Today is JustRite's last June stamp set release preview, this gorgeous Seeds of Summer clear set:
I made a 3D envelope gift box that measures 4.75" x 3.50":
This set coordinates with Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles dies.
The box is a little over 3/4" deep and was cut with my Silhouette Cameo out of 12" Lily Bee double-sided patterned cardstock. Here's a view of the back:
I stamped the beautiful peony flower with Memento's new Toffee Crunch dye ink (it's lighter than Rich Cocoa) onto Neenah Natural White cardstock.
COPIC TIP: Stamping in a lighter ink color allows for a little bit more realistic looking flower, without harsh black lines. I colored the seed packet with these Copic markers (colors listed below):
The background was airbrushed with Copic YR21. These JustRite designers also have samples with this set to share today:

We're leaving Christmas behind for a bit and moving on to Paris, with today's JustRite new background stamp release -- Paris Background!
My youngest daughter has decided she wants to go to Paris one day, so I thought altering this dollar store 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" photo album cover would be a nice keepsake album for her, for some special 5x7 photos after she visits!
Luckily, the cover had a 2-1/4" recessed window opening that already had the pink frame around it, in just the perfect spot to highlight the crown/fleur de lis part of the stamp! Here's how it started out looking:
I stamped the background with black ink onto rustic cream cardstock and highlighted some words with Copic markers. Next, I cut out the 2-1/4" piece, colored it, and placed it in the window opening.
The spine was already black, so I just added the fleur de lis die cut to the top to accent it. I custom dyed the seam binding by coloring it a little with Copic RV55 marker and then adding some RV52 Various Ink Refill for some variation in the color. JustRite's Fleur De Lis Background was stamped with Rose Bud ink on the lower part of the album.
You can find more inspiration with this background stamp today, from these JustRite designers:
