JustRite ATC Box and Card

Edited to Add: Oopsie! I completely forgot to add my card to this post so here it is! I used the same "With Love" JustRite stamp as I did yesterday but this time created a card using it!


It is Just Rite week at Stamper's Dream. All week the fabulous designers from the Dream Team are showcasing cards and projects. You can find the line up HERE....and you can also enter to WIN a JustRite Christmas Stamp Ensemble and the Classic Circle Stamper III just by answering a question on Michelle's blog! Today, Cindy and I are showing our JustRite Creations so be sure to check out her blog too!

For my project today, I created an ATC (Artist Trading Card) box. I have lots of ATCs lying around from different swaps I joined and I wanted a nice place to keep these little treasures created by my stamping friends. I used a wooden box that I found at Hobby Lobby and painted it an off white (Vanilla) color. NOTE: Be sure to remove hinges before painting!

After painting it, I added some designer paper from My Mind's Eye (Out & About collection) and some rubons. I added some dew drops to the flower centers and then on the top I added the monogram flower. For this project, I used the Monogram Self Inking Stamper in Deluxe Storage Box.



Here is a close up shot of the monogram on the top of the box.





When you open the box, there are different dividers that I created using some red cardstock and matching dp. I used the same border and lettering as I did on the front to tie it together. The separators divide the cards into sections according to theme "Birthday" "Baby" and "Love" so that the cards are easy to find.

Materials used: Stamps-Monogram Self-Inking Stamper in Deluxe Storage Box (JustRite Stampers); real red classic stamp pad (SU!); box (Hobby Lobby); Vanilla paint (Anna's); Chipboard circle (SU!); ribbon (SU!); flowers; Robin's Nest dew drops; cardstock-red, white(SU!); Designer paper-Out & About Collection (My Mind's Eye); Modge Podge; Rub-Ons (SU!); glue dots; dimensionals (SU!); scalloped circle punch (SU!).

Variations on this box are endless---you can use it for special cards you receive and want to keep forever, you can create a recipe box or even a birthday box with month dividers.
I hope you enjoyed this project. You can find lots of JustRite products at Stamper's Dream Store.

***NEXT WEEK--I am celebrating my ONE YEAR BLOGAVERSARY AND 200,000 HITS all at once....so you KNOW what that means--LOTS of giveaways.

I love the box. I also want to tell you how unselfish you are too honor your Grandmother with such a neat stamp set; and also, the cards that were sent to the home where they cared for her. Everyone would not think to do this as you have done.

dpkennedy said...
