Easter is just around the corner, so I thought I would create a card using The Easter Signpost and some Easter Inchies.

I stamped the inchies images onto white card stock and colored them with Copic markers before mounting onto the green card stock panel. The Easter Signpost was stamped onto the white card front using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and then coloring with Copic markers.

Stamps: Easter Inchies SKU 436, Easter Signpost SKU 15-01

Wednesday's Worktable with Charlene

2012-02-22T06:00:00.017-05:00

Good morning, Rubbernecker friends! Have you been yearning for Spring? I sure have, and I have noticed that I have been using a lot of Spring colors in my up and coming designs. One color I rarely ever pull out is Stampin' Up's retired Apricot Appeal, and I have a whole pack of it! Therefore, for my design today, I designed around my color choices of Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate Chip.

I used various Copic markers to get the color of my hibiscus as close to apricot as possible. I colored the center with shades of pink. After I cut out the image, I covered it with Glossy Accents because I like how it adds to the intensity of the color. I die cut the leaves using the die from my Rose Creations Spellbinders die and sponged the outer edge of the leaves with Adirondack Pesto ink.

Supplies I used:
Stamps: Hibiscus flower
Paper: Stampin' Up's Apricot Appeal (retired), Certainly Celery (retired), Chocolate Chip dp; Gina K luxury white
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Adirondack Pesto; Ranger Vintage Photo
Accessories: Rose Creations leaf die, zig zag border punch, eyelets, blending tool, dimensionals, Glossy Accents

Oh, and speaking of Spring, again, the Stampin' Sisterhood is having a Spring blog hop this Saturday, February 25!! Be sure to stop by and see all the cards the sisters have in store for you, as well as having an opportunity to win some stamps!

Have a terrific day!

TUESDAYS WITH THE TEAM.................

2012-02-21T10:21:00.004-05:00

It’s Tuesdays With the Team and I am here to show you a sweet, quick card made with some adorable images from Rubbernecker Stamps.

Aren’t these the cutest little pandas you have ever seen?! I adore their sweet eyes and the little hearts at the top. The sentiment (“Thinking of you is a nice thing to do!”) goes perfectly with their expressions of care and love.

I stamped my images on glossy white paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and added some fun Bo Bunny Enchanted designer paper for the background. The ribbon trims are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Kittie’s Korner- May All Your Weeds Be Wildflowers

2012-02-20T01:00:00.000-05:00

Welcome to Kittie’s Korner. I have a simple yet soft and pretty project to share with you today. I have lots of Rubbernecker background stamps and panels and pulled out one of my favorites, Wild Flower to play with. I paired it with a sentiment from the Garden Phrase set. The sentiment and background image go perfectly together.

I stamped the Wild Flower image and sentiment on with white craft ink and embossed with white embossing powder.

I created a multi loop bow for the finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will back tomorrow to see what our Tuesday with the Team has in store. Have a great week.

SATURDAY "NIGHT" FUN with javablustamper

2012-02-18T21:55:00.005-05:00

Hey there all!! Jacquie here!! How are you? Wanted to drop by with a KRAFTY creation!! I don't know if you know this, BUT, I have a LOVE for Kraft cardstock!! Lately I have been even Copic'ing it!! Haha! How do you like that one?!! Copic'ing? Yepper! I JUST made that one up!! I think it MAY stick too!
Ok, so........I have been trying to do a LITTLE of that Clean And Simple thing! I am SO excited to share this one with you!! I hope you like it!! I stamped some flowers from the Rubbernecker WILD FLOWER SET SKU 465 with Tuxedo Memento Ink, onto a pre-made Kraft card, and colored them in with my Copics. Then I cut it out with my Spellbinders Ovals and distressed the sides with some Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Once that was done, I used my Spellbinders Labels 6 to cut out a MISC piece of patterned paper (sorry it was a scrap and I don't know the name). I distressed that with the same Walnut Distress Ink. I then took ANOTHER pre-made Kraft card and, AGAIN, distressed it with SAID ink! Haha!! After the Kraft card base was distressed, I added my sentiment from the SAME WILD FLOWER stamp set! Once everything was ready, I combined it all and added some of my FAVE twine! You guessed it, my Mandarin twine was distressed as well!! Only difference was that I distressed it with not only Walnut Stain, BUT, Old Paper and Spiced Marmalade too! Those inks are also TH Distress Inks! I HAD to distress the twine, for it did NOT quite match! AND................we all know how I am about the "matchy-matchy" thing!
Anyway, I hope you LIKE it as much as I do! Don't forget, we will have a NEW challenge for you tomorrow!! You won't want to miss it!! Thanks SO much for hanging out with me tonight!! Have an AWESOME one!!

