JustRite Day 4 with Sharon Harnist – November Calendar

If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you’ll know how much I love making a monthly calendar (the link above is to my previous calendars). This page is 6-inches square and is displayed in a wooden stand on my desk. When I’m feeling industrious, I’ll go ahead and make a matching 6-inch scrap page in about the same format and put a favorite photo from the month on it. Then at the end of the year I already have a brag book all made up for a keepsake of the year! So even if you don’t have a need for a calendar, keep in mind this page could easily be reproduced as a scrapbook page just by omitting the calendar area and replacing it with a photo.

You can imagine how thrilled I was when JustRite came out with a wonderful Calendar Set in a beautiful font this year! Of course it’s perfect for my calendars AND for scrapbook page titles … and how about greeting cards – the monthly titles would work great for those, too!

Here, I stamped “November” right on my computer-generated calendar. The beautiful cardinal image is from JustRite’s Christmas Treasures 3-1/4” round set (who says a “Christmas image" can’t also be used for another time of the year)?!! What is great about JustRite’s products is that you are not limited to a certain shape. You have the ability to use the border, or not, the center image by itself – it’s your choice! Here, I definitely didn’t have the space for a 3-1/4” image on my calendar and it would have overpowered the rest of the design. So I chose to just use the center image.

You are also not limited to using the 3-1/4” round stamper shown above that this cardinal image would normally fit on. If, for example, you’d like to use the image with a stamp positioner, that’s hard to do with a round stamper. But the image fits perfectly onto the Horizontal Wood (Rectangle) Stamper which CAN be used with a stamp positioner! Or if you’d like to add a custom sentiment or monogram there on the Rectangle Stamper along with the cardinal image, you could do that, too. The possibilities and combinations are endless with JustRite’s innovative interchangeable products!

After stamping the image, I colored it with these Copic markers:

After coloring, I die cut the image with Spellbinders Labels One die and airbrushed the background (with BG13) while the image was still in the die – that’s what gives the nice crisp white border around the edge of the die cut.

Some machine stitching around the edge of the page, buttons & ribbon complete my calendar. Can you believe November is just around the corner?!!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my final project of the week … hint: you just might get to see a sneak peek of a new product that will be debuting next week!

Yes, actually I recently have been getting my Christmas card mojo into action. I usually make about 80 hand-stamped cards. I came up with the design, now I just have to begin the assembly line process and start stamping.

Just in case you haven't gotten your Chirstmas Mojo yet... Michele Kovack will be guest blogging this week with 5 Days packed full of more Christmas Projects you won't want to miss. Michele is known for her vintage shabby chic designs and today she has used JB 08760 The Christmas Treasures Set to create these oh so Vintage Christmas Cards:

So here is Michele and her fun vintage creations:I love that the images in this set are large and become center stage on the card! I inked the sentiment in blue on a grey piece of Memory Box paper. It has an aged feel to it which I liked! The outer portion was stamped in grey and carefully cut with scissors. I didn't want it to blend in too much with the background so I backed it using my Spellbinder's pinked Nestibility.

I layered it on top of my cute snowman Memory Box paper. I slipped a piece of white tulle underneath image and glued everything down. I tied the tulle into a know and added a crystal beaded snowflake on top of it. Since I love anything that sparkles, I added glitter around the sentiment as well as rhinestones!

The second card was not done in very traditional Christmas colors. I found this piece of creamy snowflake paper which I think is by Basic Grey and kind of used that for inspiration. The image was also from the Christmas Treasure's set. It was stamped in Versamark on chocolate brown paper and then sprinkled with dark brown embossing powder. After heating it up, I cut it into a circle with my Nesties. The outer sentiment was stamped on Kraft cardstock in Versamark and sprinkled with gold powder. To make this pop a bit more I used a new pendant die from Spellbinders to layer the circles on. I rounded the corners of the card and added a simple bow.

Stop back in tomorrow for more Christmas Inspiration.
