JustRite Papercraft presents The Amazing Paper Grace Stamp Collection!


We are starting a day early for the JustRite Papercraft August Release!  And it all begins with sharing inspiration using JustRite's newest stamp collection, Amazing Paper Grace, designed by our very own DT member, Becca Feeken!  Becca has designed three stamps sets for this release, so fasten your seat belts, because you are going to be blown away with all the Amazing Paper Grace goodness coming your way! 


I used Becca's new JustRite Vintage Alphabet Soup Background Stamp for my card today.  Isn't it lovely?  Stamping the background twice in two different ink colors allowed me to use the extra letters and create my own sentiment!  So fun and easy! I also use Tim Hotz Distress Ink for the shading the paper edges. The gorgeous Kaisercraft designer paper, ribbons, and flower are found in The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store

Becca's JustRite Vintage Alphabet Soup Background is a cling stamp measuring 4 1/2" x 5 3/4" giving you plenty of coverage to create whatever you need!  It is beautiful indeed!  Tomorrow I will return with a creation using another set of Becca's new JustRite stamp collection. Congratulations, Becca!  You are one amazing designer and it is a joy working with your stamps, my friend!

It's a Bloomin' Tuesday! Stamp Simply Style!

Good Morning to you!  Today we are featuring creations that spotlight Bloomer and Rosette trims that are shabby and fun!  I love the ease of using this trim, and am thrilled with the finished shabby look they exhibit!  Sharon over at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store has a great selection of this fantastic trim HERE.  Let's get stated with my first creation using some Webster's Pages bloomers!


How about a baby bib and headband?  The bib is from Target, and the headband was purchased in a set from Meijers.  For those of you not familiar with Meijer Stores, it's a Midwest store chain, similar to Walmart, Target, etc.  I added seam binding to coordinate with the headband embellishing.  Tulle and velvet ribbon is also added to the headband.  Now, I know what you are thinking!  This is so cute and all, but anything a baby wears we have to launder, right?  Well, this bib has been laundered! I am thrilled to share, these Webster's Pages Bloomers wash wonderfully!  This went through a warm water regular machine wash and was thrown in the dryer.  

I used a good ole' needle and thread to attach the trim and seam binding to the bib, here is a close up of the stitching.  All embellishing on the headband is also sewn and attached using a needle and thread!

Remember these blooming trees?  What a great way to use your trims!  The styrofoam cones measure six and twelve inches and were purchased at Michaels.  A totally different use of this trim, but a creates a wow decor piece!  On the larger tree on the bottom row and the fourth row from the bottom is Prima's Shabby Rose! They are a bit larger!  All I did here was use pearl head straight pins to attach the trims to the cone.  Adding a seam binding embellished JustRite tag with a holiday sentiment packs the final punch, no? 

If you want easy and terrific all in one trim...then using this type of shabby trim is where it is at!  So simply wonderful to use!  The Stamp Simply Store has a wonderful selection of these trims HERE.  Along with all the JustRite Stamps that you need HERE!  Don't forget the pearl head straight pins too, Sharon has this value pack HERE.

I have other bloomin' news to share!  The Stamp Simply Store has a new face amongst its design team!  Darsie Bruno is now a Stamp Simply Store Special Projects Designer! Darsie is such a talented designer and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with her on two teams now!  She is joining us today with her Bloomin' Creations...wait till you see! Gorgeous is the first word that comes to mind!

Here are the participants for today's Bloomin Creations!

Sweet Cake for JustRite's Release Day Four!

How about a bit of wedding cake sweetness today?  When I saw this three piece Melissa Frances oval box set, I envisioned a cake of some sort.  Then, when I saw JustRite's new release set, Ever After Antique Labels One, I knew it had to be a wedding cake! Sweet!

Ever After is a clear set featuring 19 stamps.  I chose to stamp the Mr. & Mrs. sentiment with VersaFine Black ink within the stamped decorative border. Ink used for the border is Memento Rhubarb Stalk.  Copic Markers, WG0, WG1 are used to add shading.  I trimmed out the border and adhered it upon my coordinating JustRite Spellbinders die cut. 

These Antique Labels One Dies are designed to coordinate exclusively with JustRite Stamps. After my die was cut and stamped piece attached, I placed the cake topper in a Tim Holtz Memo pin to hold it upright!  Perfect!  Each oval tier has a box top and box bottom.  I permanently glued the tops on the top two tiers so they will not open.  That way the decor will not  be compromised when trying to open.  However the bottom box top can be removed will the rest of the tiers securely glued in place.  A small gift, special sentiments, or what ever you can think of gifting the Mr. & Mrs. on their special day would be great!

A closeup view of the cake details.  I used Prima Paper En Francais to cover the boxes.  Aleen's Tacky glue is the adhesive I used.  Nothing will move with this glue!  I did stamp additional sentiments from the Ever After set in Memento London Fog ink to add more interest on the cake tiers.  Gorgeous silk ribbon along with seam binding and loop lace trim  from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store is just the decoration the cake needed!  Snow adhesive pearls equals perfect detail!  Don't you just love this set?  So many possibilities and ideas!  And this is just one of two sets released today!  Pictured below is our second set for today, JustBecause Vintage Labels!  

