JustRite Wedding for CHA
CHA is rapidly approaching and I’m so exicted!!!! I’m going and I can hardly believe it!!!! For those who may not know, CHA stands for Craft and Hobby Association and their Summer Convention and Trade Show is being held in Chicago next week, Friday through Sunday, July 18 – 20. And to answer the question I keep getting — NO, Flourishes does not have a booth there, but maybe one of these days!!!! Now, wouldn’t that be something!!! But both Jan Marie and I will be there shopping our hearts out for Flourishes, along with Susan Roberts, one of our fabulous Design Team Members. Can’t wait to see what we find to fill our shelves with!!! Fun, fun!!!
I do, however, have one little job at CHA that has me SO excited!!! You all know how I love using my monogram stampers by JustRite — well, I will be one of the demos working at the JustRite booth — how fun is that!!! And wait until you hear who all the other demos are — I’llhave the schedule at the end of this post. All I know is that I’m going to have a hard time tearing myself away from their booth!!!! LOL!!! Anyway, here’s my project, along with a few extras I made to go along with it.
What I’ll actually be doing as the demo for JustRite at CHA is the bridesmaids dress on the right. Both the dress and tuxedo are favor boxes cut by AccuCut. How fun and easy they are toput together!!!! The monogrammed CHERISH is one of the new releases by JustRite — oh, just wait until you see ALL they have coming out to go with the stampers you all already have — you won’t believe it, you truly won’t!!!! I used Petite Circle Nestabilities to cut and emboss my monogram tags. The C-45 makes it so quick to mass produce these tags in the event you may be doing a real wedding or other large project.
This bride has her table settings all set to go with the favor boxes and place cards — aren’t they just the most gorgeous things!!! The frame for the place card was made by cutting a rectangle of white, then just cutting the center opening with a Long Rectangle Nestability, and adhering the frame onto the black card. Names can easily be written with the Inkksentials Opaque White Pen.
The groom’s tux is stamped, tone on tone, in black withthe Damask background stamp. His shirt was embossed easily using the Scor-It, black Pearls were added for buttons, and a tiny flower, folded into quarters was attached with a black brad. The tux, shirt and bowtie were all done on the AccuCut, as was the dress. And, of course, all monogram tags are done with the monogram stamper by JustRite.
The dress and place card were stamped with the flourish stamp in Wedding Essentials, gone over with the Quickie Glue Pen, and covered with Dazzling Diamonds. The dress has a Black Sheer Ribbon belt. Such FUN to make these!!!!
This bride is also ready with the cards requesting her bridesmaids to serve and her Save the Date announcements.
What a gorgeous bridesmaid! She is from Wedding Party, colored in with Copics and adorned with pearly colored Pearls. Her dress bodice was colored with a black Copic, gone over with the Quickie Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds. The Will You Serve sentiment is from Wedding Essentials.
Again, continuing in the same theme. The sentiment, Save the Date, the rings and the flourish are all from Wedding Essentials. A pretty self-explanatory card. And I’ll tell you, making cards and projectslike these — with the flourishes and glitter — are just my all time favorites!!! They have class, elegance, eye-appeal and, best of all — they hardly take any time at all!!! Now, THAT I like!!!
Now, back to CHA and some important things to know — if you’re going to be there, PLEASE come to see all of us at the JustRite booth and do some fun make-n-takes. There will be 9 different make-n-takes!!! JustRite will be located in Booth #3309 and has 32 new products to introduce — can’t wait!!! Here’s the schedule of fun events planned:
Friday, July 18 — 9 – 11 a.m. — MICHELLE WOODERSON (Mish Mash)
Friday, July 18 — 1 – 3 p.m. — SHARON JOHNSON (notimetostamp) (that’s me!)

Sharon, My group’s celebrity search at CHA on Friday was “JustRite!” It was a pleasure to meet you at CHA on Friday! You were such a good sport letting us have our picture taken with you! Loved doing the awesome bride’s dress make and take! Thank you.

Hi Sharon, this is a gorgeous set! I know it’s been a while since you did this but I was wondering if you could answer a question for me about a couple of the elements since I’m kinda new to this and I’m using some of your ideas as inspiration for my wedding invites.
I know you mention that you used copics on the “Will You Serve” card. But the flourishes look like they are something other than just black. How did you get that color effect.
Thanks
Felica
Anyone know how to do things like this?
