250,000 Hits -Blog Candy Celebration- plus JustRite Stationery Set

Thank you to everyone who visits our blog!! We are very excited to announce that our blog counter has exceeded 250,000 hits and of course we are celebrating with Blog Candy!! First we have a great project to share with you designed by Angela Barkhouse and then we are giving away all the items that Angela used to make her project as blog candy. Note that we will be giving away multiply sets of prizes - at key levels we will add additional gift packages. For all the details on what you can win and how you can win it ..read the entire post!!

This is a great easy project to personalize. First we bought the box with the plain notecards from TJ Max. For under $5.00 and then Angela personalized the entire project by adding designer paper, ribboon and JustRite stamped embellishments. Most of the project could have been made from scraps. And what better way to show someone you care than a personalized gift. Or even better - how about creating personalized stationery for yourself. The box top and the Stationery Top looked like this before we started our JustRite makeover:

Angela adorned the box top with a strip of green floral paper from MOD as well as altering the sides of the box with the same paper. This pulled her design elements together. Next she added Sparkle and Shine ribbon from Michaels to the top and bottom of this strip as well as the front and sides. For a little bling she add blue Kaiser rhinestones. For her JustRite design element she used the Harmony Classic Oval Stamper II kit (JB-08180) and chose the “Imagine” designer center and star designer border. To create her embellishment for the top of the box she stamped the image using Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities & Scalloped Oval Nestabilities (JustRite Stamps stampes are designed to match perfectly with Spellbinders Nestabilities). The only shape in our collection that is not a perfect match currently is our small oval. In May we will be introducing a new small oval that matches the exact Nestabilities oval shape. To create the "Notes from ME" embellishment Angela used the small rectangular stamper (JB-08110) and the Curlz Font Ensemble 25 pt (JB-08070) and stamped my sentiment “Notes from Me” onto white cardstock using Versamagic Aegean Blue. Then she cut out the verbiage using the Spellbinders Double Ended Tags.

Here are samples of three cards that Angela designed for her Stationery Set using the Oval Stamper I Ensemble with her Curlz Font:

She had a ton of fun playing with all her JustRite Toys.

Day Two with Barb Schram- Just A Note

When Barb got her Pre-inked basket for being a finalists in the JustRite Stampin' Champion Contest she fell in love with our pre-inked words and 2x Stampers. So it didn't surprise us when she decided to combine our Harmony Oval I Stamper border with a 2X Stamper. And you can buy all our pre-inked words and 2x Stampers in the dollar deals section of our website - for just $1.00 each!! What a deal complete with a little inspiration from Barb. So let's get to Barb's instructions for how to make this beautiful project.

JUST A NOTE
Ten note cards and envelopes fit nicely in this clear box for a wonderful presentation! All set and ready for gift giving! My husband will gift this set to his secretary. Since most employees at his office are men, I made five notes with what would be a more suitable male color, dark green, and an orchid color that is definitely more feminine.

I started out by cutting my base colored cardstock, SU orchid opulence and PTI ripe avocado. Each 8 ½” x 11” sheet is cut into four 4 ¼” x 5 ½” pieces. The white PTI cardstock is cut into 4” x 5 ¼ pieces.

For stamping, I used two JustRite products, the Harmony Classic 1 3/8” x 2 1/8” Oval Stamper with a ring border only. What I love about the ring border I chose is you can color the image or leave it as is…either way looks fantastic. I felt like coloring, so I decided to use my Copic markers, V15 and G99 in this set. For the sentiment I utilized a JustRite self inked stamper, Just a Note. This was easy, easy and a crisp image every time! Check out the SALE going on right now at the JustRite store! This self inked stamper is ONLY one dollar! YES, you read it right! A JustRite Deal!
The belly band is 1” in width with a strip of patterned paper to pick up the orchid color! I layered three flowers, punched two holes with my Crop a Dile so I could easily thread the ribbon and tie it off for the flower center.

I couldn’t leave without showing you this additional note, card where I was experimenting with several colors of Copics. I LOVE how this turned out, so colorful and like a stain glass effect of sorts. I definitely will be making more of these! I attached this note to Papertreyink Raspberry Fizz cardstock. I hope this inspires you to create a few note cards! Whether it will be a set for you, friends, family, or coworkers, it will for sure be a perfect, Just Right gift! Have a great day!

Just A Note Stationary Set

From all the comments this week I get the sense you are in love with Michelle's JustRite designs. We are in love too. {wink} Today Michelle has prepared a wonderful stationary set and presents yet another great gift giving idea. Enjoy and click on any picture for a larger view.

Today I’d like to show you a little stationery set that I made for my daughter Josey. She turns 11 soon and I’m sure she’ll get lots of fun presents from her friends and family. I have always encouraged my girls to send hand written thank you notes, so I thought these will come in handy for her. I can remember how much I loved stationery as a little girl. If my mother would have spoiled me with all of these cute creations when I was a child, I would have just fainted right there on the spot! I know Josey will enjoy having her very own set of note cards to use as thank you notes.

To create the monogram, I used the round flower border from the JustRite Stampers Curlz DIY Monogram Stamper Kit along with the alphabet stamps and the Small Letter Set. I inserted the flower border into the outside groove of a wooden mount. By using the wooden mount, I am able to use any ink type or color that I choose and it’s very easy to work with. I then lined up the letters from the Curlz alphabet to spell *NOTE* in the center of the wooden mount. I added *just a* just above the word *NOTE* by picking out tiny letters from the Small Letter Set. I love how the wooden mount has so many grooves...this is where you line up all sizes of letters and numbers. The combinations you can put together are endless.


After stamping the monogram, I then cut, embossed and layered the image onto cardstock using my Spellbinder’s Die Templates. I added pop dots to the back of the stamped images. Then I created my card base by adding some cute owl patterned paper to the front of my standard A2 size card. I also added a horizontal strip of white cardstock which was stamped with polka dots. I adhered the monogram to the card front and then added some matching 3-D owl stickers to the top of the patterned paper.


I add some envelopes and tied the note cards up with some cute ribbon. These will be tucked into a gift sack for Josey’s birthday. She will LOVE them. And I’m guessing that Jordan will too......so good thing I stamped off some extra monograms. I think she’ll be excited too when I tell her she can make her own set of note cards!
