Just Rite Blog Hop - Some things for a Coffee Lover :)

Good Morning Everyone (again!!)

Are you ready for some hopping?

Blog Hopping that is? Well, I am so excited to be part of a Just Rite stamps blog hop that Taylor VanBruggen has organized! You probably know the wonderful Stamp a Sweet Impression line, the Whimsical Wishes line and the Lasting Impression stamp line that Taylor has in her store - but she also has a ton of Just Rite stamps too!

I have been totally fascinated by the Just Rite system after seeing some of Taylor's wonderful projects and totally loved that you can create your own stamps with this system - from Monograms, to Wedding/Baby announcements to taylored ;) gift ideas! And speaking of gift ideas - here are two projects that I made with this fun stamp system!

I made two projects with the Caffeine Centers and Borders stamps of Just Rite from the Taylored Expressions store - one for my friend and the other for my MIL:

1. An under $5 Hostess gift :) (gotta love those!)
I love going over to a certain friend's house (you know who you are!) for fun game nights - and she happens to be a coffee lover :) so I thought it would be fun for Friday nite game nights- to bring a little thank you present over - a four pack of Frappucino's :) But just giving the present as is doesn't look very pretty. This is really a quick little makeover that I gave this Starbucks 4 pack - to make it look like a little more nice looking gift:


I covered the cardboard with some orange and then used a threading punch to cover the corners. I love this sentiment and ran it through my spellbinders - and popped it up in the center. I LOVE this sentiment: Caffeine and Friends - the Perfect Blend:

It didn't look finished without a little bottle top make over too! So, I also punched out some circles to put on the bottle caps - the sentiment reads: Make it a Grande!" - and to finish it - I ran some ribbon around it and tied a little bow for a finishing touch :)

I really love how this turned out - and love that i can give a nice looking gift without having to spend a lot of moola :)
Project Details: Paper: from the March KI and green from K and Company Ink: Chocolate Chip from SU! Stamps: JUst Rite Caffeine Centers and Borders Accessoresi: Ribbon stash, sponger threading punch from fiskars, spellbinders, circle punches from SU and CM.


2. The second project is a little coffee basket goodies for my MIL!

My Mother -in -law (MIL) loves a cuppa in the morning! And I wanted to give her a little fun sampler pack to use in her daily morning coffee routine so that she can decide which ones she likes the best - also added in a little coffee grinder, a scoop (on the ribbon for some accent) and also a sample of some chocolate covered treats. WHo doesn't like a little treat with their morning java?
I used the Times Roman font that the Just Rite system has (to see more font options - check out this link here) and spelled out the different kinds of coffee - this is just a little sampler pack - so its just enough for a cup of java and to figure out which one she likes to have more of :) .


and also to stamp a little tag for her with the sentiment: for Trudy attached to a little scoop - I LOVE this little scoop - I love making this personalized!

I used Taylor's latest sketch from her Friday Cupcake sketch challenge to make a coordinating card for my MIL. I flipped the sketch 90 degrees counter clockwise and I know all the circles are of even size - but I made my center one a little teeny bit bigger to fit with the stamps I wanted to use (tweaks are allowed right? :)

 I used the image from the Downtown Diva set that has a little cafe on it created a little scene :) I love this little cafe scene and used colors that I know that my MIL will like :)

Its so much fun to make gifts for the ones you love - especially when it is personalized :)

Paper: stash
Ink: Chocolate chip from SU!
Stamps: From both the Downtown Diva stamp set and the Just Rite stamps Caffeine Centers and Borders.
