I used the Pure Luxury Ocean Mist and PL Lemon Drop cardstock for my card. The flowers from the Spring Florals stamp set were stamped with White ink onto the PL Ocean Mist cardfront and the PL Lemon Drop cardstock was adhered to the bottom.

I added a strip of PL Green Apple cardstock to the PL Lemon Drop cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Three silver rhinestones were added to either side of the sentiment for a bit of bling.

The photo above is a better view of the flowers stamped in white ink.

Where do I start with describing this fabulous product and what more can I say about it that the rest of the Stamper’s Dream Design Team hasn’t already said?

First off, I want to remind everyone that Michelle’s Blog Candy (a JustRite C-45 Monogram Stamper ) is still open until Sunday….here’s the link: Blog Candy

If you read the other DT member’s posts then you know that the basic kit comes with the monogram stamper (which includes a reversible pre-inked black pad and the other side is dry so you may ink it with the color of your choice), four border designs, and two sizes of interlocking Times Romans fonts. You also get a handy storage box to store your stuff in….though if you end up getting all of the accessories then they don’t fit in the one box. LOL!

Initially I only had time to make once sample, but last night I was able to whip up a second one to show the versatility of the fonts.

Here’s my first sample – a mini composition notebook.

All supplies (except for the cardstock and notebook) can be found at Stamper’s Dream. They include: C-45 Monogram Kit; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Cuttlebug Folder; Adhesive Pearls; Neutral Art Flowers; May Arts Ribbon; and Nestabilities;

The above project shows how the JustRite stamper system can be used to create monograms, whereas the next project uses just the fonts to create a custom sentiment.

I have details on this card that I’ll post seperately for lack of time and space in this post, so I’ll skip to the good stuff.

JustRite recently released some new products (some of which are already available at Stamper’s Dream) in addition to their “old” products.  There really isn’t anything old about them, they just aren’t what’s newest. That said, all of the JustRite products jumped up in price a bit on Sept. 1st – BUT Michelle still has all of the “old” products in her store at the old price until her next shipment arrives, so head over there now to get it before it goes up in price!

One last thing….don’t forget to check Laurie Schmidlin’s blog tomorrow for projects and Tosh Leyendekke’s on Saturday!

Aren’t the Fluffles images cute? When I placed an order from Stamper’s Dream last week, Michelle surprised me with this Fluffles image – she’s just the sweetest!

Also, there’s some big news at Stamper’s Dream….read below to find out what it is!

I stamped Fluffles onto the white cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored it with Copic markers.

The patterned paper was created using the Textile Cuttlebug folder, though I think the Swiss Dots folder would have coordinated better, but I forgot that I had it. I used my Inking the Negative Technique to apply the white ink to the gray cardstock and then I sent it through my cuttlebug with just the B and C plates to squish it flat again. I’ll give more detailed direction on Thursday or Friday.

Four little pewter pearls add a little bit of charm to the corners of the patterned paper, and I also added some paper piercing below it for more depth.

Finally, I mounted the Fluffles image onto the cardfront with mounting tape.
