CHA Sneak Peek- Just a Little Caffeine

Tonight we are revealing a new new size Wooden Stamper - a 2" round. You are gonna love everything that you can do with this wooden stamper. It is our most versatile design ever!!

1. the Rim is designed to fit our new 15 point font as well as our existing 6 pt font.(small letter font)

2. The rubber grid of this new stamp has a fun new configuration. It has been designed so that it will accept all your 1 5/8" designer centers and borders. Now I am sure you are wondering how that is possible. Well it's simple the rubber grid on this block has two unique borders which you can use. Imagine the grid on your 1 5/8" stamper with an extra border added. You will now be able to write in 15 point font around the outside of your existing 1 5/8" borders and centers. Or you can use just the 1 5/8" designer center and omit the 1/5/8" border ( this just gives you a nice symetrical break in your design) and then you can write on the outside border. We would love to show you a project made with this block...or show you the actual block....but our samples don't arrive for another two days. We just couldn't wait for you to hear about this new design.

3. It also works like a traditional JustRite Wooden block and has it's own 2" designer centers and borders. So it can be used like any of our existing blocks. With a 2" designer center and 2" interchangeable border. Or you can use it with a 2" designer center and design your own personal message using our new new fifteen point font.

4. To make purchasing this new item easy, the block will be sold with the New 15 point Times Roman Font included. And will come with a free colorable floral designer center (Get your Copic Markers Ready).

5. This is a great new size for cardmaking!!! Can you say...gotta have it!!

Tonight's stamp set reveal is one of our favorite stamp sets from the Spring Collection. It is designed for the new 2" Wooden Stamper. We think everyone will need to add this set to your "gotta have lists"

Especially if you are one of the many bloggers who designs projects and writes post into the middle of the night on a regular basis. We know there are more than a few of you who sneak off to your studios to design after your families are fast asleep...so this set is for you!!

Just A Little Caffeine Border & Center Set.










Here is our first project using this set.

Wouldn't this Coffee Travel Mug look great on your desk? Tawn was able to add her name to the coffee cup illustration by placing adhesive on a clear acrylic block and adhering her small letters to the block. The grossgrain ribbon is from Creative impressions and is a perfect match for this fun set. The paper is from Kaiser Crafts.

Now I could use a little caffeine myself!! So we need to know which of these stamp designs best fits you??? Can you imagine how excited Barb Schram will be when she sees this set!! I can't wait to see what creative way she'll inspire us with this set when it arrives

Guest Blogger Barb Schram

We are so excited to announce that Barb Schram will be our guest blogger this week. This week we will be posting twice a day - Barb Schram will be inspiring you with projects you can make with our current collection and our design team we will be showing you more sneak peeks of our 2009 Spring Collection.
You may remember Barb's work from the JustRite Stampin' Champion Contest. If you are not familiar with her blog Dream.Explore.Discover and her outstanding work....you will be adding her to your google reader list shortly. What we love about Barb is how she loves to think outside of the box and how she loves to make affordable thoughtful gifts. She is definitely addicted to JustRite Font - here are a few of our favorite Barb Schram JustRite Projects from 2008.. Wait til you see what she has designed for JustRite this week. Don't miss a day!!


Wouldn't this be fun to case and turn into a Valentine's Day Card!!



And as you will see she just loves 6 pt small letters...can't wait to see what she will do when the new 15 point letters arrive!!


She loves making personalized gifts and will be sure to inspire you everytime you visit her blog.


Barb tell us where you live. I live in, at this moment cold, snowy, west Michigan!

Tell us about your family.I have been married for 29 years and counting! We have two grown daughters and are expecting our first grandchild in a couple weeks!

How long have you been stamping? I have been stamping off and on all my life! I have always been involved in some type of craft hobby, but especially love incorporating stamping with paper crafting creations.

Where you do you do your stamping? At this time, I have turned a spare bedroom into a makeshift studio...I am taking notes on all the recent studio designs though, because my husband has promised a real studio when we move! Hopefully next year!

What is your must have stamping tool?This is a tough one...Lately, I have to have my daubers at hand, and the crop a dile, and...the list could go on and on!

H0w long have you been blogging?I have been blogging not quite a year! My family thinks this is especially interesting since the computer and I never really got along! LOL

Who are your 3 favorite designers that inspire you? I try to learn from each and every creation I look at...I feel they all have something to gain knowledge from. With that said, in no particular order, I so admire and look up to: Sharon Johnson, Debbie Olson, and Nichole Heady. I'm such a fan and learn so much each time I visit their blogs and view their work. Could you imagine working alongside them, all in the same room? A girl can dream!

Currently who is your favorite Paper Company? Currently, I reach for my new K & Company paper quite a bit, and I especially love Papertreyink's card stock and patterned papers.

Tell us besides JustRite, what are you currently addicted to??
Hmmm...probably ribbon, not that I use it a whole lot, I just collect it! And adhesive pearls!

