A JustRite Note with Box
We attended a beautiful wedding this weekend for our niece and her new DH!!! The weather was just gorgeous, so all was well!!! We have company this week, so although I wanted to play today and get my *fix*, it needed to be quick, really quick. I was so pleased to see the TLC at SCS today was to make a Mini Pizza Box — that’s surely quick — and to go with it I decided to usea fewother sure-fired *quick fixes*!!! And those are a pre-inked stamper by JustRite, some Cuttlebug die cuts, and scored lines for interest using my Scor-It Mini. Here’s my project:
The Mini Pizza Box measures 4″ square and you can find the template and directions here. I made the scores on my full sized Scor-It and was done in a jiffy — fun box!!! To decorate the box top and make the cards, I just stamped the *Just a Note* sentiment on the bottom using one of my 2 X Stampersby JustRite. As you can see in the photo, I stamped the sentiment on the box top and the card front, while I used the musical notes on the other side of the 2 X Stamperfor the inside of the card, which is opened and on the bottom of the photo. I then usedmy Scor-ItMini toscore 6 lines, spaced 1/4″ apart each, across the panel to mimic music (I know, I put one too many lines – LOL), and then I used my musical notes Cuttlebug dies to make my notes. I ran them through my little Xyron X which made is so easy to adhere them. I decorated around my box with 2 scraps of unknown ribbon and I was done!!! This box will easily hold at least 8 of these little notecards. My cards are cut 3.75″ square for a perfect fit inside the box!!! Fun project.
I’ll just add one thing about my 2 X stampers— I have many of them and when I got them, I thought I would be using them for my Sunday School class (how handy being pre-inked) and to make other little projects for our church/ladies group, etc. In all honesty, I didn’t think beyond that to realize how QUICK and FUN they are to use for all my normal stamping projects. I was extremely impressed with the perfect impression received every time I stamped, and I love that there is a little coordinating image to go along with each sentiment — how PERFECT for quick, little projects!!! Since this is a busy week for me, I plan to be using more of my 2 X Stampersand other pre-inked stampsfor projects this week — so if you are interested, please check back in. (And when I went to the JustRite site to get my link, I was very surprised to see the great sale price they have these for right now — amazing!)
