 and sponged the edges with Summer Sky ink while still in the die and attached as shown.  The sentiment, also from Arriving Soon, is done in matching ink, cut into a notched tag and secured with a button.  I've added a little bunting using JustRite's Buntings and Button dies to cut Marina Mist and Playtime DP and attached across the top.  I've added some piercing down the side and then finished with a couple of extra buttons.

Peonies

Hello Everyone!  Today is the last day of the JustRite Papercraft October release! I hope you've loved all the sets as much at the DT have and of course we've saved my favourite for last!!  PEONIES!!!  Who can resist beautiful blooms that you can use to create a bouquet in a mason jar??!! Swooooon!!  And just to make that little bit more irresistible.... you can buy the matching Peonies Cutting Dies!!  Swoooooon again!!!

I've used a base of pink card, layered with cream card and some DP.  Next I've cut some pink card with Decorative Labels 8.  The next panel is a piece of cream cut with Tonic Studios Royal Frame with Butterfly Insert Die.  I didn't cut the butterfly panel, only the outer and can I say, all the pieces just FALL OUT....OMGosh, such an easy clean up!!  Ooops, where was I?  I actually ran a wide piece of ivory ribbon through the Tonic Die and then attached a piece of pink trim over the top. Now the fun part!  I actually stamped and masked my images from Peonies to create the bouquet in the top of the mason jar.  Once I did that, I coloured it all with Copics (RV00, RV52, RV55, RV66, G40, G43, G46, YG97, B0000, B000, B21, B91, B93, Y21) and added a touch of Kirarina 2Win Lemon Yellow to the center.  Because I masked it, I had to fussy cut it all and then popped it up on foam tape.  Why did I fussy cut it when there are Peonies Cutting Dies???  Well, mine hadn't arrived in time, but you know I'll be using them next time!!  ;-)

Pinwheel Daisies

Hello Everyone!  Are you ready for a new fun and funky set??  Today JustRite Papercraft is releasing their latest stamp set.......say hello to Pinwheel Daisies!  There are many flower stamps in this set to play with and you can just imagine all the effects and combos you can create with them!! And if that wasn't exciting enough....... you can also buy the dies to match, Pinwheel Daisies Die Set!!  I love the funky retro feel of this set and I'm sure you will too!!  :)

I've used a base of Pool Party and then cut some Daffodil Delight and X-press It Blending Card using A2 Curved Borders One.  I've then stamped a couple of the images from Pinwheel Daisies in Memento Tuxedo Black onto the Blending Card and coloured with Copics (RV52, Y15, BG10, BG11, BG13).  After that I decided the white was a bit stark, so I sponged a little Antique Linen around the images and attached to the yellow base.  Around these layers I've added some sheer ribbon and popped it up on foam tape.  The sentiment from Morning Splendor has been stamped at the bottom as shown.

Morning Splendor

Hello Everyone!  It's day three of the JustRite Papercraft October Release!  Today the JustRite girls are showcasing a dreamy new set called Morning Splendor!  I just looooooove this with it's soft flowing blooms and swirly tendrils floating about!!  You'll love the different images in this set and all the pretty sentiments that go with it!!  I know I'll be using this one a LOT!!

I decided to let the image from Morning Splendor take center stage and stamped it on a large piece of X-press It Blending Card and coloured it with Copics (B60, B63, B66, G40, G43, G46, E21, YR30, YR31) and added some silver detail with a Kirarina Wink Silver Pen. The sentiment, also from Morning Splendor, has been stamped in the top corner and accented with a yellow Copic Marker.  I've matted the panel with cream card, punching the bottom with the Deco Fan border punch.  This has been placed on the card base of blue bazzill, cream card, two pieces of Graphic 45 DP and a strip of blue ribbon with a notched end. To finish I've added a couple of buttons.

A Beautiful Wedding

Hello Everyone!  It's time for the JustRite Papercraft October Release!!  If you missed yesterday's peek you can find that HERE! Today I am actually using one of the stamps from yesterday's set called Grand Wedding Wishes, as well as one from today's brand new set called Wedding Inner Sentiments!  You know all those times when you want to put a little something inside a special card like a wedding and can't think of the words?  Well Wedding Inner Sentiments is just for you!!

To create the front of my card I used a base of white, layered with Soft Sky, some Maja Design DP and more white cut with A2 Tranquil Moments. Across this is some white ribbon topped with Soft Sky cut with the smaller die from Tranquil Moments. I've used a slightly darker card cut with Stately Circles and layered with with Soft sky and then white stamped with Tuxedo Black using Grand Wedding Wishes. To finish I added a bow, button and cord and a few clear rhinestones.

For my inside, I've taken a strip of Maja Design paper, matted with the darker blue card and punched the border with Deco Fan border punch.  I've added the sentiment from Wedding Inner Sentiments to the inside by stamping it directly to the card in Memento Summer Sky - such a pretty blue to tie it all together - leaving some space for a sweet note for the happy couple!

Can't wait to see what the JR Girls have created with this set??  Me neither!  You can find all the JR inspiration at the following blogs!!

Great Joy

Hello Everyone!  Have you been enjoying the new releases by JustRite Papercraft??  We hope you are as excited as we are that JustRite is back and bringing new products!  Today I have the pleasure of introducing the newest set......Great Joy!  This is such a beautiful set - firstly I've always loved angel images and secondly the sentiments also include verses from the bible to share and celebrate the meaning of Christmas!

I've used a base of Soft Sky and then added a piece of cream punched with a neglected Fiskars border punch and topped with some December 25th DP.  I've stamped the sentiment and angel from Great Joy in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card.  The angel has been coloured with Copics (B00, B12, B14, B16, E000, E01, E11, YR31) and I've also added some Clear Atyou Spica to the wings - which sadly you can't really see in the photo, but it's really pretty.  :)  I've added a little yellow Copic to the star on the sentiment and then cut it out with Radiant Rectangles and matted it with Soft Sky cut with the same die set and then popped it all up on X-press It Foam Tape.  The angel has been fussy cut with scissors and also popped up on foam tape.  To finish I've added pearls to the corners.

I decided to decorate the inside with a left over strip of DP onto Cream card and then stamped another sentiment, also from Great Joy in Memento Desert Sand.

Save the Date

Hello Everyone!  Today's card was a request from a friend of mine.  Next year is her parent's 50th Anniversary and she wanted a card to make them 'Save the Date' for a special week-end that they have planned!  She did have a request to have the date on the card, so I had to go digging into my retired JustRite stash for a font set.

Speaking of JustRite Papercraft, as many of you probably know by now, the owner of JustRite is closing the Consumer Website and that also means that the JustRite Design Team has been let go.  This has been very sad for our team as we have been a tight group personally as well as professionally - I love these girls!  I remember starting with JustRite in June 2009.....can you believe it, 6 years ago!  It has been a sad time for all of us, but now it is time for us to move in different direction, that includes our leader Kellie Fortin who now has new horizons to explore - I'm sure we'll find out more soon!

For this card I've used a base of white and layered with gold and more white embossed with an embossing folder.  Around this I've attached a piece of white ribbon.  I've then used Filigree Corner Dies by JustRite to cut the gold corners and embellished with Prima flowers and Foliage Flourish die cuts.  I've created the sentiment using the Save The Date sentiment from Summer Words (ret.) and the date made with a retired font set. It's been cut with Large Oval Nestabilities and matted with gold cut with Elegant Ovals and popped up on X-press It Foam Tape.