Karen's Korner - The Key

2012-02-16T03:47:00.000-05:00

I wanted to make a more masculine card today, and because of the colors and keeping it fairly simple, I think I achieved that. My husband really spoiled me this Valentine's Day, so I created this card with my him in mind.

The card itself is Burgundy card stock. I then added the kraft layer which is stamped with a heart flourish image from Love Set. I inked it with Gathered Twigs distress ink and stamped it off once before stamping onto my panel. The beautiful key is inked with Aged Mahogany distress ink, stamped onto the panel and clear embossed to add just a little more texture and interest. That panel is attached to the card front. I then stamped the sentiment using the same Aged Mahogany ink onto Vanilla card stock and clear embossed it. I tore the bottom of the panel and added brads to the top corners before popping it up with foam squares.

Did you get spoiled on Valentine's Day? If so, you might want to make this Thank You card and send it to your Valentine.

Wednesday's Worktable with Charlene

2012-02-15T06:00:00.043-05:00

Hello, stamping friends, and welcome to another Wednesday's Worktable!! Last week I shared a Field of Flowers with you; this week I have a Basket of Flowers.

I started with a piece of 4 x 5 1/4" watercolor paper and water colored it with Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, and Crushed Olive Distress inks to create a softly colored background. I stamped the Morning Glory frame in Aged Mahogany. On a separate piece of the same water colored paper, I stamped the basket in Aged Mahogany and then used a blender pen to blend the Mahogany and add a little Tea Dye and Vintage Photo to it, as well. I cut out the basket so I could pop it up. I stamped the vine image in Aged Mahogany and Crushed Olive, dry embossed the oval, and then adhered the basket. I used my small hydrangea punch to punch the tiny flowers out of So Saffron card stock. I sponged the edges of the flowers with Vintage Photo ink. I used my double circle punch for the flower centers with Bravo Burgundy. I distressed the edges of the base piece of watercolor paper with a distressing tool and then sponged the edges with Vintage Photo. For the crocheted flower center, I punched Bravo Burgundy card stock with a 1/4" circle punch and then covered it with Glossy Accents. The beautiful ribbon in the upper left corner is May Arts silk ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by, and let me know if you have any questions by posting them in your comments!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Morning Glory Frame, Create a Garden (basket), Vine
Paper: So Saffron, watercolor
Ink: Ranger Aged Mahogany, Peeled Paint, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo, and Crushed Olive Distress inks
Accessories: crocheted flower, double circle punch, 1/4" circle punch, May Arts Silk ribbon, tool distresser, blender tool, dimensionals, Textured Impressions Designer Frame (embossed oval)

Good morning everyone and welcome to another Tuesdays with the Team here on the Stampin’ Sisterhood blog! Joan here to wish you very Happy Valentines Day!!!!! Did you get all your Valentines made and sent out? I didn’t get mine in the mail till yesterday so I’m afraid they will be a little late.....Oh well, it’s the thought that counts, right???

