Just Rite monogram

This is a card for a friend that is getting married this month.  They are keeping both last names, so according to monogram etiquette this is how the monogram should be shown.

I used my Just Rite C45 with a damask border and the small & medium size letters.  Because the border fits on the stamper with the opening in a north/south orientation (its usually used for only a single letter monogram) and the letters go on the stamper in an east/west orientation (because of the grooves on the stamper) I had to stamp the border twice, I cut the center out of one and used it as a mask.  I removed the border stamp from my C45, put the letters on and stamped them into the opening.  Believe me, it took more than one attempt to get it right, but I am happy with my results.

I'll probably find an easier way to do it somewhere now!!

thanks for looking!

notecard set

I made this notecard set for a friend of a friend who is a purse designer.

Great gift idea!

Thanks to Lisa Johnson of Poppy Paperie.  If you haven't visited her blog you should, her work is amazing.  I found this project there and decided to give it a try.  I am quite pleased with my results.  The back of each of the ovals is a magnet, punched from the freebie ones that you get in the mail and my husband insists on saving!  To remove the advertisement on the front I carefully pried up a  corner and then heated it with my heat gun to help me peel off the paper.  I created the monogram with my JustRite Stamper - I am seriously loving that product - and punched it out with my pink scallop punch from Marvy.  I computer generated the quote and used the same punch on that piece.  To try and make it a little more durable, I put paper glaze over both pieces before I glued them to the magnet.

Now that I have the hang of it all, I think these will make really great little gifts and we all know the holidays are coming!

enjoy!
