Welcome to a second day of projects for JustRite Stampers' October release! Today I have a card using the new Lace Borders set, which I think will be a staple, easy addition to my card-making tools. I used three of the Lace Borders stamps on this card--two stamped on the patterned paper, and one stamped on pink cardstock and trimmed closely. The stamps are cling stamp with padding. After I trim mine, I stick them to a gridded acrylic block, making sure that straight edge lines up with the grid for placement help. Here I stamped in Versamagic and heat-embossed with detail white embossing powder.
Now just a note about the funny little square pattern in the lower left corner of the package: as part of JustRite's October Release they are introducing QR codes to their new packaging and their catalogs.
QR codes are popping up everywhere and you may have wondered what they were. What is a QR (Quick Response Code)? QR codes are pixelated squares that you can scan with a smart phone app. Scanning the QR code with your phone will bring you directly to a website or landing page. The JustRite QR Codes on the packaging and in JustRite's Catalog will link a stamp set to JustRite's Design Gallery for that set. Now you can scan the code with your phone to see what your favorite designers have created with a set before you purchase the set in your favorite store. You can use your smartphone to access the design gallery for your stamp set from your craft room when you are ready to use your set or from our mini flyers or catalogs when you are sitting in a car waiting to pick up your child from a sporting event!
Here is a smaller version of our Shabby Chic Labels Four QR code for you to play with if you have a smart phone--pretty neat!
You may already have a QR code scanner already on your phone - if you don't you can upload any of these apps - for your iPhone - Red Laser (free), NeoReader (free), Optiscan ($1.99) For your Android Phone - QR Droid.
Back to a few more card details: for the sentiment I used one of last month's release sets, Be Strong, and trimmed it with a Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Three. Patterned Paper is a Melissa Frances paper--Flora, PA361. The pearl detail is from Zva Creative, CR-04CB-120.