This is one of the Valentines I made for my children..it’s very CAS (Clean and Simple) and fairly flat for mailing. The sweet little KK Originals Stamp #SKU: 03-17 KK from Rubbernecker is colored with Copics, cut out, and popped up on a background of Real Red cardstock. The sentiment is a Stamp Oasis stamp #SKU: 1762 SO from Rubbernecker....it’s stamped with Real Red ink and the gray shimmery ribbon finishes it off. .

Thanks for stopping by....hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day!!!

Kittie’s Korner-Thinking Of You

2012-02-13T03:19:00.000-05:00

Happy Monday and welcome to Kittie’s Korner. I have a pretty shabby style card to share with you today. I guess it’s not a secret that I have fallen in love with making paper flowers for my projects and I love how this one turned out.

The background was stamped with Antique Linen ink using the Rubbernecker Victorian Damask background panel. The frame was cut using the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis rectangle die, sponged with antique linen and then mounted with mounting tape.

The flourishes were cut using the Spellbinders Floral Flourishes die set. The flowers were made using a Martha Stewart Flower Punch and EK Success Mini Daisy punch and Fiskars 1/4” flower punch. I put taupe pearls in the flower centers as well as on the flourishes. The foliage was punched with EK Success Rock Fern punch. The sentiment is Rubbernecker’s Thinking of You 565-10.

Check out my punched flower tutorial and flower spray tutorial if you would like to see step by step photos of how I create my projects.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by. Don’t forget to check back tomorrow to see our Tuesday With The Team Post.

A NEW STAMPIN' SISTER

2012-02-10T14:42:00.003-05:00

Hey y'all!! How are you? Just wanted to stop by, so you can join us in giving a HUGE Sisterhood WELCOME to our NEWEST Design Team member!! To our NEWEST, Stampin' Sister!! Say hello, how do you do, to.....................................

ELLEN TAYLOR!!

OF .....THE SERENDIPITOUS STAMPER

Here is a little bit about Ellen, BELOW, and an AWESOME creation of hers too!! Hope you will leave her some LOVE and be sure to visit her BLOG to see MORE of her AWESOMENESS!! Yay, SO excited!! See you tomorrow for some "Saturday Night FUN"!!

HERE'S ELLEN:
Hi, I am Ellen Taylor. I live in beautiful, sunny Alberta, Canada. I have a wonderful husband, two very smart and beautiful daughters. One in university and one in grade 10. I paper craft full time and teach a Paper Crafts options class to grades 5 through 7. I have a drama club for kids and direct our local elementary schools Musical Theater. This year we are doing Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. When I am not in my craft room or at school, you can find me in the garden or somewhere with a fishing pole. I started stamping in 2006 after being invited to a card making class at a local store. I have been hooked ever since! I don't think I can be pinned down to one style as I love to try new things, if something sits still for to long at my house it is endanger of being altered. I am completely over the moon and honored to be part of the Stampin' Sisterhood and designing along side these incredibly talented women with Rubbernecker Stamps!!

AND ELLEN'S CREATION:

ENJOY LIFE~Javablustamper/Jacquie

Karen’s Korner–Flourish Pendant

2012-02-09T00:52:00.000-05:00

I was able to attend CHA last week and saw new products being released soon. I even got to try a few things doing make ‘n takes at several booths. This pendant was one of them – and then I came home and modified it a little bit.

I added some glass paint to the back of this glass slice. I applied alternating red and yellow horizontal stripes, then took a toothpick and drew it through the paints to create the background. It took a while to dry (hours!). Once I got home, I thought it would look even better if I added to it, so I stamped the flourish using black Staz On ink onto a small piece of acetate and put that into the frame over my previous creation. I really like the look of it, and so I created a card to go with it. I inked the Crackle Panel with Barn Door distress ink and stamped that onto the yellow card stock. I then inked and stamped the same flourish I used for the pendant with both Barn Door and black ink, stamping them onto the left side of the card stock. The card front is matted with both black and red card stock. I added the black cord to the pendant and wrapped it to the back, so it can be removed and worn.