Just Because Vintage Labels  is a clear set featuring 18 clear stamps. These stamps coordinate with JustRite custom Spellbinders Vintage Label & Banner dies and Antique Label One Dies pictured move in this post!  Phew!  Are you still with me?  A long post today!  Thank you for stopping by, I so appreciate your visit!  Tomorrow is Release Day Five!  Hmmm, what clue can I share?  Let's say it will be a special delivery!  See you then!

Tree-mendous Tagged Decor! JustRite Style!

Happy Fourth of July to you and those you love!  A perfect day to pause and count the freedoms, independence, and blessing we share in this country! I'm sure you guessed by the hint yesterday that some sort of trees were on the agenda!  For JustRite's Day Three of their July Release, I chose to create room decor!  You can use ruffled ribbons, designer papers, or flowers to attach to the styrofoam cones to create custom trees or in this case use Webster's Pages Bloomers.  And the tags add the perfect punch for the holidays, no?

The sentiments for my trees are found in JustRite's Christmas Antique Labels One.  I stamped with Martha Stewart Chalk inks then cut out using JustRite's Custom Dies that coordinate with this set!  Christmas Antique Labels One is a cling set featuring 14 stamps.  Endless possibilities! 
I attached the bloomers to the cones using pearl head straight pins. I found mine at the Stamp Simply RIBBON Store HERE.  I was able to use matching colors of the bloomers so you cannot see the pins, and it made the task quick and fun! The cones are 12" and 6" in size and were bought at Michaels.  For this tree, the 12", I also added Prima Shabby Roses at the base and the fourth row from the base.  They are larger and work well with the larger cone. 


Seam binding for the tags and this tree top is found HERE.  JustRite is releasing a second set today too! You will be inspired when you see how the team designers are using Joy to the World Medallion Labels!  The set is found HERE


A peek of the complete Spellbinders Antique Labels One Custom Die set.  This set features 6 dies that coordinate exclusively with JustRite cling and clear stamps. Make life so much easier to have the matching dies to these stamps!  Thanks for stopping by today!  I will be back tomorrow with an altered item that is sweet (another hint*)  for Release Day Four!

Be sure and check out what the following talented designers have for you today!  Enjoy!

Christmas in July! Day Two-JustRite Style!

WELCOME to Day Two of JustRite's July release! We have two sets to share with you today.  One is Christmas Miracle Ornaments and a beautiful Holly Background stamp! I know you will enjoy all the inspiration the designers have to share!  Enjoy! 


I created another card trio set for you today!  I could not just stamp one of these terrific ornament images!  Kraft card stock is the only paper used and each image is stamped twice, then trimmed out.  For each top ornament I used my craft knife to remove the middle portion that is reserved for a sentiment!  This is not necessary, but I love the intricate cutting of paper!  

Here is the entire Christmas Miracle Ornaments Set, which features 14 cling stamps.  The sentiments on today's cards are found in the Noel Christmas Ornaments Set from yesterday, love the ability to interchange all these sets!


Here is a close up of one of the cards.  LOVE the wording used on these images, see them peeking through the design?  I did go in and add some gray shading with my Copic Markers, WG0, WG1 to add a bit more dimension. Linen thread is used to mimic a hanger with a little bow!  And a seam binding bow along with tiny twinkle gems complete the design on each card!

I chose to stamp this background with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink. The cards measure 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with the stamped Holly Background trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and the corners punched before adhering to card base. This is a beautiful intricate stamp that can be colored or left well enough alone, as I have done!  Wait till you see the coloring masterpieces fellow team designers created using this stamp! There we have it! Tomorrow I will be back for Day Three, it will be a tree-mendous creation! (hint, hint*)


Check these amazing designer's creations!  Enjoy!

Definitely Christmas in July, today it's a Noel Ornaments Day, JustRite Style!

Welcome!  Today is Day One revealing JustRite's July Release Stamp Sets!  And it's Christmas in July!  We'll be revealing sets every single day this week!  So get ready to be inspired beyond words!


I made a trio of cards, same execution for each, just in various colors! Isn't that button snowman the cutest? So simple and easy! Love the non traditional colors of pink and purple for a holiday/winter card!  

Take a look at this clear set, featuring 34 stamps!  Yes, that's right!  Noel Christmas Ornaments is full of ornament options galore! I stamped the teardrop ornament and trimmed out before using the slot punch on each side to run the seam binding through. Next was applying glitter to the edges of the ornaments and the stamped sentiment banners. Assembly was quick after the prep, and then came glueing the buttons atop the ornaments along with the tiny gems and string scarfs! A little bit of glitter at the base of each snowmen and voila' three cards ready to go! 


Check out all the Noel Christmas Ornaments goodness the following designers have for you.  Click on each name to be transported to each respective blog!  Have fun and enjoy the hop!  See you tomorrow!
