I took a much needed break this morning and made up a few cards — and it was FUN!!!  It’s been WAY too long.  The NEW JustRite Stamps have been calling out to me and there are so many gorgeous NEW Spellbinders Dies that I just had to try out a few new things.  Here’s what I made:

The first card I made was a graduation card in very girly pink. It’s simple, but the fabulous detail near the bottom just makes it, I think, anyway!

The sentiments in this FAB set allow for birthday cards, well wishes, thinking of you, etc.  Many options in addition to grads.

I always prefer classy grad cards rather than cutesy, so I was SO HAPPY to see this set come out!

Here’s the list of supplies, and graphics of the stamp set and die set will be further down.

Stamps:  A JustRite Clear Set – Celebration Labels One & Bracket Borders One (BRAND NEW)

Spellbinders Dies:  A2 Bracket Borders One (BRAND NEW), Labels One (REDUCED!)

Ribbon:  Seam Binding – Baby Pink; bow made on Original Bow Easy

Prima Flowers:  A variety of flowers are available in this size.  Check out:  Avon Roses, Charme Roses, Encore, Laraine, Interlude (these are a bit larger), Mini Rose Stems, Godiva, Fairytale and Perles

Miscellaneous:  Kaisercraft Rhinestones – Black; 3D Foam Squares; VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

Cardstock:  SU Black, White and Pink Pirouette

Here’s that beautiful detail that was so fun and so easy to create.

The stamps and dies are linked above and will be shown further down.  I used one stamp and three dies to create this border, explained beneath product graphics.

Next I made a simple monogram duo — TOTAL SWOON over the NEW monogram set by JustRite.

For lack of better terminology, I LOVE this frame with “wings”.  It can be used either way — wings on top or wings on bottom.

Honestly, I was SO HAPPY to get a new monogram set.  The most favorite projects I have done over my stamping career have been monogram projects.  This NEW monogram set with beautifully scripted, simple letters is truly a wish come true.  The set is all inclusive.  It gives you the alphabet letters in a perfect size and a variety of frames plus a few lovely extras!  (Graphic further down)

And look — NO RIBBON.  That is a 3/16″ strip of black paper adhered with 1/8″ Scor Tape.

Super simple cards to make – minimal stamping, layering and die cutting!  Here’s the supplies used:

Paper:  Prima Lyric Collection (6×6 pad) plus white and gray cardstock

Stamps:  Graceful Monogram by JustRite

Spellbinders Dies:   Circle Nesties

Miscellaneous:  Kaisercraft Rhinestones – Light Pink; 1/8″ Scor Tape; VersaFine Onyx Black Ink; 3D Foam Squares, Versa Mark; Super Fine Embossing Powder – white; Heat Gun

Graceful Monogram – a clear set by Justrite

This beautiful monogram set will get a TON of use in my stamp room!!!  TOTALLY LOVE IT!!!

Celebrations Labels One & Bracket Borders One – a clear set by JustRite

This is the set I used for my pink graduation card above.  As you can see, it offers many more options as well beyond graduation.   And I LOVE the shaped border stamps that coordinate with the Spellbinders die set shown below.  SO EASY!!!  I used the border on the left that says “Celebrate”.

A2 Bracket Borders One – a die set by Spellbinders

What a gorgeous die set — and it coordinates with the stamp set above.

Also worth mentioning – these new border dies have registration marks on them to match up with the edges of your paper.  Makes it so easy to get it perfectly centered.

To make the border on my graduation card above I used 3 of the dies in this set of 7.

The black cardstock was cut with the plain bracket border on the far right.

The white cardstock was cut with the dotted bracket border (3rd from right).

The top inset cutouts were done with the yellow inset border on the left.

And once you are looking at beautiful borders — check out these NEW die sets, too — can’t WAIT to use them:

A2 Curved Borders One

A2 Scalloped Borders One

Grateful Heart Vintage Labels Two – a clear set by JustRite

Winged Vintages Labels Two and Three – a clear set by JustRite

Floral Vintage Labels Two – a cling set by JustRite

Grand Damask Background – a cling stamp by JustRite

This Background stamp gets another HUGE swoon from me!!!

All Background stamps (PRIOR to this release) are currently ON SALE!

And did you realize when the JustRite stamp sets have names of labels in their title — it is because that is the DIE SET that it matches up with — they try to keep it easy!

Here are the Labels Two and Labels Three die sets that coordinate with many of the above stamps.

Vintage Labels Two – a JustRite/Spellbinders co-branded die set

Vintage Labels Three – a JustRite/Spellbinders co-branded die set

And here’s a quick look at the many options with the Labels One dies.  It is a beautiful, classic shape that I just adore.  It will never go out of style.