Stamps: Crackle Panel SKU 574, Flourish SKU 530-10

Wednesday's Worktable with Charlene

2012-02-08T06:00:00.011-05:00

Hi! Charlene here with another Wednesday's Worktable posting! I was playing around with a background watercolor technique the other day and stamped the Wildflowers in bold colors. When I set the piece aside, I happened to lay it upon a piece of Soft Sky cardstock, and I loved the stark contrast! I hope you do, too.

For the background on my main image, I rubbed my ink pads across my Tim Holtz craft sheet, spritzed the ink with water, and gently pressed my watercolor paper into the inks a few times. Obviously, I had to mask the sky from the ground colors. My photo washed out the color of the sky, but you might see it better if you click on the photo for a closer view. Once dried, I stamped my Wildflowers with Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed, and Fired Brick inks.

For the main card base, I stamped the Grid background with Creamy Caramel and the Victorian Lace background with Baja Breeze. I used my tulips embossing folder for the frame on this panel and lightly sponged the outer edges of everything with Vintage Photo ink.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Have a terrific day!

Supplies I used:

Stamps: Victorian Lace and Grid backgrounds; Wildflowers

Paper: Soft Sky, Whisper White, Watercolor Paper

Ink: Ranger Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Mustard Seed, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Tumbled Glass, and Broken China; Stampin' Up Baja Breeze and Creamy Caramel

Accessories: Stampin' Up Tulip border embossing folder, Embosslits Butterflies, petite oval Nestabilities, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page eyelet/scalloped border punch, sponge dauber

Kittie’s Korner Clean and Simple Just Because

2012-02-06T01:30:00.000-05:00

Welcome to Kittie’s Korner. I have a clean and simple card to share with you today.

The flower was made using Papertrey’s Blossom Builders #3 and the foliage is from the Stampin’ Up Bird Punch. The sentiment is Just Because 565-22. The punched border is the Martha Stewart Eyelet PATP set.

I love the simplicity of the pink and white paper with the pop of color using the green foliage and green layering the sentiment.

I hope you have a great week. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you will come by tomorrow to see what our Tuesday with the Team has for you.

Karen’s Korner–Happy Valentine’s Day

2012-02-02T00:33:00.001-05:00

I am thrilled to show you what I came up with using the tree trunk from a Kittie Kit and roses! I love a rose tree.

I stamped the tree trunk using Gathered Twigs distress ink onto white card stock. I then inked the Roses Large stamp with markers, stamping onto white and clear embossing. I inked Lace Border with Versamark and clear embossed onto Poppy Parade card stock, cut out and adhered to the card front top and bottom. The sentiment is Petite Happy Valentine’s Day inked with Poppy Parade ink, cut/embossed using Spellbinders Lacey Squares and mounted onto a Poppy Parade square before popping up with foam squares and adding a dotted organdy bow.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!

Wednesday's Worktable with Charlene

2012-02-01T06:00:00.025-05:00

Life has been rather crazy for me lately. I haven't had a chance to create something new for my Wednesday's Worktable post this week, but it is a design I've not shared on the Stampin' Sisterhood blog, so that makes it kind of new, right? I actually made this card mid-year last year, and it happens to still be one of my favorite cards I've made for Rubbernecker Stamps. I love this Child with Bouquet image. I stamped her with Versmark ink onto creamy caramel cardstock and then heat embossed the image with copper embossing powder. I watercolored the image with the inks listed below. I hope you love it as much as I do! Thanks for stopping in today!

Supplies I used:

Stamps: Child with Bouquet (#532-09)
Cardstock: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Cosmo Cricket dp
Ink: Adirondack Cranberry and Pesto; Ranger Distress Inks (Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo, Broken China, Peeled Paint)
Accessories: oval Nestabilities, dimensionals, green ribbon, cream crochet ribbon, copper embossing powder, versamark, Scor Tape
