I arrived home last night to a big box of new JustRite products! I tried to contain my excitement until after Jon’s birthday dinner, but promptly ripped into the package when we got home! You can see all of the new products in our Fresh Out of the Oven category at the Store. Today I decided to use two of my favorite new items… the 2″ Double Border Stamper with a Bonus font and center and the Celebrations Demi Phrases. The new 2″ block allows you to use your 1 5/8″ centers and borders and have an additional border around the outside to write whatever your heart desires. This is where the Demi Phrases come in handy! These are half-written phrases and you can fill in the other half with the bonus 15pt. font that is included with the new 2″ block. I used the half “You’re in our thoughts today” and filled in the other half with “Hope you get well soon”. Here’s a close up of the block so you can see how I added the sentiment. I also trimmed my center to avoid getting ink on the outer portions of the stamp. I stamped the image and sentiment combo in Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored it with Copic markers. I decided to add some Lemon Flower Soft and Summer Flower Soft to the flowers in the vase. I’ve been getting lots of questions about Flower Soft lately and today I have some answers for you. The question I get most often is, “How do I apply the Flower Soft?” I would suggest using a container (like a paper or plastic bowl) and dumping your entire pot of Flower Soft inside. Then sift through the Flower Soft with your fingers until the clumps are gone and you just have small sprinkles. Then apply the Flower Soft glue to your project. The fine tip allows you to get into small spaces, but it can cover large areas too. Sprinkle a generous amount of Flower Soft over the glue and tap the excess back into your container. There are so many more things you can do with Flower Soft so I encourage you to watch this very informative Flower Soft Video. The Product Focus Team at Splitcoast also posted their opinions and advice regarding Flower Soft today. You can check out their reviews here and the gallery of Flower Soft projects here. After fussing with the image I finished off the card with a combination of Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie and Scenic Route patterned papers, lemon grosgrain, and a green button from my stash.

I hope you’re still hanging in there, because you don’t want to miss this! We’re offering 10% off individual pots of Flower Soft at the TE Store through Friday, March 27th! So get your shop on for the new JustRite goodies and fabulous Flower Soft!
