Rubbernecker Release & Blog Stroll

We have another exciting release and Blog Stroll for you today. Rubbernecker has just released a gorgeous silhouette floral set with sentiments, a Teddy Bear Inchie set and a cheesecloth background. You will want to start at the Rubbernecker Blog if you happened to come here first. Stroll through the Design Team’s blogs, check out the awesome sampling of cards they have for you today and of course pick up the key word phrases at each stop for a chance to win the set of your choice! My key phrase today is Cheesecloth Be sure to visit Sherry next for more eye candy and the next clue.

My card today features Flower Silhouettes 468. The flower stamp and foliage were colored with Copic markers and misted with Rubbing Alcohol before putting the rubber to paper. I combined colors so they would blend slightly when misted.

The Fern Background is also available from Rubbernecker and one of my favorites. I took a photo of the finished background before the layering so you can see the results. It was created by inking up the background with Adirondack Pigment in Juniper and then sponged with Adirondack Pigment/Terra Cotta. I misted the inked rubber to let the colors meld together before stamping. You won’t want to get it too wet, I use Ranger’s Mini Misters. They are perfect for water, rubbing alcohol, reinkers, perfect pearls……..

Stamps: Flower Silhouettes 468, Fern Background

Ink: Distress/Black Soot, Tea Dye Adirondack Pigment/ Juniper, Terra cotta

Copic Markers/ E33 Sand, Y28 Lionet Gold, R08 Vermillion, E09 Burnt Sienna. R22 Light Prawn, G24 Willow, BG75 Abyss Green

This card is pretty self explanatory. I cut the bright blue frame using my 12” Fiskars paper cutter. The grass was just created by cutting a strip of cardstock to fit under the frame and is about 3/4” wide. I used my Tim Holtz scissors to finely cut the blades of grass and then ruffled the edges. The soccer Dad looks like he is having a ball, so that is the sentiment I went with. Oh, the net and ball behind him is from the Soccer Kids set.

Kind, Caring, Dad…………

It’s Wednesday and that means it’s another Wacky Wednesday challenge day.  This week, Joan is challenging us to make a Fathers Day card.  I chose to add a shipping tag to my card using 7gypsies 6x6 gypsy market papers on the top portion with flourishes stamped on the bottom portion.  The man is stamped on acetate and layered over the top.  Actually, the stamp is by KK Originals and is titled Isabelle.  So, I am guessing it is supposed to be a female but I thought it looked like a guy.  The Kind and Caring definitions are cardstock stickers by Pebbles Inc.  I added a spiral clip and a hinge clip by Tim Holtz.  The alpha brads are from an unknown source.  The flourishes stamped on the card base were stamped with Distress Black Soot ink and misted with water to soften them into the cardstock and the wet edges were sponged in black as well.  The tag is raised on foam dimensional tape.   

Stamps:  Flourish Set 463, Isabelle 6607-M KK originals

Paper:  Prism Blush Red Dk, Black.  Medium shipping Tag, 7gypsies 6x6 gypsy market

Ink:  Stazon Jet Black, Distress Black Soot & Fired Brick

The Faux Metal bamboo layer was created by cutting a lightweight coaster to the desired size, pressing it into an embossing ink pad and then Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel.  I used a melting pot to heat/melt the powder because the large particles don’t fly all over the place like they do using a heat gun.  3 layers of UTEE were added and then the Bamboo stamp inked with Stazon Jet Black was pressed in to the hot layers.  The stamp will stick to the UTEE.  Just leave it and let the whole thing cool for a few minutes before seperating the rubber from the embossed chipboard. 

 Stamps:  KK Originals Solid Bamboo & Life 

Life is a Journey sentiment from Scratches & Stains set

Paper:  Prism Spring Willow Medium, Intense Orange, Intense Yellow, Birchtone Dark.  7gypsies Market 12 x 12 papers

Ink:  Embossing, Stazon Jet Black

Accessories:  UTEE Gold, Wired Organdy, Chinese Coin Charm, Foam Dimensional Tape, Melting Pot.

Wacky Wednesday #12 Inchies!

Candy is the challenge hostess today at the Rubbernecker Stamp Blog and the challenge is to use inchies on your card or project. Have you seen the fun inchie sets Mr. Rubbernecker has released lately? I am combining the inchie challenge with the Featured Stamper challenge from this week on Splitcoast. The FS is our very own Red Hot Momma Joan Ervin! Her gallery at SC is a treat to look through, I chose to case the card found HERE.