What is your favorite paper crafting season and why.
We're blessed in Michigan to experience all four seasons, but fall is probably my favorite. I was married in the fall, I love the trees when the colors change, the fruit of the harvest, fall does not last long enough for me! The colors fall produces are gorgeous; all the variances of greens, oranges, yellows, and purples of the season are a terrific palette to choose from when stamping!

We will be back later tonight with more CHA Sneak Peeks!! And Projects we will be teaching at CHA!!

More Details on our Apron Tote Project

Tonight we are answering a few questions about the Apron Tote Box we will be teaching at CHA. Stop back in tomorrow to see our next Sneak Peek and to see who this week's guest blogger will be!!

What die did you use?

AccuCut Dies:
GrandeMARK Roller Die Cutting System
A7 Apron Invite (3-D) Crease Jumbo

The die we used to make the Apron Tote is from AccuCuts - the die needs to be used in conjunction with an AccuCut die cutting system- The die measures 9 1/2" x 11 3/4". For this design we used only the top of the die (it comes with a pocket). The tote stands 7" tall and the box can be adjusted to fit the contents. Our bases vary from 2" wide to 3" wide. The BBQ King Tote holds 2 full bottles of kitchen spices.

This is the same die that we used to create our Christmas Cookie Swap book as well as our Recipe Apron.
For Instructions on how to make the Cookie Swap Book click here




For those of you who would like to make a much smaller version, Sharon Harnist has designed a Apron Tote using the Spellbinder's Apron Die. You can find a complete tutoral on how to make the apron on Sharon's post on Ellen Hutson's Classroom by clicking here. To see Sharon's Christmas version visit her post by clicking here.

CHA Sneak Peek Day 3 ---What's Cookin'


Today we are revealing our 1 5/8" What's Cookin' Stamp Set!!







The pink area of the image denotes the border and the white area is the center.

What better way to show you this great new set than to show you the the Make-it/Take-it we will be teaching with this set at CHA. We call it our JustRite Apron Tote Box.


The Apron Tote box is created by diecutting two AccuCut Aprons and adhering them to a box that you create using a Scor-it Board. The box is the perfect size to hold lots of treats.


This set has colorable images and fun graphics.
And the possibilities for variations of this apron design are endless.



We love this set and you will to...this set includes the stamped image from our Christmas Cookbook from Day One. If your wheels are turning with the possibilities for this fun box wait til you see this next Apron....
We filled this Apron Tote Box with Barbeque Spices and wrote on the rim of our 1 5/8" stamper with our next introduction!!! 15 point Times New Roman Font. We know everyone loves their 6 point small letter set...but even we admit it is very tiny and hard to see if you have aging eyes. So we are introducing a new size - still with one leg on the back ...and you are gonna love it!! If you thought our stampers were versatile before - just wait to see what else we have planned for Spring!! See you tomorrow.

JustRite CHA Preview Day One

Thanks for your patience...our design team is hard at work finishing projects for our booth at CHA. As promised a day late (our apologies) here is the first Sneak Peek of what JustRite will be introducing this Spring.


Here is our first CHA Sneak Peak #1 - This Christmas CookBook was designed by Tawn Halacy using the newest addition to our Family, Lowercase Font in New Times Roman. The Lowercase font set consists of 330 Alphabet Characters in 95 pt, 50 pt and 25 point. Lowercase font will be introduced at CHA in both Times New Roman and Trompe Font.

The Details on how to make the Christmas Cookbook:The fun cooking paper and cooking charm are from the Cookbookin' Collection by Sulyn Industries. To create this Christmas Cookbook Tawn used the AccuCut Grande Marke Roller System to die cut all the pages of her cookbook in the shape of an oven mit using the Spatula-Oven Mitt Die(Item Number S1815-L) from AccuCut. The cookbook is almost the size of a traditional oven mitt. To bind the cookbook she used the Zutter binding system. To title the cookbook, Tawn selected letters in 95 pt and 50 pt letters from both the Uppercase and Lowercase New Times Roman Font Sets and designed her cookbook title using the largest block for our Rectangular Stamper Set.

Here is a sneak peak at a portion of a beautiful Valentine's Day project from Sharon Johnson- for all the details visit her blog No Time to Stamp



What's Cookin' - New 1 5/8" (Classic Circle I) set of 6 Borders and Centers.

The Sprinkle with Love and Spoonful of Laughter word border and the Oven Mitt designer center on the Christmas Cookbook are a little sneak peek of one image from our new What's Cookin' stamp set designed to fit in your 1 5/8" stamper. Yes!! JustRite is adding colorable images to their designer centers!! We will reveal more images from this fun set later in the week.



Tomorrow we will reveal the two guest designers who will be teaching with our consumer education team at CHA and give you a Sneak Peek at the first two projects you can make in the JustRite Booth if you are attending this years show. JustRite will be exhibiting in booth #4645.
