Today's JustRite newest May release stamp set is 3-1/4" round Smile:
I took the "Find Time to Laugh a Little" sentiment from this set literally and created an 8-inch real working clock!
Here's how it started out -- as a Target Dollar Spot find about 4-5 years ago:
I made this clock for my young girls, so I wanted something a little bright and fun -- not too formal or stuffy. So I covered the wooden clock with some October Afternoon Thrift Shop paper (I thought the some of the brightly colored words on it were appropriate for a clock, like "we do not remember days; we remember moments.") and painted the edges with black acrylic paint. Then I stamped a border from this stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Cream cardstock and die cut it with Spellbinders Classic Circle Nestabilities, for a center embellishment:
The very center of the clock is another piece of coordinating Thrift Shop paper. I stamped the sentiment at the #12 spot with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and die cut it, then layered it onto a Spellbinders black Floral Doily Accent die cut. Black pom-pom trim finishes the edges of the clock.
Thank goodness for generic white chipboard Thickers number stickers . . . they were easily colored black that I needed for this project, with Black 100 Copic marker:
Black pearls finish marking the numbers for the clock face. I know you won't want to miss the projects these JustRite design team members have with this set to share today -- they will really inspire you!
