Welcome to the 9th week of JustRite Stampers’ 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! Don’t forget that JustRite has some Christmas stamps in their newly released CLING line of stamp sets, too -- you can find them HERE. This week, the designers joining the JustRite design team is the Just Us Girls (JUGS) challenge blog design team!
For the month of November, we thought we would switch gears a little and throw in some holiday gift ideas using your JustRite stamps, so be watching for those, too, on November’s hops! And in celebration of JustRite’s 9th and 10th weeks of Christmas Blog Hops, they have a huge surprise for you -- take 25% off All JustRite Original Christmas Stamps now through November 15, with free shipping within the U.S. -- Don't forget to tell Santa!
So, speaking of gifts, I forgot to show you my set of Christmas letters/word all together that would make a wonderful gift for someone! So here it is (click on photos for a larger view):
And a little larger view. All Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather Mini Deck papers -- they made it easy to coordinate all of these projects! Each letter is approximately 3.50" tall and in its own 5" x 7" frame:
And for today’s blog hop project, I used the sweet snowman from JustRite's Old Fashioned Christmas set -- I don't think I have ever inked him up, isn't he sweet?!!
I stamped snowman with Tuxedo Black Memento ink directly onto an ivory Inchie Arts Twinchie and then colored him with these Copic markers:
I added Ivory Flower Soft to his hat and Black Diamond Stickles for the coal, for lots of dimension and sparkle!
A Spellbinders Lacey Square perfectly accents and fits the 2-inch Twinchie Square. Some beige seam binding ribbon ties up these gorgeous new Jovial papers from Basic Grey.
I didn't have just the right sized ivory button that I wanted to use, but had a white one, so I airbrushed it with Copic E30 so it would match!
Please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today, starting at the JustRite Inspiration Blog! I have another project over there, using JustRite’s brand new Spellbinders co-branded custom dies!

Love how your Noel set came out. Looks so good together. Your card is so adorable. Jovial is my favorite Christmas paper collection this year and you have color matched the snowman perfectly with it. Just so cute.
