Day 5 with Becca Feeken – Never Lose Your Recipes Journal

What a bang up week!! I’ve tried to create totally different things this week from cute to elegant, cards to 3-D projects which leads me to round out the offerings with my selection for today. My week wouldn’t be complete without offering a book. I’m a total book fanatic and have journals of many types – sketch journal, quotes journal, prayer journal, coloring journal, challenges journal, knitting journal, I could go on. Just when I thought I had it covered and there was no other kind of journal I could create – JustRite creates a Recipe Set with 9 Borders and Centers!

Ya know, I admire people who can keep up with a note card or recipe card…it’s a hopeless cause for me. I take the card out, and it never finds its way back. Bingo! Time for a Recipe Journal for me. It can live with my cook books and then when I go to find the recipe – it will be in the Recipe Journal where I can find it.

So, presenting…my new Recipe Journal.

There are 9 divider pages to correspond with the JustRite Recipe Set Borders and Centers.
Come with me while I show you the steps I took to make it.

As shown below, I pulled together the papers I wanted to use and cut them to the following dimensions:
-Nine double sided papers for dividers, cut 5.5” wide by 8.5” high (these are We R Memory Keeps – Grandma’s Kitchen Collection)
-Two pieces of chipboard for front and back cover, cut 7” wide by 8.75” high (mine is from the back of an art tablet.) I also needed design paper to cover the chipboard – 4 sides.
-A quantity of white cardstock, cut 5.5” wide by 8.5” high

As shown below, I adhered design paper to all four sides of the chipboard.
Using the same design papers as I set aside for my dividers and using Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, I cut 18 circles – 9 pairs. For nine of the circles I stamped them prior to cutting them out. For the tabs I manually spelled out the same words that are on the stamps in the JustRite Recipe Set and set them using the JustRite Times New Roman 50 point font and the JustRite Wood Stamper 2 3/8” Set.

I cut one additional circle to use later as a template and inside that circle I cut another hole with a 1 ½” punch.
Using the template, I traced a circle onto my stamped tab at the opposite end of the stamped words. I did that for all 9 tabs.

Holding the pair of tabs together I lined up the penciled outline of the small circle with the inside of my punch and punched.
Then as shown below, I took my punched tab and lined it up on my divider page and lightly traced a circle to show where I would ultimately place the windowed tab.



Next with the same 1 ½” punch I punched out the same area that I just traced.



Once the whole is punched, I was able to mount my windowed tab, as shown below.



Next, using the JustRite 1 3/16” Wood Mount and the JustRite Recipe Set, I stamped the recipe stamp that matched the stamped words on my tab. I stamped through the window onto the next blank page that occurs in the journal – see below. I did this for all 9 tabs



With covers done, pages cut and tabs applied to dividers, I put the book in order and bound it with my Bind-it-All

My last step was to add a Chipboard tag to the front of the journal. On the tag I stamped Recipe Journal.

Today Becca has an exquisite set of baby cards to share with us. These will be a perfect addition to your card stash.

The Elegant Baby

Who doesn’t like to make baby cards? I wanted to make some elegant options instead of the normal pink and blue so I selected cream/gold and white/silver palettes to work with. When creating the small baby buggy, I knew it would be the perfect place to show off the new 2 3/8” stamper paired with the small but versatile 15 point alphabet. Because of the size, the letters fit perfectly in the bottom part of the buggy.

The buggy is made by cutting a Spellbinders Standard Circle Large in half and then the hood is made by turning a half circle on a 90 degree angle. The wheels are made by stacking the circles from two punches. The handle is a swirl taken from Spellbinders Doodle Parts. The scalloped trim is cut from a Martha Stewart Edger.

The words were embossed stamped with a Versamark pad and either gold or silver embossing powder. It was well worth the time to stamp and emboss the words before cutting them out.

Here are the items I used – The JustRite 2 3/8” Wooden Stamper Set and the Justrite Times New Roman 15 point font that comes with the JustRite 2” Wooden Stamper set.

Day 3 with Becca Feeken- Ready-to-Go Card Kit

Today Becca has the perfect solution for how you can get organized and really have a JustRite Stash of Cards designed in this easy to make - Ready-to-Go Card kit. We can all only aspire to be this organized!! Becca your Project Rocks!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!

JustRite Red Ready-to-Go Card Kit

I am seriously one of those persons who makes cards but never has any simple cards to send. Some time ago I put together a kit of blank cards and medallions stamped with different occasions – all I had to do was pick my card then pick my medallion . . .Easy!! I used them up quickly, so that kit has long been gone; it was one of my most favorite projects. So I basically recreated that kit again. I chose the colors red, cream and black to do the card set, mostly dictated by the basket they’ll be kept in.


