Polished to Perfection

Introducing Birthday Celebrations

Well the weather here was slightly warmer today- still in the single digits but far better than 30 below right!!  But there were plenty of snow flurries again.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that the next snow storm moves to the right and out to sea or I will be sitting at the airport waiting for the snow to leave so I can fly to CHA!!  

The good news is that it is still looks like Spring in my studio!!  I had so much fun with this 6x 6 pad of paper and have loved this Cathedral Window Quilt paper since I first spotted it on someone's blog.  It reminds me of the beautiful handmade quilts my grandmother made me for my first house.  I came accross them when we were moving-- not exactly quilts that my boys would appreciate.  But handling them reminded me of my grandmother who taught me how to crochet when I was five. My Mom swears the first words I uttered when I was a child were -- "I'm bored"... perhaps the first sign that I was destined to be a designer and papercarfter. 

 
 
Today's introduction " Birthday Celebrations takes your favorite 3 1/4" stamp and gives it a new fresh configuration -- wide borders with 2" centers, which now means you can mix and match any of your 2" round sets with these fun borders!

 

 As you can see I choose the border that looks like a flower or pehaps the sun... HINT!! HINT!! Mother Nature!!

 

 Happy Birthday to You (Designed by Kellie Fortin)

Introducing Kindness Stamps to coordinate with the new Spellbinders Labels Twenty Dies

Tonight on the JustRite Blog I am revealing our 3rd Cling set that coordinates with some of the new Spellbinders Dies released over the last 8 days.  My favorite flowers are Blue Hydrangeas so I am absolutely in love with this new Blue Hydrangea Paper in the Tim Coffey Cottage Garden- K&Company 12 x 12 Stack. 

The Kindness Stamp Set coordinates with Spellbinders newly revealed 2011 Winter release die set Labels Twenty revealed on Ashley Newell's blog over the weekend! You are going to love this set.  The small label image is designed to coordinate with Labels Twenty- die #3 -- the blank circle in the label is designed to fit all your 1 5/8 centers and borders and your 2" centers.  The large label is designed to coordinate with die Labels Twenty die- #4 and Classic Petite Oval Nestabilities-Lg Die #1.

 

I created my card using both Kindness  labels with Romantic Sentiment Centers .  I die cut the Romantic Sentiment center with the new s4-316 Heart Circles-Die #4.

Introducing Friendship Blooms - Coordinates with Labels Eighteen and Blossom Three

What an exciting week in blogland!!  When Spellbinders named their Blog Frenzy - to DIE FOR!!  They were't kidding!!  I have been drooling at their new dies all week.  If you haven't check out the Frenzy yet - you should start at DAy One on Debbie Olson's blog.

Tonight over at the JustRite Blog, I am introducing the 2nd Cling Stamp Set from our February Cling Release- Friendship Blooms. 

 

Friendship Blooms coordinates with two dies from the Spellbinders 2011 CHA Winter Release - Labels Eighteen and Blossoms Three -- here is a peek at the 2 new dies:

 

 The dies measure:

S4-312 - Blossoms Three
MSRP: $24.99
Measurements:
1: 1⅛″
2: 1⅞″
3: 2⅝″
4: 3¼″
5: 4⅛″

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The dies measure:

S4-310 Labels Eighteen
MSRP: $24.99
Dimensions: 
1: ¾ x 1″
2: 1⅜ x 1¾″
3: 2 x 2½″
4: 2⅝ x 3⅜″ 
5: 3¼ x 4¼″ 

For my card I used the image that coordinates with the Labels Eighteen Die in the Friendship Blooms set plus the larger Labels Eighteen stamp image from our Fancy Labels Cling Set.  What I love about all these frames that match Labels Eighteen Nestabilities is that they also match our JustRite Original (Ribbed) Centers.  The Fancy Labels images coordinate with the oval centers from our Large Oval Stamper and the Labels EIghteen image from this set coordinates with all JustRites 1 5/8" centers.  How cool is that! 

That's right JustRite just became even more versatile!!  Now you can mix and match JustRite Original and JustRite Cling to create stunning cards in only a matter of minutes.