You know, I just realized that my cards are always more neutral shades. I love color and Red is my favorite. You would think I would gravitate to these colors with my work. The colors today came about because I was thinking of a Latte or coffee w/ cream. Here’s the details:

Stamps: Coffee & Tea Inchies 424

Ink: Distress Walnut Stain. Alcohol Inks/Currant, Mushroom, Gold

Paper: Prism Tawny Medium, Suede Brown Dk., Sugar Cream. 7gypsies Nottinghill 6 x 6 paper pad.

Rubbernecker Blog Stroll/Stamp Release Day!

Good morning and welcome to the Rubbernecker Blog Stroll. Today, Rubbernecker Stamps releases SIX (6) new sets that Mr. Rubbernecker has worked very hard to create!

To celebrate this release, we invite you to Blog Stroll along with the Rubbernecker Red-Hot Mommas. The Stroll begins at the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog where you will find the guidelines on how to win one of the five sets being given away during this release. If you haven’t started at the Rubbernecker Blog, you should go start there where you’ll find the first clue to begin your Stroll.

My Phrase clue is: at Rubbernecker

The Blog Stroll continues at Sherry’s Blog where you will find the next phrase clue.

My sample today uses the newly released Flourish 463 set as well as Wildflowers 465 & Spring Inchies 425. The background stamp is Abstract Floral and the sentiment is from Fashion Icons 456. To start, the purple layer was stamped using Castaway ink and ironed to get the bleached look. I punched the edge with an EK Success victorian punch and edged it with flat pearls. The sentiment was stamped with Adirondack white ink. The dress was made using Spellbinders Classic Heart (3rd from the smallest) for the bodice, Classic Ovals (largest) and Classic Scallop Rectangle Lg. for the hemline. The dress was die cut from Prism Crabapple pink cardstock and stamped with the flourishes and castaway pad to get the sublte white bleaching. I overstamped with the flourish stamp in black and did the top with the small flower. The edges of the dress were sponged with Distress worn lipstick ink. I finished the dress with May Arts ribbon, a stamped toile flower and flat pearls. There is also a shimmer mist made with Perfect Pearls/blush/tattered rose reinker/water for a little glitz. The dress is raised on foam dimensional tape.

The time collage was embossed using detail black embossing powder on the designer paper. Then, the edges were swiped with the embossing pad and embossed with Distress Tea Dye EP. The designer paper behind the time collage is also from the same 7gypsies paper collection, and I lightly stamped the french script randomly. I love the soft edges the distress powder gave the black embossed image and the cherub face on the DP that was positioned under the small clock on the collage. (use a stamp positioner to get an image exactly where you want it when using a paper with a pattern)

Today’s card features the 2 new Kittie Kits, Farm Scene #8 & Chicken Coop #7.  I used the Master #2 set for the gravel.  The crackle paint background was created by painting the cardstock with Ceramcoat crackle medium and when almost dry, coating the layer with Sandstone acrylic paint.  the Images were masked and misted with distress reinkers and then color was sponged on while the layer was still wet.  The sentiment is an SEI rub on.

The barn doors were stamped and layered on the top of the barn using a gate fold opening.

My card started by making a crackle paint background. Prism Desert Coral Dark CS was covered with Ceramcoat Crackle Medium.

The rooster and chicken panels are new images from the new Kittie Kit Chicken Coop #7. The chicken tracks and gravel are from previously released kits, Scene #3 & Master #2.

Wacky Wednesday #7

                                                         

Juliana is hosting the challenge today and she decided on an inspiration piece. 

The possibilities are endless with this one, stop by the Rubbernecker Blog for all the details & play along with us!

I had so much fun with the inspiration that I made 2 cards to show you today.  The first (shown in the close up view) shows the faux bleached inchies combined with 7gypsies  Designer Paper.  The wildflowers & sentiment were stamped on the same paper as the floral squares.  I stamped the sm. flower from the wildflowers set onto a Tim Holtz Fragment and then used alcohol inks on the back.   The beautiful ribbon is also from 7gypsies. 

 

 

 

Stamps:  Rubbernecker Wildflowers Set, Grid Background

Paper:  Prism Black and white, 7gypsies Gypsy Market 6x6 paper pad

Ink: Stazon Jet Black, Alcohol Inks/rustic Lodge set & Metallic Gold.  Distress Fired Brick for sponged edges. 