I made four sets of very generic cards with low profiles so that they could fit in my basket. The separate containers are stocked with the medallions that can be used on the card. Mounting tape has already been applied, so when it is time to use them, all I’ll have to do is peel the liner off of the back and pop the medallion onto a card.



It was pure serendipity that these acrylic containers I have in my studio fit in to the basket perfectly. They hold all the supplies. The center container is pre-tied bows. (I told you this has to be quick!!)

One container holds various monograms, done in multiples.



The last container holds various occasions done in multiples.
Here is what the set looks like with some of the medallions mounted.



Here’s a peek inside! The red basket is a silverware basket that I picked up from the craft store – I’ve seen these everywhere.

The medallions were made using JustRite 10 Designer Centers and Borders and the
JustRite Damask Borders Set as seen below:

Kit Recipe:
Stamps: JustRite 10 Designer Centers and Borders, JustRite Damask Borders Set , 1 5/8 " Wooden Stamper

Now on to Day Two with Becca Feeken!!

JustRite Desk Garden Flags

While I was shopping in Hobby Lobby in the garden section I came across the cutest flags that you put outside in your garden. Now, I know what you’re thinking – how could I possibly do anything with those? Well these were teensy, weensy little flags. In fact, they are 2 ½” wide by 4” tall!

So I started thinking, those don’t have to be wasted in the garden. I can make my own little garden to sit on a desk and put the flags in that garden. So I got some containers and simply filled them with grass. Then I took away the fabric flags and made my own. This can basically be done for any occasion. They can be made in a series or one stowed on a desk with a little gift to announce the occasion.

Here are the individual flags:

For the project I mainly used the new JustRite Demi Phrases and paired them with Designer Centers and Borders. All the center wording was done in Times New Roman Upper Case Font and Times New Roman Lower Case Font in a 50 point size.

Supply List:
Stamps: JustRite Demi Phrases, JustRite Borders and Centers, JustRite Times New Roman Uppercase, JustRite Times New Roman Lower Case
Paper: The Paper Company - Blonde Columns, Solar White, K & Co Madeline, K & Co Wild Raspberry

Other: Styrofoam, paper grass. three tin flower pots, small flag stakes.

Day One with Becca Feeken- Wanderful Words of Inspiration

We have an exciting week planned for you at the JustRite blog!! First we have 5 Days of projects from Becca Feeken and on Tuesday we are having our first ever JustRite Design Team Blog Hop.

Today Becca has a fun project that recyles bubble wands!!

Wanderful Words of Inspiration

I’ve always been fascinated by the bubble wands you see in Michaels. I was tempted to buy them, but I never really knew what to do with them. Then I had this idea kicking around in my head to recycle them. After playing around with them I figured out that there’s room inside to accommodate a piece of paper rolled around the stem of the wand. I thought it was a great way to give someone lots of different messages – words of wisdom , inspirational thoughts, number wands to read everyday when counting down to a special event. So I made two sets of wands – and using the Harmony Rectangular Stamper set, found it was oh so easy to put my own verses of text on each of the papers – they are wonderful!

Here are the quick steps on how I created them –

I set up my text using the Rectangular Stamper and 25 pt Trompe Script upper and lower fonts as seen below. For my first wand I stamped this verse- "Let love rule your heart, logic rule your mind and faith rule your soul" on a small piece of paper sized 3 inches tall by 4 ½ inches wide.
The next step is to tape the stamped paper to the wand. I did this with 3” wide postal tape and cut it about 2” long. The tape is applied to the upper left corner of my stamped panel.

The tape will cover the stem of the wand but not the head. By taping this way, the wand cannot pull back through on its own. Don’t use too much tape though – it will extend into your stamping.

Then roll the wand down the length of paper, evenly and tightly. Optionally – after a full roll, you can place a piece of red sticky tape so that when the stamped panel is unfurled you can’t see the postal tape.

Insert the rolled stamped panel into the tube and decorate the top with ribbon!!

These square containers are some that I had in my studio and it was very convenient that they fit 16 of the tubes! Then decorate the top or the side as you will. In this case I used the new 2 3/8” stamper. I used a border from the 10 Designer Centers and Borders. I clipped mine so that it would fit on the stamper but be very careful. On some of the designs there gaps where you can snip and when returned to regular use, the cut cannot be seen – do this at your own risk.

I stamped the border, cut with Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and mounted it on a frame cut with Spellbinders Labels Three. Then I put the words “Wanderful Words” in proper case using Times New Roman Font – uppercase and lower case. This was cut with Spellbinders Standard Circles Large as well. The pink circle was cut with a round circle punch.

I can see more sets of these in my future!