Accessories:  7gypsies Hudson Valley Assortment, Tim Holtz Fragment, 1” square punch, corner rounder, Spellbinders Labels 1 die.  Glass leaves, Jump ring, Clear EP, craft iron.

 

 

My 2nd inspiration card uses a torn strip of the same faux bleached panel I made, but it looks so different layered on the blue DP vs. the green DP.

 

 

 

 

Stamps: Rubbernecker Grid Background, Collage (can’t find the name, but I will edit it in)

Paper: Prism simply Smooth White, Desert Coral Medium and Dark, Mystic Dark.  7gypsies 12 x 12 savannah collection Designer Paper

Ink:  Adirondack Pigment Denim, Terra Cotta.  VersaMark, Alcohol Inks/rustic Lodge set.  Distress reinkers/Weathered Wood and Tea Dye.

Accessories:  Clear Embossing Pwdr. Craft Iron, Perfect Pearls copper, Black Hemp Twine, Making Memories word washer, SEI rub on (remember) vintage postage.  I hope you decide to participate in the challenge, Happy Wednesday to you!

Friend in all Seasons

I can’t help myself.  Here’s one more card using the newly released Flower Silhouettes set from Rubbernecker Stamp co.  For this card, I started with Prism papers and a decorative foam frame that was picked up at the $ store a couple years ago.  The frame was white, so I first added Adirondack Paint Dabber/Pearl.  When dry, I sponged Stazon Timber Brown, Royal Purple & Olive Green.  The frame was layered on a Spellbinders die from Labels 1 (3rd from the largest)  The die was the perfect size and shape for the floral frame!  The center of the frame has cardstock in Wizard Light and then a 1 1/4” square of Herbal Garden Light.  I stamped the sentiment using Stazon Timber Brown and then the flower from the row of flower pots in the stamp set was inked with Distress Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord & Shabby Shutters.  I did stamp off on scrap paper once before stamping on the layer so the sentiment stood out and not the flower.  A Tim Holtz Fragment was layered over the top of the sentiment square and is attached using Glossy Accents.  Flat pearls and the Friend Charm on ball chain finish off the layer.  The background was created using one of my all time favorite stamps – Baroque Background.  I dabbed the entire stamp using Adirondack Paint Dabber/Pearl, then dabbed around the circumference with Lettuce and then Espresso before stamping on the layer.  When dry, I punched 2- 1/8” holes and added a stick pin with May Arts ribbons and then sewed the layer to the card base.  Supply list is below.

Here is my phrase clue for the GRAND PRIZE: STAMPS

The Blog Stroll continues at Sherry’s Blog

My card today starts with the newly released Flower Silhouettes set and the Flourish and screen backgrounds that were released last week.  I love how the flourish background goes with the new stamp set!  The technique is Faux Bleach using White Simply Smooth Prism cardstock.  The background was stamped in Distress Embossing Ink and embossed with clear powder.  Next comes the Alcohol inks from the new Country side collection.  The colors in the set include Shell Pink, Willow and Cloudy Blue.  To reveal the embossed image, place a sheet of copy paper over the top of the layer and iron off the embossing powder.  (you will see it melt into the copy paper)  The flourish from Flower Silhouettes was stamped in the corners using Distress Walnut Stain.  The layer was sewn on to Prism Baby Pink Medium and then Spring Willow Medium.  The layers of ribbon sewn on the faux bleach layer are both May Arts – 1” lt. blue woven edge satin & 5/8” variegated organdy.  My little tags measure 1” x 2” and were inked up with the rock n roll technique and the screen background was stamped over the top.  The words are all one long stamp.  I sewed the tags onto a layer of Prism Baby Blue Medium, trimmed and then layered on the Baby Pink Medium.  I accordian folded the tag and mounted it on foam dimensional tape for a little dimension.  The center tag sports more May Arts ribbon including a variegated green fiber and 1/2” Blue/Brown dotted organdy.  Lastly, the beautiful buttons are SEI from the Poppy collection.  The pink ones were smooshed into my Distress Worn Lipstick pad and air dried.  I sanded the edges of some of the buttons for a worn look.  They are sewn to the card using Linen Thread. 

 

Here’s a run down of the supplies:

Prism Paper:  White Simply Smooth, Baby Pink Med., Baby Blue Med, Spring Willow

Stamps:  Flower Silhouettes, Flourish & Screen Backgrounds

Distress Ink:  Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Shabby Shutters, Worn Lipstick
